Nancy Lamott

Midder Music, 1995

Cabaret Singing at Its Best
Although Nancy LaMott was burdened with a debilitating disease and an premature death, her musical phrasing and interpretation of a song is extraordinary. This CD along with rich orchestrations makes it a wonderful musical experience to the listener.

Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1

George Michael

Columbia/CBS/Sony BMG, 1990

Beyond what anyone would think possible.
After years of owning this album and never taking the time to really listen to it (due in no doubt to the stupid media problems and George's absense from the vids and the vids absense from Mtv) I rebought this on cd and after a listen straight through I came to several ...

Chris Brown's Journey

Chris Brown

Jive, 2006

A nice DVD
I am 12 and of course a Chris Brown fan. I liked this DVD it shows Chris just being himself. If you like Chris Brown and/or his music you will like this DVD. If you want to learn more about Chris this is the right DVD for you.

Dreamgirls

Harvey Jr. Mason, James Johnson, ...

Sony, 2006

DREAMGIRLS
Arrived in great condition and got it at a fraction of the cost. I have played it over and over and over and it sounds just like new each time.

Car Talk: Why You Should Never Listen to Your Father When It Comes to Cars

Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi

Highbridge Audio, 2002

Hilarious! Click-n-Clack on Cars, Dads & Families
If you have either a car, a Dad or a family, then you will love this show! "Click & Clack" are always great on NPR, and this tape/CD compiles some of their best calls & rants loosely arranged around the themse of cars, Dad's & families. It's wonderful way to spend 90 ...

The Holly and the Ivy: Carols from Clare College

Anonymous, Harold Darke, ...

Decca, 1990

Sure to Spread Some Joy
I have just recently started to explore the world of choral music and I am so glad to have purchased this CD. To use an old-fashioned term, it is truly delightful. The song 'Donkey Carol' is my favorite and it is sure to bring a smile to the face of even the most ...

A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

King's College Choir, Stephen Cleobury

EMI Classics, 1999

Truely inspirational!!!!
A holiday classic. It has been a tradtion in our family for years. This is the first time I've seen it available on CD. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

The Best Carols in the World...Ever!

Gareth Morrell, Simon Vaughan, ...

EMI Classics, 2005

Title makes a big claim, but it absolutely delivers...
This album provides 2.5 hours of excellent carols, from excellent choirs and soloists, and with great sound. I was worried that a compilation this large, and with such an extravagent title, would be B-side offerings, but that's not the case at all. This isn't an ...

Nick Jr. Baby Curious Buddies - Look and Listen at the Park

Curious Buddies

Nickelodeon, 2004

Wonderful for babies even older than 18 months!
This video says it is good for babies up to 18 months but my 22 month old girls cannot get enough of it. This is the only movie they will sit still and watch.

Urinetown (2001 Original Off-Broadway Cast)

John Cullum, Mark Hollmann, ...

RCA Victor Broadway, 2001

Urinetown soundtrack
I ordered this CD so my 2 high school kids could practice for their audition for this musical. It had enough dialogue that they could get a good feel for the show, and had all the songs. If you want the songs from this musical, this is the way to get them.

The Michael Feinstein Anthology

Tom Scott, Anne Karam, ...

Elektra / Wea, 2002

Your love for this superb collection will be here to stay...
The magnificently talented Michael Feinstein has made one wonderful album after another for nearly two decades. Now that Elektra and Rhino have put together this anthology, I am blown away by the versatility and diversity in Feinstein's recorded output. Such amazing ...

Listen, Listen: The Definitive Collection

The Merry-Go-Round

Rev-Ola, 2005

criminally underrated
Despite an appearance on the well-known NUGGETS box set, the Merry Go Round are quite unknown. Emitt Rhodes was an amazing songwriting and the classic 60s pop tunes on this CD are a great example. Any fans of the Beatles, the Byrds, or the Left Banke would be wise ...

F. Chopin - 24 Etudes for Piano Op.10 , Op 25

Valentina Lisitsa

Valal Productions, 2004

Valentina Lisitsa is one of the world's greatest pianists !
Valentina Lisitsa is in my view a comparatively undiscovered great pianist of our age. She has a growing - almost cult - following that can be seen on [...]. I have all three of her DVDs - the Chopin 24 Etudes, the Black and Pink, the 14 Schubert Songs transcribed ...

Listen to Your Heart

D.H.T.

Robbins Ent. Llc, 2005

WOW!
ok, so not many ppl have heard of DHT, but chances are you've heard their remake of "listen to your heart".. which is a pretty good song (and actually one of the main reasons i bought this cd) BUT, i can honestly say that, that song is my least fav on this disc now... ...

Sondheim - A Celebration at Carnegie Hall (1992 Concert Cast)

Stephen Sondheim, Betty Buckley, ...

RCA Victor Broadway, 1993

"Celebration" is not strong enough a word
This review is by Crosley. I have been a major Sondheim fan for quite some time, and I finally obtained a copy of this album. I was blown away by the excellent cast and phenomenal selection of music. It is obvious how much work went into this production, considering ...
