A GOLDEN TREASURE FOR COLLECTORS AND HISTORIANS, May 27, 2008
This review is from: Ziegfeld Follies (Audio CD)
A huge BRAVO for this real amazing treasure! It compiles 25 of the most famous songs and melodies from 1910 to 1945 which played in the famous Ziegfeld Follies. You'll find the voices of Bert Williams (in his popular "Nobody"), the legendary Fanny Brice (and her NȘ1 hit of those days "My Man"), Maurice Chevalier, Eddie Cantor, Ruth Etting, Frances White, Will Rogers and others. Although they are mono recordings, the sound is very good, having that special sound texture of old times which makes it much more enjoyable. Certainly enough, this is a definite MUST for any Broadway collector or american musical historian. You'll find here part of the origins of the Broadway legend, the most representative songs and tunes of old times that take us back to the past so that we may understand the present. This is worth every penny you invest on it. DON'T MISS IT BY ANY CHANCE!
