Customer Reviews:

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Album Description

Spirited new sounds from across the sea to the shores of the New Land. From the first colonists to the American Revolution and the birth of our republic Hesperus Early Music Ensemble's music reflects a time of new ideas, freedom and vitality. In town and village, parlor and ballroom, from the Appalachians to the great concert halls hear the musical pulse of early American music performed on a wide variety of folk and early music instruments. Includes: lively country-dance tunes, evocative Shape Note Hymns, old time Appalachian fiddle tunes, graceful European parlor music, French cotillions, divisions and improvisations. Introduction -The English Colonies in America were a patchwork-not just of territories whose boundaries became state lines, but of people from different places and classes with widely different values and experiences. This recording presents music from that patchwork; from England, the Colonial homeland; Scotland and Ireland, the homes of the largest groups of immigrants outside England; and France, the ally of the Patriots, and music written in the United States. More recordings by HESPERUS from Maggie's Music are Celtic Roots featuring Scottish fiddler, Bonnie Rideout and Early American Roots. Hesperus Ensemble is THE sought after musical group for period music that is both authentic, and most important fun, lively and spirited. They are frequent performers at the Smithsonian's Institute of American Music and can be heard on the soundtrack or the Paramount film with Johnny Depp entitled Sleepy Hollow! Excerpts from liner notes:2.A Set of English Country Dance Tunes: Maiden Lane, Jack O'Lent, Chestnut, Bonny Broom - The visionary London music publisher John Playford first published his English Dancing Master in 1651. It was reprinted 18 times over the next 77 years and is still popular today. 3. Parting Friends/Primrose - These tunes have come down to us in choral arrangements called shape-note hymns .

GREAT!.......2007-05-20

This cd travels everywhere with me and you can easily imagine a ball at Monticello given by Mr. Jefferson when you hear it.
Try not to daydream too much while driving as i had done several times..lol..it's hard not to with this cd..:)
Perfect for a colonial reenactment or party.

A relaxing journey into our Colonial past.......2006-03-16

I bought this CD to provide me with another dimension to my studies of period events. It truly contains a wealth of music, and takes it place as an important addition to my musical library. Living in the Mt Vernon area, I often travel with the CD playing while visiting historical places, and it provides a wonderful companion to "set the mood" for the myriad locations in the area. The quality of the sound is remarkable, the musicians superb, and the breadth of song selection provides a musical landscape for the period. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic!.......2004-03-04

I first heard the "Colonial America" CD by Hesperus when I visited Monticello recently (the home of Thomas Jefferson) where they were playing the songs in the gift shop. Imagine my dismay to find that only one cassette tape was left of the fabulous music of Hesperus; however, that tape held me spell-bound all the way home, from Virginia to North Carolina.

It was an incredible journey from the past that has stayed with me since, and every day I drive that one hour back and forth to work. This music has changed everything about the trips, and I can't wait for more.

Thanks to Amazon.com I was able to buy all three CD's, including "Early American Roots," "Colonial America" and the incredible "Celtic Roots" with the most beautiful violas imaginable.

Thank you Hesperus! Please play more!

Cold Mountain type music that's great.......2003-11-15

Novels and movies like Cold Mountain, Oh Brother Where Art Thou? and Song Catchers are showing the growing interest in traditional music and this recording hits the mark. It is music from the days of early America--the time when the first colonists come to America. You can hear the fiddle playing tunes still popular in the Appalachian mountains today and also hear shape note music arranged by Hesperus as wonderful instrumentals. The music takes you to a time when folks were making music in their homes-before TV, before the internet! This recording is good for teachers or educational purposes too- with informative liner notes. All the music is played on folk and early music instruments and it's lively and an enjoyable listen.

Amazon.com essential recording

Raucous, rowdy, and rambunctious in the best possible light, Buckwheat's Zydeco Party presents nimble-fingered, showstopping accordionist and band-leader Buckwheat Zydeco pulling the listener in for a Louisiana-styled throw down. The rhythms are hot and crazy, the band is tight, and the party is an explosion of two-steps and R&B flavored melodies. Included are the regional hit "Ya-Ya," a fiery take on Zydeco granddaddy Clifton Chenier's "Hot Tamale Baby," and a mix of traditional and original tunes. Furthermore, the Rounder reissue comes with extensive liner notes detailing the Buckwheat Zydeco story as well as the potent impact of the genre on American culture. When high-energy celebration is the mood to invoke, Buckwheat's Zydeco Party is the right fit. --Paige La Grone

Great Collection of New Orleans Songs.......2007-05-12

This is a great collection of songs for people who are from New Orleans or for people who love New Orleans and miss it. It has almost all of the classic Mardi Gras themed songs, and it flows really well.

