As Paul Gambaccini points out in his liner notes to this collection, Andrew Lloyd Webber has been good to the female characters in his musicals, often giving them melodic, affecting ballads to sing. In turn, several female performers have emerged as musical stars singing those songs, among them Elaine Paige, Patti LuPone, and Sarah Brightman. They, along with many others, are heard here, sometimes in recordings drawn from the cast albums to Lloyd Webber's shows. For example, Yvonne Elliman, the first Mary Magdalene in the 1970 studio cast recording of Jesus Christ Superstar, performs "I Don't Know How to Love Him," and Barbara Dickson, who scored a British hit with "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" from the 1976 Evita studio cast album, sings it again here. Things get a little more complicated thereafter. The compilers have opted for Broadway's Betty Buckley for "Memory" from Cats, shunting aside Paige, who introduced it in the West End. Paige, who was also the West End's first Evita (although Julie Covington, not included on this disc, originated the role on the 1976 studio cast album), is only included here performing "Rainbow High" from that show. This oddity and others on the album may be explained by the apparent need -- since there was an opportunity -- to have Madonna sing "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" from the movie version of Evita. That meant both Paige and LuPone (Broadway's Evita) had to be given other songs. LuPone might have done a song from Sunset Boulevard, a show she opened in London. But her controversial replacement for the Broadway version by Glenn Close perhaps scotched that. Close sings Sunset Boulevard's "With One Look," despite its being somewhat beyond her range, while ...

Rachmaninoff's Études-Tableaux, insofar as the overarching history of the romantic piano movement is concerned, stand at the very end of the evolution of the genre. Both opuses (33 and 39) are rife with vivid imagery, and some of the etudes here are more tableau-ish in character than they are etudes proper. Many brushstrokes inimical to Rachmaninoff's larger art are, of course, noticeable in the etudes. A signature virtuosic density and a nuanced harmonic stylization are both present here. As with other Rachmaninoff s compositions, Études-Tableaux contain several exemplars of ancient Russian music--from the sounds of the ancient cathedrals' bells to a plain monastic monody. At the same time, Études-Tableaux for the first time exhibit a few compositional nuances that would be found throughout Rachmaninoff's later works. The use of a thematic shift in several etudes is a good illustration here. For instance, Etude No. 2 (Opus 39) uses the Dies irae theme, which during the romantic movement was widely used as a theme of death (and, it should be noted, was subsequently borrowed by Rachmaninoff for other pieces as well). And yet, this theme is introduced here on the surface only, in a capacity of a faint, suggested harmonic pattern. The actual and the main theme of the etude, to be sure, is found in the upper register. For Rachmaninoff at least, it does not appear in the usual form of a pronounced, recognizable melody--instead, ...
