"In Hollywood, Vol. 2: 1930-1934" (03/14/2006) Pop Vocal Crosby, Bing, Collectables RecordsRecorded in 1933-34. When Columbia Records released the double-LP Bing Crosby in Hollywood in the fall of 1967 as the flagship album in its Hall of Fame reissue series, it was the first comprehensive collection of Crosby recordings from the company's vaults. Crosby recorded for Columbia as singer with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra from 1928 to 1930, and his recordings for Brunswick Records from late 1931 to mid-1934 ended up in Columbia's possession when the Brunswick catalog was divided up and sold off. Columbia had attempted a few compilations in the late 1940s and '50s, but nothing like this: compiler/annotator Miles Krueger assembled a 32-track selection of commercial recordings made in connection with Crosby's early films, among them some of his biggest hits of the early 1930s. The scholarly approach was a precursor to the kind of reissues that started to be done in the CD era. Collectables Records has chosen to reissue the set in two separate volumes, which diminishes its value slightly, at least if you don't buy both of them. The second disc begins halfway through the tracks from 1933's Too Much Harmony, meaning that the date range in the title, 1930-1934, is now inaccurate, as is Kreuger's statement that, "This album contains, without exception, every recording [Crosby] made commercially from all the feature films in which he appeared, from his modest screen debut in The King of Jazz, in 1930, through his eminent screen stardom in She Loves Me Not, in 1934." That's what you'll have if you buy both volumes; here, you get exactly half of it. ~ William Ruhlmann

"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.

"The Lion King [Special Edition]" (09/30/2003) Pop Vocal Original Cast, Walt DisneyThis is a Hyper CD, which contains which contains regular audio tracks and also provides a link to the artist's website with the help of a web browser. Producers: Hans Zimmer, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Chris Thomas. Compilation producer: Steven Stern. Principally recorded at Media Ventures and Ocean Way Studios, Los Angeles, California; Townhouse Studio, London, England; BPO Studios, Mmabatho, South Africa. All songs written by Tim Rice and Elton John. Instrumental score written by Hans Zimmer. "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance; "Circle Of Life" won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocals; and THE LION KING won the Grammy for Best Musical Album For Children. "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and "Circle Of Life" were also both nominated for Song Of The Year and Best Song Written Specifically For A Motion Picture Or Television; and the album's instrumental tracks were nominated for Best Instrumental Composition Written For A Motion Picture Or For Television. The heady influence of Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, David Byrne--and all the other musicians who've introduced pop fans to the sounds and style of Africa--resonate subtly throughout the Hollywood flourishes of THE LION KING. Part of THE LION KING's appeal can be traced to Hans Zimmer's imagistic evocative instrumental score. Instrumental excerpts such as "This Land" and "Under The Stars" are a vibrant amalgam of lush orchestral passages with flashes of idiomatic African vocal colors and ceremonial percussive textures (while "King Of Pride Rock" echoes elements of Mozart's REQUIEM and traditional African six-beat rhythms). But it's THE LION KING's comic operetta songs and the Elton John/Tim Rice pop miniatures that ultimately distinguish this soundtrack and give it fresh legs for all holiday seasons. John's philosophical ruminations on "The Circle Of Life" are framed by power pop on a grand scale, with huge reverberant drum accents and massive sampled choruses and strings. But "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" is this collection's most engaging song, a sort of Afro-Rockabilly groove, tinted by the gospelish drive of John's Little Richard style piano. Principal Cast: Tsidii Le Loka (Rafiki); Samuel E. Wright (Mufasa); Gina Breedlove (Sarabi); Geoff Hoyle (Zazu); John Vickery (Scar); Scott Irby-Ranniar (Young Simba); Kajuana Shuford (Young Nala); Tracy Nicole Chapman (Shenzi); Stanley Wayne Mathis (Banzai); Kevin Cahoon (Ed); Max Casella (Timon); Tom Alan Robbins (Pumbaa); Jason Raize (Simba); Heather Headley (Nala). Producers: Mark Mancina, Lebo M, Jay Rifkin. Recorded at Sony Music Studios, New York, New York. THE LION KING won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album.

"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.

