DRG 25th Anniversary Show Stopping Performances

Gerard Alessandrini, Irving Berlin, ...

Drg, 2001

Great compilation
I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does. The previous review is ...

Broadway - The American Musical (PBS Series)

Richard Adler, Peter Allen, ...

Sony, 2004

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover
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 ...

More Broadway's Greatest Love Songs

Decca Broadway, 2002

Outstanding Collection of Love Songs
I have to quickly disagree with those who are looking for more songs crammed in to what is such a breathtaking album of Broadway love songs. The rendition of the songs on this album and the Broadway singers selected for each piece, just are so beautifully recorded and ...

RCA Victor Broadway, 2001

Two words: Julia Murney
OK, so it sounds crazy to review an album with Ethel Merman and Bernadette Peters on it and not mention them. But...tough. I've read enough about them to know how good they are. Buy this album as a token of love to the producer who had the cajones to put Julia ...

Irving Berlin, Jerry Bock, ...

Drg, 2003

great singers, great songs
Some of broadway's best singers are on this album, including Brian Stokes Mitchell, Debbie Gravitte, Marin Mazzie, and Rebecca Luker. (The cd is worth buying for Rebecca Luker's song alone!) The songs are beautifully orchestrated and sung. Most are light hearted and ...

The Story So Far..

Stephen Sondheim

SONY CLASSICS, 2008

Enchanting, enthralling, entertaining: must have!
"If they asked me, I could write a book . . ." oops, wrong songwriter. But that's the way I feel about Sondheim. Back in 1971 a college pal took me to see "Company" in LA. Thus began my life-long love affair with Sondheim. I am proud to say I saw "Follies" in LA back ...

Philips, 2001

Patti Austin and Gregory Hines Are Brilliant
I own the Hollywood Bowl Gershwin CD and I love it. I was surprised by it. Play the samples if you can but the singing and sound are clear and crisp and you can understand every word.
