Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26

I heard 'clear or cloudy', from this recording, on the radio recently and had to purchase it. It is strange but it is the sort of song that makes life prior to listening to it different from life after. I find it sad that so many people haven't heard it. There are also many other wonderful works in this collection. Given you get twelve well recorded CDs with top quality performances, this has to be one of the bargains of the age.

Please buy it.

5 out of 5 stars A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

5 out of 5 stars Great set of wartime rarities.......2003-05-14

Spike Jones was the king of the novelty song performers, with hits like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and the parody version of "Sheik of Araby" becoming huge hits during World War II. This is a swell 3-CD set, gathering a full eighty-one of Jones' best tracks from his 1940s heyday, drawn from an extensive archive of radio broadcasts made for the Standard Transcription service. The tightness of his City Slickers band is amply demonstrated in these manic, kookily orchestrated performances. Toots, squonks, blatts and bleats whiz by at lightning speed, as one daffy song after another will delight devoted fans. Amazingly, Jones had the unusual, almost unique ability to perform a repertoire almost entirely made up of comedic material, and yet still be quite listenable and engaging. His jazz chops were hardly in question, and from time to time Jones would dash off a non-novelty ballad or two, just to give the rubes something to think about. Of course, just as often he would perform a song that *sounded* like a straight ballad, but would turn out to be another goof. (One great example of this is the sultry "Serenade To A Jerk," sung in slinky, burlesque tones by Myrtle Horwin.) This collection may seem a little overwhelming, but like his studio recordings, these radio performances have a certain brilliance and joie de vivre about them that will leave you enchanted. Definitely worth checking out!

This collection has remastered material from the large stack of Standard Transcription discs from the early 1940's. There are many songs not recorded on RCA, many on the theme of wartime ("48 Reasons Why"), and the quality is excellent. The packaging is threadbare but this is an essential CD package for true music lovers.

3 out of 5 stars Not the best........2005-03-02

I bought this CD with high hopes. I absolutely loved the first one, the one recorded live. This one was a disappointment though. The guys songs are good and their voices are in good form but it was missing something...feeling, I guess. The live concert version can make me cry and laugh it's so sung with feeling, but this is just singing. I just felt it lacked feeling. I guess that's why I was disappointed with it.

5 out of 5 stars What a magnificent Heritage.......2005-01-22

I highly recommend this album to all fans of Irish music. This is the last album with Ronan as a memember and it is one of their best. Ronan's "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen" is wonderful, so too is Finbarr's "South of the Border". The theme from the Titanic "My Heart Will Go On" is the best version since Celine Dione's. My favorite track is Anthony's "The West's Awake" . One point to note is that this group is one of the few out there who can perform live with an equally good recorded sound. Having listened to them at Meadowbrook NH the night of Ronan's farewell I can assure you that live or recorded they have a fantastic sound. I highly recommend this CD to all fans of Irish music.

5 out of 5 stars A Review .......2004-10-30

I have never really been a fan of Traditional Irish Music and had never even HEARD of the Irish Tenors....That is until a friend of mine introduced me to the recording of "Live In Belfast" Instantly, I was hooked. I have become addicted to a lot of these songs. Especially the goofier ones they sing. like "Phil the Fluther" and "Courtin in the Kitchen" When Heritage was released I was estatic....As I had loved all the songs they had released before. Even though they recycled some of their songs. I loved the way they re recorded "Red Is The Rose" with Finbar in place of John and also "Fields Of Athenry" I Found this version to be better than the other one. I found it really bizare that they would sing "My Heart Will Go On" as that is not an Irish Song...Ireland was where the Titanic sank. but still. I really enjoyed listening to it. "South of the Boarder" and "Golden Jubilee" along with "Little Brigid Flynn" were quite entertainingly cute. I really enjoyed Anthony's "The West's Awake" and "The Parting Glass" and "The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls" I would, too also love to see Anthony put out a solo album.

