Pro Reviews: Composers On Broadway (Dig)

EXPERT RATING:

From AMG Reviews

This skimpy album of Gershwin music, with a running time barely over half an hour, is part of a skimpy series of Broadway songwriter albums issued at a discount price, which is good since they aren't worth much. Boasting only ten tracks, two of which are easy listening treatments of overtures by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra, the disc offers practically no information about the sources of the tracks, which come from deep within the archives of Universal Music. Only a few miscellaneous factoids accompany some of the tracks. The renditions are often effective, particularly Ethel Merman's readings of "I Got Rhythm" and "Embraceable You" (which were done in the 40s, by the way), but it's hard to imagine who the intended consumer of a cutrate collection like this is supposed to be.
