GREATEST COLE PORTER COLLECTION EVER!!!_A classy, witty, joyous, wonderfully rich piece of American history

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2006

Professionally and lovingly compiled by The Yale Collection of Historical Sound Recordings (HSR) and The Indiana Historcal Society, this box set is PHENOMENAL!!!(probably the nicest I will ever have the pleasure of owning..if I could give it 10 STARS out of a possible 5 I would)!!! First of all it includes 3 CD's (69 recordings/songs), 1 BRILLIANT BOOK (Cole Porter History, songs, performers, disography, etc), all enclosed in a wonderfully padded box decorated with the cover art of never-surpassed Broadway artist/caricaturist, Al Hirschfeld. Second, it encompasses the very hard to find recordings of Cole Porters sassy songs of the 1930's; the decade that he broke onto and redefined Broadway. Third, you get to enjoy several different takes of 1 CP song performed by perhaps the best artists of all time, the likes of which include Judy Garland, Louis Armstrong, Teddi King, Lee Wiley, Billie Holiday, Mabel Mercer, Bill Evans, Sylvia Syms, Bobby Short, Fred Astaire, Artie Shaw, Rosemary Clooney, Benny Goodman Orchestra, Ethel Merman, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald,Tony Martin, James Stewart (yes! Jimmy Stewart sings), Lena Horne, and of course the man himself: COLE PORTER (and countless others). Not only will you have one of the best collections of Cole Porter's music but will also be introduced to the wonderful voices and jazzy styles of some artists you may have never been exposed to before-and I guarantee that this collecton will inspire you to go out and find their own recordigns too. Fourth, all the songs are organized under the subtitle of each 1930's CP Broadway musical for which it was written (i.e.The New Yorkers(1930), The Gay Divorce(32), Nymph Erant(33), Anything Goes(34), Miscellaneous Song(34), Adios Argentina(34), Jubilee (35), Born To Dance(36), Red, Hot, and Blue (36), Rosalie(37), You Never Know(38), The Sun Never Sets (38), Leave it To Me (38), The Man Who Came To Dinner (39), Broadway Melody of 1940 (39),Du Barry Was A Lady (39) -Finally, (as if this isn't enough) there is a FANTASTIC/VERY INFORMATIVE/TREASURE of a book enclosed in this 3-CD set that includes a wonderful history of Cole Porter, a break down of each song and (both it's own history as well as the very interesting stories of the peformers who sing it), an irreplacable CP Discography, and INCREDIBLE BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOS seen throughout! Can I get any better than this? What are you waiting for. BUY IT and demand they re-release this collection. In the meantime, if your debating spending the extra cash for this now OOP collection, I can assure you-IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!

Cole Porter Was Dealt A Bad Hand By Indiana Historical Society

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2023

Verified Purchase

Produced by Indiana Historical Society, the 3-CD collection of original Cole Porter songs, a master of the American Song Book, was dealt a bad hand - not one CD will play all the way through. I have two high-end CD players, both kept spitting these CDs out, I cleaned professionally cleaned them - nothing. Save your money, only buy digital music on-line, CDs today are plastic trash. 02/03/2023

authentic versions of songs

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

The recordings do not have uptempo versions or scat singing on them like versions of songs recorded after WWII, which I like. There were many versions of the same songs. Still, it is a good value

Interesting & Of Historical Importance

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2007

This rare recording from 1967 at the University of Southern California is a gem featuring Broadway/Hollywood/recording greats Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Ethel Merman, Gene Kelly, and Jimmy Stewart, with Roger Edens on the piano and emceed by Garson Kanin. Each takes a stab at Porter songs they made famous while sprinkling them with interesting antidotal stories and personal remberances of Porter. A must have for the Porter devoutee.
