Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

A little less conversation, a lot more The King.......2003-06-06

I'll be the first to admit that I ain't no dancer, yet it's impossible to keep still to the two remixed versions of "A Little Less Conversation" included on this disc. JXL took a decent if unremarkable song that Elvis performed in the psychedelia-influenced (albeit without the drugs!) 1968 film "Live a Little, Love a Little" and turned it into something that works 35 years later. A remarkable feat in itself, and a fitting tribute to The King (whose talent also had something to do with it...).

Even the very sparse-sounding original version included as Track 3 has a nice groove to it, though it clocks in at just over 1:30 and seems a bit cut off at the end (I don't remember if the song ended so abruptly in the film). It is a pleasure to hear all three versions of the song included on this disc, which allowed me to better appreciate the contributions of both artists to "A Little Less Conversation".

The First installment blew me away (four stars). The Second was good and had it's moments but was redundant in places to the first (3 stars). The Third installment might actually be as good, if not better than the first, because it manages to match the first in emotional punch and lyrical beauty yet retains a freshness it shouldn't have as a sequel but does.

If this album doesn't make you get up and dance and sing along then you probably have died and NOT gone to heaven.

SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST.......2004-06-22

Great little indie record.......2003-10-22

A bit juvenile, perhaps just not for me.......2003-07-23

Unfortunately, this band is somewhat boring and juvenile. I can see high school chicks swooning to the singer's voice, and saying to themselves "Ooh, we are SOOO Ahhlternative!" I once had a band that ... , and we just messed around for fun, but we had one song entitled "Generic Alternative Song," which was intended to make fun of music exactly like this. And we wrote that song over 10 years ago, which pretty much says to me that not much has changed in lame alternative music over the years.

The music is overall very non-offensive, and does very little to inspire me. The vocalist sings in a pretentious whispery voice most of the time, and I can't stand that. Sure, they may be talented... but so is Barry Manilow and Whitney Houston... not that there's any similarity other than they all play music I don't like.

The reason why it doesn't get only one star is because I am a big fan of the guitarist... but I guess even if Jimi Hendrix was playing this music, I'd still hate it. This music puts me to sleep!

Just so you know, I tend to like punk rock (not the lame emo-core stuff like Saves the Day and Finch, but REAL punk like Misfits, Operation Ivy, Dead Kennedys, etc.). I like a good, hard-as-steel emo-ish album from time to time, which is why I like Samiam and Jawbreaker, but most bands having anything to do with emo drive me nuts. Hopefully that helps to put my tastes in perspective, so if you find your taste similar to mine this review might help you. It doesn't really help when people say how great the music is etc. if there's no context. And if your tastes are not similar to mine, feel free to ignore me.

Wonderful Town is a wonderful show.......2004-10-25

Light and lively musical comedy .......2004-08-07

a must-have recording for REAL Broadway fans.......2002-12-26

The story is based on the play "My Sister Eileen", written by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov; as well as the stories written by Ruth McKenney. The play was later turned into a successful Columbia film starring Rosalind Russell (as Ruth Sherwood) and Janet Blair as Eileen. Several years later Columbia released a musical version (following the success of WONDERFUL TOWN) which starred Janet Leigh and Betty Garrett.

WONDERFUL TOWN originally starred Rosalind Russell (repeating her film role) as Ruth and Edith 'Edie' Adams as Eileen. The cast also included George Gaynes (GIGI, 'Punky Brewster') as the romantic male lead.

The score by Betty Comden and the late Adolph Green is gorgeous, and features the comical "100 Easy Ways", the lilting "A Little Bit in Love" and the showstopping "Conga!" and "Wrong-Note Rag".

No Broadway-recording collection is complete without the original cast of this landmark musical.

This re-issue from the superb Decca Broadway range also includes the rare 1945 set of ON THE TOWN, which featured original cast-members Betty Comden, Adolph Green and Nancy Walker singing their songs from the show, with Mary Martin singing "Lonely Town" and "Lucky to Be Me".

Highly-recommended.
