stunning studio album in creamy stereo.......2004-08-05
This studio album of Weill and Gershwin's LADY IN THE DARK features the lovely Rise Stevens making the role of Liza Elliott her own, with Adolph Green in the role that made Danny Kaye a star in the original production.
This sumptuous reissue on the Columbia 'Masterworks Heritage' label presents the recording in creamy stereo, with the orchestra under the baton of Lehman Engel. Rise Stevens is perhaps the best singer to have played Liza on any recording of LADY IN THE DARK. The trained opera singer lets her hair down for the manic "Saga of Jenny", and yields glowing versions of "My Ship" and "One Life to Live". Also featured among the cast are John Reardon and Stephanie Augustine.
My only qualm about the release is the horrid packaging. The disc is enclosed in a cardboard sleeve at the back of a booklet-style slipcase, leaving the CD vulnerable to scratches and dust (I remedied the problem by putting the CD in a separate plastic jewel case and filing it on the shelf next to the empty booklet case). However this should not deter collectors and musical theatre fans from seeking out this lovely recording.
STELLAR STAR!.......2003-01-03
MISS STEVENS shinesas Liza Eliot in this perfect recording of "Lady in the Dark". [For the first time - with repect to the other artists - the lyrics are pristine!] THE recording? IF you own a 'surround system' - this one IS flawless - just a perfect balance of voice and instrument. [A great restoration job - if only they could do the same to the Lawrence version....]
FOR the collector - get all three recordings currently available - the 1997 London version is the most complete, the Gertrude Lawrence? It's more of a Star Vehicle for Miss Lawrence - lots of dialogue - with really only the two "Liza' numbers - "Saga of Jenmny" and "My Ship" intact - but also well worth the journey.
AS A BONUS - Miss Stevens recording contains the Danny Kaye contribution missing from the Gertrude Lawrence recording - plus his versions of "My Ship" and "The Saga of Jenny".
There IS a more complete recording. . ........2000-12-06
This recording is terrific, but for a more complete recording with much better quality, look for the Original Cast Recording from the Royal National Theatre Production. It's got all the bridging music which is phenomenal.
Great Fun.......1999-04-15
Until the definitive full version of the score comes out--with all the bridging material and orchestral interludes--this is probably the most complete of one of the greatest and most charming classic Broadway scores (and probably Ira Gershwin's masterpiece). Rise Stevens was born to play the part, and though at times she gets a bit excessive (especially in the dialogue) her voice is beautiful and confident (a high point is her counterpointing the chorus during "The Best Years of His Life"), and iat times really soars, as in "This is new." Adolph Green is hilarious--it's a great tragedy he never got to play this role on Broadway.
A fun, if abbreviated, recording.......1999-04-02
A nifty performance of one of Broadway's classic scores. The biggest problem is that just about everything is slightly abridged (mostly verses, connecting material, dialogue underscoring and choral repeats--although if I'm reading the vocal score right, most of this would still be interesting to listen to); still, a reasonably good taste of the whole thing. The liner notes also don't really give a story synopsis, so if you aren't familiar with the plot, seek out a summary so you aren't completely confused by what is going on. Rise Stevens' acting is pretty mannered, and she goes over the top vocally every now and then; she seems to be shouting, not singing at the end of "Jenny." Adolph Green is hysterically funny and acquits himself supremely well in "Tchaikovsky." How you'll enjoy the appendix of Danny Kaye's recordings depends on how much you like Danny Kaye--enough said.

Brecht sings!.......2003-02-02
Come on! A chance to hear Bertolt Brecht sing his own Mack the Knife before Bobby Darrin messed it up! How many CDs are going to have that?!
Some good, some bad, all Weill........2003-01-02
Kurt Weill and Broadway fans will probably feel an intense need to have this album, and I'm not sure I'd be able to dissuade them. There's some good stuff on this recording, to be sure, but a great deal of it is in German, and much of it might not interest even someone with just a casual interest in the material chronicled. While there's a strong representation of The Threepenny Opera (all in German), the selections from Lady in the Dark featuring Gertrude Lawrence and Danny Kaye are vital, as are the tracks of Mary Martin and Kenny Baker performing selected numbers from One Touch of Venus. (You can also hear Walter Huston performing a song from Knickerbocker Holiday, though it is, for some strange reason, "The Scars." It's an interesting historical record, but not a great song.) Lotte Lenya also sings some as well, which is a treat, but overall, this is a highly variable recording. Make sure you know exactly what you're getting beforehand, or you may be likely to find yourself--as I do--listening to only half the album.

Customer Reviews:
GREAT RECORDING, BUT THE PRICE..........1999-12-01
This is 20th century opera at its most vivid. Once considered a failure, Osud was resurrected in an English translation that actually improves upon the original libretto. The music is as vital as anything in Janacek: the piece starts a churning riff strangely reminiscent of Philip Glass; the ending is equally memorable -- startlingly brusque and humorous. Throughout, we get musical drama tied to the quick of spoken language; conversations overlap, or suddenly fall silent. At times the story is ridiculous, but the production rides over any problems. Philip Langridge, as always, is great. My only qualm: this was originally a single disc CD on EMI, for a single disc price. Though the package is nice, the price is steep for some 70:00 odd minutes.

