Product Description
GREY GARDENS proclaimed the #1 Show of the Year by Time Magazine is preserved here in its Original Broadway Cast Recording. The show had been previously recorded following its off-Broadway premiere in the spring of 2006 (and its cast album released by PS Classics in August of 2006), but this new recording features the new songs and new cast members that were added for its Broadway transfer last fall. The new GREY GARDENS opened on Broadway on November 2, 2006, to rave reviews, led by Ben Brantley in The New York Times, who called it an experience no passionate theatergoer should miss! Starring Tony Award winner Christine Ebersole and Tony Award nominee Mary Louise Wilson, it subsequently appeared on over 25 Best of 2006 lists, including #1 Show of the Year (Time), Best Musical of the Year (USA Today, Entertainment Weekly) and Performance of the Year (The New York Times, New York) for Ms. Ebersole. In addition to the new songs and new performances, this Original Broadway Cast Recording also features an all-new 32-page full-color booklet complete with lyrics and Broadway production photos.Amazon.com
Based on the Maysles brothers' cult 1975 documentary of the same name, this musical is an endearing-and sometimes genuinely heartwrenching-oddity propelled by Christine Ebersole's exceptional, for-the-history-books performance. The movie followed the kooky duo of Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, Little Edie Beale, as they lived with their 52 cats in a derelict East Hampton mansion. The show's first act, set in 1941, is a prologue of sorts, while the second act, set in 1973, follows the movie closely. Ebersole plays Edith in Act I (which she concludes in dazzling manner with "Will You?") and Little Edie in Act II (when Mary Louise Wilson comes in to play the mother). And while Wilson is superb, this is Ebersole's show. Technically, she is flawless-just listen to the way she changes her voice between the acts-but she also makes Little Edie a poignant eccentric, a lost soul stuck in a world of deluded, decaying grandeur. It all peaks in the poignant "Around the World," the show's best song and an Ebersole tour de force. Note that this recording documents the Off-Broadway production; the show transferred to Broadway in the fall of 2006 with a slightly altered first act. --Elisabeth VincentelliCustomer Reviews:

When you think of Henry Mancini, you inevitably think of either "Peter Gunn" or "Moon River." (Well, maybe "The Pink Panther"--but that became a cartoon show, so it doesn't count!) Breakfast at Tiffany's gave the world the latter tune, and that beautiful melody recurs throughout this soundtrack LP, which remained No. 1 on the Billboard pop charts for 12 weeks in 1961. (Music for Peter Gunn in 1959 was Mancini's only other No. 1 album.) The soundtrack doesn't include Andy Williams's hit single of "Moon River," but then neither did the film. It does, however, take you through the many moods of the film (and the exploits of Miss Holly Golightly), with an emphasis on Latin influences in the forms of "Latin Golightly" and "Moon River Cha Cha." Nevertheless, one common complaint has been that RCA could've remastered the music and added additional tracks to flesh out the CD. Maybe in the future... --Bill HoldshipCustomer Reviews:
Best soundtrack I've heard, especially if you like 1950's swing and jazz.......2007-05-04
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO MY "SAKE PARTY" (Please RSVP).......2006-08-27
Back in the mid-1980s, I had an idea for a "theme party" I wanted to throw. Unfortunately, life (lower case L) obstructed my plan and I never got around to it. {*Truth is, he never managed to save up enough money to buy friends to invite.*} But I did record four 90-minute cassette tapes of background music for the party that never was. (Remember, this was before recordable CDs and all the other technocrap.) Oh, the music would have been great: Booker T And The MGs; Three Dog Night; Bobby Darin; Stevie Wonder; Muddy Waters; The Partridge Family; War; and Wild Cherry (guess which Funky song, White Boy!) But each side of every tape ended with MR. YUNIOSHI, the theme song for Mickey Rooney's angry Japanese character in the movie, Breakfast At Tiffany's. MR. YUNIOSHI was to be the cue for me - wherever I was mixing, or whoever I was mixing it up with - to prepare to turn over the tape.
