Well worth the price.......2006-04-13
Not Exactly "The Ultimate" Collection..........2004-12-23
In addition, while most of the music is very well performed, some of the vocalists either go a bit overboard or, at the very opposite end, seem to lack expression. For example, this Nanki-Poo (in The Mikado) seems to be overly occupied with vibrato. Katisha's voice is annoying, and The Mikado's low voice often seems to lack feeling and humor. The other idiosyncracies, like the very frightening evil laughing during "A More Humane Mikado" and hissing during "Three Little Maids" really bug me.
Then again, I'm new to Gilbert and Sullivan, and was introduced to the music through the Topsy Turvy soundtrack, which has a noticeably less operatic style, and hardly includes "stage noise"... so perhaps all this is the norm. Do listen to the tracks for yourself, though, before you purchase the CD. Personally, I find that the Topsy Turvy soundtrack, while considerably less ecompassing, is much lighthearted and easier listening.

Customer Reviews:
Great CD.......2006-08-06
Simply the Best.......2005-06-29
In a compilation of songs like this you're always going to have tracks that you prefer over others, but the majority of the renditions in this CD are great. This is simply one of the best collections of Sondheim out there. You get interpretations that span from "classical" (Green Finch), to bordering on insane (Anything Twice). This is to demonstrate how versatile this composer really is.
In my opinion, some of the best renditions are "Not a Day Goes By," "Anyone Can Whistle", "Girls Upstairs Medley," "Losing My Mind/Drive a Person Crazy," and "Weekend inthe Country." Makes me wish I had been there to witness it first hand.
If you love Sondheim and enjoy hearing Broadway performers, get this CD. A great recording.
Inconsistent, but mostly excellent.......2004-03-21
"Celebration" is not strong enough a word.......2003-04-30
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 that this is the live recording of a one time show, and it's flawless. The songs cover all of his shows with the exception of "Passion," which was released 3 years after this show. Also, the shows for which he wrote only lyrics are ommited, like West Side Story, Gypsy, etc. Thus, you can find material from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Anyone can Whistle, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Merrily we Roll Along, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, and Assassins.
There are two striking things about this CD (besides the music and performers themselves). First of all, some of the songs are completely stylistically reworked. The most obvious are "Good Thing Going" and "I Never do Anything Twice." Both are traditionally very ballady with a piano accompaniment, but here they have been redone as jazzy tunes. The result is excellent. Such reworkings demonstrate that Sondheim writes music for virtually any style, and in these cases, across several styles. It's a great example of his variety. The other interesting thing is how many songs have overlapping melodies of songs from different shows. Case in point, "Our Time" and "No one is Alone" are sung seperately by the Harlem Boys Choir and Betty Buckley (the original Grizabella in Webber's atrocious "CATS," although Buckley was excellent) respectively, and then combined. Putting these two songs together offer different meanings to each, and the music is only enhanced. Another example, the trio of "Waiting for the Girls Upstairs," "Love, I Hear," and "Live Alone and Like It" are sung in that order, and then the latter two are combined. Again, the meanings of the songs change, this time in an almost narrative style, and offering different takes on love in the same montage. Lastly (at least for this review, there are more), Dorothy Laudon's (the original Ms. Hannigan in Annie) combination of "Losing my Mind" and "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" is brilliant. Those who are familiar with these songs will wonder how exactly they fit, but trust me, they do. She swtiches back and forth between melodies to create a number that starts poignant and beautiful, and soon moves to become uproariously funny. Both the song reworkings and overlapping melodies of unrelated songs are all for the better.
I recommend this recording to anyone wanting to get better acquainted with some of Sondheim's best work, or those already familiar who want to hear a tour de force of phenomenal music. It has been said that Sondheim is a masterful lyricist (which he is), but lacks real talent for music. This CD is the final proof that such critics are wrong. His music may take a few listenings to get into, contrary to Webber or Wildhorn, but unlike those two, he doesn't cater to the audience. He challenges them to think outside of traditional musical theater in a glorious repertoise of shows that reach for a smarter, more sophisticated form.
A maginificent evening, a magnificent album.......2001-12-16
This wonderful double CD shows off the best and brightest of the musical theatre composer and it is, as one person put it, "an embarassment of riches." With songs from his finest works done in amazing arrangements (listen to that harmony in "We Had a Good Thing Going"!) combined with fabulous performers this is a Sondheim lovers delight.
My favorite song is, without a doubt, Dorothy Louden and her wonderful medley of "Losing My Mind" into "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" followed very closely by the recently departed Madeline Kahn singing "Getting Married Today."

