Although it's based on the 1967 movie of the same name, Thoroughly Modern Millie is almost thoroughly new. Composer Jeanine Tesori (Violet) and lyricist Dick Scanlan wrote a whole batch of songs, while retaining a couple from the movie--including the Jimmy van Heusen-Sammy Cahn title tune--and recycling even older material (look for Victor Herbert's "I'm Falling in Love with Someone" and the inventively arranged "Nuttycracker Suite"). Miraculously, the show, set during the jazz age, doesn't feel stitched together, and Tesori does a great job cranking out swinging melodies. Sutton Foster is appropriately brassy as Millie, but she can also tone it down, as in the beginning of "Gimme Gimme" (of course, she then proceeds to project up to the last rafters as the song builds to its climax). Harriet Harris, as nasty Mrs. Meers, steals the show with "They Don't Know." Close your eyes, listen to her, and you'll be back in Broadway's golden age. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Musical, But Product Quality - Eh.......2007-07-15

I absolutely love the musical so I'm thrilled with the cd.

My problem was not with the quality of the cd, but with the plastic case. The cd cases always come cracked. Although it doesn't affect the quality of the cd itself, it's rather disheartening that Amazon charges customers for its poor shipping.

5 out of 5 stars MODERNIZE your music collection!!!.......2007-07-13

This is an AMAZING musical and great album. It is sure to jazz-up any music collection! BUY THIS ALBUM NOW!

5 out of 5 stars A must to add to your collection.......2007-05-18

I was very fortunate enough to see this on Broadway. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen! The music has just enough jazz and contemporary vive that any musical lover would enjoy! It's also got tapping in it! Sutton is simply awesome in this role and all of the cast can really belt out their songs. Harriet Harris is phenominal in her role as Mrs. Meers. I highly recommend this to all broadway lovers! It's one to add to your collection!

5 out of 5 stars Delightful.......2006-06-12

The music takes a little bit to grow on you, but boy, does it! It's wonderful, charming, romantic, funny--just like the play itself. I loved almost every song and I was really impressed with "Long As I'm Here With You"-- I thought it was an old song written back in the twenties, because it so sounded like one. The cast is absolutely energetic and endearing, and Sutton Foster just *rocks*. Definitely worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars YOU WILL LOVE IT.......2006-02-17

If you like musicals, you will NOT REGRET purchasing this musical soundtrack. JUST DO IT. It's so great, you will be listening to it forever. I also saw the show at the Kennedy Center in D.C. and it's one of the best I've ever seen. (And I've seen A LOT.)

In these days of the crossover, it is hardly surprising to find two great opera singers making a foray into numbers from Broadway musicals by such composers as Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, and Andrew Lloyd Webber. What's remarkable is that they seem completely at home in this music. Both say they grew up listening to it, and indeed they approach these songs with no less care and seriousness than they'd give the most demanding operatic arias, and without a trace of condescension. However, their vocal, expressive, and interpretive styles are very different, both in the solos and the duets. Terfel projects assertive manliness, tender, intimate affection, and rollicking humor without external effects, using only his incomparably sonorous voice and powerful personality. His diction is impeccably clear, and though he has sometimes let his theatrical flair spill over into Schubert songs, he is the soul of simplicity here. This is in stark contrast to Fleming's tendency to exaggerate colors and dynamics and to turn sentiment into sentimentality. Moreover, though she claims a background as a jazz singer, her "crooning" sounds artificial and unnatural. However, her top notes, culminating in a triumphant high C at the end of the final number, ring gloriously. Her voice glows and shimmers with irresistible luster, soaring from seductive whispers to thrilling climaxes. The program features a great variety of love songs, and includes an antiwar protest (from Beautiful Game), a celebration of the American dream (from Ragtime), and a rousing fun piece (from The Music Man). Unfortunately, even the best songs are marred by thoroughly corny arrangements. Listeners will find their own favorites, but the real "stars" on this record are the two singers. --Edith Eisler

4 out of 5 stars Delightful .......2006-07-24

I truly enjoy Terfel's vocal talent and found it to be well suited for this genre. Fleming's impeccable soprano voice is a bit overpowering for this style of music. (I own this CD)

5 out of 5 stars A Master Class in Singing.......2006-06-20

This CD is a must-have for any person interested in the singing art. Ms. Fleming and Mr. Terfel gives new light to these Musical Theatre classics. Their fine vocalism in the musical theatre genre coupled with the depth of musicality and dramatic phrasing in each of the selections is truly a breath of fresh air. This recording is indeed a Master Class!

