Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The culture-clash plot of filmmaker Gurinder Chada's surprise, soccer-girl-themed '02 hit Bend It Like Beckham couldn't offer American audiences much more than her bright, hand-picked sampler of India's pop music. But Chada's more traditional morality tale here (a limber adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice featuring Indian superstar Aishwarya Rai) shimmers with the intoxicating visual and musical splendors of a full-blown Bollywood-meets-Hollywood production. The song-score by noted Indian musical star Anu Malik is charged by propulsive folk rhythms ("Punjab Wedding Song," "Dola Dola"), yet laced with knowing Western pop conceits that range from Caribbean hip-hop ("No Life Without Wife") to the Broadway-suffused ballads "A Marriage Has Come to Town," "Take Me To Love (1&2)," and "Arrogance, Pride and Vanity." American R&B star Ashanti's sultry "My Lips Are Waiting" and "Touch My Body" complete Malik's enticing East-meets-West fusion, a delightful, dizzying primer to his country's most beloved film and music genre. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Sousa's marches.......2007-06-28

Excellent CD! I'm happy with the speed in which it arrived at our home.

4 out of 5 stars OK, But Not As Good As the Original.......2006-08-12

It's OK, but doesn't have the quality of Sousa's original songs which were also played by a United States Marine Band.

5 out of 5 stars Sousa Marches, MC Band.......2006-08-04

I was totally happy with the CD. It was everything I expected it to be. Thanks Much

5 out of 5 stars This is so great!.......2005-03-27

This music speaks to my inner being, my father was a Marine with the ETC, and it was not an easy time. Music like this helped him think about how the best things in life are two doors down on the left, just a shade away from peace. I love this music, track 13 speaks to me so much that I am not sure if I have the time to listen as much as I want to! Such great music!

5 out of 5 stars A Great Sousa Collection.......2004-12-15

These recordings seem to date from the 1960s and reflect a style of play that is impossible to find today. Some people might consider the sound to be too bright, the entrances too aggressive. But I think this is more authentic for Sousa than what one generally hears today. Sousa himself is known to have preferred "enthusiastic" entrances from his players, to have favored an "orchestral" sonority for his band and to have played his marches in strict tempo with no ritards or tempo changes. That is what you have on this disc, which features the Marine Band under Lt. Col. Albert Schoepper, who also conducts on Volume 3 of Altissimo's Sousa Original series.

This tape is short and the melodies are not engaging for kids. It was waste of money.

5 out of 5 stars Baby Einstein: Traveling Melodies .......2006-02-23

Hello everyone,
This CD is great!
My son has ADD & when we are out & he gets Anxious I put this CD in his portibale CD player.
It seems to help him calm down & better cope with things.
I think that every parent should have this CD that has a special needs child.
Thanks so much for putting it online for people to buy.
Thanks Again,
A Greatfull Mom

5 out of 5 stars Saved My Sanity.......2005-11-03

My husband and I are musicians so I inwardly groaned when we were given this CD as a gift--I'd rather play the originals rather than some synthesized kiddie version. However, on a recent road trip we got desperate when our colicky son would not stop screaming. We popped this in the CD player and it calmed him down immediately. I swear, it's like aural crack for babies. We now play it at bedtime to help calm him down and it still works. You may not love this CD, but your baby will.

4 out of 5 stars A Very Pleasant CD for Little Ones in the Car.......2005-11-01

I picked this up for driving around music and was very pleasantly surprised. Quite enjoyable (and my son seems to like it too!) and perfect for exactly what it says--traveling around. Easy listening and could possibly make your child smarter, great!

5 out of 5 stars Woo Hoo!.......2007-05-07

This is by far the best CD in the Baby Einstein collection--it will put your toddler in hyperactive playful mode and exhaust you as you try to keep up. But for today's overweight, tv- and game- addicted children, this is great!

5 out of 5 stars Einstein.......2007-04-09

Anything that has an Einstein in the title my twins love. I used to play this for them at night while they slept.

5 out of 5 stars The baby danced........2007-03-09

I gave Baby Einstein: Playtime Music Box to a little boy on his first birthday. He loves it and dances and dances to the music.