The Best of the Best.......2007-05-10

No contest = if you buy one Mardi Gras CD - this is it. Orginal recordings and great original sound. This is the one Mardi Gras CD that I give to friends - where ever they live. Listen to the samples, if that doesn't do it for you, God bless you.

good all around .......2006-07-07

Enjoyed this cd very much.. It had more cajun than i expected and was glad.

Love That Jazz Man.......2002-02-15

This is a very delectable sampling of many rockin' New Orleans Jazz flavored tunes. Some of the songs are performed by such rock n roll legends like Dr. John and The Neville Brothers. Others are from more soulful artists like Madri Gras Mambo by the Hawkettes. Sill others are percussion driven like Little Liza Jane and Meet De Boys On The Battlefront. And of course there are plenty of great brass and keyboard arrangements to keep any jazz fan happy.

Whereas many of these artists were not legends in the annals of music history, their contributions to this disc are certainly very good. This is a very appropriate party tape for ayoung hip crowd especially if your are anywhere near the Bayou. Goes nice with some Crawfish, Jambalaya, and a beer or two.

Awesome and fun.......2000-01-23

This has been the star of several parties for us. A real good time mood maker. Great for Mardi Gras parties! Buy it, you won't be sorry.

In celebration of the millennium, Putumayo, known for its roots, folk, and international musics, casts a wider net than ever with New World Party. A thoroughly digable collection, these 11 songs not only go global, but hit the club circuit as well, spinning out a rockin' celebration of Algerian funk, Brazilian rhythm & blues, Haitian-Creole rap, and Senegalese hip-hop. Loaded with fat beats and pumping with energetic melody, the offerings of New World Party get the good times started and keep the booties shaking long past midnight. Chico César's "Da Licenca M" (or "Excuse Me, Dude") brews up some reggae-inflected Brazilian pop music, Miriam Makeba updates her signature South African song (a hit in 1967) to "Pata Pata 2000," and things kick into high gear when Los Mocosos refresh the classic Mexican tune "La Boa" with a raunchy salsa style crossed with modern swing. New World Party is terrific for those wishing to branch out, yet not knowing where to begin sampling more exotic fare. The Fugees' Wyclef Jean scores some points with "Sang Fezi," which, with the Refugee Allstars' fine accompaniment and Lauryn Hill wailing an English chorus, is one of the record's strongest tracks. --Paige La Grone

Customer Reviews:

A new world of dance.......2006-06-16

It's a shame this album is no longer in print.While I wasn't impressed with the album's first two tracks (Miriam Makeba's 'Pata Pata' REALLY didn't need 'updating'&'Lobster Song' is slightly annoying),the rest goes from strength to strength.

Hamid Baroudi's "Caravan II Baghdad" is wonderfully funky.Aby N'Dour (sister of the famous Youssou N'Dour)sings the great hip-hop tune "Xel." Even if you don't like hip-hop (I'm not a rap fan),N'Dour's song is powerful.Ramata Diakite (who is now known as Ramatou Diakite&is on Putumayo's recent "Mali" compilation)has a wondrous ode in honor of her mother,mixing Malian traditional music with technology.Gal Costa's "Habib" is light,infectious fun.Chico Cesar&Zeca Baleiro,the misfits of Brazilian pop,provide fun tracks.Los Mocosos&Wyclef Jean round it out with Latin flavors&Haitian hip-hop.Lauryn Hill sings with Wyclef Jean,providing a powerful narrative.The album ends with the seductive Brazilian Daude singing "Vamos fugir" with Djavan.Daude's song isn't technically dance music,but it is perfect for chill-out&romancing.

If only this album were back in print!It's one of Putumayo's best.

Never grows old!.......2004-01-22

Over 4 years later and this music is still fresh! If you don't want to move, don't buy this CD. If you don't miss the groove, put your fingers in your ears. "Pata Pata" starts this party on the right foot (the "good foot" for those versed in the funk) and each song takes you to places in the world, your body finding new ways to move to the rhythms.

Dance music at its best.......2001-06-12

This album just makes you wanna get up and dance. A fabulous mix of dance music from Senegal, Algeria, Brazil, South Africa, Mali, Haiti and even San Francisco's Mission District this is the perfect party album. It makes a refreshing change from the usual radio dance 'music' such as the Backstreet Boys et al. Includes not only lesser known artists but also bigger names such as Wyclef Jean and Miriam Makeba. The colourful 23 page booklet contains a page devoted to each artist, with a photo and artist and track information. Plus an essay about world dance music.

