4.0 out of 5 stars LOVE, REHASHED AND RE-RELEASED, FROM THE HEART., January 28, 2003

All you need from love is a love song. Or so the song goes. And Decca certainly knows the value of heartfelt music. And the mastery of repackaging and rehashing. The 14 tunes on this CD have all been released before --- there's nothing rare, nothing never-before-heard, there are no demos or outtakes. Still, what's here has been culled from Decca and Decca-affiliate cast albums and recordings and is worth a listen. There's something new, something old, starting with Siobhan McCarthy's "The Winner Takes All." There's Julie Andrews' take on "My Funny Valentine," Betty Buckley's "Memory," Donny Osmond and Vanessa Williams promising "Not While I'm Around." Jerry Orbach asking that we "Try to Remember," Bernadette Peters vowing that "Time Heals Everything," Anna Maria Alberghetti insisting that "Love Makes the World Go Round." I have dreamed of better CD compilations for people like us. But for now ...

5.0 out of 5 stars I think a mistake has been made., February 14, 2007

The entire CD is excellent and I do recommend it, however on the "Try To Remember" track from the "Fantasticks" most definitely sounds more like Ed Ames than Jerry Orbach. I have heard Jerry Orbach sing and he sang beautifully. But there are differences in their voices and I believe someone is trying to pass off an Ed Ames recording and saying it is sung by Orbach. Anyone agree? I'd like to hear different views. By the way, Ed Ames performed in "Fantasticks" for quite a while. His performance was one of his best.