4 out of 5 stars Bryn is swell, but the bombast is annoying.......2006-05-03

Love Bryn Terfel, the finest bass-baritone in Opera. Love Renee Fleming's luscious soprano. But the arrangements! Kettle drums and bombast and bang, bang, bang! Once Renee starts swooping, things go downhill, with little redemption.

It starts out beautifully. "Not While I'm Around" has never sounded more intimate to me than Terfel's caressing pianissimo. Fleming's "Moonglow" is stunningly good. Terfel makes a medley out of "I Don't Remember You and Sometimes a Day Goes By" that makes you want to cheer, and Fleming does a lovely Sondheim medley as well. Bryn sings "Stars" and makes me long for him in Les Mis. And then...things tend to go downhill. The bombast takes over and gets to you - it overwhelms two of the biggest voices now recording. Then Fleming begins to swoop and scoop, over-coloring and often coming off as simply self-indulgent, reminding one of a kid who makes a point of putting his face in a camera shot.

I don't mind Bryn as Prof. Harold Hill - I frankly think the Welsh accent is kinda cute - and it doesn't bother me on "Wheels of Dream," either, but Fleming seems to have lost her mind on that great song, and rather than indulging her, it would have simply been better left off the album. Ditto "All that Wasted Time" which is pretty much unlistenable. Ms. Fleming needs to stop thinking she is a jazz singer.

The four stars are because this album does contain some truly GLORIOUS moments, particularly in the duets, and in Terfel's solo's which are warm and memorable. Without him, the kettle drums and Fleming's self-indulgence would have made the whole endeavor unbearable.

5 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Fine Crossover from Fleming and Terfel.......2006-04-18

Bryn Terfel and Renee Fleming are two of the most acclaimed opera singers of our day. But the musical theatre fan who puts on their Broadway CD, RENEE AND BRYN: UNDER THE STARS, expecting to hear a carelessly compiled hodgepodge of songs sung by voices ill-suited to them is in for a big surprise, beginning with the first phrases of the duo's warmly sung "Not While I'm Around" from SWEENEY TODD. True, these singers' beautiful voices have greater power and range than even the best of the Broadway stars', but this is an asset in these songs, most of which are either semi-operatic in nature or call (like THE MUSIC MAN's "Seventy-Six Trombones") for such an outsize personality as Terfel's. Fleming's sensuous and tonally gorgeous rendition of "Moonfall" from THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD can be placed among her very finest recordings, operatic and otherwise. And Terfel is ideally suited to both "Pretty Women" from SWEENEY TODD and "Stars" from LES MISERABLES; few if any Broadway Javerts could match the impact of his "This I swear by the stars!" Kander and Ebb's "I Don't Remember You" and "Sometimes a Day Goes By" make a perfect medley here, as do Sondheim's "I Wish I Could Forget You" and "Loving You" from PASSION. And though I don't care for the Andrew Lloyd Webber selections (ersatz Puccini) or the Jason Robert Brown one (which sounds too much like a pop song), Terfel and Fleming's singing of them is beyond reproach. The program ends with a bang: a rendition of "Wheels of a Dream" worthy to stand beside the now-classic one by Brian Stokes Mitchell and Audra McDonald on the original cast album of RAGTIME. Welshman Terfel's natural accent is noticeable here; but if one imagines him as, say, an Irish immigrant married to an African-American woman (as Fleming here sounds uncannily like McDonald or like Leontyne Price) his accent is appropriate and his voicing of the "bridge" section ("Oh Sarah, it's more than promises/Sarah, it must be true...") especially moving. Fleming's ecstatic final high note makes one want to applaud and cheer, both for the song and for the successful "crossover" effort.