I may throw this party yet...someday. The house is going to be jammed - floor to ceiling - with helium-filled balloons, so as you push your way through them, you'll never know who or what you're about to run into. {*Fun, eh? If you're smart, you'll have a prior engagement.*} Hey, never mind that voice behind the curtain - it IS going to be fun! But there is one thing that every person at this party will have in common: Regardless of who ends up kissing whom, or who ends up punching whom, or regardless of For Whom The Bell Tolls {*Sounds like it's going to be an exhausting evening for Whom! I hope he or she is up to it.*}, each and every person will have knocked back a slug of SAKE as a prerequisite for gaining admittance to this soiree.
SAKE (pronounced "Sock-ee"), in case you don't know, is the traditional fermented Japanese beverage made from rice. It's served hot in small ceramic cups. Being hot, it seems to assimilate in a person's bloodstream fairly quickly and makes one feel real good, real fast. For many, it's an "acquired taste", although I took to it immediately. {*He's an alky; he took to all booze before he took to the bus for elementary school.*} I have two nice sake sets that I purchased ages ago in Chinatown, near downtown Los Angeles, and you'll need to suck a shot of sake before you're permitted to enter my pagoda to hear MR. YUNIOSHI. {*And burst his bubble and pop his balloons!*}
But MR. YUNIOSHI is far from being the only track I like from Henry Mancini's BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S soundtrack. I've seen the movie a couple of times and I'm just not one of its fans. But the music, now that's another thing! BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (the film) won none of the 1961 Academy Awards, but the Oscars for "Best Music Score" and "Best Song" (Moon River) went to Mr. Mancini. What does that tell you? {*Think, McFly! Think!*} This entire album is delicious; it's one of my 25 most frequently played compact discs!
It starts with the award-winning bittersweet song, MOON RIVER, written by Mancini and the equally legendary Johnny Mercer. I love the song even if my favorite version was recorded later by Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong. This is the only "song", literally speaking, as it contains lyrics sung by Mancini's Chorus. All other tracks are instrumentals unless you're counting the Chorus singing "Oohs" and "Ahhs" on a couple of the other cuts.
Some of the instrumental pieces have that unmistakable "Mancini" stamp: Distinctively pronounced beats (a la "The Pink Panther"). Others are the antithesis of that style, with a tremendously yearning emotional content conveyed through the subtle interplay of his impeccable Orchestra and the smooth harmonic layering of his Chorus of male and female voices doing little more than humming the melodies.
And yet again, on some pieces, Mancini's charts propel his dynamic, top-notch Orchestra into bright, soaring flights that seem almost on the verge of running off the pages and into improvisational exuberance. {*Don'tcha just love how he nearly sounds like he knows what he's talking about?*} I mean, listen to that Orchestra crank it up on THE BIG BLOW OUT, or SOMETHING FOR CAT, or LOOSE CABOOSE - Mancini directed highly accomplished musicians as befitting a man of his genius. And I never use the word "genius" lightly, but this man was indeed just that! How he was able to translate the action of a scene into corresponding "music pictures" in pieces like THE BIG HEIST and the playful striptease-cum-cartoon, HUB CAPS AND TAIL LIGHTS! {*Some would say, if you've got `em, flaunt `em.*}
But nothing moves me more than SALLY'S TOMATO, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S, and HOLLY - three instrumentals that float like some tear-drenched, melancholic sunbeam. They were recorded at the dawn of the 1960s, just before all hell broke loose in this country and we found ourselves embroiled in a cultural revolution that pierced an ineffable something deep within us and from which we'll never recover. There's a desperate "looking back at innocence" captured in these three pieces that crushes my heart and forces my eyelids closed. It's a memory of joy that's gone and not returning. It's gently swaying grass growing around the headstone of a deceased lover. {*Aw, cap it, will ya? Yer bumming everyone out.*}
Alright then. Let me just say that this soundtrack is Five Star from top to bottom, and in short {*It's too late for THAT!*}, there are two things that I really recommend you do: You should acquire a copy of Henry Mancini's musical masterpiece right here and now, and later you should come to my SAKE PARTY. {*If you pass out, and you're still there in the morning, he's gonna treat you to BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S!*}
Capote.......2006-05-23
And, perhaps as much or more, the crucial function Henry Mancini had to fulfill in creating this memorable music. The exact music in the movie itself is a little different than what you'll find in this album, but that is actually a good thing.