5 out of 5 stars Heritage, The Irish Tenors.......2004-09-30

This is another delightful effort by Anthony, Finbar and Ronan.
My favorite songs were "Off to Philadephia" (Anthony) and "My Heart Will Go On" (Finbar). I didn't even mind the repetition of some songs heard on past CDs - but wondered about it, until I learned of the departure of Ronan Tynan. I am curious to see the kind of arrangements they have included on their new CD, due to come out later this year, which they made upon the return of John McDermott. John is a Canadian of Celtic descent, whose voice, though pleasant in a folksy way, does not seem to blend as well with Anthony and Finbar as did Ronan's trained vocals. I would be very pleased to see Anthony make a solo CD, including such ballads as (my all-time favorite) Bantry Bay and some of the wonderfully playful Irish ditties he sometimes performs at his solo concerts.





3 out of 5 stars Tattered Tenors.......2004-08-20

When the Irish Tenors burst upon the public scene not too many years ago, they were heralded as a refreshing change in the sea of musical mediocrity. The original trio of McDermott, Kearns and Tynan thrilled us with their exuberance and vocal virtuosity and frankly, I miss that. (Please note: since I originally wrote this review the threesome has changed to McDermott, Kearns and Wright with Tynan having left the group).

As one of their latest efforts, "Heritage" is an "okay" album, but it certainly lacks the freshness and fun of the Irish Tenors' earlier efforts. Of course, there are notable exceptions such as Kearns' roguish "Off to Philadelphia", the sprightly "Golden Jubilee" and the beautiful "The West's Awake" solo by Kearns. Wright's "Little Brigid Flynn" is downright fun but his "South of the Border" is oddly out of place. With too many recycled songs and a little too little Anthony Kearns, I personally found "Heritage" to be the weakest effort in the generally stellar Irish Tenors' discography.

5 out of 5 stars Forgive the cheesy title, but a star is re-born once again........2007-07-09

In 1954, Judy Garland gave the most acclaimed performance of her career as a musical movie star in George Cukor's musical remake of the 1937 straight-up drama A Star Is Born. After its premiere, the film was heavily edited and would not be seen in its near complete form again for nearly thirty years. Judy was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance, but lost to Grace Kelly, to the chagrin of many Garland fans to this day, as well as many celebrities of the day. (Groucho Mark famously called it the biggest robbery since Brinks.)

In all that mess, the soundtrack was released by Columbia on vinyl record in mono and has since never been out of print and was a best-seller for years. In 1988, Columbia took the musical numbers and the overture directly from the film's stereo soundtrack (As, sadly, stereo soundtrack masters no longer existed.) and released those onto CD. The sound quality was somewhat horrendous, but digital audio was still in its infancy and not much else could be done.

In 2004, for the film's 50th anniversary, Columbia, Legacy, and Sony Music Soundtrax released this incredible new expanded remastered CD reissue of the film's soundtrack. This is the most complete soundtrack you can find and it's definitely worth upgrading from your 1988 CD release.

This CD contains not only all of the songs, including an extended intro to The Man That Got Away which was shortened in the film as well as the complete intro to Gotta Have Me Go With You, but also contains a near complete release of the instrumental score, which includes whole tracks and parts of tracks that were not used in the film, as well as an alternate vocal take of It's A New World, the deleted When My Sugar Walks Down The Street segment from Born In A Trunk, and a static-y complete version of The Trinidad Coconut Oil Shampoo Commercial, which was taken from a worn acetate playback disc - the only complete recording in existence.

