1.The Pirates of Penzance from: Elektra / Wea February 24, 1998

This is a wonderful DVD. I got this as a stop gap until the VHS came out on DVD, but now I may not. Yes, the technical aspects are not the best. But it is the filming of an actual performance at the Delacorte Theater. It's not as slick as the production with Angela Landsbury, but Patricia Routledge, later to be Hetty Wainthrop and Hyacinth Bucket, more than holds her own, and the production has those small details that usually are left out of a much-edited and rehearsed film. You really get the feeling you are there watching a live performance. If you are a G&S fan, this is a DVD you must have. It is a gem of a performance, with wonderful actors/singers.

2.Sunset Boulevard (1993 Original London Cast) by: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Michael Bauer, Daniel Benzali, Meredith Braun, Gerard Casey, Nicolas Colicos, Anita Louise Combe, Don Black, Christopher Hampton, Patti LuPone, Kevin Anderson June 10, 1996

When this CD was first released my partner and I listened to it every night and sometimes twice. We thought what a perfect vehicle for Patti and you could tell it was written for her vocal range. All the characters were fabulous and George Hearn as Max was cast in stone.~~~~~New Year's Eve and Glenn Close stopped into Andrew Loyd Weber's party where all were celebrating the success of Sunset Blvd. Close got up on the piano, cleavage showing, and sang one of Patti's songs. ~~~~~~~ Patti was replaced, handsomely, but with a slap from a girl who should have never left her side of the tracks. ~~~~~~~ So here we are with Patti soaring as she did from the start. She made this show. It was stolen. All that remains is her voice as Norma Desmond. ~~~~~ Webber, go pet your cats!Sweeney Todd in Concert

I enjoy all of Rebecca Luker's albums, and this Aria series does not disappoint. It's soothing and relaxing, and her voice is, of course, lovely.

You get what you want from this. All of the epic music from Peter Jackson's 2005 King Kong film. Highly recommended to hardcore fans.

5.Brownstone the Musical (2003 Studio Cast) by: Liz Callaway, Brian D'Arcy James, Rebecca Luker August 26, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $19.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $88.33
A pleasant score. Fine singing, especially the wonderful Liz Callaway. The score, however, doesn't have those one or two numbers that stand out and stop you in your tracks. I haven't seen the show, and perhaps when integrated with the text.....

6.Brooklyn The Musical (2004 Original Broadway Cast) by: Mark Schoenfeld, Barri McPherson, Eden Espinosa December 14, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $18.97 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.95
Brooklyn has an amazing story, cast, and score. The music is AMAZING. Thier is not one song that i don't like. The 2 best songs are "ONCE UPON A TIME", AND "I NEVER KNEW HIS NAME". Alot of people have been taking alot of credit away from the show because the story is not as serious as RENT. Well that is ridiculious, I WILL SAY IN FULL CONFIDENCE THAT THIS SHOW HAS A BETTER MUSICAL SCORE THAN RENT AND SO WHAT IF IT IS NOT AS SERIOUS AS RENTS AIDS STORY. Brooklyn is extremely fun and powerful if you can appreciate it for what it is. Its an A+ feel good musical.

7.The Essential Igor Stravinsky from: Sony March 25, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $19.97 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $7.56
Sony Music's "The Essential Igor Stravinsky" truly lives up to its title. This double-CD set includes nearly every important piece of work (either in part or in whole) by the great Russian composer. The set also presents the pieces in chronological order beginning in 1908 with "Fireworks" and ending in 1966 with his final piece, the short but simple "Owl and The Pussycat". In between, there are excerpts from Stravinsky's most famous works including the first part of "The Rite Of Spring" and highlights from the "Firebird" and "Petrushka" ballets. There are also lesser-known works included as well as his harmonically rearranged version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" (a rendition which caused a stir in the early 1940's). The entire collection concludes with a rare recorded interview with Igor Stravinsky himself in ... Read More

10.Solti: The Wagner Opera Collection (Limited Edition) [21-CD Box Set with Bonus Unreleased CD] by: Manfred Jungwirth, Peter Klein, Waldemar Kmentt, Tom Krause, Resnik, Regina May 31, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $248.97
This collection not only represents all of the glorious music of Wagner the continues to influence composers to this day; it is also one of the greatest achievements both for Maestro Solti and for recording technology that was in practice during this time period. Yes, this music is lengthy, and because of the german dialogue often difficult to follow and comprehend, but I assure you that the rewards of listening to this collection will change your life. I would also recommend seeing any of these operas live, in that they are a truly magical experience.
