CD Reviews

Very intersting, but ...
Terry Carroll | Canada | 11/14/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Well, you'd never buy this for Stephen Songheim's singing voice! This probably should be the first volume of the series, since it has reviews of his earlier work, but the songs here are very obscure indeed. Almost all of them are student works, or works written for friends etc. They are really interesting to hear especially as a historical curiosity, (although I don't think I will be playing the CD again without skipping the cut "10 years old" which is basically just annoying).

I found that after a few hearings the cd really grows on you. It is not surprising however that these musicals in general were never produced, if these were the only performances heard by backers etc.

P.S. classics should consider having professional performing musicians perform the never before recorded songs to get a better idea of their merit."
