Due likely to his other careers as a pop artist, producer, classical composer, actor, and fashion model, Ryuichi Sakamoto the film scorer has averaged less than one film a year since his delightfully melodic debut, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence in 1983. But the Academy Award winner (The Last Emperor) has clearly eschewed quantity for quality, and his often-chilling music for Love Is the Devil (the first feature by vidoegrapher John Maybury--a disturbing portrait of artist Francis Bacon and his dark, obsessive relationship with his model/lover, George Dyer) is no exception. Sakamoto has long resisted composing mere musical narration for his film assignments; here he gets inside the characters by using the diverse palette and electronic techniques gleaned from his often cutting-edge pop work. This masterful melange of samples, treated piano, electronics, and white noise plays like a modern horror masterpiece, an eerie techno-concerto that owes more to Sakamoto's days as a student of electronic music and the avant-garde than to his sunny turn as leader of the Yellow Magic Orchestra. Think Bernard Herrmann displaced by an ocean and half-a-century of technology. --Jerry McCulley

Composer Sigmund Romberg is best known for the operettas he wrote in the early 20th century. While you may not know his name, there's a good chance you¹ve heard at least parts of The Desert Song or The Student Prince if you're a fan of musical theater. But with The Girl in Pink Tights, Romberg strayed from the style that made him famous and explored a more Cole Porterish va-va-voom vein. Indeed, parts of the show are reminiscent of 1953's Can-Can, which isn't too surprising, since--like Can-Can's Lilo--The Girl in Pink Tights starred a strongly accented French actor, [Zizi] Jeanmaire. Granted, the team of Romberg and lyricist Leo Robin (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) didn't possess Porter's wit and melodic sense, but they still came up with a deliciously silly Parisian soufflé of a show--even if it was set in 19th-century New York. Note that Romberg died without finishing the score, which was completed by orchestrator Don Walker. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

4 out of 5 stars really only noteworthy for the fabulous Zizi Jeamaire.......2002-12-27

THE GIRL IN PINK TIGHTS is a fairly stock-standard 50's Broadway musical, but features some lovely songs. The show is really only noteworthy as the "legit" Broadway debut of French ballet dancer-singer Zizi Jeanmaire.

The story is about a stranded French ballet troupe, and the numerous romantic entaglements that occur. Jeanmaire sings wonderfully, and headlined the musical with European actor Charles Goldner. Others in the cast included Brenda Lewis, David Atkinson and Alexander Kalioujny.

The score by the late Sigmund Romberg and Leo Robin is quite formulaic, but does feature a handlful of memorable tunes like "When I am Free to Love", "Lost in Loveliness", "Up in the Elevated Railway" and "My Heart Won't Say Goodbye".

As always, Zizi Jeanmaire is a stellar performer, be it on disc or in person. She made her Broadway debut several seasons before PINK TIGHTS, dancing the leading role in her soon-to-be-husband Roland Petit's ballet version of Bizet's CARMEN, which played at the Winter Garden Theatre. In the early 1980's she returned to Broadway to star as La Mome Pistache in a short-lived revival of CAN-CAN, a show that bears a certain similarity to THE GIRL IN PINK TIGHTS.

THE GIRL IN PINK TIGHTS is another of those lost gems that has been brought into the light by those folks at DRG. Highly-recommended.

3 out of 5 stars Keep bringing them back.......2002-04-04

Fortunately for collectors CD's of older musical shows are being released. The Girl in Pink Tights boasts the music of Sigmund Romberg whose songs in this piece do not quite have the staying power that flow through his operettas. Nonetheless the songs have humor, sparkle and romance. Noteworthy is the appearance of the French ballet artist Jeanmaire whose talents were choreographed by Agnes de Mille.

A couple of fun numbers are I Promised their Mothers and Love is the Funniest Thing, sung by Charles Goldner in both and Brenda Lewis in the second. Lost in loveliness and My Heart Won't Say Goodbye are appropriately romantic. And as every show about shows has to have a song about the theater in You've Got to Be a Little Crazy.

It's good listening. When are they going to release Li'l Abner? or Joel Gray's The Grand Tour? I got a list.

    4 out of 5 stars A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

    This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

    This score takes you into those all to familiar dark places that force you into fetal position while you bite at your blanket. I'd like to thank Sakamoto for his honesty and clarity, having reassured me that I'm a dirty, guilty, horrible human being. Having never actually seen this movie makes the fact that this score was effective even more profound. The track "bathroom" hits me in a tender spot which I hope never again to visit. Time for a bath.

    5 out of 5 stars Best Sakamoto's score so far.......2003-03-29

    This is one of the most challenging, thought-provoking and innovative scores ever recorded. It is the best score Sakamoto has composed so far, I can't describe it accurately, it's just beyond words and musical styles. This soundtrack makes you forget about the boring and uninspired scores for films such as "The Last Emperor" or "Snake Eyes". It's a pity that the majority of the works composed by Sakamoto do not match up to this wonderful and unrepeateable one.

    Above all, a very stimulating (and pretty underrated too) recording but not for all listeners (as a real masterpiece should be).

    Love it or hate it but just give it a try, you have never heard anything like this before and you won't forget it easily. Very recommended.

    PD-I would give it six stars if I could.

    2 out of 5 stars Between mystical moods and pain.......2000-06-23

    A score that reproduce the somewhat akward feeling that creeped up to me, watching the movie. Mr. Sakamoto gives the listener a mixture of mysterious moods en pain. Although interesting for the fan of mr. Sakamoto's music, is the score surely not his best one.

    Sakamoto has done it again--and completely differently. Fresh from his stirring (and underrated) Snake Eyes score, he has come up with this fascinating soundtrack that is both beautiful and frightening. Not for the faint of heart nor for those who don't care for electronica.
