CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description In his day, Vincent Youmans was every bit as famous as his peers Gershwin, Rodgers, Berlin, Kern, and Porter. Through the Years, his final Broadway score, is perhaps his most beautiful and accomplished -- The New York Times originally called it "felicitously melodious throughout, and in its mood, design and attempt to achieve a certain organic unity, far ahead of its predecessors? -- yet it has never been preserved on disc. Here, in its world premiere recording, a brilliant cast led by Heidi Grant Murphy and Brent Barrett brings this newly restored classic back to life. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsAn unusual and beautiful score 10/05/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'd never heard of Through the Years, but I was intrigued by the cast, whose names I did recognize, so I decided to give it a try. How nice to hear a recording of a forgotten musical that was actually worth digging up in the first place! I only knew of Vincent Youmans from Tea for Two and a couple of other songs, but this score is in a totally different vein: romantic, lush and beautiful. Heidi Grant Murphy shows a real affinity for this kind of material, as Dawn Upshaw did a decade ago; her performance of the title song is absolutely gorgeous, with no opera-singer affectations. I've already played that track a dozen or more times for friends. She's backed up by a great supporting cast: Brent Barrett, always a favorite, whose voice seems to have grown richer with age; Hunter Foster and Jennifer Cody, real-life husband and wife, who sparkle in their comic roles; and Philip Chaffin, who's new to me, but who has a lovely lyric tenor that perfectly suits the Irish flavor of the material."
