| 1. |  | All That Jazz (1979 Film) from Polygram UK Price: $9.98 Customer Review:  Since I adore the movie, I can't help but love the soundtrack to All That Jazz. I'm not sure this CD would move every listener as it does me, but I see every scene as I listen and can't help but dance along now and then. Like the movie, this soundtrack is bittersweet and very raw in some places,... |

| 3. |  | Li'l Abner (1956 Original Broadway Cast) by Edith Adams Price: $9.99 Customer Review: Rollicking is the best description of this musical's score. Sure, there are the melodic moments, like "Love in a Home" and "Namely You." But the numbers that make this musical unique are things like "Jubilation T. Cornpone" and "Put 'em Back the Way They Was." I do not understand why Peter... |

| 4. | [no image] | Lorelei (1974 Original Broadway Cast and 1973 Touring Cast) by Jule Styne Customer Review:  I saw this show on Broadway some years ago. It is great to have it available on cd at last. Although the show didn't get good reviews, when it opened I thought it was in fact better than the original Gentlemen Prefer Blonds... For sure this cd has more songs and better sound than the original... |

| 5. |  | Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake / The Nutcracker / The Sleeping Beauty (Complete Recordings) - Boston Symphony Orchestra / Seiji Ozawa / Russian National Orchestra / Mikhail Pletnev from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $39.98 Customer Review:  This is a frustrating box set of Tchaikovsky ballets. There's no arguing against the good recorded sound, which captures the elegance of the BSO and the refinement of the Russian Naitonal Orchestra. Both ensembles play very well, so there's no arguing about the pleasure of hearing such perfect... |

| 6. |  | Handel: The Masterworks (Box Set) from Brilliant Classics Price: $152.99 Customer Review:  Both Amazon and Brilliant Classics' own site neglect to specify the contents. Most instrumental works are here (except keyboard suites) but of over 20 English oratorios, the crown of Handel's work, only 3 (Messiah, Jephtha, and Belshazzar - the last sung in German!)and of 44 Italian operas only 3... |

| 8. |  | Gilbert and Sullivan / Mackerras, Welsh National Opera by Sir Charles Mackerras Price: $69.98 Customer Review: The Mackerras/Telarc has been praised incessantly ever since its release. I understand the praise very well; still, I wouldn't want to be without my other Gilbert & Sullivan recordings of these operas. (After being a G&S nut a while, you start to think of the operas chronologically, so... |

| 9. |  | Albert Herring by Britten Price: $12.97 Customer Review: This is about as good a recording of Britten's charming and amusing "Albert Herring" as we are ever likely to find. The conductor, cast and orchestra (such as it is) are all very fine and perfectly suited to the needs of the piece. The sound reproduction is fully up to contemporary digital... |

| 10. |  | Mozart - L'oca del Cairo / Fischer-Dieskau, Wiens, P. Schreier, D. Johnson, Coburn, P. Schreier ~ Lo Sposo deluso / Grant, Palmer, Rolfe Johnson, Tear, Cotrubas, C. Davis by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Price: $11.98 Customer Review:  This "L'oca del Cairo" is all but a great opera. Actually one wonders how was that in a few years, Mozart would write such masterpieces as "Figaro", "Don Giovanni", and the "Zauberflote". Music is pretty boring, with all the stereotypes of Opera Buffa, but without that sort of 'wit' Mozart's music... |

| 11. |  | Tippett: King Priam from Chandos Price: $39.98 Customer Review: Tippett and Britten were composers who, though very different in temperment and style, had many interests in common. One of the overiding concerns with both composers was the moral response to war and it's horrors. For Britten, the War Requiem and Owen Wingrave are his very clear moral response to... |

| 12. |  | Poulenc: The Carmelites from Chandos Price: $31.98 Customer Review: When the Met did its first production of Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites in 1977, there was only one recording of this opera available in the U.S., the one recorded during the composer's lifetime. Then came a video from Australia in the late '80s, a spiffy new CD set from the Lyon Opera in... |

| 13. |  | Offenbach - Les contes d'Hoffmann / Araiza, Ramey, Lind, Studer, J. Norman, von Otter, Staatskapelle Dresden, Tate by Jacques Offenbach Price: $50.98 Customer Review: To keep it short...I own several different versions of Hoffmann. This one is simply the best. Great production, orchestration and vocals of course. Every currently available version of this opera has its flaws. I'm still at a loss to find one here though. Absolutely stunning. As an added bonus, you... |

| 14. |  | Psalms of David Complete by Choir of St Paul's Cathedral Price: $155.98 Customer Review: This is a monumental achievement and to be commended. My only comment is that the recording was done in St. Paul's Cathedral where the sound is very resonant. This makes the feel very "churchy" which is nice for the experience of the music. But, I like these recordings for devotional use and... |

| 16. |  | Gilbert & Sullivan: The Yeomen of the Guard; Trial by Jury from Telarc Price: $26.98 Customer Review: "The Yeomen of the Guard" was the nearest thing G&S came to writing a "serious" opera. Sullivan was fed up with the typical "topsy-turvy" Gilbert plot - and for once got a (fairly) sensible one instead. No gimmicks (for once) - just a funny, romantic little play - with a hint of sentimental... |

| 21. |  | The Mozart Experience from Philips Price: $39.98 Customer Review: When it comes to to Mozart, I am very picky, to say the least. Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of Saint Martins-in-the-Fields has, with the exception of 2 or 3 times, always come through with remarkable recordings. The Mozart Experience is truly wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the two piano... |

In a sense, that's what I got. Unfortunately, this large quantity of music was at a very, very low quality. Whether the trouble was in the Orchestrae themselves, the recording process, or the... |

It took some time to track down, in truth - and now it has competition from Hickox on Chandos, but I still feel that this recording has the edge. Not least is this due to Bedford, who has Britten in his blood, and understands all the intricacies of the... |
