popular music: Betty Comden     popular music:     Betty Comden      Wonderful Town (2003 Broadway Revival Cast) Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden, ... Drg, 2004 Really Good, But... This may be the prime example of how a live performance transcends any recorded experience. I have read all the rave reviews of Donna Murphy's performance and trust people's judgment: she must have been wonderful in person. In this recording, however, she struggles ...             On the Town Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden, ... Sony, 1998 For Broadway, there's none better! Truly Broadway's best! From the composition to the orchestration to the performances...this recording is an exceptional tribute to the fact that "they don't make 'em like that anymore!" This might be the perfect Broadway musical...or arguably in the top 5! Teach ...             Say, Darling (1958 Original Broadway Cast) Jule Styne, Betty Comden & Adolph Green, ... DRG Records, 2008 "THE MUSICAL THAT CHANGED THE WAY BROADWAY SOUNDED" 'Here, after fifty years, is the CD debut of SAY. DARLING, the musical that changed the way Broadway sounded. That's quite a claim, and only half-seriously made; but this unassuming "comedy about a musical" did, in fact, directly bring about the revolution in ...             Wonderful Town (Original 1953 Broadway Cast) Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden, ... Decca U.S., 2001 a must-have recording for REAL Broadway fans This marvellous new re-issue of WONDERFUL TOWN is a must-have for Broadway buffs. In fact, this is really two albums in one, as it also contains the rare 1945 studio recording of ON THE TOWN as a bonus! The story is based on the play "My Sister Eileen", written by ...             Fade Out Fade In (1964 Original Broadway Cast) Jule Styne, Betty Comden, ... Decca U.S., 2003 AT LAST! FADE OUT-FADE IN is the most-requested cast-album in the Decca catalogue. Finally, after years and years of legal problems and copyright issues, it has finally been released!...and it has been well worth the wait. Carol Burnett stars as aspiring movie actress Hope ...             Follies in Concert (1985 Live Performance) + Stavisky Film Score Stephen Sondheim, Jacques Mercier, ... RCA Victor Broadway, 1990 FOLLIES - the best recording ...so far If any one album makes a case for FOLLIES is is this set of FOLLIES IN CONCERT. It is not the definitive FOLLIES, but about as close as we're likely to get. The sound is very VERY good, especially for a live recording, but as such there is quite a bit of applause on ...             On The Twentieth Century (1978 Original Broadway Cast) Cy Coleman, John Cullum, ... Sony, 1991 A delightful musical comedy romp! What a hysterical show! When you take the zany zing of Betty Comden and Adolph Green, the wonderful music of Cy Coleman and the antics of John Cullum, Kevin Kline, Madelaine Kahn and Immogene Coca, you're bound to have a delightfully funny romp, and indeed On the ...             The Will Rogers Follies: A Life In Revue (1991 Original Broadway Cast) Cy Coleman, Betty Comden, ... Sony, 1991 Will Rogers Follies on CD This CD was very enjoyable. The songs were fun. I recomend it to anyone who enjoys broadway musicals.             A Total Embrace: The Composer Leonard Bernstein, "On The Town" Orchestra, ... Sony, 2003             Bells Are Ringing (1956 Original Broadway Cast) Jule Styne, Betty Comden, ... Sony, 2001 It rings my bells! Not as smooth as the soundtrack in recording or casting, yet with a much more spontaneous feel. Not that there are any flaws in the casting, and it is not overproduced in the way I find the soundtrack to be. This is the one to have if you want this musical.             Do Re Mi (1999 Broadway Revival Cast) Jule Styne, Betty Comden, ... Drg, 1999 Dated, but still a good buy It took me a while to warm up to this album, as much of the score and the dialogue is very dated, if not downright corny. "The Late, Late Show" is a case in point. This bit of fluff was obviously intended to showcase Phil Silver's talent as a mimic, but many of the ...             Wonderful Town (Original Broadway Cast) Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden, ... Mca Special Products, 1998 What a find! Early Bernstein, Rosalind Russell sings, what could be better? This wonderful classic '50's musical is based on the book "My Sister Eileen," one of the funniest books to come along -- even now. I consider myself fortunate to have seen the original cast of WT, have ...             Hallelujah, Baby! (1967 Original Broadway Cast) Jule Styne, Betty Comden, ... Sony, 1992 Great, forgotten score I have just listened to this CD twice without a break. I had forgotten how good it is. Basically the story focuses on three people who do not age through the 20th Century. Through this concept, they aim to tell the Civil Rights story, from 1900 to the late 1960s. I ...             Bells Are Ringing (1960 Film Soundtrack) Adolph Green, Jule Styne, ... Drg, 2002 It's a charmer; for the second time on CD The CD is a charmer, but contrary to the advertising, the 1960 "Bells Are Ringing" soundtrack has been on CD before, back in 1989. The CD version sounded great then, and it sounds great now. Lushly orchestrated film versions of Broadway shows usually sound swell on CD, ...             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.