A New World Experience.......2000-04-23

This CD is great. I listened to it three times straight when I first opened and I had never even heard of this CD before. It is defintely worth every penny!

What a groove!.......2000-02-23

Boy, you can't help but move something when you hear this. Check out the Lobster Song by Dissidenten, what a groove!

Not impressed.......2003-11-25

I was not terribly impressed with this CD. Fortunately, I decided to get it from the library to see if it was good before deciding whether or not to buy it.

Although the orchestration of the songs is well done, most of them simply were not meant to be performed by a chorus; and they sound terrible in that form. If you want some of the songs on this CD, I suggest you look at one of Disney's compilation CDs in the Classic Disney Vol. 1-5 series or the actual soundtracks of the movies.

Inexorable wonder!.......2001-06-23

Where to start?! Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra have had a track record for recording some of the most stupendous movie music ever. Magical Musicals is just another example of how audaciously bold, yet beautiful Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops have taken the original scores, molded them into the same pieces, yet at the same time, creating life of their own in each and every note.

Broadway Divas.......2007-01-22

Wonderful selection of classic singers and songs. Special favorites are Ethel Merman and Barbara Cook.

Love the choices.......2006-08-11

This is great. Anything with Ethel, Bernadette, Barbara (both of them), Mary, and Marin is beyond words. Any one of them by themselves is awesome but these ladies together are mind blowing. All of the women sound amazing but they made a mistake on the list of songs and composers. "Raise the Roof" sung by Julia Murney (I love her)was written by Andrew Lippa, not LaChusia.

coulda been a contender.......2006-03-15

The divas are indeed divine, but the choice of music sung left me wondering why, with so many other great music selection contenders.

Two words: Julia Murney.......2001-09-03

OK, so it sounds crazy to review an album with Ethel Merman and Bernadette Peters on it and not mention them. But...tough. I've read enough about them to know how good they are.


Buy this album as a token of love to the producer who had the cajones to put Julia Murney on an album celebrating the last 100 years of Broadway divas.

Because SHE is one of the greatest voices of the decade!

Amazon.com essential recording

Raucous, rowdy, and rambunctious in the best possible light, Buckwheat's Zydeco Party presents nimble-fingered, showstopping accordionist and band-leader Buckwheat Zydeco pulling the listener in for a Louisiana-styled throw down. The rhythms are hot and crazy, the band is tight, and the party is an explosion of two-steps and R&B flavored melodies. Included are the regional hit "Ya-Ya," a fiery take on Zydeco granddaddy Clifton Chenier's "Hot Tamale Baby," and a mix of traditional and original tunes. Furthermore, the Rounder reissue comes with extensive liner notes detailing the Buckwheat Zydeco story as well as the potent impact of the genre on American culture. When high-energy celebration is the mood to invoke, Buckwheat's Zydeco Party is the right fit. --Paige La Grone

Great Zydeco Music from a Master.......2001-01-26

I bought Buckwheat's Zydeco Party back in 1988 and have enjoyed listening to it on a regular basis ever since. Not really totally Zydeco in the traditional sense, Buckwheat's alblum combines the best qualities of New Orleans Zydeco, R&B,and soul music.

Buckwheat is a virtuoso on the accordian, but he also has a great voice. His backup band has just the right touches of horns and drums to fill out the jams and really make them a pleasure to listen to.

Great, fun and danceable alblum that features exceptional clean production touches. At times the pace of some songs becomes so frantic ("Zydeco Boogie" and "Tutti Frutti", for example) that you just start smiling and tapping your toes. It should compel even the most staid music listener to get up and dance.

I wholeheartedly endorse it. Go buy it!

Rebirth Brass Band: Hard-hitting and danceable.......1999-05-08

This albums consists of the most danceable New Orleans music I have heard in recent years. While Rebirth Brass Band is no Jelly Roll Morton or Preservation Hall Jazz band, Rebirth does stand apart from the crowd. Perhaps the wildest tune on the album is their version of Michael Jackson's "Liberian Girl." Admist introductory shouts, baritone saxophone player John Gilbert belts out steady notes, climaxing with a killer solo about two minutes into the song. What makes the song addictive is the way he rapidly shifts between high and "deep tooting" low notes. "Liberian Girl," without any pause, transforms into the title song, "We Come to Party." This too is a very danceable tune, as is "Fire." However, there are so many intruments playing during "Fire" that the music leans towards discord at points. While the above mentioned tunes are the most notable ones, there really are no "weak" songs on the album. This album is worth its cost. Recommended.