The soundtrack is taken from a mixing and matching of several elements, such as acetate playback discs, the original Columbia mono soundtrack album masters, and the film's 4-track stereo soundtrack, among others. This means that the soundtrack goes back and forth from being stereo and mono. However, this does not detract from my listening experience any, and frankly, I can't tell much of a difference. One interesting note is that Gotta Have Me Go With You uses both the film's soundtrack and the mono soundtrack album masters to create a faithful listening experience, from the mono instrumental intro to the song itself, which except for a short portion, is taken from the film's 4-channel soundtrack. (The mono portion of the vocal part was used to edit out some plot-related screams that were present in the 1988 release. This method of retaining the aural integrity of Gotta Have Me Go With You was also used when it was included on the Rhino Records compilation Judy Garland In Hollywood: Her Greatest Movie Hits.)

Despite the fact that this soundtrack is taken from several different surviving elements and sadly not from a single set of elements, as Warner Bros. didn't have the foresight to save everything like MGM and Disney did, this is an excellent presentation of this landmark soundtrack. The sound quality for the most part is excellent, and the liner notes are also wonderful. Garland historian John Fricke writes a small essay on the production of the film and an annotated guide to the soundtrack, which gives a synopsis of the plot and also indicates where the tracks from the CD appear in the film. Producer Didier C. Deutsch also writes a small essay on the creation of this CD release, giving notes on the elements and some specific tracks.

Amazon is offering this soundtrack at an excellent price, and I have to say, it's a bargain for a soundtrack of this caliber and sound quality. Any Garland fan or movie soundtrack fan should have this in their collection.

5 out of 5 stars A Star Is Born Soundtrack Review.......2007-01-10

A really excellent soundtrack to go with an excellent movie. This is some of Judy Garland's best material in both music and acting. The power of her voice on "The Man That Got Away" is amazing. "Born In A Trunk", "It's A New World", "Someone At Last" and "Lose That Long Face" are other recommended tracks. This is a MUST HAVE for all you Judy Garland fans.

5 out of 5 stars Judy at her peak!.......2006-05-30

Judy Garland's finest film work was "A Star Is Born." Because she and her husband, Sid Luft, were also the producers, it was the most intensely involving production she had ever undertaken. The laser focus of her brilliant talent was never before realized on film to this degree. Also, she had gained tremendous personal confidence due to the unprecedented audience response to the concerts she had done between her MGM films and ASIB. The love with which the live audience embraced her, brought new heights to her acting as well.
The production values of the film were top of the line and it shows on this fine CD. It's a chance to experience Judy's talent on a more intimate basis without the visuals.
A must-have for every serious Garland collector.

5 out of 5 stars a "Star" shines like never before..........2005-04-27

This reissued remaster of A STAR IS BORN is a must-own for fans of the movie, and in particular those who were somewhat dissatified by the previous CD edition (CK 44389). That edition was great for offering us most of the main numbers in stereo/mono mix but was marred by poor analogue distortion and other remastering problems (though this was the best that could have been done at the time). This new edition (CK 65965) presents the entire score, including background and incidental sections as well as the cut material, in a sparkling new package.

The big bonus for getting this latest edition is for Garland's complete rendition of "The Trinidad Coconut Oil Shampoo Commercial" (without the dialogue of James Mason). This has been taken from a rare acetate master, so while the sound quality is not the best, having the number complete without interrupting dialogue is a more than ample compensation. You will notice too that "Lose That Long Face" has been newly mastered from a better stereo source (cutting out the thunder-crashes that were heard on the first CD master, and Garland's singing no longer has those violent analogue fluctuations during the introduction). "Gotta Have Me Go with You" is now presented without the screams and noises, in a new master from the mono soundtrack.

"When My Baby Walks Down the Street", a section cut from the "Born in a Trunk" sequence, has been added as a bonus track. This sparkling-new STAR IS BORN reissue is a great tribute to what is most definitely Judy Garland's greatest hour on film.

5 out of 5 stars Musical perfection of the highest magnitude!!!.......2005-02-25

Was there ever a more perfect voice than the one possessed by Judy Garland? Powerful yet gentle. Dynamic yet restrained. Bone-chilling yet soothing. She had the pipes!

And her instrument was showcased at its best in the music from her triumphant "A Star is Born".

