 | The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas [Read More ...] Review: Another wonderful Time Life Christmas treasure trove:As with the first Christmas CD that I reviewed, which technically goes hand in hand with this particular Christmas CD (originally they were sold as a set), I must say that this one is just as amazing as the other one. As I sai... |
 | Camelot (Original Broadway Cast) [Read More ...] Description: For one brief, shining moment, there was a place known as Camelot--and this 1961 recording is the only document available of JFK's favorite musical, the one that's been used to describe his presidential administration ever since. Truthfully, Lerner and Loewe's musical score for t... |

 | Broadway - The American Musical (PBS Series) [Read More ...] Review: Could Have Used More Shows:Of course there should have been much more. I remember there been a Metropolian Opera series called CAST ALBUMS- 100 YEARS that was put out for a limited time only and had like five volumes.
As Peter Filichia noted they left out SHE LOVES ME, BRIGADOON ... |

 | My Fair Lady (1956 Original Broadway Cast) [Read More ...] Description: This recording was produced more than 40 years ago, only in mono, but from the day it was released it was a deserved phenomenon. It out-grossed the mega-hit show for months, and it still holds the record for the most weeks as a Billboard Top 40 album: 292. The reasons are many. S... |

 | Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (1985 Original London Cast) [Read More ...] Review: exceptional recording and performance:I find I can't agree with the other appraisals I see here of this delightful recording of this musical.

 | Treasury of Christmas: Christmas Spirit [Read More ...] Good classic songs:My wife's favorite Christmas song is the "Carol of the Bells" and it's not found too much. This version is great, although barely a minute long. Good mix of artists and classical Christmas sounds. Very nice. |
 | Evita [Read More ...] Review: Excellent Production:This is an excellent version of evita. I prefer julie covington and colm wilkinson to patti lupone and mandy patinkin. Julie to me sounds like a natural evita and colm does a great job; he has an edge to his voice that patinkin most assuredly does not. The... |
 | Classic Kennedy [Read More ...] Description: Just in case you thought Nigel Kennedy--fresh from his Hendrix tribute album--had left the classical music repertoire for good, think again. On Classic Kennedy, the fiddler is situated with the English Chamber Orchestra in a program that spans from Bach to Satie. (Yes, you also ... |

 | Noel! Noel! [Read More ...] Review: A decent collection from years ago:I was so happy to have recently found this CD. My family had this in 8-track format in the late 70s, and as I recall was just one in a series of Sony Music Christmas albums released in a set. You'll probably never ever find another album contain... |
