The premier stage composer of his time, Stephen Sondheim has also contributed a substantial body of work to the big and small screens, explored in this 65-minute collection by the Varèse Sarabande stable of artists. The best known is Warren Beatty's 1990 live-action cartoon Dick Tracy, which won Sondheim an Oscar for "Sooner or Later" (covered here by Ally McBeal's Jane Krakowski). This CD includes "Back in Business" as well as the three songs also released on Madonna's movie tie-in album. Other rarities include "Dawn" and "Sand" from the unproduced film project Living Out Loud, the revised version of "The Glamorous Life" written for the 1978 feature film, and "It Takes All Kinds" from The Bird Cage. Orchestral selections include three suites taken from the film score of Stavisky and the gorgeous ballad "Goodbye for Now" from Reds. The major piece here is five songs written for the 1967 television drama Evening Primrose and covered by golden-voiced Liz Callaway and Gary Beach. The recording may not have the star power of an earlier recording by Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters, but it's simply and effectively performed here. --David Horiuchi

What can you lose?.......2000-01-29

Sondheim's little-known work for the big and small screen get presented in this enjoyable compilation. Fans of Sondheim's stage work might be extremely surprised to find the master trying his hand at several pop-flavored tunes. Gary Beach and Liz Callaway do a magnificent job with the four songs from "Evening Primrose" (and is my preference over Mandy Patinkin's over-hysterical rendition with Bernadette Peters), with particular beauty found in the stunning duet "When?"

Sondheim even tries the cheesy disco thing, with "It Takes All Kinds", cut from "The Birdcage". A more thrilling piece of ear candy has never been heard. Although the movie version of "Glamorous Life" can be heard on one or two other compilations and the movie soundtrack, this is one of the best.

I wish the album was truly comprehensive (tracks which have gotten more exposure, such as "Sooner or Later" "Can That Boy Foxtrot" and "Water Under the Bridge" are omitted), but the gems it contains more than compensates. An important album in any Sondheim fan's collection

Pleasant overall, with some invaluable rarities.......1999-05-07

The best moments from this umpteenth collection of music by Broadway supercomposer Stephen Sondheim are the (remarkably dissimilar) selections from 1990's "Dick Tracy" and the obscure 1960's TV musical "Evening Primrose," some of which have never before been recorded. Other items are less memorable, including some regrettable disco/80's pop pastiches from "Singing Out Loud" and "The Birdcage." The selections from "A Little Night Music" and "Stavisky" received sharper performances in the original soundtrack recordings ("The Glamorous Life" can be found appended to the newly remastered Sony/Columbia recording of "Night Music"s original cast; the complete soundtrack to "Stavisky" is available packaged with the must-have 1985 concert recording of "Follies."). This CD should be invaluable to avid Sondheim collectors for the "Primrose" numbers, dynamically sung by Gary Beach and Liz Callaway. Those less fanatic will probably find this a pleasant and workmanlike, but not particularly outstanding recording.

Last Days of April explode in the sky with this one..........2005-02-24

This cd is absolutely amazing. Anyone who is NOT a big fan of the last days of april may not like this album the most. At first listen i tossed it aside next to the fireplace anticipating burning the thing b/c i was so disappointed in how it turned out at first. The only problem was...me. I didnt give it a chance...it wasn't the TIME in my life to listen to this cd and that's just how its always been for me. I'll wait a year for a release but will not listen to it unless its the right moment in time. I will always be that way. ANYWAYS... that happened with IF YOU LOSE IT and now i regret ever throwing that next to the fireplace. I fell in love with this cd in the spring time and even more in the winter. the last days of april have inspired me to write better songs, more complex chord structures, and develop a more simplistic structure for lyrics. Karl, the lead singer and guitarist of the band, its absolutely amazing on this album and his vocals are some of his best so far. I could go on and on about how this band has changed my life...but i'll eschew the oncoming boredom for viewers. All i can say is you MUST pick up this album...give it a chance...listen to it. You will not regret it...i promise you. just give it a chance =)

Standout tracks include (well...every song rocks but i think these songs are my absolute favs)
1. ITS ON EVERYTHING
2. BEEN HERE ALL TIME
3. TEARS ON HOLD
4. ME THE PLAGUE
5. YOUR ANYONE
6. WANT TO GO
7. DO FOR TWO
8. LIVE THE END
9. FAST, SO FAST

...well...like i said every song just about with the exception of IF YOU... i love that song to death but for some reason it wears on my nerves every now and then. i usually skip it and go back to it when im in the mood.
do yourself a favor and buy something worth the money! and if you aren't satisfied try ANGEL YOUTH or ASCEND TO THE STARS...those two choices might satisfy your taste buds =)