"Carousel [1965 Broadway Revival Cast]" (12/13/1994) Pop Vocal Original Cast, RCA Victor Records (USA)Principle cast includes: John Raitt, Eileen Christy. Richard Rodgers was the president and producing director of the Music Theater of Lincoln Center, a repertory organization that put on limited-run, summer revivals of Broadway musicals at the newly opened Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City in the 1960s. One of the shows for 1965 was Rodgers' own Carousel, marking its 20th anniversary. John Raitt, the original male lead, returned to the role he had originated. The show opened on August 10 and was well-received. RCA Victor, which contracted to record many of the Lincoln Center shows, also did this one. The result was an excellent album. Carousel was recorded originally back in 1945, just at the start of the boom in original Broadway cast albums, and was designed for 78 rpm records. Even the 1956 original soundtrack album was relatively brief. But this 1965 Carousel album ran over 50 minutes (very long for an LP and not bad even for the 1987 CD reissue), notably including a version of the opening scene between Billy Bigelow (Raitt) and Julie Jordan (Eileen Christy) that ran over nine-and-a-half minutes. As such, this was the most complete version of the score yet released. The 48-year-old Raitt, with many performances of the show under his belt, was more mannered than the 28-year-old Raitt had been, but he still owned the role, and the rest of the cast was good. With Rodgers looking on, this Carousel outdistanced the 1956 movie soundtrack, and, if it was not as fresh as the original Broadway cast recording, came a close second. ~ William Ruhlmann

"Michael Bubl?" (02/11/2003) Pop Vocal Buble, Michael, RepriseThis is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel: Michael Buble, Sherree Ford (vocals); David Foster (arranger, piano, synthesizer); Dean Parks (acoustic & electric guitars, percussion); Heitor Padilla (acoustic guitar); Michael Thompson, John Pisano (guitar); Bob Sheppard, Dave Boroff (saxophone); Gary Grant (trumpet); Randy Waldman (piano, keyboards); Brian Bromberg (bass); Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Tull, Frank Capp, Joe Labarbera (drums); Raffael Padilla (percussion); Jochem Van Der Saag, Neil Devor, Felipe Elgueta (programming); Barry Gibb (background vocals). Producers: David Foster, Humberto Gatica, Johnny Mandel. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel: Jochem van der Saag (programming). Right off the bat, Michael Buble has you in his corner just because you know people have been calling the poor guy "Bubble" all his life (keep that accent on the second syllable, folks). Nomenclature aside, Buble's debut album positions him as something of a Harry Connick, Jr. for the 21st century. His husky croon gives him a bearing beyond his tender years, and in fact his Sinatra-phrased, pop-jazz style bears strong echoes of Connick's singing. Accordingly, the production leans heavily on the updated swing of chestnuts like "Fever" and "Come Fly With Me," but that's only part of the story. As a modern song stylist, Buble digs into the standards of a more contemporary songbook as well. George Michael's jazzy ballad "Kissing a Ballad" has been a standard-in-waiting for some time, and a version of the Bee Gees' soulful ballad "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" features a guest turn by Barry Gibb himself. And there are worse things that could happen to Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life" than to be given the big-band treatment. It's refreshing to hear the debut of a young singer who's simply applying a strong voice and style to quality songs instead of cynically treading the teen-pop treadmill.

"Amore" (01/31/2006) Pop Vocal Bocelli, Andrea, Universal ClassicsPersonnel: Dean Parks, Michael Landau, Ramon Stagnaro, Michael Thompson (guitars); Dan Higgins (flute); David Foster , Randy Waldman (piano, keyboards); Nathan East (bass instrument); Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Paulinho Da Costa, Rafael Padilla (percussion). Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli's cross-over success was firmly solidified long before the 2006 release of AMORE, and here, the singer casts an even wider net. Bocelli's voice is tailor-made for sensual romantic balladry, and naturally those songs abound. However, while past outings were marked by dramatic, though fairly straightforward orchestration and a crisp studio gloss, AMORE finds Bocelli utilizing a more diverse musical palette, including Spanish guitars, accordion, harmonica (courtesy of Stevie Wonder), saxophone (Kenny G), and--watch out--pop music's favorite nasty girl, Christina Aguilera. With superstar producer David Foster at the helm, the Tuscan-born singer selects a collection of pop standards from the ages and from around the world, including "Les Feuilles Mortes (Autumn Leaves)," "Somos Novios (It's Impossible)," and "Solamente Una Vez." And while Bocelli's voice may be best suited for classical music and light opera, he handles these songs with the passion, skill, and grace fans have come to expect from him. AMORE is a brilliant move for Bocelli: the songs are targeted to a wider group of listeners and yet they have something for his original fans as well--in a word, his voice.

