Although it's based on the 1967 movie of the same name, Thoroughly Modern Millie is almost thoroughly new. Composer Jeanine Tesori (Violet) and lyricist Dick Scanlan wrote a whole batch of songs, while retaining a couple from the movie--including the Jimmy van Heusen-Sammy Cahn title tune--and recycling even older material (look for Victor Herbert's "I'm Falling in Love with Someone" and the inventively arranged "Nuttycracker Suite"). Miraculously, the show, set during the jazz age, doesn't feel stitched together, and Tesori does a great job cranking out swinging melodies. Sutton Foster is appropriately brassy as Millie, but she can also tone it down, as in the beginning of "Gimme Gimme" (of course, she then proceeds to project up to the last rafters as the song builds to its climax). Harriet Harris, as nasty Mrs. Meers, steals the show with "They Don't Know." Close your eyes, listen to her, and you'll be back in Broadway's golden age. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Excellent Musical, But Product Quality - Eh.......2007-07-15
I absolutely love the musical so I'm thrilled with the cd.
My problem was not with the quality of the cd, but with the plastic case. The cd cases always come cracked. Although it doesn't affect the quality of the cd itself, it's rather disheartening that Amazon charges customers for its poor shipping.
MODERNIZE your music collection!!!.......2007-07-13
This is an AMAZING musical and great album. It is sure to jazz-up any music collection! BUY THIS ALBUM NOW!
A must to add to your collection.......2007-05-18
I was very fortunate enough to see this on Broadway. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen! The music has just enough jazz and contemporary vive that any musical lover would enjoy! It's also got tapping in it! Sutton is simply awesome in this role and all of the cast can really belt out their songs. Harriet Harris is phenominal in her role as Mrs. Meers. I highly recommend this to all broadway lovers! It's one to add to your collection!
Delightful.......2006-06-12
The music takes a little bit to grow on you, but boy, does it! It's wonderful, charming, romantic, funny--just like the play itself. I loved almost every song and I was really impressed with "Long As I'm Here With You"-- I thought it was an old song written back in the twenties, because it so sounded like one. The cast is absolutely energetic and endearing, and Sutton Foster just *rocks*. Definitely worth the money.
YOU WILL LOVE IT.......2006-02-17
If you like musicals, you will NOT REGRET purchasing this musical soundtrack. JUST DO IT. It's so great, you will be listening to it forever. I also saw the show at the Kennedy Center in D.C. and it's one of the best I've ever seen. (And I've seen A LOT.)
Have Fun!

Cynical types will accuse Disney of milking the "greatest" concept until it's drier than Tinkerbell's fairy dust ("Supercalafragilisticexpealidocious," "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da," and "Heigh Ho" were hits off of Vol. 1; "Bare Necessities," "It's a Small World," and "Some Day My Prince Will Come" stole the show on Vol. 2), but a glimpse of this installment's track listing is all it'll take to squash their suspicions. Once again running reverse-chronologically, Vol. 3 opens with Jonatha Brooke's gorgeously achy ballad "I'll Try," from 2002's arguably not-so-great Return to Neverland, and gradually reaches back through the years to re-raise the curtain on Toy Story 2 ("When She Loved Me," performed by Sarah McLachlan), The Lion King ("Can You Feel the Love Tonight"), Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews's classic "A Spoonful of Sugar"), Pinocchio ("Give a Little Whistle"), and a bundle of treasured others, bottoming out at 1933's "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" from The Three Little Pigs. Vol. 3 is not without its weak moments--would a G-rated movie-goers' poll produce Beauty and the Beast's "Gaston" or The Hunchback of Notre Dame's "Topsy Turvy" on a hits list? Seems unlikely. Still, the bulk of these tracks are, as the included Little Mermaid song goes, "Part of Your World," and the spread of decades they represent proves their staying power. Don't expect Disney to latch the lid on its inexhaustible archives until a dozen or so of these records, each as strong as the next, beckon you back for more. --Tammy La Gorce

Disney's greatest hits, volum 3.......2007-05-13
This is one of the better volums for kids and for those who are
above 18 but still have some kid in them
Timeless Disney Music.......2007-05-07
Nothing brings sweet recollection of Disney movies like hearing the wonderful songs. In an age where there so much music with no redeeming qualities, these Disney CDs are priceless. Wonderful for the entire family to listen to around the house or in the car while traveling. We can't help but sing along. We love that these are the original tracks from the movies! Wonderful! We now have all three volumes.
Disney songs are the best.......2006-03-18
I love the songs on this volume. I'll Try by Jonatha Brooke is such an amzing somg. I especially bought this CD fort that song but, was pleasantly surprsed by the rest of the playlist.
Great Disney Music.......2006-02-21
I have bought the first 2 volumes of Disney's Greatest Hits and the 3rd volume doesn't disapoint. My 2 young children love to listen to this CD and talk about the movies that they come from. A definate must have!
Not as good as Vol 1 and Vol 2.......2005-09-11
This Disney CD represents the "leftovers" that didn't make it on Vol 1 and Vol 2 of this series. Although it has some of my favorites, I don't listen to the entire CD often. Disney could have done a better job of editing the which sound files should make the cut on this one. Still, it's nice to have all 3 CDs.

