Old Friends [Limited Edition]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Perhaps sensing that their Collected Works felt a bit skimpy with only tracks from their five studio albums included, this collection features 15 previously unreleased tracks including live material, demos, and studio outtakes previously unreleased, alongside a substantial number of the duo's hits. Early demos point up Paul Simon's excellent acoustic guitar fingerpicking and emerging songwriting. "The Sound of Silence" is featured in its original undubbed form and the later overdubbed band version that became the hit. The duo's strongest work is all here and the addition of several B-sides left off their collected works makes this a helpful collection to have around. --Rob O'Connor

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Great CD.......2006-08-06

Simply the Best.......2005-06-29

Inconsistent, but mostly excellent.......2004-03-21

"Celebration" is not strong enough a word.......2003-04-30

I have been a major Sondheim fan for quite some time, and I finally obtained a copy of this album. I was blown away by the excellent cast and phenomenal selection of music. It is obvious how much work went into this production, considering that this is the live recording of a one time show, and it's flawless. The songs cover all of his shows with the exception of "Passion," which was released 3 years after this show. Also, the shows for which he wrote only lyrics are ommited, like West Side Story, Gypsy, etc. Thus, you can find material from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Anyone can Whistle, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Merrily we Roll Along, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, and Assassins.

There are two striking things about this CD (besides the music and performers themselves). First of all, some of the songs are completely stylistically reworked. The most obvious are "Good Thing Going" and "I Never do Anything Twice." Both are traditionally very ballady with a piano accompaniment, but here they have been redone as jazzy tunes. The result is excellent. Such reworkings demonstrate that Sondheim writes music for virtually any style, and in these cases, across several styles. It's a great example of his variety. The other interesting thing is how many songs have overlapping melodies of songs from different shows. Case in point, "Our Time" and "No one is Alone" are sung seperately by the Harlem Boys Choir and Betty Buckley (the original Grizabella in Webber's atrocious "CATS," although Buckley was excellent) respectively, and then combined. Putting these two songs together offer different meanings to each, and the music is only enhanced. Another example, the trio of "Waiting for the Girls Upstairs," "Love, I Hear," and "Live Alone and Like It" are sung in that order, and then the latter two are combined. Again, the meanings of the songs change, this time in an almost narrative style, and offering different takes on love in the same montage. Lastly (at least for this review, there are more), Dorothy Laudon's (the original Ms. Hannigan in Annie) combination of "Losing my Mind" and "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" is brilliant. Those who are familiar with these songs will wonder how exactly they fit, but trust me, they do. She swtiches back and forth between melodies to create a number that starts poignant and beautiful, and soon moves to become uproariously funny. Both the song reworkings and overlapping melodies of unrelated songs are all for the better.

I recommend this recording to anyone wanting to get better acquainted with some of Sondheim's best work, or those already familiar who want to hear a tour de force of phenomenal music. It has been said that Sondheim is a masterful lyricist (which he is), but lacks real talent for music. This CD is the final proof that such critics are wrong. His music may take a few listenings to get into, contrary to Webber or Wildhorn, but unlike those two, he doesn't cater to the audience. He challenges them to think outside of traditional musical theater in a glorious repertoise of shows that reach for a smarter, more sophisticated form.

A maginificent evening, a magnificent album.......2001-12-16

This wonderful double CD shows off the best and brightest of the musical theatre composer and it is, as one person put it, "an embarassment of riches." With songs from his finest works done in amazing arrangements (listen to that harmony in "We Had a Good Thing Going"!) combined with fabulous performers this is a Sondheim lovers delight.

My favorite song is, without a doubt, Dorothy Louden and her wonderful medley of "Losing My Mind" into "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" followed very closely by the recently departed Madeline Kahn singing "Getting Married Today."

good soundtrack for halloween.......2005-07-14

REMasterpiece!.......2003-01-21

In the liner notes I read the original soundtrack only consisted of five songs, the five songs we hear sung in the film. "One song/I'm Wishing", "Hi Ho", "The Yodeling Song", "Some day my prince will come", and "Whistle while you work". Over the years, the instrumental musical score was thrown in to create a wonderful masterpiece of a soundtrack.

I highly recommend purchasing this. If you like the music from the movie, you will love this. After hearing this for the first time(I've now heard it at least 100, thanks to my 2 yr. old), the movie is brought out to be more of a musical adventure as well as a wonderful story to be told.
This is my son's favorite c.d., and he has so much fun dancing and singing along.

A Fuller C.D. With Potenial..........2003-12-27

It starts out on a high note with "the Rest of my life" I Have to be honest! I really hate this track, it doesn't phase me why Prince did not bother to release this, and a poor Choice fro an opening of the C.D. The Repetitive Keyboard beats are annoying and Prince Reciting "The rest day of my life " is rather haunting!
The Comes The Funky "Its about that walk" This was too upbeat to be a funk song, it sorta disgusted me at first because it was entirely too cheesy! But it grew onto me it can be enjoyable after a few listens!
This Track is probably Worth The money itself, the extended Version Of "She Spoke 2 me" Most only heard this song on low sound quality bootlegs, a Beautiful Fusion Of jazz and R&B, This track was the only reason I purchased the C.D.
Next is 5 Women... Great Song, the beat is rather Catchy! But not what IM used too from prince so it entirely doesn't appeal to me!
During this Point of the C.D. i was about to shut it off but then this song kept me interested again, The Hypnotic Jazz Flows caught me in a bind, This Song would go perfectly "When the lights do go down" This is Possibly the Prelude to Much of Prince's Success in Jazz Prior Rainbow Children and N. E. W. S. the Groovy Instrumental is to keep your toes tapping and your lips smacking your lovers tongue,
Then there's my little pill...
I Generally Hate this Song 2 , The Lyrical Organisation is annoying and the Melody is quite Off and annoying, I skip this track!
There Is lovely Sounds like a Live tune! It has quite some potential but it gets tedious the first listen, this one needs a few....
And Ha The Title Track "Old Friends 4 sale" This is a Watered Down Version of the Original Track that Premiered on the film Under The Cherry Moon, the Original Version Told of Treachery in Prince land, Prince's Former band Mates the famed Producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Louis, The Topic of Speculation Amongst the Prince "Fam" base, This is a watered Down Version that was Rewritten by Prince because the original was too personal to him, its All right but i prefer the Original
Sarah Is Reminiscent Of Morris Day Comically Funny! Its great to listen too with friends and just laugh about it
And It Closes with the R&B EXTRAORDINARY! At least it ended off on a good point I was left smiling afterwards most of the reason why I didn't return the C.D. Extraordinary is Great finish to a mediocre C.D.

All In All If your one of those Hard-core Prince Fans Buy this C.D., But if your New Just go to Apple music store or PRESS PLAY and Download 4 of the CDs songs for 99 cents, If your looking for Jazz trax from His PURPLE Majesty i Suggest Buying "The Rainbow Children" and his new Grammy nominated C.D. " N. E. W. S. "
