It's a revue of 16 of his cabaret and theater songs, directed by Daisy Prince (Hal's daughter) and realized by a crack cast of Andrea Burns, Jessica Molaskey, Brooks Ashmanskas, and Ty Taylor (who sang the role on this recording only because cast member Billy Porter had a contractual conflict), with Brown himself leading a small combo from the piano. Soaring melodies and irresistible rhythms mark a wide range of songs that encompass jazz ('Just One Step'), gospel ('The River Won't Flow'), funk ('Steam Train'), and Kurt Weill ('Surabaya Santa,' sort of Mrs. Claus's lament as it would be sung by Lotte Lenya). Most memorable are two songs of lost love: the Ashmanskas-Burns duet 'I'd Give It All for You,' which perfectly captures romantic yearning, and Molaskey's wry yet poignant 'Stars and the Moon,' which has become something of a jazzy standard, recorded by such luminaries as Audra McDonald and Betty Buckley. Brown went on to win the 1999 Best Score Tony for his powerful Parade, then reunited with Prince on The Last 5 Years. --David Horiuchi Customers who bought this item also bought The Last 5 Years (2002 Off-Broadway Cast) Songs for a New World: Piano/Vocal Selections Parade (1998 Original Broadway Cast) Spring Awakening (2006 Original Broadway Cast) Wearing Someone Else's Clothes Customer Reviews for: Songs For A New World (1996 Original New York Cast) Rating - Songs For A New World Wonderful Music Great CD. What a fantastic composer. Love his music. Can't wait for new broadway musical CD to come out. Rating - smart and funny I bought this to replace a copy that a friend walked off with last year. Christmas just isn't Christmas for me without several airings of Surabaya Santa. I'd like to think that Jason Robert Brown will move past his demonstrable facility with pastiche to do some unique work. Certainly, he's demonstrated on this CD that he understands his predecessors. I eagerly await what he can do as himself. Rating - Songs for A New World - A truely magnificant musical that soars! The show, Songs For A World has been the "under ground" hit for musical theater for years. More recently has the muscial come up to be more and more well known (when in 2003 lyrisit/composer Jason Robert Brown's newer show, The Last 5 Years grew widely accomplished). Songs For A New World first showed off-Broadway in 1995. Jason Robert Brown delivered what is now one of muscial theaters hidden treasurs.