Customer Reviews:
Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04
This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!
Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12
This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!
Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20
Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!
Frank's view.......2006-08-19
This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.
Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08
I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.
The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!
I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.
The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

I expected good music from one parent to another parent.......2007-05-03
While her vocals are great (and very reminiscent of a blend of Alanis Morissette and Sarah McLachlan) and I did expect a collection of songs from the heart of a parent, I was disappointed to find language that would require a bar of soap in a household of children. I can't play this when my kids are around! What's the point in that?
A truly gifted artist who has an unbelievable voice.......2006-01-30
I discovered Kath Fisher on itunes and fell in love with her album "One". Her voice is truly her instrument, so controlled and multi-layered, soulful and capable of long notes and belts. She has a good range, with shades of Tori, Alanis, but with a deep tone that makes her truly unique. Her lyrics are cool, with an enunciation that makes them understandable. Her tunes are catchy, but not your typical radio pop, though I have heard her on San Diego radio. Standouts include "I will love you" on ONE; I love "Beautiful Life" which you may recognize from the Toyota commerical; and "The Lovely Years" from the new album of the same name. I actually have all of her albums, and all songs are just great. UPPERS AND DOWNERS is an album of 1/2 quick tempo songs and 1/2 slower songs, with lots of covers, including a cool version of "Dream On". If you are looking for a great, but for some reason undiscovered in the mainstream true talent, you can't go wrong with Fisher. Why isn't this girl famous?
It's a beautiful album.......2005-07-20
If you like Sarah, Tori or the Indigo girls you will love this album
Great if you are a new parent..........2005-06-15
I love Fisher's music, and bought this the day it came out. The music is good, but I was a little disappointed that the theme for the album was about how wonderful it is to be parents. Not that babies aren't wonderful, they are, but if you aren't a new parent you may not relate well to this album and True North would be a better pick.
lovely years, voice, lyrics and music = er, lovely!.......2005-05-07
new moms will be particularly attracted to the pretty songs. the lullaby "you" is especially nice -- one of only two Lullaby songs to actually make me weepy-eyed thinking about my wee one (who is now 8) (the other song was "baby mine" by alison krauss)
her voice is as lush and memorable as ever, and the music and arrangements are even better than on previous works.
stand outs other than "you": "all i ask" "beautiful day" "sleepy head" "lovely years" "turn around" and "be here".
good stuff! cd universe has the cd for $3 cheaper. i guess amazon gets their shipping cost one way or another.....

Southern California's Dishwalla are a lot like a serial killer. A la the most cunning sociopath, the group disguises dark intentions in a swirling head-swim of charming guitar notes and a volley of regular-joe vocals. It's music that fits right into a crowded playlist (witness the success of "Counting Blue Cars")--pop-gilded rock that doesn't mean any real harm. Get close enough to it, though, and its knife is unsheathed and glinting. We're talking trenchcoat-sinister. There's a tangible creepiness running through the suggestive, lumbering melodies and in the effortless, disarming murmur of front-stalker J.R. Richards. Richards somehow manages to instill threat into lines like "Staring at the wall because you know it understands" and "Nothing in motion, and I'm satisfied / No disappointment, until I wake up." Huge power chords roil and groan beneath him, enhancing the hypnotic effect--probably the same spell Mowgli felt as Kaa the python tightened his "Trust in Me" coils around him. Strange to think that Dishwalla's most intriguing feature is its, well, strangeness. But it's true! One listen to a violet processional such as "Truth Serum" and you fall in line behind it, raptly moving to the beat. And by then it's too late to escape. --Tom Lanham