This album combines aspiration, ambition, sophistication and pretense into a really irresistable brew. Hepburn's performance made us love her.
But Mancini won an Oscar, too. Let's reflect on exactly how and why that happened...
It Still Resonates in Our Hearts.......2006-03-03
Oh it's good..........2005-11-23
"Moon River Cha Cha" describes a typical cocktail party and it's good!
This soundtrack does NOT dissapoint and in my opinion is timeless, I mean it *is* Henry Mancini...

Customer Reviews:
Music that brings back the Joyfull Memories of this Unforgettable Woman.......2007-01-27
In 1993, a few months after Hepburn's death, this lovely CD was released with great themes and music pieces from Hepburn's films. Although it is sad that none of her own singing from the film "Funny Face" is included, you still get the grand luxury of hearing Hepburn's voice on this music collection at the last track.
This music is connected to Hepburn. And when you listen to it, you can see her in front of you, bringing back the memories of those fine moments watching her on the screen.
Now let's see what every track brings:
1. Breakfast at Tiffany's: Moon River - Henry Mancini --- The perfect way to start this CD. This beautiful theme from the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is pure magic. When you hear the tones you can immediately see Hepburn standing on that empty New York street, wearing that lovely black dress while she is gazing into the windows of the jewellery store Tiffany & CO.
This theme gives shivers down my spine and remains one of the most beautiful themes ever written.
Length: (2:40)
2. Charade: Main title - Henry Mancini --- Charade is a movie that was introduced to people in previews and trailers back in 1963 as a mix of Suspense, Romance and Comedy. When you hear this great theme by Mancini you can hear those three ingredients clearly. The fear the main character has, the love she encounters and of course the fun.
Length: (2:07)
3. My Fair lady: Overture - Frederick Loewe --- My Fair Lady is one of the most enchanting and successful musicals ever made. And as we all know, music is very important in a musical. It is a character itself. This overture of the film is a mix of different songs and themes from the film and is heard at the very beginning. This overture includes music of the melody of the song "You did it", the melody of the romantic song "On the Street where you live" and the melody of the song "I could have danced all night".
Length: (3:23)
4. Funny Face: He loves, She loves - Sung by Fred Astaire --- Funny Face, released in 1956 was Audrey's first musical film. The weird thing is that this song is included on the CD and not a song where Audrey's own singing talent is heard (which is in a lot of songs in the film). Anyways, Fred Astaire is a great singer and gives this song a great fifties atmosphere. The atmosphere of the film is clearly present in this song.
Length: (4:59)
5. The Nun's Story: Main Title - Franz Waxman --- The Nun's Story was one of Hepburn's most serious films. A powerful story about a woman who becomes a nun but has difficulty following her obligations even though she tries very hard to do so. The film had a sad and sometimes even dark atmosphere because of the inner struggle the main character had. This title theme gives the atmosphere of the film, the difficulty the character has. You hear the sad atmosphere, but also the love the character has within her heart. A dramatic and powerful theme, beautiful to listen too. Gives me shivers down my spine
Length: (2:37)
6. Wait Until Dark: Theme for Three - Henry Mancini --- Now another one of Hepburn's most serious films. A kind of Horror Thriller where she plays a blind woman who gets terrorised by three men who are searching for a doll stuffed with heroin which they believe is hidden in her house somewhere. The film had a very creepy atmosphere and is considered the scariest film Hepburn has ever made. The character is completely alone in the dark while she has to find her way to safety and help. This creepy theme by Mancini reflects the atmosphere of the film and shows how frightened Hepburn's character was.
Length: (2:43)
7. How To Steal a Million: Main Title - John Williams --- One of my personal favourites. A fun and happy adventure this film is. The great chemistry between Hepburn and Peter O'Toole is grand in the film and this great great great theme by John Williams brings such a happy feeling. It is a lively and adventurous theme and reflects the fun of the film and the great adventure of love and happiness the characters are experiencing in the film. Fantastic music! My only complain is that it is too bad that this is the shortest track on the CD.
