Advantages: Moving, beautiful harmonies and solos. Disadvantages: Not everyone likes jazz
...Over the years my taste in different jazz styles has changed, but BillEvans still stands out as one of my favourite musicians; the artist who originally enticed me into the world of Jazz, and whose work has significantly affected my own style as a Jazz pianist. Recoded in 1981, ‘You Must Believe Ins Spring’ contains pieces of a less upbeat and syncopated style than that of his earlier work, and instead more flowing, beautiful pieces, played with the heart-felt lyricism for which Evans is renowned. Sticking to a jazz trio form, (piano with drums and double bass), Evan’s creates the perfect atmosphere in each piece through subtle textures and natural, unspoken collaboration with his fellow musicians. Being a huge fan of Evans I may appear somewhat biased in his favour; the album is after all one my favourite. But anyone who has some...

Advantages: The most magnificent and sublime soundtrack that offers something for almost everyone Disadvantages: The three source songs
...without compromising the aspects of the play too much and as such it does feature a lot of witty and theatrical dialogue that is perfectly adapted to the more real world of New York. With strong performances from all involved, Angels in America is one powerfully effective work that deserves all the praise it has got.
THE SCORE
When I bought the soundtrack for Angels in America, I was pretty much taking a leap of faith. My only real touch with the music was from one sound clip I had heard over a commercial on TV and got it without even reading any reviews of it whatsoever. (And I really wasn't even sure if that soundclip actually came from the film.) But after listening to the album twice around I was very relieved.

Advantages: A definite easy listen Disadvantages: Maybe too easy
...This CD was probably a strange choice for me as i've never bought a classical album before, but i was attracted by the front cover ( i know never judge a book by its cover, but it was a CD) which seemed to depict everything i was looking for. Something i could just lie back, listen to and drift away into my own little dream world.
Well it did exactly that. I drifted off to sleep after about track 6 and dint wake untill the CD had ended. This unfortunately meant id missed out on the majority of the songs but i soon listened to it again to get the full effect. It is definitely as described a very peaceful album. The music seems to lift you up and allow u to float above the world but i warn it does make u feel very drowsy.
Whether id advise u to buy it or not depends on if ur into classical music. Although saying that i wudnt...