"Wicked" (12/16/2003) Pop Vocal Original Cast, Decca (USA)Principal cast includes: Kristin Chenowith (Galinda, Glinda); Sean McCourt (Witch's Father); Cristy Canlder (Witch's Mother); Jan Neuberger (Midwife); Idina Menzel (Elphaba); Michelle Federer (Nessarose); Christopher Fitzgerald (Boq); Carole Shelley (Madame Morrible); William Youmans (Doctor Dillamond); Norbert Leo Butz (Fiyero); Sean McCourt (Ozian Official); Joel Grey (The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz); Manuel Herrera (Chistery). Recorded at Right Track Studios, New York, New York. Based on Gregory Maguire's novel of the same name, the Broadway musical WICKED creates a history for the two witches from L. Frank Baum's OZ books. Through composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz's emotive songs, the show reveals the unlikely friendship between Elphaba (Idina Menzel), who eventually becomes the Wicked Witch, and Glinda (Kristin Chenoweth), the Good Witch. The dramatic, horn-laden "No One Mourns the Wicked" starts the story in striking fashion, with the death of the ruby-slipper-wearing Wicked Witch. As Glinda appears, Elphaba's backstory begins, leading to jaunty numbers like "Popular" and "Defying Gravity," as well as ballads such as "I'm Not That Girl" and "For Good," with Menzel and Chenoweth showing off their substantial vocal chops. Adding to the boisterous energy is musical theater veteran Joel Grey, who brings a bit of Broadway's past to his role as the Wizard.

"Come Fly with Me" (03/30/2004) Pop Vocal Buble, Michael, RepriseThis release includes a bonus DVD featuring backstage and interview footage, and concert performances from New York, London, Hollywood and South Africa. As with many emerging artists, Michael Buble is still developing a distinctive style of his own on COME FLY WITH ME. Regardless of that minor detail, what Buble does know is who he is as a performer, and what he wants to do with his considerable vocal talent. Reviving tunes made famous by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, Elvis Presley, and Bobby Darin, Buble sings each melody with a fetching blend of deep respect and fresh-faced enthusiasm. And he has got the chops to back it all up--Buble is blessed with a sleek, warm tone in the tradition of the aforementioned royalty, as well as an undeniable ability to swing. Coming out backed by a full big band with punchy arrangements is one of his secret weapons--the guy surrounds himself with many like-minded musicians of an extremely high caliber. Highlights include a lightly swaying "My Funny Valentine" and a rousing yet nuanced take on "Nice 'N Easy."

"Sings the Big Ones for Young Lovers" (12/15/2004) Pop Vocal Davis, Sammy, Jr., Collectors' Choice MusicLiner Note Author: James Ritz. Sammy Davis, Jr. followed up 1964's The Shelter of Your Arms -- his highest charting long-player to date -- with this dozen-song outing, supported by some irresistible backdrops courtesy of arrangers Jimmie Haskell and Perry Botkin Jr. Rather than another collection of show tunes and standards from the American popular music canon, Sings the Big Ones for Young Lovers primarily consists of well-known covers, including a handful of early rock & roll selections such as Leiber & Stoller's "Kansas City" and the frisky and loose remake of "Walk Right In," which Davis belts and scats into an uptempo swinger. Decidedly less bombastic yet instinctually grooving is the undulating bossa nova rhythm on "Days of Wine and Roses," while Davis' mellow and easygoing take of "Deep Purple" finds the vocalist weaving around a woozy string arrangement and a steadily driving backbeat. Of equal note are the ballads that the artist so ably reinvents and, in doing so, intimately personalizes. "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" is given a brass-intensive upgrade, matching Davis' hearty intonations. By contrast, "Deep Purple" bears a noticeable Baroque feel thanks to its quaintly effective harpsichord accompaniment. Although "I Wanna Be Around" commences with a sole acoustic guitar, it isn't long before the full ensemble kicks the affair up a notch, turning in a profound and powerful moment. On the softer side, Davis updates "It's All in the Game," replacing the incessant doo wop score heard on Tommy Edwards' 1958 version with the charm and allure of an affective ballad, creating a coziness and maturity conspicuously absent from the more familiar reading. In 2004 Collectors' Choice Music issued Sings the Big Ones for Young Lovers as part of their reassessment of Sammy Davis, Jr.'s recordings on Reprise Records, marking the first time that a majority of the material had been available in several decades. ~ Lindsay Planer

