Madagascar
»rank: 1071
from: Geffen Records
0ur Review: :Most of the older songs included on the soundtrack to this animated feature are so well-known that they border on well-worn (Vangelis' Chariots of Fire theme has to be one of the most reused pieces of 2Oth-century music ever) but their feel-good quotient is also hard to deny. (Earth, Wind & Fire's 'Boogie Wonderland' again? Sure, bring it on!) Still, it's hard not to wish the brains behind this CD had included snippets from the movie, considering ...

Christmas Extraordinaire
»rank: 545
0ur Review: :Chip Davis's Mannheim Steamroller hasn't lost any ground in the six years since their last Yuletide offering. Christmas Extraordinare is another innovative and heartfelt collection of seasonal treasures played on a combination of 18th-century instruments and modern-day synthesizers, drums, and electric guitars. While not the first to marry different ages of musical instruments, Davis and his cohorts use them with imagination and an intensity that gives new life and drama to this rather inert genre. For material, ...

Pytor Illych Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker - Complete Ballet
»rank: 735
0ur Review: :Although Gergiev is highly experienced in the theater, and he is leading an opera-ballet orchestra, this is definitely a concert Nutcracker. Tempos are brisk, textures streamlined, and dancers might have a good deal of difficulty keeping up with the music. For us home listeners, though, this is a superb way to hear Tchaikovsky's complete score and to remind ourselves of how much good music isn't included in the familiar suite. Gergiev justifies his reputation as an interpreter ...

To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With
»rank: 861
0ur Review: :This is one of his finest comedy discs, and it remains as fresh and funny as ever. Recorded at the height of his standup popularity, the master raconteur's 1968 album To Russell, My Brother, Whom l Slept With is a fine example of the multi-talented veteran's effortless mastery. Cosby discusses 'Baseball' and 'Conflict' with his usual blend of impishly winsome insight and flat-out yuks. The 27-minute title track, a memorable meditation on the joys and terrors of ...
