1.Gracie Fields: Sing As We Go, Vol. 1 by: Gracie Fields October 17, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.59
Naxos has begun a most welcome new series called "Nostalgia Naxos," the first two of which entries I have heard and love! Both have great similarities and both exhibit the triumph of style over vocal abilities. <"Sing As We Go": Gracie Fields, Vol. 1> (8.120503) gives us 18 examples of the English musical hall/film star that was idolized by millions, mostly in her own country. Recorded between 1932 and 1940, these selections are perfect examples of not only English Musical Hall fare but the inimitable way in which Fields "put over" such crowd-pleasers as "She Fought Like a Tiger for 'Er Honour," " I Took My Harp to a Party," "Will You Love Me When I'm Mutton," and the one your heard in the film "The Dresser", "A Nice Cup of Tea." Her enthusiasm is infectious, her delivery delightful, ... Read More

2.There'll Always Be An England by: Various Artists January 01, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $20.72
Given the title and the picture of Churchill on the cover, it's hardly surprising that half the songs reflect the mood of the Second World War, and present a sound picture of a nation united against a common enemy. As to the remainder, not all of them fit the national theme quite so well, and I wish that the net had been cast more widely, so as to bring in a greater range of personalities. Nevertheless, remastering has been well carried out, and this 2-CD set is a real bargain,

3.The Show Goes On: A Portfolio Of Theater Songs By Tom Jones & Harvey Schmidt (1998 Original Off-Broadway Cast) by: Harvey Schmidt, Tom Jones June 16, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $16.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $4.99
Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones may "suffer" from having written one of the all-time greatest theatrical smash hits in "The Fantasticks" in that the remainder of their work (and it spans four decades) is often pushed to the wayside. Yes, the two wrote more than "Try To Remember", and this album, featuring the two songwriters with three delightful backup vocalists takes the listener on an educational and entertaining journey through their career, with detours down some paths not taken, in the form of songs cut from shows or which were substantially reworked. Highlights include Jones's remeniscing about Gower Champion calling with the idea for "I Do! I Do!", a selection of songs from "Celebration" (since the cast recording is long out of print, this is really the only commercial ... Read More

4.Celebration (1969 Original Broadway Cast) from: Angel Records May 24, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $39.99
What has tragically proved to be Jones and Schmidt's final Broadway show (not counting the too-many aborted workshop productions and out-of-town closings since) is an odd bird indeed, but so were all their shows, and that's why they were special. The entertainment pundits blamed its premature closing on a small-scale show playing a big-scale house, and while that may be true there's something in this score that's off-kilter; it tries for the sweetness and innocence of "The Fantasticks" against a clashing world-weariness, all set to that feathery "Fantasticks" small-pit-band sound. Unfortunately the duo could not come up with a hit here, as with "Try to Remember", nor even anything to be resuscitated by Barbra Streisand; one leaves this recording humming the arrangements. But because the sound is so musical, ... Read More

6.New York Town by: Black 47 February 10, 2004

I lost interest in Black 47 a few albums ago. They were just getting too hit or miss for my tastes, especially when their first few albums held up so well. Just when I'd nearly stopped caring about them, along comes their best effort since "Fire of Freedom." It's about time! Since nearly everything they've ever recorded was unavoidably connected to New York in one way or another, of course 9/11 was bound to hang heavy in the air. And it does, even on some of the songs that are about other matters entirely. So it's just as well that Larry and the boys didn't shy away from addressing it head on in "New York Town," "Orphan of the Storm" and "Mychal" (a tribute to Father Mychal Judge, set rather loosely to the tune of "Lord Franklin"). All three are unique and well-expressed, something hardly any ... Read More

I have always loved Brideshead Revisited, the book, the PBS series, and now the film!!! I thought all the young actors were superb and of course Emma Thompson as Lady Marchmain was incredible!! I love this music score!! I can listen to all the tracks without skipping any of them, and, of course, track 23, The Red Flame, is so moving it will send chills down your spine!!! I highly recommend the movie and the soundtrack to this production!!!
