    Sounds of the South

    Very good summary of songs you might hear if you lived in Louisiana. The music can capture the emotions of people who like any genre of music.
    A Love Song for Bobby Long

    Not only was the movie good, the music is better. The mix of light blues and almost hillbilly roots style makes for great listening. There are names I've never heard of but voices I want to hear more of.
    Got it all right

    This CD beautifully captures the sounds and feelings of the south. This is one of my favorite CDs. The music is beautiful and deep. There is enough variety to please most.

    The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (2005 Original Broadway Cast)
    When was the last time you heard a musical with a truly hilarious book? Rachel Sheinkin has concocted such a thing for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, one of the most unexpected hits of 2005. Unfortunately, Sheinkin's wit is mostly lost on a cast album; fortunately, the show's songs are by the great William Finn. Set at the titular event, the musical never looks down on the competiting kids (played by adult actors), instead portraying them as endearingly nerdy but also smart, and endowing them with real personalities rather than predictably spelling-bee tics. The cast is uniformly superb, although personal faves include Sarah Saltzberg, playing Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre with a delicious lisp ("Woe Is Me"); Jesse Tyler Ferguson, bringing sweet innocence to Leaf Coneybear ("I'm Not That Smart"); and Dan Fogler, in a breakout comic performance as William Barfee ("Magic Foot," sounding like a sly tribute to Kander & Ebb). This show may be small in scale, but it's a huge winner. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

    Seeing would be believing

    The music and lyrics were fun and clever, but I think it lacks alittle without actually seeing the performers in front of you.
    Great voices are wasted on an uninspired and BORING musical.

    This is without a doubt the worst musical I've ever seen on Broadway - or perhaps anywhere. The music is monotonous, forgettable and uninteresting. For basically the same theme, but with stellar music and lyrics, buy AVENUE Q, which is sheer genius.
    HOOKED

    I'm hooked on the CD....I listen to it everyday all the way through..Its become one of my favorite musical to listen to.

    Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (2005 Original Broadway Cast)
    With this giddily entertaining show, David Yazbek confirms that The Full Monty wasn't a fluke--few on Broadway can equal his melodic verve and lyrical cleverness. Based on the 1988 movie of the same name, the show deals with a pair of con artists swindling rich women on the French Riviera. Lithgow brings debonair charm to the Michael Caine part, while Norbert Leo Butz (Wicked) proves to be a comic dynamo in the Steve Martin part. And Yazbek provides them with an array of catchy tunes (adorned in beautiful Bacharach-style arrangements by Harold Wheeler). Butz goes ballistic on the hilarious "Great Big Stuff," which demolishes conspicuous consumption, then pairs up with feisty leading lady Sherie Rene Scott on "Love Is My Legs," a wicked sendup of Celine Dion­style torch epics. Meanwhile, Lightgow nails the tender ballad "Love Sneaks In." A delicious jazz reprise of "Nothing Is Too Wonderful to Be True" by Scott and pianist Bill Charlap shows that Yazbek's songs don't need flashy pizzazz to be memorable. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

    Fun stuff.

    While not one of the most complex scores of the past season, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels does stand out as one of the most versatile and certainly the funniest. References to pop-culture standards such as Donald Trump, Ferragamo shoes, and Orangina abound as this clever tale unfolds.

    The plot is simple, if a bit wacky: two con men on the Riviera, the suave and debonair Lawrence Jameson ('Third Rock From the Sun's John Lithgow) and the crude Freddy Benson (Norbert Leo Butz), are locked in a bet over who can scam 50 grand off a naive soap heiress (Sherie Rene Scott) on her first visit to France. But after a wild series of events and a few, shall we say, "surprising" plot twists, the ones who end up on top aren't the ones you'll expect - at all.

    This score is one of the most varied of the season., and one of David Yazbek's best works. Ranging from a hip-hop paean to "the good life", "Great Big Stuff" (sample lyric: "The cash to keep me idle/the chicks to keep me vital/the pills to keep me happy even when I'm suicidal!") to the country-inspired "Oklahoma?" (the question mark is not a typo) in which oil heiress Jolene Oaks plans Lawrence and hers' married life out in the hinterlands, to the mock-up of a gospel song entitled "Love is My Legs", terrifically belted by Scott and Butz. The rhymes are intricate and often hilarious, ("Oklahoma" and "melanoma". Who knew?), the music is well-played out by the orchestra as well as just being riotously funny.

    The cast, too, is top-notch. John Lithgow, while possessing a singing voice that is serviceable at best, has exactly the kind of charisma needed to play such a role. Though his role requires him to perform several songs with a heavy German accent - don't ask - Lithgow's second-act ballad "Love Sneaks In" is a vastly underrated, terrific performance.

    Norbert Leo Butz, despite his three names, is talented as they come these days. Yodeling, rapping, or just plain singing, his voice is just as versatile as the score itself, as through the several personalities he assumes during the show, he never seems to lose touch of the heart of the role. As the mad Prince Ruprecht, Sergeant 'Buzz' Benson, or the flim-flam man behind it all, Butz is simply hilarious throughout the entire show.

