Binding: Audio CDBrand: SONY GROUP EAN: 0826663976458 Format: Soundtrack Item Dimensions: Label: Shout Factory Manufacturer: Shout Factory MPN: 2666397645 Number Of Discs: 3 Publisher: Shout Factory Release Date: March 13, 2007 Studio: Shout Factory Editorial Review: Product Description: Assembled as a companion piece/pledge item for the 2007 PBS television concert special Movie Songs Live this boxed collection is divvied into separate discs each devoted to movie themes Oscar-winning songs and film musicals. While the vast and rich history of the motion picture music genre cannot possibly be compressed into any three-CD set the compilers did a... More remarkable job of covering the touchstones -- although there are only 54 tracks here in all there is little to quibble about when playing the what's-included-and-what's-left-out? game. These are all original recordings not remakes by cheesy pops orchestras or Broadway wannabes. Most of the chosen tracks are instantly recognizable certified classics so ingrained into the collective consciousness that all it takes is a few seconds before you're singing or humming along (so don't be surprised if after spinning a disc you find yourself walking around belting out "Maria I just met a girl named Maria" or whistling the theme from The Bridge on the River Kwai). Great movie music will do more than remind you of the film in which it was originally featured and many of the tracks here are evocative of entire eras deeply embedded emotions and in the larger sense the art of cinema itself.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS UPC: 826663976458 Manufacturer No: 2666397645 Average Rating:

Read More Rating:  - Memory Lane revisitedThis is a very nice CD collection that I enjoy very much. They are original recordings so you have to be aware that a couple of the older songs sound scratchy just like they did when you put the record on the record player. It was a shame they couldn't get a crisper sound with all the new technology but it does make you aware how the sound quality has improved over the years. This would make a great gift to anyone over 50. I put mine in the car and just sing away and before I know it I am at my destination. ...

This collection is worth every penny. Enjoy it! |
