CD Reviews

"songs you always wanted to hear the most"
J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 03/17/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Varese Sarabande presents exciting musical theater of today - composers and lyricists drawing on every genre of music for their inspiration. And to carry out those wishes is Emily Skinner - each track will float your boat, go onto the next one, and when you find one you connect with, by all means play it over and over again - she's got it all on this album.Emily's favorite composers vary - Stephen Sondheim, Alan Menken, Leslie Bricusse, Tim Rice, Cy Coleman, Stephen Schwartz, Bill Russell, Lynn Ahrens...but the arrangments shine bright from Todd Ellison and outstanding orchestration by David Siegel...awesome broadway highlights from this talented young lady.Special thanks to - Bruce Kimmel (producers), Vincent Cirilli (engineer) Alice Ripley (vocal/duets) and Varese Sarabande...if you enjoyed this CD, you might try other albums by Emily Skinner - "Duets" (1998 - Varese Sarabande) and "Unsuspecting Hearts" (1999 - Varese Sarabande)...the entire album spells "Broadway and Theater" featuring our wonderful hostess - EMILY SKINNER!Total Time: 55:21 on 15 Tracks...Varese Sarabande 302 062 102 2...(2001)"

"Emily Skinner creates a soulful, delightful recording. And don't fret, her partner-in-crime, Alice Ripley makes guest appearances on "You'll Never Get Away From Me/Together Wherever We Go," "I Could Always Go To You," and "Ballyshannon." In keeping with Duets and Unsuspecting Hearts, Emily brings a wonderful mix of Broadway showtunes, everything from classic Broadway to Broadway now to some of the most obscure musicals. There are also some non-Broadway tracks on this CD that are beautiful, "My Brother Lived in San Francisco" reduces me to tears. But my favorite track on this CD is "Ballyshannon," one of Emily's duets with Alice. This is from the musical James Joyce's The Dead, (2000 Tony Award nomination) and since there is no soundtrack released I delight in re-living the moments that I saw on the Tonys last year. If you weren't an Emily Skinner fan before, you will be now. It's impossible to hate her or Alice Ripley after sampling this cabaret CD. I've hardly ever called an album "perfect," but that's not even where I'd BEGIN to describe this one."
Breathtaking!

"Emily Skinner is a true Broadway great. Her work in "Side Show" was worthy of all the acclaim that she (and co-star Alice Ripley) recieved. This album does not disappoint. This gal can sing pretty much ANY style - from the soft "Lazy Afternoon" to the powerful "Be Good Or Be Gone." Also, Emily's version of "My Brother Lived In San Francisco" from "Elegies" is absolutely gorgeous. I had the pleasure of seeing Emily perform that song live at the All-Star concert version of "Elegies" (a benefit for the Momentum AIDS Project) and it was by far one of the best moments in theatre I have ever experienced. I look forward to seeing/hearing what Emily comes up with next because she is truly an AMAZING talent.One clarification: At the time this review was written, the ... track listing includes the song "Maid Of The Mist" which was cut from "The Full Monty." Please note that this track is ONLY available on copies of this CD purchased directly from ..."