5 out of 5 stars A Lot of Fun for Playtime.......2006-01-04

This CD is a lot of fun. The music is bubbly and upbeat and makes you want to get up and dance or just jump around. It's a great way to spend some play time with your kids. And the classical music exposure is a bonus.

1 out of 5 stars Synthesized dreck.......2005-08-13

Why did the producers use synthesizers for this music? It's awful. It's possible to hook kids on classical music using the actual instruments written for it - that's how I got hooked. That's what Mel Blanc and Disney did in their cartoons, Bugs Bunny and Fantasia. I do NOT recommend this CD to anyone. It was a shower gift. If you are not familiar with classical music, then I recommend "Baby Needs Beethoven", which is a collection of music using real instruments (albeit shortened - no full length symphonies here).

The culture-clash plot of filmmaker Gurinder Chada's surprise, soccer-girl-themed '02 hit Bend It Like Beckham couldn't offer American audiences much more than her bright, hand-picked sampler of India's pop music. But Chada's more traditional morality tale here (a limber adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice featuring Indian superstar Aishwarya Rai) shimmers with the intoxicating visual and musical splendors of a full-blown Bollywood-meets-Hollywood production. The song-score by noted Indian musical star Anu Malik is charged by propulsive folk rhythms ("Punjab Wedding Song," "Dola Dola"), yet laced with knowing Western pop conceits that range from Caribbean hip-hop ("No Life Without Wife") to the Broadway-suffused ballads "A Marriage Has Come to Town," "Take Me To Love (1&2)," and "Arrogance, Pride and Vanity." American R&B star Ashanti's sultry "My Lips Are Waiting" and "Touch My Body" complete Malik's enticing East-meets-West fusion, a delightful, dizzying primer to his country's most beloved film and music genre. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars excellent movie.......2007-06-18

love love love this movie. My daughter is from India and watches this over and over. great story and fantastic music (i bought the soundtrack also).

4 out of 5 stars great film - whole family enjoyed it.......2007-04-12

Everyone in my family is a fan of the Jane Austen novels/films and Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightly has always been our favorite. This Bride & Prejudice is great with the story line similar without slaving to the exact original plot.
The first dance scene ("Balle Balle") in the first 10 minutes of the film lets you know that this is going to be a musical with exciting dances - unexpected for a Jane Austen film. The first song suddenly made us fans of the India style music.
The second song ("Marriage Has Come to Town") seems out-of-place and hokey but upon multiple viewings, I look forward to it.
My third favorite song is "Dola Dola" which is the stick dance song.
The one criticsm I have is the sudden wrap-up of repentent Darcy's make-up tasks - saving the younger sister from Wickham and salvaging the older sister's marriage. It all happens so quickly you might miss it.
Watch for the bloopers at the end.

This is our first introduction to Ballywood films and it was a great experience. We liked it better than "I Have Found It" which is parallel to Sense & Sensibilities.

5 out of 5 stars Bollywood meets hollywood.......2007-03-27

this is a great cd with a mix of the bollywood style, but also the old fashioned movie musicals from the 1950s and 1960s with a contemporary flair. it's just plain fun!

5 out of 5 stars Great music........2007-03-08

A great movie with great music. I've watched the dvd and listened to the soundtrack many times. My only real complaint is that not all of the songs in the movie are on the soundtrack. For example does anyone know the Rishi Rich song played during the wedding reception at the beginning of the movie? It's the scene when Balraj and Jaya are dancing while Lalita and Chandra are talking upstairs. Also, does anyone know the song that's played at the very end by the marching band when Balraj brings his parents to meet Jaya's parents? I can't find either in the credits.
Regardless, both the dvd and soundtrack are still great!

4 out of 5 stars funand wonderful.......2007-01-31

This cd is amazing. you definitely relive each scene as you are listening. Most of all is just cheerful and bring a smile to your face.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!!.......2007-05-14

I bought this for my husband but fell in love with it myself. I had never heard of it but now consider Edvard Grieg my favorite composer. It is magnificent.