This expanded version is a bona-fide treasure with the highlight being Garland's earth-shattering "The Man That Got Away," presented with vocals and several instrumental versions. Along with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and "The Trolley Song", "The Man That Got Away" is an essential for Garland fans, as well as those that know a good song when they hear it.

The fifteen-minute medley that was featured in the film as the "introduction" of "Vicki" to the public is another outstanding track, featuring "Born in a Trunk", "Suwanee," and "My Melancholy Baby," all exquisitely performed by the legendary talent.

Clocking in at just under eighty minutes, the soundtrack to the classic film is, indeed, in a class by itself, and deserving of repeated listening, maintaining its "freshness" after more than five decades.

Despite the bluesy bark of Travis Tritt's soulful vocals, his artistry lacks the bite of his outlaw heroes. His first album for Columbia (after a decade with Warner Bros.) finds him once again mixing country tradition with rock dynamics. "Livin' on Borrowed Time" sounds enough like Hank Williams Jr. that it could pass as Bocephus Lite, while the title cut recycles every ramblin'-man cliché from the Allman/Skynyrd school. On "Never Get Away from Me," he offers sound-alike homage to Waylon Jennings (and wife Jessi Colter). For all of Tritt's good-ol'-boy bluster, the bittersweet balladry of "Best of Intentions" and the bluegrass uplift of "It's a Great Day to Be Alive" suggest that he's really a softy at heart, and more than an echo of his influences. --Don McLeese

5 out of 5 stars Down the Road I Go review.......2005-09-05

This cd is awesome. Travis Tritt sounds amazing and every track has that down home, soulful vibe we all love about his music.

5 out of 5 stars Travis Tritt turned this rocker to country........2004-12-22

This is the kind of album that makes hard rockers like me start listening to Honky-tonk and liking it. I, like other reviewers enjoyed the "Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde." video. I mentioned it to my friend, who lives country music. I also happened to mention that one of my favorite country songs happens to be "Here's A Quarter Call Someone Who Cares!". She mentioned that it too was from Travis Tritt. She married a guy that looks just like Travis. She told me that the whole album is one of the best country albums she's ever heard.

I think I have to aggree with her. Every song is strong. I think that Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde is one of the greatest country songs I've ever heard.

Down The Road I Go - The reality of a loner that lives on the road not wanting to "Find grass stains on the bottom of my feet!" He talks of how the girl needs to nail him to the ground because be's born to run.

Livin' On Borrowed Time - Living on the edge, no money to do anything, just surviving paycheck to paycheck.

Best of Intentions - A great balad love song. Tells of how a woman loves him even though he can't "build you a castle". No matter how bad things get, or how badly he does, he's always had the best of intentions. Great hit. Great sound.

It's a Great Day To Be Alive - Just happy with the way things are and living life for what it is.

Love Of A Woman - How the love of a woman is the best thing for a man. How women know them better then they know themselves. How no matter how hard, or wild they are their women are in control.

Never get away from me - Not letting go of the woman that you love. Despite rejection from family. How love can cross barriers and bridge disputes.

Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde - Story of a guy who gets a heck of a lot more then he bargained for picking up a red-headed knock-out. She robs stores, and lands him in trouble. Classic. Billy Bob Thorton stars in this. Travis plays the tow truck driver who shakes his head at the guy for what happened. Classic. Great video.

I wish I was wrong - Wishing that he's seen the truth before it ran him over like a truck. Love is blind and not realizing it.

If The Fall Don't Kill You - Several stories of infidelity. How true love can be distarous is you are not careful.

Just Too Tired To Fight It - Finding the end of loves road and just not really wanting to fight it. Tired of fighting the memories of a love lost and gone.

Southbound Train - The final track is the fastest. It's written with Charlie Daniels and it shows. It's the story of a woman who leaves Bangor Maine for the sun and heat of the south and her new life. Her family didn't want it but she left anyway. She's a "knockdown queenie in a bakini". She drives the guys crazy. Her new life was started by the clickity clack of the southbound train.

