1.0 out of 5 stars
disapoint selections from a great score,
This review is from: Anyone Can Whistle : Vocal Selections (Paperback)
I personally hate it when songs are printed in different keys from the original recording, or they are printed in an abridged form. This is the case with this volume from the under appreciated Sondheim show "anyone can whistle". Not only are the above mentioned problems present, but one of the best songs (See what it gets you) is given a slow blues tempo that just doesn't compare to the manic tone of the original. Granted, the shows most famous song (there won't be trumpets) is included, but again, it is in the wrong key and some of the lyrics are wrong. The mayoress' (played by Angela Lansbury and Madeline Kahn) song "Iv'e got you to lean on" (another toe tapper) is also presented abridged and in the wrong key. Abd the lovely duet "with so little to be sure of" is presented here as a solo, with the wonderful counterpoint female part ommitted. it is a shame that this show wasn't given a better treatment
