Sometimes leading ladies known strictly for their acting sing so memorably in a film you're compelled to buy the soundtrack just to hear them again (think Drew Barrymore in Lucky You, Gwyneth Paltrow in Duets, and Michelle Pfeiffer in The Fabulous Baker Boys). To be sure, that will happen with Evening: Claire Danes performs the standard "Time After Time" with enough tenderness in the film to make the soft-hearted rush out and scoop up her rendition on CD. Trouble is, they won't find one--Danes' version doesn't appear on the soundtrack. But if you think that makes this soundtrack overlookable, guess again. No one with a romantic streak can resist Ella Fitzgerald's masterful recording of "Time After Time," and no one with a sense for what gives a score grandeur and sophistication will want to miss Jan A.P. Kaczmarek's beautiful handiwork. Best of all, though, is a long-forgotten gem near disc's end--Anita O'Day's dreamy "Stella by Starlight" is music to swoon by. --Tammy La Gorce
