REVIEW: Bolder Sister: The Brigitte Fassbaender Edition on Deutsche Grammophon (for Parterre Box)

This 11 CD collection confirms Fassbaender’s status as one of the greatest interpreters of recent times.

Adams, superb at crafting arcs of sound, can’t handle characters or narrative.

Does this legendary production, seen in close-up, retain it’s greatness? Yes… and no.

Even the hit songs in this early Jule Styne musical would recede in a better show.

As a cohesive evening of music drama, this ambitious double bill doesn’t quite add up.

To resurrect this astonishing show at all in a brief time frame is almost miraculous.

A wonderful musical performance, hampered by a misguided production.

The sexiest moment on Broadway this season features a 73-year-old man and a single button.

At Classic Stage, this pallid imitation of Brecht & Weill meets a director with the same aesthetic.

Rodgers and Hart’s 1938 dance musical proves impossible to resuscitate.