What a fun band and album.......2004-06-08
I stumbled into these guys yesterday at, of all places, the Foster City Art & Wine festival, where they were stuck with the thankless final slot on the music stage, which up to that point had been populated by...well, if you ever go to these sort of events, you know who plays them. Let's just say I didn't expect to hear anyone like Tragedy Andy and that I'd been purposely avoiding the music are before they came on.
As the late afternoon winds threatened to blow away everything at the festival and I struggled to get my two-year-old to go home rather than do the kiddie rides for the sixth straight hour, Tragedy Andy plugged in and let loose with a sound that had me struggling to work my way toward the stage while still staying close enough to my daughter so that I wouldn't be arrested for child endangerment. In spite of repeated sound problems, they were awesome, and having no idea who they were, I had to track them down to find out.
The nicest guys you could hope to meet, I was surprised to find out they were local, and I bought a copy of their CD as they packed up in hopes it would be half as good as they'd been live. When I got home and put it on, I was not disappointed, although my wife, who'd left the festival before Tragedy Andy played, was, wishing she'd stuck around to see them.
Tragedy Andy's songs, musical style and vocals remind me a great deal of Muzzle, a great band out of Seattle that should have made it big a few years ago but didn't (Their excellent album "Betty Pickup" is still available and highly recommended.). Given how much I liked Muzzle, that's high praise, and it's what drew me over toward the stage yesterday. But after listening to the CD a few times through, I'd recommend this album on its own merits. It's got great songs throughout, and as a previous reviewer said, they stick in your head and don't want to come out.
This is good stuff. Here's to hoping their upcoming tour of the Southwest brings them the attention they deserve.
Nothing tragic about this CD.......2004-01-23
Tragedy Andy is an amazing band. Their vocals are well done, and they have their own sound. Almost all of their songs are different, and you can't just say "Oh, this whole CD is about ...." I really love this CD, and it won't be coming out of my player until they get a new one out!
Hardworking Kids Do Good.......2004-01-14
If you haven't gotten yourself a copy of this CD, i highly reccommend that you do. It is rare that a hometown band can have such a following as these fellas do with such ardent and true fans.
The tunes are catchy. You will wake up with these songs in your head, and enjoy humming them as you go through your day!!!
It's Never Too Late To Start Over.......2003-11-23
Tragedy Andy has some of the best vocals and harmonies I've heard of any bands around here. This new CD, which you can buy online or at one of their live shows, perfectly demonstrates how far a band can get with dedication and talent. They've come a long way, and will go much farther. Some of the standout songs on this CD are "Damsel," "3am Delerium" and "November," though every single track is well worth hearing. I gave this CD a five star rating because while "Damsel" has some scratches in the recording (I'm not sure if those are intentional or not), the CD is still great. I definitely suggest picking it up, or coming out to a show and seeing them perform their stuff live.

Very Relaxing and Versatile Set from Ms. Gibbs!.......2007-04-28
As an avid fan of 80's sitcom 227, I was exposed on several occasions to the vocal talents of Marla Gibbs. And I always hoped that she would one day release an album...but I didn't think that wish would come true! Luckily, it finally has!
This 14-track CD flows very easily and is full of life throughout! The theme, "It's Never Too Late to Live Life," is inspiring, and that feel-good vibe permeates all of the music here -- even the few songs that focus on the down side of love and relationships. Concerning the latter, that is the subject matter on two surprisingly urban-contemporary-sounding numbers toward the end of the set ("Game" and "Where Have You Gone"). These tunes find Marla in a mode reminiscent of Erykah Badu, with the instrumental backings of an Angie Stone-esque setup! However, the majority of the material is in a pleasant jazz form that is decidedly accessible to listeners across the board.
Whether she's singing her own compositions like the comforting "Don't Tell Me Not to Dream" or the swingin' "Countin' the Days," or covering classics like "Time After Time," Marla strikes just the right balance between gutsiness and pizazz to appeal to even casual jazz listeners like myself. Her voice has a pure, supple quality that belies her years and easily adapts to the mood of each song.

correction, it ain't the montgomery brothers.......2005-01-20
it is Monk Montgomery, and it is not with his brothers (a guitarist, Wes, and a pianist), but with weird string arrangements. So if you are looking for the sound of the Montgomery brothers stay away, as far as you can, from this one.
.......I see that the change has been made. Kudos to amazon for being responsive here...

Bad Wedding Band?.......2006-03-21
I bought this cd without hearing it, unfortunately!!! The song titles made the cd look very promising, however the music is not very well produced & the over-powering vocals are out of sync with the wimpy music. I won't waste anymore of your time, you'll know what to do...
