Free Music Notes for Follies - The Complete Recording (1998 New Jersey Cast)Free Music Review: Finally, "Follies" is complete!
I admit it -- I am a "Follies" freak. Ever since I heard the New York concert recording back in 1986, I fell in love with this show. And now, at last, here is a recording that does full justice to this haunting, riveting score. No cuts, no substitutions, just the entire score (and then some) recorded for the first time ever. Even the admittedly trivial "Bolero d'Amour" is included. And the cast leaves little to be desired. Lawrence Guittard may not be as vocally free as he was in his "Little Night Music" and "Oklahoma" days, but he is a strong, intellectual Ben. Tony Roberts is a more angry, tortured Buddy than most, but it works. Dee Hoty offers us the best-sung Phyllis available, as well as a sympathetic characterization, and Donna McKechnie sounds as fresh and lovely as she did over twenty years ago in "A Chorus Line." As for the rest of the cast, there are truly no weak links. Ann Miller is a joy in "I'm Still Here;" rather than a hardened survivor, she sounds like she's enjoyed every minute of her journey. Liliane Montevecchi and Phyllis Newman both improve on their performances from the 1986 recording, and Kaye Ballard knows how to do "Broadway Baby" justice. As a bonus, we are also given an appendix of numbers, most with full orchestrations: "Can that Boy Foxtrot," "Uptown, Downtown," "All Things Bright and Beautiful," "Pleasant Little Kingdom," and more. If you love "Follies" this recording will rekindle that romance. If you don't know the show, buy this recording and prepare to be blown away.
