“PS Classics' spectacular new two-disc set now becomes the best aural representation of this Sondheim classic. Krasker's decision to include not only the complete score, but also key dialogue scenes of Goldman's razor-sharp book, provides more purposeful context for all the songs. The painstaking detail and vivid orchestral performance project Follies' ghostly, surreal atmosphere more persuasively than previous recordings.”
–Houston Chronicle
“This new recording leaps past the others to share first place [with the original cast recording]; what's more, if you do not have any recordings of the show, I'd suggest starting with this one.”
–Playbill
“This richly produced CD must top any [holiday] list. It’s the American musical at its peak, deserving a place of pride in any show music collection.”
–Stamford (CT) Times
“A real wonder! PS Classics have outdone themselves. This is the recording of Follies that Sondheim fans have waited decades for.
”
–Style Chicago
“Simply thrilling! An album that, more so than any of the other existing recordings, allows listeners to re-experience the heartbreaking collision of past and present that's at the core of the piece. It's a glorious recording that will hold a special place in music theater lovers' collections for years to come.
”
–Theatermania
“One of the greatest of all theatre scores gets its fullest recording. The story of a crumbling theatre, a showgirls reunion, and the debris of two marriages all unites beautifully, and you don’t even have to see it to get it. Add this one to your collection if you love the musical theatre.
”
–Toronto Star
“Sumptuous! The dramatic and musical double whammy of the double-disc set leaves one sated and exhilarated. Bravo to those who put so much intelligence and artistry into this recording.”
– Talkin' Broadway
“PS Classics' recording provides a fuller experience of the entire show [than previous recordings]. The 28-piece orchestra creates a sound so sumptuous, the feeling is that of a cascading dream.”
