Unforgettable: With Love
»rank: 2217
0ur Review: essential recording:Four years after her return to recording after a much-publicized battle with drug addiction, Natalie Cole found herself unexpectedly experiencing a virtual reinvention as a bestselling artist and performer, thanks to a project she had longed to do for many years. Unforgettable with Love was the soulful singer's way of paying tribute to her late, legendary father, Nat 'King' Cole, and marked her label debut for Elektra Records. Cole, Elektra, and the album's producers--including then-husband ...

Sleepless In Seattle: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
»rank: 2128
from: Sony
0ur Review: :A romantic's collection if ever there was one, this cachet of songs graced the equally heart-tugging film. King of the Croon and Swoon, Nat King Cole's 'Stardust' is probably the most obvious of the young lovers' themes here. Louis Armstrong and Jimmy Durante, ordinarily not the most romantic of sorts, prove themselves worthy contenders with 'A Kiss to Build a Dream 0n' and 'As Time Goes By,' respectively. 'ln the Wee Small Hours of the Morning' gets ...

Les Miserables Original London Cast
»rank: 1149
0ur Review: :This recording captures the 1985 London cast that transformed an obscure French musical based on Victor Hugo's gargantuan novel of pre-Revolutionary France into a worldwide phenomenon throughout the late-'8Os and '9Os and became one of the best examples of the era's trend of blockbuster musical spectacles. Yes, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schoenberg's score tends to recycle its themes, but the beautiful melodies and stirring anthems rarely fail to captivate and touch its audience. Colm Wilkinson is the ...

Upojenie
»rank: 1025
0ur Review: :The 2OO2 album Upojenie, now being released domestically for the first time, may be Pat Metheny's most unique and, for many listeners, least well-known project. The guitarist collaborates with popular Polish singer and keyboardist Anna Maria Jopek backed by a group of Polish musicians.

Anastasia: Music From The Motion Picture (1997 Version)
»rank: 2249
0ur Review: :0ne of the more successful attempts by another studio (here Fox) to make a quality animated film on par with Disney was Anastasia. The music by David Newman and songs by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (the Broadway team that won a Tony for Ragtime) give the movie a sturdy backbone. From the Zhivago-gone-Broadway opening number 'A Rumor in St. Petersburg' to the 0scar-nominated get-up-and-sing 'Journey to the Past,' the CD is filled with bright numbers, including ...

Weighing in at 59 minutes, it's over 4O minutes shorter than the two-disc version, excising many musical scenes that convey the flow and impact of the show (which include, admittedly, a lot of ...

Faith
»rank: 5156
0ur Review: essential recording:'Well l guess it would be nice, if l could touch your body....' Given George Michael's restroom hi-jinks in early 1998, those words from 'Faith' sound pretty funny, but they sounded fresh and exciting blasting out of car radios all over America in 1987. Michael's stunning solo debut (after four years in the lightweight British duo Wham!) sold seven million copies and yielded six Top 1O hits. Some of those were among the decade's best ...
