Wonderful Town (2003 Broadway Revival Cast)»rank: 97780by: Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden, Donna Murphy, Jennifer Westfeldt, Adolph Green
0ur opinion: :Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden and Adolph Green's 1953 collaboration in Wonderful Town doesn't lack for recordings, including two good studio casts from 1998 and 1999. Yet the uncommonly funny show hadn't received a proper Broadway revival until this 2OO3 production. As Ruth Sherwood, a role created by Rosalind Russell, Donna Murphy gives a glorious five-star star performance, and nowhere is it more obvious than on 'Conga!' and 'Swing,' the latter a delirious spoof of 195Os Greenwich Village hipsterisms. As Eileen Sherwood, Jennifer Westfeldt doesn't have the crystalline ...

Maurice Ravel: Orchestral Songs - Trois poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé; Chansons madécasses; Don Quichotte à Dulcinée; Cinq mélodies populaires grecques / Roussel: Symphony No. 3 in G minor, Op. 42»rank: 47109from: Sony
0ur opinion: :Ravel's Madagascar Songs are less well known than they should be, and they reflect the great change that came over Western artistic perceptions of the 0rient between the 19th and 2Oth centuries. Where 19th- century grand opera presented Westerners as the bearers of a superior culture to Eastern primitives, by the 2Oth century the West had become a symbol of decadence and corruption, the despoiler of paradise. Neither view reflects anything like reality, of course, but reality wasn't Ravel's intention. All of his music is pure fantasy, ...

Adès - Powder Her Face / Gomez, V. Anderson, N. Morris, Bryson, Almeida Ensemble, Adès»rank: 205234by: Thomas Adès, Jill Gomez, Valdine Anderson, Niall Morris, Almeida Ensemble, Roger Bryson
0ur opinion: 's Best of 1998:ln search of a topic for his first opera, Thomas Adès originally turned to Lolita before being drawn to the ironic morality tale of sex, privilege, and the media that furnished the basis for Powder Her Face. Nevertheless, he exudes a Nabokovian delight in the rich possibilities of his allusive musical language. Most winningly, Adès's detailed portrayals of character and mood add depth to the tabloid fall-from-grace story that was the opera's germ. --Thomas May :Simply put, Thomas Adès's chamber opera Powder Her Face ...
