Elf [Orignal Soundtrack] by Original Soundtrack (CD - 11/04/2003)
"Elf [Orignal Soundtrack]" (11/04/2003) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, New Line RecordsOriginal score composed by John Debney. Reflecting the warmth and personality Jon Favreau brought to his holiday comedy Elf, the movie's soundtrack features a dozen Christmas and holiday songs picked by Favreau. Most of these songs have a retro appeal, including Louis Prima's "Pennies From Heaven," Ella Fitzgerald's "Sleigh Ride," and Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby." Leon Redbone appears on three of the tracks, "Winter Wonderland," "Christmas Island," and in a duet of "Baby It's Cold Outside" with Zooey Deschanel. Other highlights include Brian Setzer's lounge and rockabilly tinged "Nutcracker Suite," Ferrante & Teicher/Les Baxters' "Sleigh Ride"/Santa Claus Party," and Billy Preston's "Nothing From Nothing." A charming soundtrack, Elf also manages to outclass many Christmas albums in terms of holiday cheer. ~ Heather Phares

Love Actually by Original Soundtrack (CD - 11/11/2003)
"Love Actually" (11/11/2003) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, J-Records (USA)Includes liner notes by Richard Curtis. In the liner notes that accompany the soundtrack to LOVE ACTUALLY, the movie's director Richard Curtis writes that the songs here are the "life and soul of the film." This perspective is naturally a welcome change from the often-mercenary and seemingly random perspective that plagues many original soundtrack releases. One listen quickly verifies Curtis' claim, as the disc is filled with unabashedly romantic modern pop. Anyone who's seen comedies starring Hugh Grant knows his trademark combination of self-effacing, witty humor and slightly sophisticated regular-guy appeal. The music here (including artists such as the Beach Boys and Norah Jones) sounds exactly like what one might imagine a Grant character would be listening to on his home stereo. From the melancholy electronica-framed strains of Dido's gorgeous "Here with Me" to Joni Mitchell's world-wizened, contemporary take on her classic "Both Sides Now," the material on LOVE ACTUALLY perfectly suits the film's warmly humorous take on one of life's most joyous and confusing subjects.

The Phantom of the Opera [Original Cast] by Original American/Original Soundtrack/London Casts (CD -
"The Phantom of the Opera [Original Cast]" (11/23/2004) Pop Vocal Original Cast, Sony Music Distribution (USA)Music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Lyrics by Charles Hart. Principal cast: Michael Crawford (The Phantom Of The Opera); Sarah Brightman (Christine Daae); Steve Barton (Raoul); John Savident (Monsieur Firmin); David Firth (Monsieur Andre); Rosemary Ashe (Carlotta Giudicelli); Mary Millar (Madame Giry); John Aron (Ubaldo Piangi); Paul Arden Griffith (Monsieur Reyer); Barry Clark (auctioneer); David De Van (Porter/Marksman/Fop); Janet Devenish (Meg Giry); David Jackson (Monsieur Lefervre); Janos Kurucz (Joseph Buquet); James Patterson (Don Attilio/Passarino); Peter Bishop (Slave Master); Justin Church (Flunky/Stagehand); Mostyn Evans (Policeman); Sue Flannery, Janet Howd (Page); Andrew Golder (Porter/Fireman); Peggy Ann Jones (Wardrobe Mistress/Confidante); Maria Kesselman (Princess); Patricia Richards (Madame Firmin); Jill Washington (Inkeeper's Wife). Recorded at EMI Studios & Audio International, London, England. Includes liner notes by Andrew Lloyd Webber. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Composer: Andrew Lloyd Webber. It's a testament to Andrew Lloyd Webber's crowd-pleasing compositional skills that the original cast recording of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA went on to become the biggest-selling cast album ever. So when the time came to adapt his music for the film version of the monumentally successful theatrical work, Webber enlisted the aid of longtime collaborators Nigel Wright and Simon Lee. They produced an expanded orchestral version of the score, grander and more sumptuous than the original, and assembled a 100-member ensemble to do it justice. However, the tragic story of the disfigured Phantom and Christine, the beautiful object of his desire, cannot be told without powerful performances of those roles. Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum quickly dispel any concerns regarding the adequacy of their portrayals. Butler's full-blooded renditions of "The Music of the Night" and the title song are tinged with a dark eroticism, while Rossum's account of "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" skillfully conveys her character's vulnerability and conflicted feelings. The soundtrack also features a newly penned song by Webber, the poignant "Learn to Be Lonely," sung by Minnie Driver, who appears in the role of Carlotta in the film.

