Since the original Broadway cast recording of Stephen Sondheim's Follies was a truncated affair that turned out to be both a disappointment and a disservice to a brilliant show with a brilliant cast, this 1985 concert performance from New York's Avery Fisher Hall set out to record the whole score, a set of pastiches of old songs and songwriters as performed by a cast of faded stars and the visions of their younger selves. The result was a star-studded roster backed by the New York Philharmonic led by Paul Gemignani, with principals Barbara Cook, Mandy Patinkin, Lee Remick, and George Hearn, supported by the likes of Carol Burnett, Liliane Montevecchi, and Liz Callaway. Even these stars can't quite match the original cast, and the results are somewhat uneven--from Cook's yearning "Losing My Mind" to Patinkin's you-love-it-or-you-hate-it schizophrenia in "Buddy's Blues." Other highlights include Elaine Stritch's wry "Broadway Baby," the two young couples' interplay in "You're Gonna Love Tomorrow/Love Will See Us Through," and the electrifying audience reactions to "Beautiful Girls" and "Who's That Woman?" (A documentary video was released, but unfortunately, it did not contain the complete show.) As a bonus, this two-CD set includes 45 minutes of instrumental music Sondheim composed for the 1974 French film Stavisky, including two melodies that had been cut from the original production of Follies. --David Horiuchi

Listening to this CD of "Follies" is as good as seeing it!

I've regretted not seeing "Follies" on Broadway. That production has become a legend. Not finding an acceptable DVD of "Follies", a kowing friend strongly recommended this live CD performance, which is so vibrantly performed I am seeing the show as well.

On two consecutive evenings in 1985, a star-studded cast entertained a nearly-as-star-studded audience in New York's Avery Fisher Hall (Lincoln Center). Objective: Produce and perform Stephen Sondheim's 1971 masterpiece FOLLIES, with the goal of preserving all the songs on a recording. On hand to entertain: Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Carol Burnett, Mandy Patinkin, Lee Remick, George Hearn (fresh from Jerry Herman's LA CAGE AUX FOLLES), Barbara Cook, Phyllis Newman, and many others. The objective was so well served that despite several noteworthy, full-scale FOLLIES CD's in the intervening 30 years, this version is in many ways the Gold Standard for FOLLIES CD's or close to it.

I can't go into all the details of FOLLIES or its history; besides, prior reviewers have covered that well. Suffice it to say that the show is nearly entirely sung, and the music comes in two kinds: First, Stephen Sondheim's modern theater music that conveys the emotions of four principal players returned for a reunion, who haven't seen each other since the lavish, Ziegfeld-like "Weismann Follies" revue closed thirty years prior (1941). The other half of the music consists of tunes in the style of the 1919-1941 period in which fictional Dimitri Weissman produced his follies. Too smart to be called "hommage" or "imitation," too clever to be called "satire" or "parody," only the term "pastiche" will serve for Sondheim's compositions. Sometimes slightly overblown (as in the quotation from the "Beautiful Girls" number in the caption above), sometimes lovingly familiar, Sondheim somehow managed to put his mindset in the era of the American Songbook and compose this paean to the past, a kind of ghost show-beneath-a-show so redolent of composers of the past like George Gershwin, Harold Arlen, Kurt Weill, Rodgers and Hart and Irving Berlin. Quite a few songs that have worked their way into the American consciousness in the intervening four decades have come from FOLLIES, including "Broadway Baby," "Losing My Mind," "In Buddy's Eyes," "The Story of Lucy and Jessie," and "I'm Still Here," which Carol Burnett made legend on this recording.

Apparently anxious to fill up the two-CD format, the folks at RCA have appended Sondheim's little-known film score for the 1974 French film, STAVISKY, which Philip French, reviewing for the TIMES of London, praised as the "tinkling thirties-pastiche foxtrot music of Stephen Sondheim..." Even without the bonus, this two-CD set is highly recommended. Is this the BEST of all possible FOLLIES? I can't say, but it's right up there. Every Sondheim fan should own this one. Note that this FOLLIES CD is based on live concert performances, so you will hear applause -- sometimes thunderous.

Good Stuff

When "genius" becomes an understatement.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 6, 2009

Verified Purchase

If I had to limit myself to only two recorded performances as proof of Stephen Sondheim's genius, this would be one of them, with the original cast album of "A Little Night Music" being the other.

And this is with the admission that every recording of each of these shows over the years has value and has added to our appreciation of America's greatest living composer for the Broadway stage, Stephen Sondheim. And it is also with the understanding that these two shows are but the best representation of Sondheim's art.

So, there you ares, the two best recordings, respectively, of the two shows which I feel best represent that seemingly bottomless well of creation Mr. Sondheim seems to draw upon.

The recording in question here is not only technically without peer, it effuses the joy so often missing from the recorded form. It is a live recording, almost always a plus. And even though we can't actually see the artists as they perform (the documentary video does give us glimpses - far to miserly for my taste) we can hear the joy of performing that virtually explodes out of their performances. It is impossible to not react.

This CD is beguiling, bewitching, and yes, electrifying. It is a snapshot which freezes forever a most amazing event in New York City that the whole world is allowed to share in forever.

Lucky us!

How very, very wonderful.

Sally has never been sung sweeter

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2010

Verified Purchase

Although Follies contains some of Sondheims most delicious music, the book and staging have always been a bit awkward and ill fitting. However this concert version which was performed on only two nights works like a charm. I have seen a number of productions including the original, but Miss Cook absolutly shines as Sally with her control of the difficults score. Since it was a concert performance a lot of the dialog was cut which streamlined this production as an amazing concert piece. It flowed like the full play was never able to do. Gerge Hearn,Lee Remick and Mandy Patkin are well cast as the other leads although I coulld have done with a little less schtick from MR Patenkin.The actors playing the younger versions of these four stood out in both vocal style and crisp phrasing. I can not think of one performer in this illustrious cast that did not do their character justice. However I would be remiss if I did not comment on Elaine Striche's commanding version of " Broadway Baby" which she performed with enough gusto to blow the roof off. This version of Follies is in a word "magical" and was truly a great night in thr theater that will certainly become a part of theater history.

Sondheim is King !

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 14, 2013

I have played this recording on vinyl many times & love the choice of singers (Barbara Cook ! George Hearn ! Mandy Patinkin! Lee Remick ! Elaine Stritch ! More, more, more !) . Needed the recording on CD & was not disappointed - on CD, I can hear more going on with the orchestra, & though I have not replayed the vinyl version for comparison, I believe the CD has additional dialogue not included on the earlier version. The singers of course sound even better than on the vinyl.
The set also includes Sondheim's score for the film STAVISKY . Never having seen the film, I still haven't made up my mind about the score. To me, it's just an extra added attraction - the set would have been sufficient without it, though perhaps it would have been more appropriate to add alternate versions of the FOLLIES songs if there was time to fill on the disc.
