Parade and Ragtime hands down...although you will need a large box of tissues after listening to both of them!!!

Parade and Songs for a New World.

When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere

Ragtime and the Assassins Revival.

Also since you seem to be into Sondheim, Let me suggest the OBC Recording of A Little Night Music. It's my favorite ever!

Parade and Ragtime. This isn't on your list, but you also should SERIOUSLY consider The Last 5 Years as your next purchase.

Ragtime and the Assassins Revival (although I prefer the Original Cast Recording, you should buy that).

If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....

Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

From your list RAGTIME for sure (you have already purchased it) and, for a change of pace, I strongly suggest getting the OBC of CITY OF ANGELS, one of Cy Colemam's best scores and a delight from start to finish.

Enjoy!

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