This is the type of album that hard rockers can listen to and start to enjoy country. This isn't Haggard, Jennings, or Nelson. He's very successfully put a very hard edge to country and bridged a gap that was popularized by Charlie Daniels.

I recommend this album to any rock fan that wants to broaden their horizons and branch out into country.

5 out of 5 stars Tritt is terrific!.......2004-06-23

Travis Tritt's 2000 album, DOWN THE ROAD I GO, spawned several hits: "Modern Day Bonny and Clyde," about a pair of outlaws (the video featured Billy Bob Thornton); "It's a Great Day to Be Alive," about a former outlaw who looks back on his ruff n rowdy past with a smile; "Love of a Woman," a stand-by-your-man anthem about how men cannot live without their women; and the best of all, Tritt's own "Best of Intentions," about a man who's sorry for not fullfilling his dreams.

But there are other gems on here, such as the rowdy title track and "Livin On Borrowed Time." You've also got "Never Get Away From Me," a simple but enjoyable tribute to Waylon and Jessi. Or "I Wish I Was Wrong," which tests Tritt's superb vocals. The final track, "Southbound Train," is a romping tune of a woman heading to Florida to kick back and cut loose.

DOWN THE ROAD I GO is one of Travis Tritt's best efforts. Though his songwriting doesn't get as much credit on this album as in past records, it is still there--marking Tritt as one of contemporary country's best singer/songwriters. With a powerhouse voice and undeniable outlaw status, Travis Tritt is a legend in the making.

5 out of 5 stars platinum once again.......2004-02-22

THIS IS ONE OF TRAVIS TRITTS' BEST ALBUMS, EVERY SONG IS WELL DONE. AFTER TWO YEARS OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT THIS FORMER AWARD WINNING ARTIST PUT ALL 4 OF THE SINGLES OFF DOWN THE ROAD I GO IN THE TOP 5 BILLBOARD COUNTRY CHARTS."MODERN DAY BONNIE AND CLYDE" AND "ITS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE" ARE THE STANDOUT CUTS,AND IF YOU LIKE BALLADS THE #1 HIT "BEST OF INTENTIONS" IS A MUST HEAR.I GIVE THIS ALBUM FIVE STARS.

4 out of 5 stars Travis Tritt - Down The Road I Go.......2003-05-14

Travis is back on form ! After a couple of mediocre albums, he's back with the kind of music he was born to sing.

Modern Day Bonnie And Clyde is a wonderful song about a man meeting a woman at a truck stop, they further along stop at a store that she robs and they both drive away with the money before getting caught at some motel by the police. If you ever see the video, Billy Bob Thornton and Gwyneth Paltrow play the role of the modern day Bonnie and Clyde.

Another great song, It's A Great Day To Be Alive must be a constant crowd-pleaser with Travis singing how he might get himself a new tattoo, take his Harley for a three-day cruise or even grow a fu-man-chu.

The only reason why I do not give this a 5 star rate is because of Best Of Intentions which is okay enough but does not match the delight of the other songs here on this album. Let's just hope he stays in this kind of music on his next albums.

5 out of 5 stars Lerner & Loewe Songbook.......2006-02-24

If you like Percy Faith's music, you'll like this one. He quit recording and died much too young. But while he lived, he recorded some great music.

5 out of 5 stars Wouldn't it be lovely?.......2005-09-26

This CD represents some of the best of Broadway done in a great pops style. There are five orchestral suites, one each for the following: 'Camelot', 'My Fair Lady', 'Gigi', 'Paint Your Wagon', and 'Bridgadoon'. They are all arranged for orchestra by Robert Russell Bennett, save that for 'Paint Your Wagon', which was arranged by Cincinnati Pops Orchestra director Erich Kunzel.

