Audio Mixers: Al Schmitt; Tony Black. Liner Note Author: Theodore S. Chapin. Recording information: Hit Factory Studios, New York, NY. Photographer: Joan Marcus. This is the fourth recording of A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum, following the 1962 original Broadway cast album, the 1963 original London cast album, and the 1966 soundtrack album. Two of those three earlier recordings starred Zero Mostel as Pseudolus, the Roman slave who longs to be free, and though other performers have played the part, Mostel's remains the defining portrayal. This revival cast is led by Nathan Lane, and the differences between him and Mostel highlight the differences between the revival and the original. Mostel was a scenery-chewing ham with a tragic edge -- there was an element of self-abasement in his humor that made you uncomfortable even as you laughed all the harder. He came out of a vaudeville and Yiddish theater tradition that added depth to every line. Lane is closer to the Catskills than the Lower East Side, and more a creature of the post-'60s smirking humor of David Letterman than either. His Pseudolus is light and elegant, where Mostel was earthy and almost vulgar. A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum is nearly bulletproof in terms of performance; it's hard to do it badly. Lane and the revival cast perform it efficiently and with flair...Fans of Stephen Sondheim and of the show will have to have this, of course... ~ William Ruhlmann

The Adventures of Marco Polo [Original Television Cast] by Original Soundtrack/Original TV Soundtrac
"The Adventures of Marco Polo [Original Television Cast]" (05/06/2003) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, DRG (USA)Music composed by Clay Warwick and Mel Pahl. Lyrics written by Edward Eager. Principal cast: Alred Drake, Doretta Morrow, Ray Drakeley, Paul Ukena. Recorded on March 30, 1956. Originally released on Colombia Masterworks (ML 5111). Recording information: 03/30/1956. Director: Max Liebman. Unknown Contributor Roles: Doretta Morrow; Paul Ukena, Jr.; Alfred Drake. In the spring of 1956, Alfred Drake, the veteran Broadway star known for his starring roles in Oklahoma! and Kiss Me, Kate, and Doretta Morrow, who had also appeared in shows and films, were just finishing a run on Broadway and in London in Kismet that had continued since the musical opened in December 1953. That show, a tale of the East in which the music was adapted from Borodin, must have seemed perfect preparation for their participation in the television musical The Adventures of Marco Polo, another tale of the East in which Clay Warnick and Mel Pahl's music was based on themes borrowed from Rimsky-Korsakov. And so they were. Planned as a one-hour live TV show, the musical adapted well to a Columbia Masterworks LP. The small cast -- consisting of the two principals (Drake, of course, was Polo; Morrow was several different women), two supporting actors, and a chorus -- recorded a cast album on March 30, two weeks before the April 14 broadcast on NBC. As part of the production, Drake as Polo provided spoken bridging material that makes his peripatetic, episodic story comprehensible even to the listener without access to the TV program. Edward Eager's lyrics are adequate, if not quite as clever as he may have supposed them to be, and he is assisted mightily by Drake, turning in a typically commanding performance, and by Morrow, who handles the many ballads well. Polo gets into and out of one scrape after another with humor and bravado, and the show follows his story well. The cast album disappeared for decades before being brought into the digital age by DRG on CD in 2003; the restoration should inspire new productions. Theater fans should rejoice at having a lost album featuring Drake and Morrow back in print. ~ William Ruhlmann

Baker Street [Original Broadway Cast Album] [Remaster] by Original 1943 Broadway Cast/Original Sound
"Baker Street [Original Broadway Cast Album] [Remaster]" (05/16/2000) Soundtracks Original Cast, PolygramMusic composed by Richard Rodgers. Lyrics written by Oscar Hammerstein II. Principal cast includes: Alfred Drake (Curly); Celeste Holm (Ado Annie Carnes); Joan Roberts (Laurey); Howard Da Silva (Jud Fry); Lee Dixon (Will Parker). Reissue producers: Andy McKaie, Ron O'Brien, Max O. Preeo. Recorded in 1943 and 1944. Originally released on the Decca label. Includes liner notes by Max O. Preeo. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Personnel: Kate Friedlich, Bambi Linn (vocals, dancer); Howard Da Silva, Lee Dixon, John Baum, Ellen Love, Ralph Riggs, Suzanne Lloyd, Elsie Arnold, Betty Garde, Joseph Buloff, Hayes Gordon, Edwin Clay, Paul Shiers, Faye Smith, Robert Penn, Vivienne Simon, Barry Kelley, Lee Dixion, Harvey Brown , Herbert Rissman, Dorothea MacFarland, Carl Nelson, Virginia Oswald, Joan Roberts, Alfred Drake, Marc Platt, Celeste Holm (vocals); Kenneth Buffet, Ray Harrison, Bobby Barrentine, Billie Zay, Diana Adams, Margit Dekova (dancer). Liner Note Authors: Louis Untermeyer; Max O. Preeo. Recording information: 10/20/1943-05/24/1944. Photographer: Brad Bennett. Rodgers & Hammerstein's adaptation of Lynn Riggs' play GREE GROW THE LILACS marked the birth of the modern musical. Music, lyrics, and choreography came together as never before to tell a uniquely American story, and enthralled audiences flocked to the show, breaking Broadway box-office records. In keeping with the production's pioneering spirit, it was also the first instance in which the entire cast was brought to the studio to record the show's musical numbers, thus originating the original cast recording. The concept proved highly successful--it wasn't long after the initial release of six-discs of 78s that another release featuring several songs not included in original set was brought to market. Eventually, the recording was transferred to LP, but without the additional songs; not until the 50th anniversary CD reissue were all the tracks available in one place. While most of the cast, with the possible exception of Celeste Holme, may no longer be well known, the songs are immortal. "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," "Surrey With the Fringe on Top," and, of course, "Oklahoma" are classics of American song. If there is any question as to what has made this show a classic, the answer is right here.