5 out of 5 stars BREATHTAKING VOCAL MAGNIFICENCE~BRAVO!!!.......2004-10-11

So captivating are these incredible singers in the glorious live concert "Under The Stars" creating an unforgettable musical masterpiece of epic proportions that is so moving and great to watch that I ran out and purchased this studio recorded Compact Disc the next day!! The brilliance of the live broadcast carried over into the recording studio capturing Renee and Bryn at the peak of their incredible powers emotionally and vocally making them the most effective crossover artists since the great Barbara Cook who like Miss Cook sing with emotion that is accurate for this type of material which is usually not the case with classical voices. Renee Fleming sings with genuine passion and stirring emotions and her timing is absolutely flawless and this lady has alot of soul and the Torrie Zito arranged "Moonfall" is a stunning masterpiece that clearly illustrates this. A dazzling medley each show both singers in glorious peak form with Bryn splendid in the enchanting "I Don't Remember You/Sometimes A Day Goes By" and Renee spellbinding and haunting in the gorgeous "I Wish I Could Forget You/Loving You" which will make anyone who loves a great voice fall in love with this amazingly gifted singer. "Stars" features a commanding performance from Bryn that raises the roof and this is so refreshing and inspired in these musically tired times!!! This superb showcase is full of wonderfully exciting performances which are capable of making people feel again and this is what is sorely needed in music today and BRAVO to Bryn Terfel and the gorgeous Renee Fleming for achieving this with complete artistic brilliance. Captivating duets fill this wonderous collection and never have classics such as "Not While I'm Around" or "All I Ask Of You" been sung more brilliantly than here. Renee is magical with "Hello, Young Lovers" while Bryn is commanding and winning with "Pretty Women". Renee's stunning "All The Wasted Time" is a vocal and emotional tour-de-force that is like a wild roller-coaster ride that you won't want to end as this is one of the most riveting songs that I have ever heard from a Broadway score and this certainly must be the definitive performance of this great song. This lady can really really sing and this is some deeply serious singing~WOW!!! Gorgeous together again in the beautiful "How Could I Ever Know" which is hair-raising and wonderfully soulful and sophisicated together in Cole Porter's "So In Love". A grand finale by these two awesome vocal wonders lives up to expectations being a complete blowout vocal festival and they definitely do not disappoint here!!! "Wheels Of A Dream" is mesmerizing and soars to magnificent heights with Bryn and Renee in peak form singing to the skies and hitting notes that I swear I have never heard before~BRAVO!!!!!!! You are both magically inspired and simply put as good as it gets!!!! Highly recommended if you love two awesome vocal wonders at their absolute peak in a magnificent beautifully orchestrated setting!!! Thank you Bryn & Renee...

This CD was the deciding factor for me to buy Von Schweigert VM1 Monitors with Subwoofer. There is just so much warmth, musicality, nuance and emotion. In some ways better than the original. Better in the sense that the String Quartet transports you to a new yet familiar world. So it is a combination of Bluegrass, Classical and Jazz. A must have album for Audiophiles, fans of Alison Krauss and for those exploring new forms of music.

You're gonna need a cardiologist after this tasty schmaltz attack on your senses by previously unreleased excerpts from the 1951-1966 Coca-Cola radio show. Mario Lanza's vibrant, satisfying tenor rings thrillingly, but lacks a necessary middle for many of these songs. Still, when the top opens, his sound is obsessively appealing as he scoops unabashedly to get your emotional adrenaline flowing. However, the descending line was not his friend. He's most successful with popular Italian songs and operetta excerpts. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Rough diamond.......2001-08-23

My initial impression on hearing this CD was: fabulous voice; rough performances. That view is essentially unchanged. Lanza fans will adore the heroic singing and sheer bravado of these performances; purists will no doubt find much to criticize in Lanza's unrestrained delivery. In a sense, both sides are right, but there can be no mistaking that this is one of the most exceptional tenor voices on record. The upper register is dazzling and the middle and low registers are rich and satisfying. Lanza's breath control is second to none, and the evenness between his registers shows a technical expertise that is quite astonishing. If that wasn't enough, the singer's way with a song is unique - not a word is neglected as Lanza imparts each number with his trademark commitment and freshness. This is a voice to treasure.

Now the criticism: all of the performances contained here come from Lanza's wildly erratic Coca-Cola Radio Show of 1951-52. To be sure, these weekly performances yielded some amazing results, but sadly only a handful of these are to be found on this disk. (For a much more consistent "Coke" CD, check out the excellent When Day is Done.) The real reason for the inconsistency in performance was lack of time, and often Lanza was not sufficiently familiar with the material. The arrangements certainly didn't help, with the emphasis on big endings and impossibly high keys. Having said that, I doubt that any other tenor in similar circumstances could have produced as many dazzling performances as Lanza achieved.

Duds first: Diane is a dreadful rendition, and let's hope it never resurfaces on any other compendiums. The Neapolitan songs are rough - very rough in the case of Santa Lucia Luntana and Canta Pe Me - and vastly superior performances (and arrangements) of these and others can be found on Lanza's magnificent Mario! Lanza At His Best CD. O Paradiso is a decidedly inferior effort (especially compared to the tenor's rendition in the 1955 movie Serenade) and suffers from appalling orchestral accompaniment. The two songs from The Student Prince (Serenade and Deep in My Heart) suffer badly in comparison with Lanza's magnificent soundtrack, recorded the same year. Here both performances are rushed and unpolished, with a totally unneccesary "scream" on the word "dream" at the conclusion of Deep in My Heart. You'll Never Walk Alone is a ho-hum effort, and there is a far better take of this number to be found on the CD of the same title.