The works of Lerner and Loewe were a mainstay of Broadway for decades in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, but it was during the late 50s and early 60s that their true glory days took hold. The presidential term of John F. Kennedy gained the nickname 'Camelot' in part because of the influence of the Lerner and Loewe production going on at the start. The songs contained in these suites are instantly recognisable by many, as the Lerner and Loewe songs have become so well known that many know the songs better than the musicals or the composers from which they come. 'I Could Have Danced All Night' and 'Wouldn't It Be Lovely' come from 'My Fair Lady', 'Thank Heaven for Little Girls' from 'Gigi' - these are but the most of famous of the familiar tunes.

There are a lot of pieces here that the listener will appreciate, both in remembering old pieces or in learning new nuances to the tunes.

This particular disc by Telarc has a feature called 'Spatializer', which gives a three-dimensional quality to the sterophonic sound, enhancing regular players and working well with surround-sound systems, too. The Cincinnati Pops are expert at this kind of music, having produced dozens of CDs of popular music and modern composers of musicals, film music, and pops-oriented major compositions.

This is a fun disc to have.

5 out of 5 stars A Successful Sequel.......2005-08-03

This CD is a follow-up to the Rodgers & Hammerstein Songbook for Orchestra (1991) from the same team. It is a thoroughly successful sequel: I believe anyone who enjoyed the R&H will enjoy this one as well. If I am very slightly less enthusiastic about this one than the R&H, it's not because of any shortcoming of Kunzel, the Cincinnati Pops, or Telarc, all of whom are at the top of their form. Rather it's because Frederick Loewe, for all his undoubted expertise, is not quite in the same class as a composer with Richard Rodgers. But that's asking a lot, since Rodgers was the American musical theater's leading light. Lerner & Loewe's musicals were second only to R&H's during the golden age of the American musical, and their My Fair Lady is by any standard one of the best musicals ever staged. If Loewe did not create as many unforgettable numbers as Rodgers, he nevertheless wrote many delightful songs and much enjoyable music. This CD features five orchestral suites, ranging in length from 9 to 18 minutes (total playing time 68:06), from Brigadoon (1947), Paint Your Wagon (1951), My Fair Lady (1956), Gigi (film 1958; staged 1973), and Camelot (1960). The arrangements (all but one by Robert Russell Bennett) are expert. The performances are masterly (if perhaps lacking in just a tad of the infectious brio that the same team brought to R&H). And Telarc's robust sound (recorded 1993) would be hard to improve on. Warmly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Delightful Listening.......1998-12-05

Some of the nicest and nearly forgotten music (Paint your Wagon & Brigadoon) is nicely compiled here. It will make you want to listen to the full soundtracks again, but for a quick tour of Lerner & Lowe, it is very nice.

5 out of 5 stars Sinister, strong, dark and wierd.......2005-12-20

Jesus Lizard are simply not as others. David Yow's lyrics and vocal delivery are like listening to the paranoid ramblings of a deeply twisted, and sensitive person broken by this absurd, violent, yet humorous world. Like some kind of punk rock Charles Bukowski, he deals in psychic pain and character observation (or confusion) unlike few others. He doesn't wallow in self-serving despair, rather his angst and anger is primarily directed outward in a kind of celebration of the absurd. His screams and pained vocal delivery provide a huge contrast to the surgically precise, yet no less disturbed math-metal-punk of guitarist Duane Denison, drummer Mac McNeilly, and uber bassist David Wm. Sims. They proceed like some kind of unending bad dream that you don't want to wake up from, that you can't wake up from. Relentless and abrasive and dark, yet not without humor, Jesus Lizard's Down is a unique listen from one of the odder and truly alternative bands of the '90s. Also recommended: Head/Pure (their first EP and album in one CD), Liar, Goat, and Shot.