"TV Land Presents Favorite TV Theme Songs" (08/20/2002) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Rhino Records (USA)Compilation producers: Karen Ahmed, Hillary Bratton, Reggie Collins. Includes liner notes by Tim Scanlin. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Over the years, there have been plenty of compilations of television theme songs, but for scope, selection, and value, none beat Rhino's 2002 collection, TV Land Presents Favorite TV Theme Songs. Containing a generous 40 tracks, the disc runs the gamut from I Love Lucy to The Golden Girls (after the '80s, theme songs kind of faded away from network TV, replaced by jingles on Seinfeld and Frasier, though Friends, The Simpsons, The Sopranos, and Six Feet Under all had themes worthy of inclusion in a future volume of this kind), and it hits nearly all of the big, memorable themes, including The Twilight Zone, Bonanza, Batman, Star Trek, The Brady Bunch, "Movin' On Up," The Rockford Files, Barney Miller, Chico and the Man, "Theme from the Dukes of Hazzard," and "Theme from Greatest American Hero (Believe it or Not)," among others. Really, the only major theme missing is that from WKRP In Cincinnati, but given the number of tracks on this compilation, it's hard to carp about absences, particularly since the fidelity is about as good as it could be. This isn't the kind of collection that you'd listen to all that often, but it's nice to have it around whenever you need a fix of nostalgia. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Gone with the Wind [CBS] by Original Soundtrack/Max Steiner (CD - 06/24/1997)
"Gone with the Wind [CBS]" (06/24/1997) Rock & Pop Original Soundtrack, Turner Classic Movies MusicAll tracks have been digitally remastered. Includes liner notes by Rudy Behlmer. Original score written by Max Steiner. This issue of GONE WITH THE WIND is a "best of" sampler from the Turner Classic Movies 2-CD soundtrack released in September 1996. Includes liner notes by Rudy Behlmer and Max Steiner. All tracks have been digitally remastered. The soundtrack to Gone with the Wind has appeared in numerous forms since its first release on LP in the 1950s. The 1990 CBS/Sony reissue was the second attempt to expand its content significantly, adding some incidental music and refining the sound that appeared on the previous MGM and Polydor versions. Most of it works if one allows for the sheer age of the materials involved -- Gone with the Wind is just about the oldest original soundtrack material that has any significant commercial appeal beyond a cult audience and, having been recorded in 1939, it has never fit entirely well into the modern marketplace. The producers here have tried to clean it up with various filters and other sound processing, which generally makes it easier on the ear. No re-recording of "Tara's Theme" or other memorable elements of the score were ever as well conducted as the original (even when composer Max Steiner himself attempted it in the '50s), and the sound is less ragged here than on earlier versions. The Rhino reissue from 1996 improves it yet further, though there will always be something lacking in some of the source material, in terms of modern fidelity and what contemporary listeners expect. ~ Bruce Eder

For the soundtrack to Pixar's charming computer-animated movie CARS, the company once again enlisted its go-to composer, Randy Newman, though this time around the veteran singer-songwriter sticks solely to a vibrant instrumental score (as opposed to his pop songs for TOY STORY, MONSTERS INC., etc.). Other artists featured on the album include Sheryl Crow (the revved-up "Real Gone") and Brad Paisley (the twangy, relaxed "Behind the Clouds" and "Find Yourself"), along with Chuck Berry and John Mayer, who each offer up a different take on the cruising classic "Route 66."