For my money, the CD's strengths are the magnificent Addio Alla Madre (a performance that rivals Lanza's celebrated 1950 recording and has an on-key ending this time!); a sensitive rendition of O Tu Che In Seno Agli Angeli (surely one of the most difficult arias in the repertoire); the beautifully realized Your Eyes Have Told Me So; a cheeky and exciting La Danza; and a far more delicate reading of Parmi Veder Le Lagrime than his 1950 commercial rendition.

The sound is extremely bright (sometimes excessively so) at the expense of Lanza's mellow timbre, but there is a real sense of presence throughout. As one Lanza admirer remarked on first hearing this disk: "This is a fantasy voice." And indeed it is. Buy this disk for its highlights and revel in the tenor's exuberant genius.

Lyndsay Perigo is spot on. This is the finest compact disc of Lanza's to date. The finest sound quality yet and boy what singing. Try if you dare, not to find "You Are Love" spine tingling and what about the sheer sensational neapolitan beauties. Let's not forget the wonderful arias on the albumn. Lanza had no vocal equal and probably never will. Listen to the disc, just once maybe and you will feel the same as many other fans of the greatest tenor voice EVER.

5 out of 5 stars More Lanza Bonanza.......1999-08-16

The lady is right you will need a cordiologist, but not for the reasons she says. This is Mario Lanza in top flight, every track is a gem. Included on this Cd is a selection from the full Lanza repertoire, opera, operetta, musical comedy and popular songs of the day all sung to perfection as only Mario could sing them. For anyone who is a Lanza fan or for anyone who has only just heard of the Mario Lanza name, this is the Cd for you, but beware once you listen to this you will want them all.

5 out of 5 stars The Great Mario.......1999-08-15

Barbara Eisner Bayer's review is pretentious nonsense. "No middle" for these songs & arias? Mario had a seamless transition from bottom to middle to top register, shown off to great advantage in these selections. Ms Bayer should have her hearing checked for mid-range frequencies. Lanza's performance of Addio Alla Madre on this CD is second to none.One could almost say the same for his 'Forza' recording. And was there ever singing more lush than Mario's Your Eyes Have Told Me So or Some Day I'll Find You? A problem with "descending" Ms Bayer? Listen to the conclusion to the latter, where Mario both descends & ascends with a facility & passion that reveal the moderns - the Three Tenors included - for the dead boring poseurs that they are. Thank goodness Mario Lanza is enjoying the renaissance that he is, so that we may be reminded of what glorious singing is really about, & once was.

      4 out of 5 stars Same UPC number DIFFERENT song listing:.......2006-08-05

      I have this cd single whose UPC number is 0 7502-12375-2 0 which matches with Amazon but yet the track listing differes.

      Firstly this is a LIVE version of the hit song which appears in the 1980s movie The Breakfast Club. According to the linear notes, this version was recorded live at the Ahoy Rotterdam on December 3rd of 1985. While there was an extended 12" version of this song, the version that appears here is a live version, but it IS longer at 9:02

      Secondly there are 3 songs on this cd single including the title song.

      Finally the second track is not called "Brass Band in African Chimes" but "Bass Line" and the third song which is not mentioned on Amazon is called The American.

      Here are the songs:

      1. Don't You (Forget About Me)(Live) 9:02
      2. Bass Line 4:37
      3. The American 3:33

          5 out of 5 stars First Rate Light Music.......2004-08-31

          Dacades ago on FM radio I heard a medium tempo version of "Would You Like to Take a Walk?" that knocked my socks off. Simply beautiful. It took me this long to find out that it was Robert Farnon's Orchestra that performed that gem! And now, not only do I finally have it, I have also discovered more of Mr. Farnon's wonderful repertoire on these two albums.

          This may be considered "Light Music" but it is certainly not boring. There are uptempo romps like "Yes, we have no Bananas" and "Blue Skys" as well as near classical beauties like "Can I Forget You?" and "Down By the River." Farnon takes full advantage of his rather sizeable orchestra which consists of strings, brass, reeds, percussion, rhythm and harp.

          The cd is a nice production as well with interesting liner notes about Robert Farnon and the music per se. There are reproductions of the original album covers released both in the UK and U.S. There are also track times and composer listings, but, sadly, no mention of the orchestra members other than specific soloists. Originally the sound quality, even in 1953 and 1954 when these albums were recorded, was excellent. Fifty years has taken some of the edge off of that sound from the master tapes, but it is still very good.

          It's easy for me to recommend this cd and I will be forever grateful to Amazon for giving me the resources to finally track down Farnon and his beautiful arrangement and performance of "Would You Like to Take a Walk?"