Some lyrics from "Din":

Get me up from this terrible place
Because it's dangerous down here
There are splinters and splinters
Flying like arrows around
I turn around to see one huge black tongue
That means to lick my very being
And the sun is about to set
On the head of my shadow
so get me the hell out of here
so get me the hell out of here

5 out of 5 stars waiting for the reunion tour.......2005-11-02

This is the best Jesus Lizard album, with its unique arrangements and stellar songwriting.
Or is it "Liar," with it's amped-up crunchiness?
Now that you mention it, "Goat" is pretty essential.
The singles/rarities collection "Bang" is also hard to beat.
"Head/Pure" might be more difficult to access until you're into them, but then you get even more of their best songs.
Heck, even "Shot" (despite being the "major label sellout post-Albini album") is most assuredly rocking.

5 out of 5 stars Down for me is Up.......2003-03-02

This album is probably my favorite JL album, even compared to Liar.
It's just crushing, and bass lines (like on 50 cents) just don't come around often enough. While i am glad to see bands such as the Dennison Kimbel Trio rise from the ashes, the Jesus lizard are just so seminal, and i think this album really captures why.

4 out of 5 stars Another jesus lizard CD,similiar to the rest, but still good.......2002-11-24

As the sonic maelstrom of "Fly on the Wall" is let loose, the understatement of the linear notes becomes painfully obvious. Jesus Lizard's deft musicianship, pummeling rhythms, and passionate howling vocals seem almost otherworldly in their intensity triggering a brutal assault on all fronts. To call "Down" simply an abrasive album wouldn't be giving it enough credit. This CD does not merely repel the senses like so many other "abrasive" recordings but instead launches a full-scale attack that continues at an unrelenting pace from beginning till end. Proving to be the true embodiment of noise rock itself, the individual member's talents easily rival those of legendary noise veterans. Recalling the heyday of Detroit's 1969 proto-punk acts, Dennison's riffs are as heavy as Wayne Kramer and as sloppy as Ron Asheton while David Yow's manic unintelligible rants are easily worthy of Iggy Pop himself. Holding down the bottom end, as always, is Jesus Lizard's first rate rhythm section with Mac McNeilly and David Wm. Sims literally beating every ounce of life out of their instruments. The band's veins course with aggression and power and with the help of Steve Albini's equally confrontational production work, Down proves to be a quite satisfying documentation of the band's raw energy. The only drawback to this CD would be that, although Jesus Lizard's sound is definitely as unique as it is massive, the actual songs tend to be very similar. In the grand scheme though, the repetitiveness of the individual songs tends to not really matter when coupled with the consistently striking overall sound and Down still remains a fairly strong effort. Although perhaps not as memorable as Liar or as innovative as the Head/Pure Eps, Down is another strong Jesus Lizard album, even if it is a largely repetative affair.

4 out of 5 stars Very good, but not their best.......2002-02-10

"Head" and "Liar" are tied for first regarding Jesus Lizard recordings. You cant really go wrong getting any of them, so whatever your mega cd store can carry, fear not and buy it. This one will put an odd look on the faces of old Lizard fans, though. Its very slick, methodical, and muted somewhat. "Misletoe" is a ragged, jangled rant that ranks with their best, heaven knows what its about, but who really cares when its up loud? "Countless Backs of Sad Losers". from what I can tell, is either David Yow's attempt at a political statement, or about the way things are because of the travails of ruthless alpha males, or maybe Im just an idiot and should refrain from interpretation, especially of someone who is as obtuse and cryptic as Yow is. "50c" is what David Yow would pay your mother to screw the band...those are my favorites, the cd drags a bit at the end, but all in all, this is good money spent if you cant get any of the early ones.

I have the CD at home and the songs sound fabulous. I've heard the Houston Symphony's version of the Star Spangled Banner many times on TV as this anthem has been used at sign-off (when this was happening). It's as powerful a version you'll hear. Probably the finest patriotic music CD you can find out there.

Loved the CD! I am buying it to use with a Musical Freestyle Ride for a Quadrille. A horse oriented endeaver. The music will be perfect to bring positive patriotism to fairs and fund raisers for NYC.