The Wedding Singer [Original Cast] by Original Broadway Recording/Original Soundtrack (CD - 06/06/20
"The Wedding Singer [Original Cast]" (06/06/2006) Soundtracks Original Cast, Sony Classical Essential ClassicsComposer: Matthew Sklar. Composers: Tim Herlihy; Adam Sandler. Lyricist: Chad Beguelin. Lyricist: Chad Beguelin. Personnel: Stephen Lynch (vocals, guitar); Matt Allen, Christina Sivrich, Matthew Saldivar, Adinah Alexander, Angelique Ilo, Spencer Liff, J. Elaine Marcos, Ashley Amber Haase, David Josefsberg, T. Oliver Reid, Tina Maddigan, Peter Kapetan, Tracee Beazer, Felicia Finley, Nicolette Hart, Matthew Stocke, Eric LaJuan Summers, Mike McGurk, Kevin Kern, Laura Benanti, Amy Spanger, Rita Gardner, Kevin Cahoon, James Sampliner (vocals); John Putnam, Larry Saltzman, Gary Sieger (guitar); Clifford Lyons, Jack Bashkow (reeds); Trevor Neumann (trumpet); John Samorian, Jon Werking (keyboards); Warren Odze (drums); Jim Saporito (percussion). Audio Mixer: David Leonard. Recording information: Right Track Studio 509A, New York, NY; Sony Music Studios, New York, NY. Director: John Rando. Editor: Larry Kerr. Photographer: Joan Marcus. Arranger: David Chase. Bear in mind the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" as the release of the soundtrack to the Broadway musical The Wedding Singer makes its splash on Broadway quite similar to the way the movie of the same name did, only with more music. The Wedding Singer is exactly based on the Adam Sandler movie, set in the '80s. Therefore, the album is filled with '80s references to music, games, events, and even business (In one song, the idea of investing in New Coke is suggested). The retro humor and music style, featuring electric pop sounds and hardcore rock beats, is refreshing; Wedding Singer doesn't play up a "Classic Broadway" sound, but rather offers a cute spin on the genre with Stephen Lynch at the helm, whose portrayal of Robbie Hart is endearing and amusing, even on record. Many of the songs are playable on disc without a staged visual, since anyone who's seen the movie can imagine what this might look like on-stage. However, large numbers such as "Saturday Night in the City," with its spaced out arrangement, and the finale (which, due to the appearance of so many new voices and characters, including a Filipino impersonator, becomes confusing and awkward) provide musical missteps that work wonderfully on-stage but do not transition properly on record. Many of the strongest recordings are actually from the movie, since they were originally composed by Sandler himself; as a comedic writer, he creates magic with "Grow Old with You" and "Somebody Kill Me," even if they aren't the most melodically challenging. Plus, there is only one genuinely show-stopping number, the opening track "It's Your Wedding Day," which gets an equally strong reprise at the end of the show. Overall, the cast recording is a feel-good sampling of the retro that you may have grown to love and miss, and the humor that is served in dollops is appreciated and enjoyed, even if the musical overall isn't overly original or critically acclaimed. Much like the original movie, The Wedding Singer doesn't attempt to change the world, rather, to tell the story of a boy and a girl who fall in love in the kinda-new old way. ~ Matthew Chisling

Jesus Christ Superstar [Remaster] by Original Soundtrack/Andrew Lloyd Webber (CD - 09/24/1996)
"Jesus Christ Superstar [Remaster]" (09/24/1996) Pop Vocal Original Soundtrack, MCA Records (USA)Music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Lyrics by Tim Rice. Principal cast: Murray Head (Judas Iscariot); Ian Gillan (Jesus Christ); Yvonne Elliman (Mary Magdalene); Paul Raven (Priest); Mike D'Abo (King Herod). Personnel includes: Ian Gillian, Murray Head. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Principle cast: Steve Balsamo (Jesus Christ), Zubin Varla (Judas Iscariot), Joanna Ampil (Mary Magdalene), David Burt (Pontius Pilate), Alice Cooper (King Herod), Jonathan Hart (Peter), Glen Carter (Simon Zealotes), Peter Gallagher (Caiaphas, High Priest), Martin Callaghan (Annas). Producers: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Nigel Wright, Tim Rice. Conceived by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice while the British duo were still in their early 20s, the rock opera JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR was released in 1970 as a studio album before its many subsequent stage productions. Featuring Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan as Jesus and Murray Head as Judas, this recording presents the initial versions of these well-known Broadway tunes, including the funky, frenetic "What's the Buzz?/Strange Thing Mystifying" and "The Temple," a hauntingly chaotic number. Although other productions of the musical are highly regarded, this original version is arguably the best.
