Sparrow, 2003             Two for the Road: The Music of Henry Mancini John Patitucci, Henry Mancini, ... Grp Records, 1997 "Fresh, Interesting and Successful Music!" I remember collecting Mancini on vinyl when I was a kid. The phrase above was on one of the album covers. I see Henry Mancini, in hindsight, as a classic example of how talent is consumer voraciously by the entertainment business. He enjoyed his success, to be ...             The Greatest Ragtime of the Century Eubie Blake, Jimmy / Clark, Charles Blythe, ... Shout Factory, 2003 Awesome to hear the old masters almost live. It was an awesome experience to hear Ragtime and early blues played by the masters themselves. When you hear the music from their own hands, if not their own pianos, it makes the music immediate, and makes even clearer the stylistic differences of the various American ...             Christmas Adagios Gerald Finley, Adolphe Adam, ... Decca, 2001 One of my very top 5 favorite holiday albums! What a delightful surprise this 2 disc album was and I'm not a big fan of Christmas music. I loved all the selections and felt they were well performed. This is a true "must have" for any Christmas collection. Superior to many other compliations on the market. This ...             City of Angels (1990 Original Broadway Cast) Cy Coleman, David Zippel, ... Sony, 1990 Cleverness personified A duet between an author and the character he created, each claiming "you're nothing without me," is just one example of how sharp, witty and clever show is, with an unusual score, jazzy and bluesy and very 1940s, and some of the best lyrics I know.             #1 Christmas Album Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, ... Decca, 2001 Touch of angle, touch of heart If you enjoy opera or choir, this is a must collection. The Choir of King's College probably knows the secret how to make the listener flying among thousands of Christmas candles. Pavarotti's opening is so mighty that remind people, this year, to be courageous and to ...             Tchaikovsky - Matthew Bourne's Nutcracker! / Matthew Bourne, Anthony Ward Scott Ambler, Emily Piercy Kultur Video, 2005 THIS IS THE MATHEW BOURNE VIDEO TO BUY! STUNNING! Mathew Bourne's choreography for Nutcracker is simply amazing! I'd recommend this video to all dancers, whether they're rolling on the floor modern dancers or pointe-show wearing ballerinas. His living room scene drags a bit, but I've yet to see a Nutcracker ...             The Spirit of America Daniel Rodriguez Manhattan Records, 2002 The Spirit will move you I first heard him sing at a family funeral. His rendition of Ave Maria was so hauntingly beautiful that even people who were not already crying had tears in their eyes at the completion. This CD is excellent. Best version of "Danny Boy" I have ever heard. "The Lord's ...             Glenn Gould - On & Off the Record Glenn Gould, Franz Kraemer Image Entertainment, 2004 portrait of a genius In two 29 minute documentaries for Canadian TV, we get a rare look at the life of Glenn Gould (1932-82), filmed in 1959, both in New York City and in his home in Uptergrove, which is 90 miles north of Toronto.

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.

When my partner and I saw Lea perform her routine in P-town, she wowed us with a stunning version of one of my all-time favorites, "The Ballad of Sweeny Todd." We bought her CD on the spot and it stayed in my car's CD player for weeks on end ...             Greatest Christmas Show on Earth Richard Suart, Adolphe Adam, ... Polygram Records, 1998 The greatest voices on Earth What better way to open "The Greatest Christmas Show on Earth" than with Luciano Pavarotti ringing in "Adeste Fideles" with Kurt Adler and the National Philharmonic Orchestra. No expense has been spared on what has become Pavarotti's signature Christmas carol. He ...             Haydn Masses - Nelsonmesse ~ Harmoniemesse ~ Paukenmesse ~ Kleine Orgelmesse Tom Krause, Barry McDaniel, ... Decca, 1997 Glorious masterpieces, glorious recordings... Deeply moving recordings of Haydn's awesome choral masterpieces. The conducting and singing are both impeccable and powerful, and London's acoustics are great. The soprano in the Nelson mass sings like an angel, and the organ shines through well. It was one of the ...             The Neglected Professor Irving Berlin, Eubie Blake, ... Delmark, 2000 Historic Ragtime Charles Thompson was a contemporary of Jelly Roll Morton and James P. Johnson, and was one of the leading figues of the second generation of St. Louis ragtime pianists.