Length: (1:47)
8. Robin and Marian: John Bursts In/The End - John Barry --- Robin and Marian brought Hepburn back to the big screen after she left the movie business to raise her children (what a wonderful heart that woman had). The film itself is a romantic drama that has a kind of sad atmosphere. Robin and Marian are not that in love with each other anymore and the flame of their relationship is being softly blown out by the wind. This piece of music, which is played at the end, gives the main theme of the film and the music at the last scene. If you have seen the film, you know what happens. If you haven't, then I won't spoil it for you, but the music speaks for itself. Beautiful theme by John Barry.
Length: (4:35)
9. Two For the Road: Main Theme - Instrumental - Henry Mancini --- Another theme from the great Henry Mancini. The man just kept coming with great themes. This is one of the most beautiful themes I ever heard in a film. It also gets stuck in your head. This theme shows the relation between a married couple whose marriage is weakening. It is tender, emotional and beautiful. One of the greatest tracks on this CD. Simply magnificent.
Length: (2:41)
10. Paris When It Sizzles: Gabrielle - Nelson Riddle --- Another one of those fun romantic comedy films of Audrey Hepburn was Paris When It Sizzles. This relaxing theme is played at the very beginning of the film, when Hepburn's Character Gabrielle arrives at her destination in Paris and the titles are rolling over the screen. True sixties music that is nice and once again, relaxing. Just sit back in that nice big chair with a nice drink in your hand and listen. Relaxing indeed.
Length: (2:46)
11. Moon River - Sung by Audrey Hepburn --- And the great final they have kept to the very end of the CD. The song Moon River sung by Hepburn herself. Hearing the screen legend's singing voice is an absolute joy. Her voice in combination with the beautiful theme of Mancini gives a thrilling musical experience and makes this track the one that is closest connected to Hepburn.
Length: (2:01)
There is a kind of small mini poster from about 24 cm by 24 cm included. This little poster includes a few nice small black and white photos of Audrey in the films. There is also a small picture of a letter Audrey wrote to Henry Mancini, in which she tells him what a great job he has done on the soundtrack of Breakfast of Tiffany's, which is nice to read and cool that it is included between the pictures. There is also an introduction to the CD by Henri Mancini, who tells about his music in the movies and how he got inspired by the lovely Hepburn.
This CD is full with music that gives you the feeling that Hepburn is right with you in the room. The atmosphere this music brings is close to the atmosphere Hepburn brought to the screen. Just listen to this CD, close you eyes, and you will see that lovely Audrey smile in front of you once more. And believe it or not, you will smile only seconds after seeing that lovely sight with this music playing into your ears.
Mancini at His Best.......2006-08-10
Well-intentioned but a disappointment.......2005-05-20
Awesome!!!!.......2002-06-11
In loving Memory of Audrey Hepburn..........2000-11-19
With these sound tracks, I can listen to Audrey while driving, in the comfort of an easy chair,lazing in bed and retrospect with it as background. What so great about this CD was that it helped me to visualise those scenes and magical moments from their respective movies. The saddness of "Nun Story" to the upbeat melody from "My Fair Lady". Audrey's Classic movies deserved to be remembered and this CD stored the spirits of them. My only complain is it should be a full extensive movie soundtracks of all of Audrey's films.
All in all this's as good as I can get. I will cherish it. In loving memory of Audrey Hepburn... She was kind,graceful,charismatic,classy,talented,charming,and with a heart of gold. She was a great asset to the film industry She'll be remembered forever.

