1.0 out of 5 stars The Best From Broadway Musicals - Original Cast, November 24, 1999

I bought this for my wife who is a big Broadway Musical Fan. One of our favorites is "ONE MORE ANGEL IN HEAVEN" I played this first for her, and we were both disgusted to hear some cheesey instumental version, rather than the original sung version. The description of the CD said "Original Cast". Turns out only a few of the songs are by the original cast, the rest are instrumentals, the like of which you can hear in any elevator and dentist office in the land.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not that great, March 5, 2000

By 

Steven Sauke "Steven Sauke" (Seattle) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Broadway Musicals (Audio CD)

I got these CDs some time ago, and I was very disappointed in them. Of the three, the Andrew Lloyd Webber one is the best. The other two are not much good at all. I once thought you couldn't go wrong with Rodgers & Hammerstein, but these CDs proved me wrong. Even the ALW CD isn't very good. Most of the songs are instrumental, and those that are sung aren't sung that well. If you're thinking about getting these CDs, I'd suggest thinking again. I find that for the most part, the CDs that are called "The Very Best of..." tend to be big letdowns--at least those I've listened to. The only exception I've found so far is "The Very Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber: The Broadway Collection." If you want an excellent ALW collection, that's the one to get. Not this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Weak voices and muddy music., July 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Broadway Musicals (Audio CD)

The Andrew Lloyd Webber disk is a poor imitation of the origional cast performances; the two other disks are instramentals: no voices at all.

Not a good choice for anyone who likes origional cast recordings of Broadway shows; and, if sold as such these CDs will be a big disappointment.