5 out of 5 stars "You Sang Far Better Than You Knew".......2006-12-22

In the notes that accompany this glorious CD of African-American a capella sacred music, The poet James Weldon Johnson is quoted on black slave singers, "You sang far better than you knew," a perfect epigraph for this abundantly rich offering. My favorite cut on this CD is "Lord I Want To Be a Christian." The tenor solo of Neal Rogers will take you away somewhere into the third heaven. Other favorites-- although there are no mediocre selections here-- are "Steal Away" and all the songs included in Number 6, the medley that begins with "Where the Sun Will Never Go Down."

Joseph Jennings, Music Director for Chanticleer/Arranger/Countertenor and Native Son of Georgia dedicates "these songs of hope to all who live with disease, terror, injustice and oppression."

Amen.

5 out of 5 stars Chanticleer is amazing!.......2005-03-21

I'm not under 13, but since i never buy anything from online I didn't want to register.
But anyway. I'm 16 and last year at my school, Chanticleer came and performed a 40 minute concert!
This group of 12 is filled with very talented men. They sing very old music that few other artists would perform. Their finished products are spectacular. The blend of bass, soprano, and alto that you hear is exactly what you expect from an acapella group. If you buy their CD make sure you also get a chance to see them live. The echo of their voices is beautiful!
-Nina, SF, CA

5 out of 5 stars Hooray for Acapella Music!.......2004-10-07

With so many artist who can't sing, sampled music and lyrics you can't understand, enter Chanticleer. Their tone, pitch and diction is a joy to behold. You can actually understand the lyrics to every song. This is the album that these trained muscians learned by rote. Learning music by rote is very difficult and tedious for trained musicians but the results are well worth it. New life is breathed into these old standard hymns and spirituals. The harmonies are well constructed, modern and very tight. They are flawless.

Listening to these masters of music sing acapella is so refreshing. It gives you a chance to hear the richness of each voice and the way each voice blends with the next. Key changes are very difficult without instruments but Chanticleer has mastered this art. Musical director Joseph Jennings is very demanding and he requires perfection. Very few things are perfect in this world but Chanticleer comes as close as you can get.

The male sopranos are of particular interest because while they do not have a feminine quality to their voices, they reach very high notes without screeching. Think of this music as a warm snuggly blanket for the ears on a cold and frosty night.

My words are inadequate here. All I can advise is that you try listening to this album for yourself. You will wonder why you never heard of them (if you haven't) and find yourself buying one album after another. Enjoy!!!

5 out of 5 stars Fabulously Moving!.......2000-09-08

I recently heard a review of a Chantacleer CD on NPR and decided then and there that I had to have some of their music. I love the unaccompanied voices! And this CD is absolutely heavensent! The rich, pure vocals will give you goosebumps. I'm not much for "church music outside of church", but I'm so glad I bought this CD. Don't pass this one up!

4 out of 5 stars Sophisticated Spirituals & Gospel.......2000-06-29

This recording has Chanticleer's usual wide range of styles and moods. It also meets their usual impeccable standards for intonation, vocal precision, diction, tone quality and virtuosity.

There are pieces in the traditional "high spiritual style" of "Deep River" with its rich, dark sonorities, "Steal Away to Jesus" with its hushed longing, and the incredibly controlled, restrained and meltingly beautiful "We Shall Walk Through the Valley in Peace." There are also emotional, toe-tapping pieces like "Ole Time Religion" and "All Night, All Day".

The sheer, irrepressible joy of "Twelve Gates" has me hitting the replay button at least once.

I find the pieces that are in the style of upbeat Gospel a bit less satisfying than the traditionally styled ones, but they are still fun and quite enjoyable. Also the sequence of some of the pieces doesn't sit well with me: the contrasts are sometimes too strong.

For the individual pieces however, it is a fine recoding. It encompasses the range of spirituals and Gospel music with a breadth and depth that few, if any, ensembles can match.
