Speaking of Steel Pier, I've always said the all-too-short prelude, with that plaintive piano solo, was the most beautiful music on Broadway that season.
I'd also include the Bolero from Grand Hotel.
And I have a fondness for the Pick-Pocket Tango from Redhead, which I used to play a lot while waiting for the Grand Hotel recording to finally be released, because it sorta-kinda reminded me of the Bolero in places. |