New Jersey's Grey Eye Glances began their career rooted in '70s folkie-prog of U.K. bands like Fairport Convention and Renaissance. But they were also informed by a raft of evolving alt-pop and subtle country influences that bubbled to the surface on Painted Pictures and Eventide, drawing favorable comparisons to 10,000 Maniacs in the bargain. Voodoo finds those sensibilities blossoming (burnished by a lineup of producers that includes Jerry Marotta, Paul Bryan, and the band itself) into a full-bodied sound that ably demonstrates how thoroughly the alt consciousness has become mainstream.The occasionally precious melodic sense of previous albums gets a tougher edge on "The One" and is downright muscular on tracks like "Close You Eyes" and "Keep On." That bigger-is-better gambit has pushed vocalist Jennifer Noble (often compared to Natalie Merchant, but with a commanding sense of vocal drama here that recalls Aimee Mann as well) to good effect, encompassing the spare, haunting melancholy of "Good Folks" and "Even," the rhythmic pop of "Oh No," and even some surprisingly straightforward rock turns. It's this last sensibility--exemplified by the riff-heavy guitar assault of "He and She" and Noble's sweet and gritty way with a pop hook--that may take Grey Eye fans by surprise. Voodoo's expansive production and harder edges may be a long way from the band's coffeehouse roots, but it's a compelling argument for their restless ambition. --Jerry McCulley

Beautiful.......2005-01-13
This is music for couples, played loudly winding down the coastal highways. It's hard for me to choose one tune as THE standout track. It flows along seemlessly, which is hard to believe since three different producers pieced this together; Jerry Marotta, T-Bone Wolk and Brett Kull.
Kulls guitar gets its moments to shine but he plays within the context of the tune. Ramsey's drum work is solid with the less then stressful stuff he played with Echolyn. Dwayne Keith's keyboard work is more ambient and fills the backgrounds nicely. Eric O'Dell lays down some nice bass work that enhances the tunes and keeps them moving.
Obviously GEG is looking for the limelight, and why shouldn't they? Is writing smart thoughtful tunes, even in a pop setting, wrong? Not at all. Buy it, even if it's not prog. Your wife or girlfriend will like you better for it.
You will love this!.......2004-04-09

Fantastic Don Giovanni.......2006-02-14
Gone.......2005-11-06
Anyway, if this ever turns up again, or if you spot it in a cutout bin at some backwater shop grab it.
Great performance at a bargain price.......2004-03-09
This is a justly famous recording of what must have been a fabulous ensemble on the Glyndebourne stage. For my money, the youthful Salvatore Baccaloni is the finest Leporello on disc. And Louise Helletsgruber, that best of Cherubinos, is very good as Donna Elvira. John Brownlee is the smoothest and most seductive among the handfull of truly great Don Giovannis.
A word for this production.......2003-02-19
A highly-rated and universally admired classic recording........2001-08-15
Keith Anderson, in the accompanying notes, provides an explanation for the greatness of the Mozart opera productions that opened the Glyndbourne opera house in the 1930s. They were strong ensemble productions. The conductor was Fritz Busch. The producer was Carl Ebert. Rudolf Bing became involved also in 1936.
As has frequently happened in subsequent productions, the cast of singers is drawn from many countries - almost as many as Leporello mentions in his catalogue aria. The don is an Australian, Leporello an Italian, Anna an American, Elvira an Austrian, Zerlina is English, Ottavio is Hungarian, and Masetto is Scottish. Outstanding amongst them is Salvatore Baccaloni as Leporello. He encompasses the vocal part with ease, he colours his voice with skill, and he delivers the recitatives at a spanking pace. John Brownlee is noticeably slower in the latter requirement. His singing always has the stamp of the aristocrat, suggesting a don destined for life-long partnership with a Spanish infanta rather than a don responsible for a catalogue of seductions. Ina Souez, powerful of voice and well in command of her difficult music, suggests a donna well able to defend herself from molestation, with or without the aid of Don Ottavio. Kolomon von Pataky sings eloquently throughout. Although the conductor favours fast tempi generally, Ottavio's two arias are taken slowly, preventing Pataky from attempting the "all in one breath" feats that many tenors achieve in these arias. Roy Henderson brings a few welcome touches of characterisation to the minor part of Masetto.
It is of course in the ensembles and the Act One finale that the opera's greatest sequences occur. Happily, these sections are wonderfully well-realised in this production. Indeed, the sense of ensemble and company interaction is perhaps the greatest strength of this classic recording.
As an appendix, Naxos provides excerpts from "Don Giovanni" performed by what they call "golden age singers" - including Chaliapin, Leider, Tauber, Pinza, and Elisabeth Schumann - in recordings made between 1926 and 1939.
