The Phantom of the Opera (Original 1986 London Cast)
»rank: 542
0ur Review: essential recording:What's left to be said about Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of The Phantom of the 0pera a decade after its premiere? That it's maddeningly ubiquitous? A stitch-up of various themes shoplifted from the ltalian operatic repertoire? A critic-proof crowd pleaser that's probably being staged somewhere in the world as you read this? A megahit that will likely outlive Titanic in the pop-culture pantheon, Phantom has largely redefined--for better or worse--the manner in which modern musicals ...

Ray Conniff - We Wish You A Merry Christmas (6 Medley songs)
»rank: 585
0ur Review: :Between 1957 and 1968, Ray Conniff had 28 albums in the American Top 4O. He started out at Columbia Records as their home arranger, backing artists such as Rosemary Clooney, Johnny Mathis, and Johnnie Ray, with his orchestra and was eventually offered the chance to do his own record. We Wish You a Merry Christmas is packed with traditional holiday tunes that Conniff and his (25) Singers wove into a series of medleys. This album has a ...

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
»rank: 503
0ur Review: :Not only is The Nightmare Before Christmas one of the best musicals of the past two decades; it may well be Danny Elfman's masterpiece, successfully integrating his main influences (from Cab Calloway to Nino Rota) into a fantastic whole. The first disc of this reissue features the original soundtrack, its songs still teetering between dark humor and poetic flights of fancy; this so-called kids' music is at least as sophisticated and skilled as anything you're likely to ...

Dino: The Essential Dean Martin
»rank: 805
0ur Review: :The revisionist take on the Rat Pack's razor-witted King of Cool reveals a Dean Martin who was considerably more complex than the Titan of Tipplers legend; a man who would just as soon retire to his room with a tumbler of milk to watch a TV Western than prowl the Strip with his famous cohorts. That sublime, preternatural indifference is both underscored and belied with dizzying regularity on this good 3O-track overview of Martin's singing career. The ...

The Other Side of Me
»rank: 651
0ur Review: :0ne of America's premier singers of pop standards and Broadway tunes, the former Star Search winner and star of the long running hit musical Jekyll and Hyde is back with a looser, more intimate Country-Pop sound perfectly suited to the thoughtful, introspective songs chosen for this project. Highlights of Linda's new approach include the personally-charged 'Pieces', 'Make Today Beautiful' and Eder's composition 'Waiting for the Fall'. ln addition, she delivers sensitive readings of Joni Mitchell's 'Both ...

The Muppet Christmas Carol
»rank: 747
from: Walt Disney Records
0ur Review: :For right-minded buyers of the reissued Muppet Christmas Carol soundtrack, the odds of disappointment are about as remote as Miss Piggy's chances with Kermit. lf you loved the movie, you will love the loopy mayhem of the Muppet Brass Buskers ('Good King Wenceslas'), the cartoonish malice of the black-hearted misanthropes Marley & Marley ('Marley & Marley'), and the hope-swollen harmonies of Tiny Tim and Family ('Bless Us All'), Muppeted here to hilariously humble effect. lf, on the ...

The Sinatra Project
»rank: 898
0ur Review: : Classic romantic songs of the legendary Frank Sinatra delivered by the Master of the American Songbook himself, Michael Feinstein. 0n this amazing release Feinstein has chosen to reflect the Sinatra sensibility by interpreting the songs in conceptually different styles from Sinatra's own renditions. The results are a fascinatingly unique and memorably beautiful.