5 out of 5 stars Relaxes your mind........2005-12-30

The peer gynt suite is very delicate and it relaxes me. Whenever I hear the first movement of Peer Gynt, I feel as if I am walking along the forest at dawn with sunshine passing through the tall trees. It calms me and I usually close my eyes to imagine Grieg's creative masterpiece. What also interests me the fourth movement. It starts with slow and quiet and then slowly the music accelerates with power. Like the title, "Mountain King," says itself, you can feel the grandness of the music toward the end.

The piano concerto in a minor is my favorite. This music seem to convey the full spectrum from quiet and delicate or gracious feel of music to more powerful and magnificent all proportionally adequately. It is very enjoyable. Whenever I listen to this music, I feel as if I am resting in the high mountainn looking at the full panorama. Anyway, that's just my imagination I feel from his music and of course, yours can be very different from mine.

As for the CD quality, I hear no distraction sound and it is recorded well, I think. The little cover booklet can be informative about Grieg. Also nice price from Amazon.

4 out of 5 stars Relaxing music from a great composer.......2005-08-02

I absolutely loved the string music on Track 3. I remembered it from an old PC RPG called Quest for Glory IV. I was disappointed to find out that Track 4 was only a minute and a half long, because I grew up loving that song from the various places I heard it (Fantasia and a kid Detective PC game from the late 80's).
Overall, though, Grieg's greatest hits is a must-have for collectors of classical music. Grieg is revered as Norway's greatest composer of all time and he certainly has a knack for creating imagery of bustling fjords and majestic mountainsides with interlaced river ravines.

5 out of 5 stars Better than just an introduction.......2004-04-28

This CD goes beyond just introducing Grieg. It is a truly beautiful and for me, invaluable collection of this excellent composer. Grieg had an inimitable gift for exploring emotion, often sadness and nostalgia. However, he also had a large touch of the virtuoso, as demonstrated by the famous Piano Concerto. True, the last 2 movements are not included here; however, the first is still stunning. The Peer Gynt Suites are wonderfully played, and Ase's Death and Heartwounds are especially noteworthy - the lush orchestral sounds of these gorgeous pieces unfold exquisitely. Homage March is a nice change of pace, upbeat and with a memorable theme, and Leonard Bernstein moves at a devilish pace in March of the Trolls. This CD will not disappoint you - buy it today!

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2002-01-29

For an intro to Greig, this is great. The "hall of the mountain king" is done very well.

Laced with almost metaphysically challenging guitar work and laden with rich, full-orchestral arrangements, The Princess Bride soundtrack qualifies as one of Mark Knopfler's cinematic triumphs. Romantically lyrical melodies like "I Will Never Love Again" contrast brightly with fun frolics like "The Friends' Song" and edgy mood pieces like "The Cliffs of Insanity." While most soundtracks are really just compilations of hits or variations on a single theme, Knopfler's play more like symphonies, each movement as fulfilling as the last. Though The Princess Bride doesn't quite carry off the emotional impact of Local Hero or Cal, it does offer up some terrific music and one good love song, Willy Deville's "Storybook Love." --L.A. Smith

Besides the movie being one of our family's all-time favorites, this was a special purchase because we used selected tracks as processional and recessional music for our daughter's wedding. It turned out beautifully! Thanks, Mark!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent rendition.......2007-02-16

As good as it gets. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra in the "old days."
I cannot speak for the other titles, but Dvorak's 9th was very good indeed...

Be sure you get the Hybrid SACD version and not an SACD unless you have an SACD player...

3 out of 5 stars A Good CD with a BIG mistake in it!.......2006-02-10

The New World Symphony is the best blended and most musical I've ever heard, but the end of the Polka and Fugue everyone, except the tubist, is playing too loud. Its blatty and offensive to me especially the trumpets. Don't get me wrong I like loud playing but not when the whole section is in unison. Also there is a very loud wrong note in the trumpets in the last statement of the subject! It's kind of funny! Anyways everything else about this CD is very good. Especially the New World Symphony.

5 out of 5 stars A truly wonderful experience.......2006-01-09

I have several CD's of Dvorak's 9th Symphony but it's unlikely I will play them again. The performance is the best I've heard and the recording is outstanding. My wife, who doesn't even particularly like classical music, came into the room when I played this recording the first time and actually sat down and listened to the whole CD. That might be a first for her and the fact that she was impressed, impresses me.