    Sherie Rene Scott is a true powerhouse with an amazing belt and a gorgeous singing voice. Her first-act charm song "Here I Am", in which she extols the perks of the French Riviera (and knocks out a local or two) showcases her voice perfectly, and later in the show, the aforementioned gospel spoof "Love is My Legs" is perfect for her brassy belt. And Track 23, a slowed-down, cabaret version of "Nothing is Too Wonderful to be True", featuring Scott and Bill Charlap on piano, is one of the best on the disc.

    Joanna Gleason is simply wonderful as American divorcee (and one of Lawrence's conquests) Muriel of Omaha. The role was greatly expanded once the writers got word that this Broadway "legend" would be playing it, and with great results. Her sweet duet with Greg Jbara (as Jameson's right-hand man and French chief of police), titled "Like Zis/Like Zat", is a great tune.

    Jbara, as well, is perfectly good in his small role. His funny ditty, known as "Chimp in a Suit" is another great track, and though his French accent can get thick at times, Yazbek's rhymes are usually not obscured. And Sara Gettelfinger, in her two scenes as Jolene Oaks, "just a girl who can't hear no", manages to leave you both shaking your head and laughing hard.

    The show's "out to scam the world" theme even extends to the advertisements outside the theatre, with billboards and marquees proclaiming such things as "GO BACKSTAGE AFTER THE SHOW (and we'll call security)", and FABULOUS RECEPTION (for cell phones and other wireless devices in the theatre lobby)".

    This score is one of the past season's best, if not simply the top. Overall, it's definitely worth the investment, being one of the few cast recordings that didn't leave my CD player for a week after receiving it. The show that walks a fine line between the classy and the crude is one of current Broadway's best offerings.
    excellent talent showcase

    The material may not be perfect but the performances are very close! Butz, Lithgow and Scott shine in this cast recording.
    great show!

    this was the first and only broadway musical i have ever seen and i enjoyed it to no end
    I saw this during a feild trip to New York, and its was hilarious. Some of the audience was quite offended by the vulgar lyrics, but the majority was laughing for the entire show.

    I think that the cd is no where near as good as the show but it is still well worth it

    The Chorus (Les Choristes)
    Already a box office sensation with a million-selling soundtrack in its native France, writer/director Christopher Barratier's tale of a post-war music teacher's lasting impact on his young charges rode its formulaic Hollywood roots all the way to Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations as Best Foreign Language Film, as well as an Oscar nod for Best Song ("Look To Your Path [Vois Sur Ton Chemin]," a collaboration between the director and film composer Bruno Coulais). Taking his inspiration from the boy's chorus at the center of the film's drama, Coulais has concocted a masterful, classically rooted score that showcases the crystalline, youthful harmonies of Les Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Marc Choir. The composer bridges the baroque and modern eras in a collection of mostly Latin choruses and chants, a skillful, often haunting fusion that also netted Coulais' compelling score BAFTA and Cesar Awards in Britain and his native France, respectively. -- Jerry McCulley

    Les Choristes

    I was very impressed with the service from Amazon as it was my first purchase with them. I live in Peru South American and my CD arrived within a very short time after I ordered it. It arrived safely and complete, and of course, the CD itself is magnificent. The movie was very good and the music is incredible! If you are a chorus enthusiast, you simply must have this CD!
    Haunting. Ethereal. Wonderful.

    I'd never heard of this composer before, but after having viewed "The Chorus", I was desperate to lay my hands on the soundtrack! The hauntingly ethereal quality of the boys' voices is remarkable. Just as with any fine Italian opera, the listener need not comprehend the language (in this case French) to appreciate this music -- although, quite thoughtfully, the English translation of each song's lyrics is found in the accompanying booklet.

    Anyone who appreciates choral music, particularly as performed by a boys' choir, will find the soundtrack of "The Chorus" a highlighted piece for 2004 (or 2005, whenever it became available in the U.S.!).
    Very good

    I first watched this on an in-flight platform. Already, the score had appealed to me, although my french is rudimentary at best.

    This soundtrack is a very lovely piece of work. I rarely come across something quite as good. Selected mentions include:

    Track 4: Pepinot. This is an instrumental piece, woodwind, piano and strings. Very sensitive and slightly moving. If you have seen the movie, it really fits Pepinot's character so well.

    Track 5: A reprisal of track 1. Already very well reviewed. I have nothing to add.

    Track 7: Together with La Nuit, they are the highlights. Again, the melody hauntingly mirrors that of Track 4. After enchanting the first verse by the choir, the background orchestra tunes down, increasing the haunting woodwinds, and the lead singer comes in, blowing me away. He reprised the choir perfectly.

    Tracks 9 and 16: Kites / paper planes. Almost mirror images. Fast paced and catchy. Childlike in innocence. This was sung during the scene where Clement Mathieu had to depart, and the boys, locked up in a tower, threw paper planes written with messages for him out of the window...

    Very strong buy rating recommended.