"Mary Poppins (Special Editon) [Digipak] [Remaster]" (11/16/2004) Pop Vocal Original Soundtrack, Walt DisneyOriginal score composed by Robert M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. Principal cast includes: Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins); Dick Van Dyke, Glynis Johns, David Tomlinson, Karen Dotrice, Matthew Garber, Ed Wynn, The Pearlie Chorus, Richard M. Sherman, J. Pat O'Malley. Music arranged and conducted by Irwin Kostal. Producers: Ron Kidd, Randy Thornton, Ted Kryczko. Includes liner notes by Randy Thornston. Digitally remastered by Shawn Murphy, Bruce Botnick and Jeff Sheridan (Soundworks, Hollywood, California), and John Polito (Audio Mechanics, Los Angeles, California). This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Composer/Lyricists: Richard M. Sherman; Robert B. Sherman. Personnel: Dave Tomlinson, Dick Van Dyke, Ed Wynn, Glynis Johns, Julie Andrews, Elsa Lanchester. A beautifully remastered and expanded version of the soundtrack to the innovative blend of live action and animation that some critics have called MY FAIR LADY for tots and the best children's movie ever made. Hyperbole? Perhaps, but there's no doubt that MARY POPPINS is the most inventive film musical of the '60s, with a score by longtime Disney contract writers Richard and Robert Sherman that positively brims with hits ("Chim-Chimeree," "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," "A Spoonful of Sugar"). Interesting, perhaps ironic, historical footnote: The remastering here was partially supervised by Bruce Botnick, best known as the engineer on all of the Doors' albums.

"Nice 'n' Easy" (01/08/2002) Pop Vocal Sinatra, Frank, Capitol/EMI RecordsPersonnel includes: Frank Sinatra (vocals); Nelson Riddle (arranger, conductor). Recorded between May 1953 and March 1960. Includes liner notes by Pete Welding. All tracks have been digitally remastered. This is part of Capitol Records "Entertainer Of The Century" series. Personnel: Frank Sinatra (vocals); Nelson Riddle (saxophone). Liner Note Author: Pete Welding. Recording information: 03/01/1960-03/13/1960. Arranger: Nelson Riddle. This is the sound of an artist in his prime, enjoying his success and expanding on his already impressive accomplishments. By the time of NICE 'N' EASY's release in 1960, Sinatra had established himself as one of the definitive voices in popular music, and in these recordings, rather than coast on that success, he uses it as an inspirational springboard. With the exception of the title song, each cut here is a newly recorded version of a song he tackled earlier in his career, most of them originally recorded by Sinatra in the '40s. It's in the comparison between the new and old versions of the tunes that artistic achievements are most easily seen, in the maturity of both his voice and his singing style. One of the more romantic of his late '50s/early '60s recordings, NICE 'N' EASY is composed mostly of soft, sensual love ballads such as "I've Got A Crush On You" and "Embraceable You." The tunes are given heady, lighter-than-air arrangements by Nelson Riddle.

"The Very Best of Nat King Cole [Capitol] [Remaster]" (05/02/2006) Pop Vocal Cole, Nat "King", Capitol/EMI RecordsPersonnel: Nat King Cole (vocals, piano); Nat King Cole; Oscar Moore, John Collins (guitar); Harry Bluestone (violin); Lee Young, Bunny Shawker (drums); Jack Costanzo (bongos); Harry "Sweets" Edison (trumpet). Recording information: The Sands Hotel, Las Vegas, NV (11/30/1943-08/18/1964). Photographer: William Claxton. Arrangers: David Cavanaugh; Nelson Riddle. A single-disc anthology can't truly do justice to the many facets of Nat King Cole's career, but the superlative 28-track THE VERY BEST OF NAT KING COLE makes an air-tight case for the crooner as one of the greatest pop singers of the pre-rock-&-roll era. All of his hits are here, including his signature songs "Unforgettable," "Mona Lisa," and the truly mysterious yet lovely "Nature Boy," along with perhaps the definitive readings of the pop standard "Stardust" and the swing classic "Straighten Up and Fly Right." It's impossible to go wrong here.