Writer/director Paul Weitz' comic fable rises above its Hollywood generation-gap formula (older worker Dennis Quaid finds himself in a tense relationship with half-his-age new boss Topher Grace--who's also dating Quaid daughter Scarlett Johansson) with a graceful humanity lacking in similar mainstream fare. That warm sensibility is also capably underscored by an inviting slate of pop songs and the evocative original cues of Hedwig and the Angry Inch collaborator Stephen Trask. While there are the handful of expected oldies (Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools, "the debut hits "Reeling in the Years" and "Solsbury Hill" by Steely Dan and Peter Gabriel, respectively), the collection's atmosphere is largely set by a trio of introspective acoustic ballads by Iron & Wine, the similarly toned "Soundtrack of Our Lives" by Ten Years Ahead and David Byrne's, evocative, minimalist ode to the metro mundane, "Glass, Concrete and Steel." Jazz chanteuse Diana Krall contributes a seductively smoky "Besame Mucho" while Trask's percussion-seasoned underscore subtly fuses it all together into a contemporary whole with masterful understatement. -- Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:

Great compilation.......2002-05-10
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.
A disappointment.......2001-12-15

Not impressed.......2003-11-25
Although the orchestration of the songs is well done, most of them simply were not meant to be performed by a chorus; and they sound terrible in that form. If you want some of the songs on this CD, I suggest you look at one of Disney's compilation CDs in the Classic Disney Vol. 1-5 series or the actual soundtracks of the movies.

few roots here, "River Niger" a big disappointment.......2006-03-27
I'd like in particular to voice my distaste for "River Niger" (which "plum village" liked so much). I think it's unpleasant. It's not roots-y. It sounds to me as if KennyG stopped in for a session.
If this CD is reggae at all, it's pop, not roots. But I don't think it's reggae.
Top Ranking Reggae.......2004-02-26
I've listened to the Uhuru dub music of Sly and Robbie, very good, but in the finality, the Skatalites "Guns of Navaronne" is the only thing as memorable.
If you don't know Sly & Robby, you are missing out on one of the strongest underlying forces of Reggae; these guys helped everyone, are still on the forefront.
Not only for their advanced recording techniques, guitar, percussion, what great artists.
"and they're still doing it".......2001-03-20
Sly and Robbie have played on more records than anyone else, that's close to a million by now - 20 tunes a day for 25 years, and you get nearly 200,000 tracks, multiplied by remixes, dubs, versions and all those one-rhythm albums...that music fans is saying something...awesome.
Every artist on these tracks celebrates the old and the new in music, and the ability to enjoy them in unexpected new ways...they are masters and adventurers, present here a living endorsement for the interconnectedness and eternal inspiration of music...SLY and ROBBIE we can't wait for the next decade's.
A big thank you to - Dana G. Smart (compilation producer), Pat Lawrence (executive producer), Erick Labson (mastering engineer), Michele Horie (production coordination), Brian Chin (liner-notes) and Hip-O Records. If you enjoyed this CD, also available on Hip-O - "Roots Reggae Essentials" (314 541 455 2), "Steel Pulse Ultimate Collection" (314 541 463 2), "Dub Reggae Essentials" (314 541 803 2), Ragga Essentials ina Dancehall Style (314 541 745 2)...and many more in the understanding that music mirrors the diversity and continuity of life.