Good Album to just sit & drift off too!.......2005-11-26
Album was good wish it had a little more though, a group grew on me!
Finally grew on me.......2005-04-18
I didn't like AYTYKWLA at first but after listening to it numerous times I've grown to love it! It still ranks as my least favourite Dishwalla album but it does feature their best song of all time, Until I Wake Up. I'm glad I gave And You Think... another chance because it's yet another great album from a terribly underrated band.
Yep, it's amazing..........2005-02-09
What more can be said? This album blows so many great albums in rock history away. I became a fan of Dishwalla when I was 15. I bought their first CD like a week before Counting Blue Cars started getting airplay everywhere. But ever since I got this amazing CD I have just not enjoyed Pet Your Friends nearly as much as I used to. That's not trashing Pet Your Friends. This album's just that amazing.
EXCELLENT!!!.......2004-12-08
It is sad to see that Dishwalla faded out after their first album. "And You Think You Know What Life's About" is definately better. There are fewer fast songs, but the quality of the music is much better. I like every single song on this album. If you liked "Counting Blue Cars", you will definately enjoy this album. I wish sales for this album gave the band the justice they deserve!
Honestly, the best Dishwalla album and one of the best ever!.......2003-11-30
There are tons of great reviews already, but I just want to reiterate the point - if you are a fan of 90's rock, or of the Dishwalla "hit", or of bands such as Flickerstick, please, please give this album a listen. It has it's own unique vibe, like it is strung out or drunk at a party, and it is both haunting and rocking at the same time! The words to describe it escape me, just amazing! I am no Dishwalla fanboy, Pet Your Friends isn't one of my faves, but I guarantee And You... will both surprise and delight, especially if you are in a melancholy mood - it is absolutely perfect soundtrack music to a lonely night. Give it a try!

THE BEST OF BETTE!.......2003-11-23
For those who cherish those Bette Davis Golden Oldies as I do, you'll not want to be without this CD. All her most memorable film scores are here: Warner's fanfare introduces the exquisite "It Can't Be Wrong/Charlotte's Theme" from "Now, Voyager", Steiner's poignantly haunting score for "Dark Victory" the suitably regal score for "All About Eve" by Alfred Newman and the instantly recognizable theme for "A Stolen Life" - again by Max Steiner.
Korngold's score for "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex" is fine as are the various scores for "Deception", "The Letter" and "All This, and Heaven Too" & "In This Our Life". When Davis made "Dark Victory" she was a bit "upstaged" by Max Steiner's score towards the final fade-out of the film. Judy Traherne ascends the staircase, says good-bye to Daffy and Don (her dogs) and quietly insists that her maid Martha leave her alone, undisturbed to die in peace: "beautifully and finely". During this shot, the angels are singing ethereally and Davis flung herself at director Edmund Goulding during reheasal and demanded: "Damn it, who's playing this scene? Max or me??" No fears. It worked. Beautifully.
One of Gerhardt's Best.......2002-07-26
This is one of the best albums from the classic film scores series conducted by Charles Gerhardt with the National Philharmonic Orchestra. Max Steiner composed most of the scores represented here. Max Steiner was one of the greats. My favorite cut is the "main title" from A STOLEN LIFE. This tune was uesd again in A SUMMER PLACE with Troy Donahue. Both films have their central settings in New England. This tune greatly captures the feeling of the land and sea and the people living on the New England coast. This is a lush and beatiful cd.
Simply superb!.......2002-01-14
This is one of about a half dozen or so recordings of classic film scores conducted by Mr. Charles Gerhardt, performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra, and produced by Mr. George Korngold (Erich Wolfgang Korngold's younger son). These recordings were made in the 1970's, and with, perhaps, one exception, have yet to be equalled much less surpassed! Almost single handedly, they have shaped the film scores of today and made CDs of same a major profit center for the recording industry. Don't just buy this one; grab anything that has Mr. Gerhardt name on it!
Priceless for all old movie fans.......2000-03-13
I have had this album for years and was thrilled to find it is out in CD. This is a must have for anyone who loves old movies, especially movies of the '30's and '40's. The music is beautiful and fully orchestrated by the National Philharmonic. Each selection elicits all of the atmosphere and attendant feelings of the film for which it was written.

