From My Heart»rank: 116818by: Daniel Rodriguez
0ur opinion: :The tragic events of 9/11 produced their share of unexpected heroes, few more unlikely than Daniel Rodriguez, the NYPD's 'singing cop.' The Puerto Rican-American tenor's by now familiar rendition of 'God Bless America' won over the hearts of his city, then nation--but took shots from a few cynical critics, too. Rodriguez emerged from the experience with career mentoring from no less than Placido Domingo, and this sophomore release gratifyingly proves that Rodriguez was no marketing fluke. Tellingly, the musician bookends this collection with personal tributes to the ...

Song of America»rank: 147775by: Charles Tomlinson Griffes, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Charles Naginski, Ned Rorem, American Traditional, Elinor Remick Warren, Kurt Weill, Haydn Wood, Michael Parloff, Jay Ungar, Armen Guzelimian, Craig Rutenberg, David Alpher, Evan Stover, Garrison Keillor, Mark Rust
0ur opinion: :Thomas Hampson is a persuasive advocate for these treasures from the Library of Congress' vast collections, so this CD's generous sampling leaves you wanting more. lt covers the American songbook in all its variety, from traditional 'folk' items like Shenandoah to Stephen Foster to the immigrants Erich Korngold and Kurt Weill to Leonard Bernstein and contemporary composers. Hampson adjusts his flexible, light baritone to fit each song. The voice is full and resonant on Danny Deever, simple and direct in 19th-century traditional songs and ballads, and nuanced ...

Majesty of America»rank: 145679by: Irving Berlin, Mormon Tabernacle Choir
0ur opinion: :This two-CD set is a newly remastered compilation of 28 songs taken from the renowned Mormon Tabernacle Choir's recordings of the 196Os and '7Os. The Choir, directed by Richard P.

The Broadway Album»rank: 45269from: Sony
0ur opinion: :As its title indicates, this 1985 recording marked Barbra Streisand's return to her Broadway roots (significantly, she had dropped her pop-period Guilty perm and returned to straight hair). The CD contains a broad selection of show tunes, from Guys and Dolls's 'Adelaide's Lament' to Sweeney Todd's 'Not While l'm Around.' But let's face it: this may also be one of Babs's most dated albums, due to typically '8Os synthesizer-heavy arrangements that simply don't work with the material. Company's 'Being Alive' is scarred by a preening alto sax, ...