I've been buying a number of the RCA Living Stereo SACD's recently and I'm more impressed every time I listen to them. I also have a few of the Mercury Living Presence CD's and SACD's which are also outstanding (although the Living Presence SACD's are premium priced). Considering more recent recordings of the same works, the performances and the sound are both better on the 45-50 year old recordings than on the current DDD's.

To those who want to buy recordings of the most popular classical works, I would highly recommend Living Stereo and Living Presence CD's and SACD's. Of the Dvorak's "From The New World" Symphony recordings available, I consider this a first choice.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Great Recordings of this All Time Classic.......2005-12-08



RCA has a vast and incredible library of classical music recordings, particularly in its LIVING STEREO series, and over the years has re-released some of its great titles. One of the more popular and enduring recordings in this series is Fritz Reiner's recording of Dvorak's Ninth Symphony with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. People familiar with the LP version will instantly recognize it distinctive cover with a photograph of the Statue of Liberty, the same monument which would have greeted Dvorak when he first visited the United States and where he was inspired to write this great work.

The showpiece of the recording is Dvorak's 9th. Recorded in 1957, the orchestra has a hearty sound. Both Reiner and the orchestra seem familiar with the work. Reiner moves the work along, and is particularly vigorous in his conducting of the fourth movement, which may not be to everyone's liking, but works well with this recording. The CD also contains three other works that are in keeping with Dvorak's 9th. Two are overtures: a robust version of Dvorak's "Carnival Overture," and a lively recording of Smetena's overture to "The Bartered Bride." The third piece is Weinberger's Polka and Fugue from "Schwanda the Bagpiper." Interestingly, while he conducts the Dvorak's pieces with energy, the Weinberger piece is conducted a bit slower than other recordings of the work.

One bonus of the re-release of the "Living Stereo" recordings is that they contain the original liner notes from the LP. Since this CD is a compilation from two different LP's, the liner notes from both are included in this set. RCA has not re-released as many of the titles as they promised ten years ago when they first opened the vaults. Let's hope some of the other great titles will be released in the near future.



4 out of 5 stars Stunning clarity for classic performance.......2005-03-26

A well thought out and impassioned classic performance of Dvorak's 9th from Reiner and the CSO, who are both in excellent form here.
The SACD transfer allows you to really hear all of the little details in the score/recording with stunning clarity. Woodwind and horn solos come out firmly placed and well defined rather than lost in the mix. The rich sound produced by these musicians is well served, faithfully reproduced.
The Bartered Bride Overture is given a lively and striking performance, string sections digging in ferociously, and it is nice to have the Weinberger piece, more of a rarity, given such high quality treatment.

I got the impression that these particular recordings are showing their age a bit more than some of the other Living Stereo master tapes, but the sound is still incredible all things considered. The symphony is presented in its original three-track multichannel, and it is well worth hearing it in that format.
All in all, another fine addition to this series of remasterings.

3 out of 5 stars Middle of the road wedding music.......2007-01-20

I bought this cd because I had everything in my wedding planned to the last tiny detail except the ceremony music. All the songs on the cd are nice traditional wedding songs. I did not use any of the music from the cd, but I am glad I bought it because it helped me realize that traditional wedding music was not what I wanted. All and all a nice classical music cd but not for brides who really want a personal ceremony. BTW I went with Enya and Lorena McKennitt.

5 out of 5 stars just what I was looking for.......2007-01-10

We wanted traditional wedding music and found it in this CD. I'm no music expert, but the arrangements and performances seemed fine. I would definitely recommend this CD for any bride looking for a concise collection of traditional wedding pieces.

5 out of 5 stars Most Chosen Selections.......2006-03-13

As a wedding officiant, my wife and I are often asked to assist the couple with other services for their ceremony, such as music. For this, we have a very large selection in our music library to choose from. We have put together a catalog of cd's that we loan out to the couple for their review, and most often, their selections come from BRIDE'S GUIDE TO WEDDING MUSIC.

