Burt Bacharach
Rhino / Wea, 1998
Superb historical box set
This is not a "greatest hits" set, though many of Bacharach's greatest hits are contained here. Rather, it's a fascinating historical view of the progression of the songwriter(s) through four decades. It is truly instructive to listen to some of the less well-known ...

Live at the Sydney Opera House
Burt Bacharach
Verve, 2008
Burt Bacharach Live @ The Sydney Opera House Released Just In Time For The Holidays, Fun all Year Around
Burt Bacharach has a way of lighting up a room.

Back to Bacharach
Steve Tyrell
Koch Records, 2008

An Inspired Collaboration
With a reputation so rooted in the turtle-necked, nicotine-infused lounge lizardry of Hal David, Dionne Warwick and the zero consequence hedonism of Southern California affluence - the prospect of a Burt Bacharach tag-team with the much rougher and far more tumbled ...

Burt Bacharach

THE MUSIC HOLDS UP...
I bought this soundtrack in LP/analog format when the movie premiered, and listening to it now on CD, I'm reminded why Burt Bacharach has been such a successful composer. The music is rich and fabulous.

One of the best compilations from the trumpet master
I grew up on Herb Alpert music, and its been years since I last heard him play. More recently I purchased a more modern compilation of his work, which then roused more interest. This work - Definitive Hits -is unique in that you can track the change and maturity of the ...
