Album Description
"Charming, intelligent, and sophisticated ... tuneful and lyrical." -- Chicago Sun Times "Talented fellows Dan Levine and Peter Kellogg not only dug the essence out of Tolstoy's masterpiece but have strung it together with wit, color, and coherence." -- New York Post "Beguiling music! Anna Karenina does justice to Tolstoy." -- Newhouse Newspapers "Heartbreaking and hilarious ... sensuous and sweet." -- Pioneer Press "Broadway is lucky to be illuminated by the distinctive glow of Melissa Errico." -- New York Times "Errico displays a giddy exhilaration too rarely seen onstage." -- USA Today "The mastery of [Errico's] performance comes in the way she's able to keep two powerful emotions in play at once, whether in speech or song." -- San Francisco Chronicle * New orchestration by the composer! * Full forty-eight-piece orchestra includes strings from the New York Philharmonic. * An all-star Broadway cast includes Tony Award nominees Melissa Errico, Brian D'Arcy James, and Jeff McCarthy, as well as Drama Desk nominee Kerry Butler and Tony Award nominee Gregg Edelman.

 Such a Gem ! August 31, 2007

What a great, great pity this wonderful musical only ran for 46 performances in 1992 after being ravaged by the so-caled critics. It has some absolutely wonderful music, A superb duet, track 18, I've listened to it so many times. The whole cd is just wonderful with a slightly updated score from the composer, great orchestration not to mention the top class singing performances. You may need to hear the cd a couple of times to really appreciate its magic - taking you to a different world. Pick a nice evening, sit down in your conservatory, surround yourself with candles, a good bottle of red, turn the volume up and just enjoy.
Anna Karenina SOARS!!!! September 23, 2007

A beautiful, soaring score with voices to match. The combination of serious, haunting and humorous songs make the show come alive in my mind as I'm listening. It's a must have for Broadway music lovers.

I bought this simply because it is based on one of my favorite novels. Really, I fully expected to ridicule the plot, as I cannot see how you can possibly get a 800 page book down to a little over twenty songs.
Imagine my surprise when I wound up just loving it.
It stays surprisingly accurate to the novel, as far as it can, at least. It cuts out several portions, and the end after Anna's death is gone. Still, it is not terrible, and is certainly listenable for a fan of the novel.
As for music...this is just beautiful. The score, the performers, they are all perfect. The melodies are haunting at times, although there are those that are a bit lighter. Melissa Errico is superb as the title character; her voice is perfect for the songs.
This is definitely a musical that all should look at. You will not be disappointed.

I got tickets to see this musical when it was on Broadway. But my tickets were for two weeks after it opened and by then it had closed. Judging from the score, I'm glad I didn't get to see it. What I don't understand is why it was recorded.

If you're a musical buff, you'll want to own Anna Karenina. Brian D'Arcy James is a native son of Saginaw, Michigan, and we're all tremendously proud of his musical accomplishments. Anna Karenina will quickly become one of your favorite musicals. Not only is the story captivating, but the music reflects its timeless charm. Buy this CD and enjoy!
