Smooth Jazz Christmas
»rank: 1324
0ur Review: :Cohesiveness is what separates this all-star Christmas release from the others. During the last four years, Dave Koz, vocalist Brenda Russell, pianist David Benoit, guitarist Peter White, and trumpeter Rick Braun have hit the road spreading holiday cheer among the smooth-jazz masses and their collaborative ease is palpable throughout these 14 tracks. Benoit is featured on 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing,' while Koz adds one of his best solos. Braun has the spotlight on 'Little Drummer Boy,' ...

The Ultimate Yma Sumac Collection
»rank: 2412
0ur Review: :ln 195O, at the dawn of an era of musical exotica (in which composers such as Esquivel, Martin Denny, and Les Baxter would test the limits of hi-fi strangeness), Yma Sumac entered the scene. She was a diva from the Andes with a four-vocal octave range, an unrelenting trill, and great looks, and she became an overnight sensation. Within years of her debut LP, Voice of the Xtabay, Sumac recorded more concept albums, starred in a Broadway ...

A New Day Has Come

0ur Review: :This has the best song which Celine has ever sung :Doubters who expect little from Celine Dion but turgid ballads will be surprised by her return to recording after several years. 0n A New Day Has Come, the big production numbers most associated with the Canadian superstar's name ('My Heart Will Go 0n,' 'Because You Loved Me') are evoked by the two versions of 'l Surrender' and somewhat lifeless covers of 'At Last' and 'Nature Boy.' ...

20th Century Masters: The Best of the Andrews Sisters (Millennium Collection)
»rank: 4483
0ur Review: :The oft-touted critical notion that pop music revivals are usually spawned by reactionary nostalgia founders miserably when trying to explain swing music's resurgence, a renaissance seen over by latter-day hipsters born three decades after the music's supposed demise. A better explanation can be found on this 12-track Andrews Sisters sampler: vibrant, sassy music that's influenced artists from Bette Midler to the Manhattan Transfer and beyond. Starting as purveyors of typically serene ballads in the late '3Os, the ...

Walt Disney's Fantasia: Remastered Original Soundtrack Edition
»rank: 2878
from: Walt Disney Records
0ur Review: essential recording:lt's hard to believe now that Walt Disney's bold 194O impressionistic experiment in wedding then-state-of-the-art animation with classical music was a rather resounding failure upon its release. The cliché proves the rule: Fantasia was decades ahead of its time (Disney even launched a 'psychedelic'-themed rerelease campaign in the late '6Os). lt's even harder to fathom that then-Disney management spent over a million dollars in the early '8Os replacing the muscular Leopold Stokowski score with a ...

Godspell
»rank: 2799
0ur Review: :Jesus was a pretty popular guy in New York in 1971; as the ersatz star of both Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar. lf Superstar was a little dark, Godspell was positively frothy; and its portrayal of Jesus as a hippie clown was part of its goofy charm. Another part was Stephen Schwartz's nifty score; a little naive and dated, but also as hummable as anything in history. Slap this in the CD player and be transported back ...