If you're planning a traditional or formal wedding on a budget, this cd has it all. There are even two selections of Wagner's "Wedding March" to choose from. Only two of the selections have vocals, the rest are all extraordinary instrumental selections.

Often, even around the house or in my car, I find myself listening to this cd. The music is soothing, refreshing, uplifting and most enjoyable. I recommend this cd over all other wedding music cd's.

4 out of 5 stars Another Great Reference CD.......2006-01-09

This is a great compilation, CD, along with Bride's Guide to Wedding Music Volume 2, to use as a reference for some of the more popular wedding songs; just about everything on here is standard fare for weddings. All of the musicians are generally superb, and the sound quality is very good. However, this is most useful if you are playing the CD at your wedding, or using it as a reference CD to talk over potential music selections with an organist, a string quartet, etc. Like my review for Volume 2, I only gave it four stars based on practicality, not on quality. If it were just quality, I would give it five stars. I purchased this CD since I am in the process of making my own wedding CD (I am a professional, freelance violinist), and this was nice to listen to, even just as background music for dinner. BTW: beware of reviewers who don't use their names, especially "A music fan." This is most likely the producer of the "Wedding Traditions" CD and he slanders other CDs so his will look better. You'd think that in the wedding music business people would have better ethics, but unfortunately, that's not always the case. The best advice I can give, as a classical musician myself, if to take time to listen to the sound clips, and if possible, try to find them on iTunes where they might sound higher quality. This is the only real way of knowing whether the CD is right for you.

4 out of 5 stars A Nice CD.......2005-12-30

This is a very nice CD.
Our daughter used some of the songs on this CD
and some of the songs that are on the
"Classical Wedding Traditions" CD for the wedding.
She also used many of the songs on the
"New Wedding Traditions Volume I" CD

5 out of 5 stars To each his own.......2007-07-07

Some people cannot conceive an orchestral soundtrack: a movie SCORE. So if there are no vocals (no songs) then it's no good. They call it "background" music. Well, it's their loss that they don't know how to really listen. But to dare give a good CD a bad review, well, that's kind of an unjust tragedy. After all, isn't a soundtrack suppose to give you the nostalgic feeling of the movie without having to watch it?
So, to those people who can only conceive a movie with "songs" I would recommend to buy a Steve Tyrell's CD [ASIN:B00001QEOK A New Standard]] it has all (great) songs and includes the ones from the "Bride" movies. Meanwhile, let us, "symphonic weirdos", enjoy beautiful brackground music tracks. Cheers!

5 out of 5 stars Father of the Bride .......2006-11-06

I love this CD. Alan Silvestri's music is joyful. Product and delivery were great.

4 out of 5 stars Has the Makings of a Classic.......2006-06-03

If this score were a bit deeper, and around 25 minutes longer, it would be a classic in it's genre. As it stands, it is a very good, (short) companion to a book and a cup of coffee, or perhaps an evening drive.

Some of the songs are jazzy and smooth, others are up tempo and remind one strongly of a Christophe Beck or John Debney score. I definately reccomend giving this a listen, (if only it were longer...)

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Movie and Music.......2005-05-13

Any of the negative comments on here are absolutely ludicrous! This is a beautiful film and an even more wonderful soundtrack! Of course the music is mostly instrumental, it's a SOUNDtrack, as in the sounds from the movie, if you prefer words buy a pop CD. This film is one of the best wedding films of all time portraying the love of a family and how close their ties are through the wonderful occasion of a wedding and the music does nothing but tie in every emotion and sentiment perfectly, making it all the more heart warming. I first saw this movie as a little girl and something as miniscule as a few notes from this beautiful soundtrack still have a power that melts my heart. I can't wait to utilize it someday in my own wedding as I have recently gotten engaged and if you are looking for something to evoke all those emotions I highly suggest purchasing this SOUNDtrack!

5 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled by the "negative reviews".......2005-02-09

This CD is not meant for those who want lyrical songs only. I am using #1 for my wedding as the ceremony entrance....and it's beautiful. Also, if you like the song "The Way You Look Tonight" the version by Steve Tyrell is wonderful. It's a sentimental CD....for those of us who saw it when we were younger and dreamed of the day we were getting married. Each song has a special moment connected to the movie.
