Customer Reviews of Isn't It Romantic: Capitol Sings Rodgers And Hart
Capitol's stars cover the songs of Rodgers and Hart "Isn't It Romantic," the Capitol Sings collection of songs by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, is one of the lesser collections in the series by default simply because there just are not as many great songs by this duo in comparison to Rodgers & Hammerstein, Irving Berlin, or Cole Porter. In comparison to those other albums this one is one of the slowest in terms of the average tempo of the songs, which is to be expected when you have Mel Torme doing "Blue Moon," Dolores Gray singing "Isn't It Romantic," and Gordon MacRae covering "My Funny Valentine." But even Vic Damone's "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" sounds just too darn slow to my ear. These recordings span from the Dinning Sisters's 1943 version of "Where or When" to the 1967 cover of "It Never Entered My Mind" by Nancy Wilson. The standout tracks are Peggy Lee's jazzy "The Lady Is A Tramp," Jane Froman's "With A Song In My Heart," and Les Brown & His Band of Renown's version of Rodger's instrumental "Slaughter On Tenth Avenue," long a personal favorite of mine. As always there is a healthy mix of name artists such as Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughn and the Andrews Sisters with forgotten names such as Susan Barett, June Christy and the Dinning Sisters. The entire Capitol Sings series is a treat for those who have favorite musical composers and are not adverse to hearing slightly different versions of their greatest hits.
An absolutely fantastic compilation
I all ready have the Ella Fitzgerald version of Songbooks, and it's terrific, though there are songs on that compilation that I don't dig too well. This compilation more than makes up for it. Check out "My Funny Valentine" by Gordon MacRae ("Oklahoma!"). Absolutely FANTASTIC rendition. Lots of energy and charisma. This song is worth the price of the CD alone. The rest of the CD is fantastic, from the beatnick styled 'The Lady is a Tramp' to the beautiful harmony of the Four Freshmen in 'Spring is Here'. If you're a fan of Rodgers and Hart, you'll really love this set.
