Free Music Notes for Carnival (1961 Original Broadway Cast)
Free Music Review: A Pure Gem
Hit: 5 Stars
I recently had the pleasure of seeing the revival at the Kennedy Center and was blown away by this show. Totally delightful, beautiful score, warm, witty and engaging book, marvelous performances, all made it a memorable evening.
I had forgotten what a masterpiece of theater music this is. Her Face is one of the most gorgeous ballads written for American musicals. The carnival numbers are all catchy and rousing and the novelty pieces for the puppets are terrific. What a thrill the original production had to have been!
Free Music Review: Carnival is a gem
Hit: 5 Stars
Carnival is a gem of American musical theater. It's too bad that it's been largely ignored in favor of warhorses like Carousel, My Fair Lady and Mame.
The music is lovely and the lyrics are witty, and often poignant. The performers - Anna Maria Albergetti, Jerry Orbach and Kaye Ballard are in top form. Kaye Ballard's rendition of the tune "Humming" is a riot - musical comedy at its best.
If you enjoy Broadway musical comedy, you must have this CD in your library.
Free Music Review: GLORIOUS MELODIC MEMORY OF THE "GOLDEN DAYS'
Hit: 5 Stars
The music and lyrics are beautifl, dramatic poignient -and the themes as contempory as when they were written forty years ago. But, along with this are the voices of Kaye all;ard and Jerry Orbach of later TV fame and the magnoficent voice of Anna Maria Alberghetti, of Mousekateers lineage. Listening to this disc, you will laugh, scowl, pray , curse and rejoice-and if you "let go," love and hate. No!

Hit: 5 Stars
If you love the gentle charm of classical musicals, give this a listen. Alberghetti and Orbach are superb, as is Kaye Ballard. The score is uncommonly tuneful and conveys the emotional content of the script very well. It clings to the memory. My favorite tracks include Her Face and She's My Love. Again, Jerry Orbach's performance, as recorded here, must have been mesmerizing.