Sex and Luc¡a (Original Soundtrack) by Original Soundtrack/Alberto Iglesias (CD - 09/01/2004)
"Sex and Luc¡a (Original Soundtrack)" (09/01/2004) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, PalmOriginal score composed by Alberto Iglesias. The soundtrack to Julio Medem's critically acclaimed film Sex & Lucia features an original score by Alberto Iglesias and songs by Fangoria, Carlos Jean, and Mala Rodriguez. Iglesias' score takes a minimal approach, emphasizing ambient drones and brooding arrangements that emphasize the film's atmosphere of sensual longing. Pieces like "?Y Por Qu? Te Voy a Creer?," "Bajo la Isla," "Encuentro," and "El Deseo de la Sangre" take the score's eerie eroticism to an extreme, while orchestral passages such as "?Puedo Hablar Contigo?," "Fotos," and "Lucia" balance their lush, slightly retro arrangements with a whimsical poignancy. Overall, the score carries on the movie's haunted feel, but is surprisingly evocative and listenable outside of that context. The pop songs at the end of the soundtrack tend to break the spell cast by Iglesias' hypnotic score, but offer some delights in their own right: Fangoria's "Mr. Hyde Visita el Tunel del Amor" sounds a bit like dance-pop sung by a Spanish Siouxsie Sioux, while Jean's "Give Me the Seventies" has an appropriately funky flair. While Sex and Lucia might not be the most cohesive soundtrack, Iglesias' powerful score more than makes up for any unevenness in the rest of the album. ~ Heather Phares

Battlestar Galactica Season One
"Battlestar Galactica: Season One [Sci Fi Channel Series]" (06/21/2005) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, La-La Land RecordsComposer: Bear McCreary. Personnel: Ken Stacey, Brendan McCreary, Michael Now, Lillis O Laoire (vocals). Audio Mixers: Steve Kaplan; Gordon Fordyce. What with the scores John Williams has penned for the Star Wars movies and those of Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, and others for the Star Trek films, you'd think it was settled that the music of science fiction involves grand themes and lush orchestral arrangements reminiscent of European classical music. But Bear McCreary, who has taken on the task of scoring the second television series to be called Battlestar Galactica (a sort of "next generation" sequel to the 1978 series), has a very different view. To McCreary, space music can sound like almost any earth-bound style, although he is particularly fond of drums. Martial drums, Burundi-style drums, tympani, marching band drums, you name it, McCreary likes it, and he devotes many of the 30 cues on Battlestar Galactica: Season One (78 minutes culled from over five hours of music heard on the first season of the show) to percussion showcases. But that's not all by a long shot. Determined to demonstrate his mastery of musical styles, McCreary writes faux opera ("Battlestar Operatica"), muzak ("Battlestar Muzaktica"), string quartets ("The Dinner Party"), Celtic music ("Wander My Friends"), and more, bringing in vocalists here and there to sing in Latin, Gaelic, and Italian. Now and then, he also gives us echoey, electronic interludes that actually suggest the science fiction setting of the series. But all of these are just side trips in the main percussion fest that to McCreary is what battlestars should sound like banging around in the great beyond. In space, it seems, everyone can hear you drum. ~ William Ruhlmann

The Wedding Planner by Original Soundtrack (CD - 01/23/2001)
"The Wedding Planner" (01/23/2001) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Hollywood RecordsOriginal score composed by Mervyn Warren. Recording information: Bastyr Chapel, Seattle, WA; Leapyear Studio, Los Angeles, CA. Arranger: Mervyn Warren. Director Adam Shankman conceived this Jennifer Lopez/Matthew McConaughey vehicle as an old-fashioned romantic musical comedy in the spirit of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. (Interesting historical note: this is probably the only album ever made that includes--or will include--the phrase "This album does not include a Jennifer Lopez recording" on its back cover). This commercially canny mix of contemporary pop stylings features Sister Hazel's post-Hootie "We'll Find It," alt-rock/hip-hop fusion in the form of Jessica Riddle's "Symphony," with its sample of Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff," R&B balladry (the Goffin-King obscurity "Somewhere My Baby Waits for Me," sung soulfully by Lisa Stansfield), and sentimental '70s pop hits such as John Denver's "Annie's Song" and Olivia Newton John's "I Honestly Love You." There are also a few selections from Mervyn Warren's original film score, the most memorable of which is "Mary and Steve's Tango," heard during the picture's big Lopez/McConaughey dance scene.
