The line between evangelist and entertainer has always been somewhat indistinct. But as showcased on this 43-track, double-disc collection culled from his '87-'96 recordings for Elektra/Nonesuch/Atlantic, Michael Feinstein's dedication to spreading the gospel of the American song often blurs it beyond recognition. While the singer's pedigree for the task is impeccable (a long-term stint as Ira Gershwin's assistant and early career sponsorship by Liza Minnelli), his interpretations often succeed by playing off a tense axis of fervent emotionalism and a joyous sense of irreverence.

If his readings of romantic standards can sometimes tend toward the precious, they're often balanced here by sheer dramatic power and telling insights ("Isn't It Romantic" fairly bristles with ironic chauvinism) and a few loopy curves ("The Mole People," the Sherman Brothers' "The Ugly Bug Ball," and the previously unreleased "Rhode Island Is Famous for You"). Feinstein's dedicated song archaeology is also showcased on several gems: "Violin," a duet with Liza Minnelli; "My Favorite Year," a rejected ballad for the film of that name; the sublime "lost" Gershwin classic "Ask Me Again."

Sprinkled with live performances (the forum where Feinstein's talents seem most energized) and studio outtakes and featuring a lengthy print interview with the singer, the set chronicles both the pioneering efforts of one of pop music's most successful revivalists and, crucially, the cream of his beloved American songwriters, from stalwarts Gershwin, Berlin, and Porter to later legends like Herman, Styne, Lane, Martin, and Mercer. --Jerry McCulley

3 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings.......2005-10-05

This album has some GREAT songs on it; sophisticated swing being one of my favorites. However many of the other songs are too operatic and lame. I give three stars but this album is definatly worth it just for some of the better songs.

5 out of 5 stars Your love for this superb collection will be here to stay..........2002-07-18

The magnificently talented Michael Feinstein has made one wonderful album after another for nearly two decades. Now that Elektra and Rhino have put together this anthology, I am blown away by the versatility and diversity in Feinstein's recorded output. Such amazing rare gems, combined with the most beloved favorites in the history of American Popular Song. Assembled with wit, intelligence, and obvious affection on the part of the record company, this set is a keeper. You'll love it!

5 out of 5 stars He's done it again.......2002-07-15

Is there anything this man can't sing? This collection is so varied as to be the definitive collection of songs for any occassion.

This is perfect background music for a dinner party for a whole group but especially for two. Light, romantic and just gorgeous. You just can't go wrong when Michael Feinstein is your musical choice.

Way to go Michael, you've done it again!

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely 'S WONDERFUL!.......2002-06-10

There are very few contemporary performers who can hold their own with the truly great interpreters of American popular song. Michael Feinstein is truly the ONLY performer of the "younger" generation who really understands what these songs are all about. His incredible knowledge of this music, and his enthusiasm and passion for it have fueled his career. Rhino Records has done a truly outstanding job of putting together an anthology that exemplifies why Mr. Feinstein has become so beloved by audiences around the world. The packaging is excellent, and filled with interesting photos and background information about many of the selections.

This collection not only contains all the favorites one would expect, but a neat group of surprises too. I especially love the duets with people like Liza Minnelli and Rosemary Clooney, and the various collaborative efforts with songwriters like Jule Styne and Burton Lane accompanying Michael at the piano.

This collection is a classic to be treasured. Bravo Michael!
Bravo Rhino!

5 out of 5 stars A beautiful 2 disc CD-another hit for Michael.......2002-06-09

I have every CD Michael has ever made and this is by far one of the best ones because of Michael's range in singing and his wonderful singing voice. I love his duets with Rosemary Clooney and Liza Minelli. He is a wonderful performer on this double CD and am looking foward to the next CD.

    4 out of 5 stars One of Moby's rare releases!.......2001-08-19

    This is actually a Moby release despite it being labeled as "Lopez". Lopez is just one of many of Moby's aliases. The three songs on the CD are representitive of Moby's earlier releases; they are quite different from the material on PLAY, ANIMAL RIGHTS or EVERYTHING IS WRONG. "Why Can't It Stop?" has several varying loops of vocals, beats, sythesizers & piano. "The Dirty Underground" is probably the best track on this CD. At first it seems like just a monotonous beat that repeats itself. As the song progresses different beats & sound effects are introduced until the climatic end when an almost apocalyptic-like overpowering synthesizer comes in. It has a really moving effect. The third and last track "Everybody Can Do It" is quite different from the other two & defies classification. It is a series a varying loops of what sounds like muffled record scratching with a very subtle vocal sample in the background.

    This is a great CD to have if you can manage to find one. The 3 songs are all quite different from each other. I would recommend this to anyone who is familiar with & enjoys Moby's earlier stuff...for this is kind of "off the beaten path" & experimental.

    5 out of 5 stars Classy piano.......2004-05-11

    This is piano music of the highest order - catchy tunes and flawless performance. I couldn't buy this CD from Amazon so I bought it directly from Shellwood.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent tunes, excellent performance.......2003-10-10

    Billy Mayerl, Lothar Perl and Carroll Gibbons are not exactly household names, and they probably never will be. Mayerl wrote over 500 tunes and was the director of the light music division of the BBC. Perl, among other accomplishments, was the music director of the Ernie Kovacs show and was occasionally on camera. Gibbons was an American pianist/composer/bandleader who achieved fame in England.

    This music is melodic, varied and highly catchy. My favorite pieces are "Hollywood Stars," "Grasshopper Dance" and "A Garden in the Rain." Hassan's performances are, as always, top notch and right in character with the era. Incidentally, I bought my CD directly from the Shellwood Productions website.

    5 out of 5 stars The best interpretations of Mayerl yet.......2003-05-19

    Billy Mayerl was an extraordinarily gifted and prolific composer in the "novelty/syncopated/rhythm" piano style. Alex Hassan plays this music with consumate grace. Thanks are due to Shellwood Productions for producing such a high quality CD; check their website for more offerings from Hassan.

    5 out of 5 stars Super syncopation.......2003-05-14

    I don't know why this CD is only listed in the classical section: it should also be listed in the popular music section. The music of Billy Mayerl and Lothar Perl has never been played so well, not even by the composers themselves! Bravo, Mr. Hassan!
