With my commentary-
1. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Easily the funniest and best score in years! Well produced as well!)
2. The Light in the Piazza (Same here, except for the funny)
3. Sondheim Sings Volume 1 (It's not all new stuff, but it was very interesting to hear Sondheim sing his stuff.)
4. Pacific Overtures (I don't really like this show, but I thought this recording was great.)
5. The Producers Film Soundtrack (I know much of it is the same as the Broadway recording, the performers, the orchestrations, etc. but to me it just felt like an old time musical motion picture soundtrack, someting out of the 50s and 60s. I really admire that and enjoy that.)

"1. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Easily the funniest and best score in years! Well produced as well!) "
Really? It's the most boring score since Light in the Piazza. I've heard elevator music that's more inspiring and fun.
