4.0 out of 5 stars MISSGYDER TOTALLY MISGUIDED, July 20, 2004

This review is from: Unsung Musicals (Studio Cast) (Audio CD)

This is not so much a review as a rebuttal; I was the orchestrator for this album, MISSGYDER's assertion of totally synthesized sound is totally incorrect: the charts were played by 4 reeds, 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba, harp, percussion, drums, keyboards, and a string section. I sorry the sound didn't meet the approval of the reviewer labeled MISSGYDER, but I can testify to the reality of the orchestra, the players, and my scores which are at the Library of congress.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Treasures, August 28, 2000

By 

Judy Gettelfinger (Jeffersonville, Indiana USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Unsung Musicals (Studio Cast) (Audio CD)

The shows from which these songs were taken may have been unsuccessful, but this compilation of their best selections is a jewel. What a treat it was to be entertained by so many talented Broadway stars for the price of a single recording. From the hilarious "Sherry" to the sweet "New Words", one listen to this CD and I was hooked!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unsung perhaps, but often wonderful, February 14, 2001

Just because a musical was not successful, that doesn't mean that there were no good songs in it (pardon the double negative). These selections may be songs that are not well known from shows in the same category, but some of these are real gems, sung by fine show singers. My favorites are "Smile" (from Smile), "Ragtime Romeo" (The Vamp), "Sherry!" (Sherry!), and "She's Roses" (Drat! The Cat!).