Whether you're willfully stranded at a vacation resort or soaking up some rays on a nearby beach, the music of Brent Burns is the perfect soundtrack to the laid-back lifestyle. The obvious identification with Jimmy Buffett and his beach-bum sound is in evidence throughout this collection of absurdly comical and witty pop vignettes. The buoyant tracks instantly carry the listener to a sultry paradise as Burns sings lines such as "don't tell me how you do it up north, because I don't care." While the music tends to rely too heavily on trite keyboard sounds, few will notice as they join in on the unabashed good times. Margaritas and drink umbrellas not included. --Lucas Hilbert
Album Description
Brent combines the feeling of tropical breezes with a touch of country. The songs tell his life as a Gulf Coast trobadour (Livin' the Life", "Neon Tan"). He sings of love lost and found ("911","Compass & Anchor","Little Grass Hut") and the trials and tribulations of living in a resort community ("If It's Snowbird Season Why Can't We Shoot'Em?").
Customer Reviews:
awesome.......2004-04-13
love all the songs on the album especially the snowbird season
Save your money.......2003-12-31
Mr. Burns is trying to capitalize on Jimmy Buffett's fame, and if he had any talent at all that would be fine with me. He however is sadly lacking in talent and for me to pay $16.99 for this amateur effort was a waste of money. I guess I qualify as a Parrothead, and I was looking for a similar sound--tropical, laid-back...What I found was a guy using Jimmy Buffet's name in the title of his CD and insulting him in the lyrics. Livin' the Life is the worst song on this CD, followed by Vacation. Too Lazy to work...was a cute song, but not worth buying the CD for. I have never written a review about a movie or CD before, but I feel I must warn others--save your money!
PARROTHEADS LOOSEN UP.......2003-02-02
After reading reviews on this this album, I decided to buy it. Being 50 years old and having every song that Jimmy Buffett ever recorded (some not so good), I wanted to see what fellow parrotheads were objecting to. SUPRISE - BRENT BURNS IS GOOD. He's laid back, humorous and makes fun of anybody he wants and this makes for a fun album. Guess who else made fun of anybody he wanted to and also made fun albums (intials are J.B.). By the way Jimmy isn't from Florida either!!!
Livin' the Life, but not playing the music........2002-04-07
If he's trying to appeal to Parrotheads, it's hard to do it by insulting Jimmy. His songwriting is poor and just vindictive. Jimmy is successful, Brent is not. The music on this CD is proof positive. Phins up Parrotheads! Go buy Far Side of the World instead.
Poor vocal talent and unfounded lyrics........2002-04-07
If I could give this album less than one star I would. Brent Burns has virtually no vocal talent which obviously why he only lays on the beach while Jimmy Buffett (spelled with two "T's) counts his money. It sounds as if he tape-recorded the album on a home stereo system with a Karaoke function. I also found the song "If It's Snowbird Season Why Can't We Shoot 'Em?" to be interesting since the beach he lays on is not located in Florida but in Alabama. Maybe he should stick to writing about the ten mile stretch of land he uses as a beach instead of writing about Florida beaches for which he was a tourist on as well. In short do not waste your money on this CD your money is better spent on something credible.

Album Description
The hilarious Christine Lavin literally shines in live performance as she straps on a miner's headlamp and twirls her glowing batons. But the real sparkle comes from Lavin's sung and spoken wit - this singer-songwriter-guitarist regales and involves her fans with riotously acute original songs, comic monologues, quizzes, contests, and, in this case, her quest to identify Mr. Colorado Springs in the audience at the 2003 benefit concert captured on this CD.
"Sometimes Mother Really Does Know Best" is the award-winning Ms. Lavin's seventeenth album in a recording career that stretches back to 1981. Some songs here have appeared on her previous CDs, but never like this! One of Christine's signature compositions, "What Was I Thinking?," resurfaces with updated needling of Martha Stewart, while the affectionately rueful "You Look Pretty Good for Your Age" is wrapped around Christine's search for Mr. Colorado Springs. Five other favorites are captured "live" for the first time, including the tropical ordeal of "Wind Chimes and the anthem of the uncoordinated, "Ballad of a Ballgame." There are also three new songs here.
At least half the fun of this CD comes from Christine's giddy but incisively sarcastic song intros and a half-dozen comic monologues. "What kind of a ridiculous glamour trajectory am I on?" conveys her outrage at being mistaken for an ex-nun and a lunch lady; "Bernice, Carol, and tonight's crowd compete for the science prize" is a quiz that involves such brain teasers as "How many roads MUST a man walk down before they call him a man?"
Armed only with a guitar, a Boomerang sampling device that multiplies and delays her vocals into harmonies and swirling rounds, a wry, mocking self-awareness and boundless insight into contemporary culture, the Christine Lavin live experience is just as funny when heard at home, as preserved on this disc. Lighten up and laugh for almost 75 minutes!

Based on Somerset Maugham's middling novel Theater, Annette Bening stars as the title character, an aging star of the London stage whose life and the melodramas she performs have come to mirror each other. Composer Mychael Danna sets those conflicts to a score that emphasizes theatrical surfaces and rigid role-playing, utilizing a finely honed classical pastiche approach with parallels to his previous period-evoking work on Vanity Fair. His cues here are rooted in the light romantic chamber music of the 19th century, though they frequently bristle with a more contemporary energy and aplomb. Offering counterpoint to Danna's dignified, oft-precious classical confections and mining the story's more sensual human dimensions are pop chestnuts from the era (The Andrews Sisters' saucy "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon" and Mills Brothers' jaunty "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries"), as well as fine contemporary takes of "They Didn't Believe Me" and Noel Coward's "Mad About the Boy" by Denzel Sinclair and Alison Jicar's elegant read of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
Beautiful melody but lacks variety.......2005-04-11
Being Julia OST has a beautiful main melody which occurs over and over again throughout the tracks. I especially like "Curtain Up" and "Quite Alone". However, Being Julia OST doesn't have other strong melody to show along side with the main melody which seems a little too simple for a complete album. The movie is great too. Annette Bening's performance is outstanding.
