More Broadway's Greatest Love Songs

Benny / Ulvaeus, Bjorn / Anderson, Stig Andersson, Irving Berlin, ...

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 ...

Greatest Hits

John Barry, Irving Berlin, ...

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.

Sondheim - A Celebration at Carnegie Hall

Stephen Sondheim, Patti LuPone

RCA, 1993

The Master at work
Having only previously owned a VHS copy of this concert(a fast deteriorating one at that) what a pleasure it was to see it again on DVD in all it's digital splendor. This is surely one of the great concerts of our time, showcasing the genius that is Stephen Sondheim! ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Broadway Divas

Irving Berlin, John Harold Kander, ...

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 ...

Andrew Lloyd Webber: Now & Forever

Andrew Lloyd Webber, Anthony Bowles, ...

Decca Broadway, 2001

SUCH MAGICAL MUSIC OF THE NIGHT!
"Evita." "Sunset Blvd." "Starlight Express." "Jesus Christ Superstar." "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." "Requiem." "Aspects of Love." The man who is the most recognized composer in the history of the musical theatre, the man who has won more Tonys than ...
