Free Music Review: Utterly beguiling
Hit: 5 Stars
Everything seems right about this recording--the arrangements, the performances, the selections. I especially like the sound of the smaller pit orchestra. It makes a nice counter to the big Warner Bros. sound in "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (which is enjoyable in its own right).
Colin Pritchard stands in beautifully for Cohan in the signature vocals. His historically-grounded performance makes me appreciate even more what the brilliant James Cagney accomplished in Yankee Doodle Dandy. And Cagney must have spent time with Cohan to prepare for his role in the biopic. Between the two performers, we have a pretty good vocal portrait of Cohan.
With this recording, the curtains part and we can imagine ourselves in the audience at a turn-of-the-(19th to 20th)century revue of George M. Cohan's best.
