Rich in humor, romance, and appealing characters, to say nothing of some of the most exuberant and lovingly crafted songs to be found in any show, Frank Loesser's Guys and Dolls is as close as you can get to a perfect musical. In the theatre, it's impossible not to get caught up in the swinging title song, the tender duets of reforming gangster Sky Masterson and mellowing Salvation Army missionary Sarah Brown ("I've Never Been In Love Before"), or the risqué nightclub set pieces and comic lamentations of the perennial fiancée, Miss Adelaide ("Take Back Your Mink"). Here, for a complete recording, the show springs to life in the studio thanks to some sympathetic performances and John Owen Edwards's taut conducting. Kim Criswell is an excellent Adelaide, funny and touching in her frustrated attempts to get Nathan down the aisle. Most poignant of all, Loesser's daughter Emily sings Sarah Brown's songs with a natural simplicity. They are well matched by Gregg Edelman and Tim Flavin as their respective beaux. It's a treat to hear, with the added bonus of songs written specially for the 1955 film. --Piers Ford

5 out of 5 stars First Complete Recording a real treat.......2007-06-28

I love this musical, and have always lamented (no pun intended) the fact that half of Loesser's music rarely ends up on Cast Recordings. This studio recording rectifies all of these discrepencies and provides us with some truly unique and memorable audio performances; there are even a few bonus tracks for the history buffs in the crowd. But for me, the true reason to buy this CD is to hear the full score and the full orchestrations of Runyonland, Havana and the Crap Shooters Dance. As a director who stages a lot of musicals and who has performed the role of Nicely-Nicely Johnson six times to date I can tell you that this CD is a real asset for show preparation as well as pure enjoyment. If you're a stickler for consistent accents you may be disappointed at times with some of the vocals, but it ain't for lack of tryin'. These artists are first rate and, though sometimes miscast, in my humble opinion, the effort and the artistry is still there without a doubt. I'm sure that the late Frank Loesser must be smiling broadly to know that his entire creation is completely captured once and for all for us to enjoy. And I'm sure that Frank wouldn't be too unhappy that Emily Loesser stars in the piece, either! Buy it and enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars A Must-Have!.......2003-04-30

As I happily begin re-listening to this delightful 2-CD soundtrack, I can't help but be grateful to the powers-that-be who were wise enough to produce this recording. Every GUYS AND DOLLS fan should own it, because it is, in my humble opinion, the definitive recording. It is far superior to the others I have heard and own in its completeness and in its trueness to Loesser's score, which is such a pleasure to hear. Bottomline: It's brilliant! Order yours NOW!!

5 out of 5 stars A-plus!!!.......2002-07-16

Without question, the best played and sung performance to date. And don't forget, the most complete. Grateful to all involved for serving Frank Loesser's beautiful, witty and gutsy score so carefully. Proves that there are no reasons to change a musical score in any way to serve a production. I am not a purist (although I am a classically trained pianist), yet stick to the original all others who dare -- or should I say can! The orchestra is superb and very much alive. I hope that other musical shows that have not yet been given the full score recording treatment get similar attention to detail should they show up on disc.

5 out of 5 stars Grab this Recording...and I mean quick!.......2000-12-31

Guys and Dolls has been very well served on CD. This recording on Jay Records is a diamond in the rough. Several years ago there was a Broadway revival starring Nathan Lane and Peter Gallagher. From that wonderful production came a great CD, which every fan of this musical should own. The subject of this review is a studio recording made in 1995. It is in everyway just as outstanding a CD as the Broadway revival recording. In it are Kim Criswell as Adelaide, and Emily Loesser (Frank's daughter) as Sister Sarah. Both sing their roles with idiomatic charm. An added bonus to this very complete (2 CD) recording are new renditions of some tunes found only in the movie (starring Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando), including "A Woman in Love". It bears repeating, grab this recording before it goes out of print. I promise buyers will be delighted with this gem.

4 out of 5 stars This Almost Got 5 Stars.......2007-01-18

Lesley Garrett has a gorgeous voice, that much is obvious. And it shines on tracks like Ave Maria, Bess You Is My Woman Now, Et Si Demain and The Summer Knows. While her voice is a bit heavy for a musical theater repitoire her renditions of A Boy Like That/I Have a Love and I Dreamed A Dream work really, really well. However she runs into problems on tracks like Work For No One/Blackbird, Mambo Italiano (which doesn't fit the mood of the rest of the album at all), and Over the Rainbow. I think that these are songs that sound better with a more relaxed, less "legit" sound which Garrett seems to have trouble with. It's definately worth getting for the highlights I mentioned above, as well as her duets but Michael Ball and Bryn Terfel. Both are lovely. Really the presence of a few awkward tracks keeps this from a 5 star rating

5 out of 5 stars wonderfull oh lesley.......2002-02-15

lesley has excelled herself with superb songs from most genres with a tearjerking performance of over the rainbow and a fab swing your hips time with the cool mambo italliano
