Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15
As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".
Mediocre.......2006-05-17
The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.
One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06
I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.
Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24
Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.
Really Good Collection.......2004-07-11
I bought this in part because it had soundtracks to tv shows that are unavailable. My husband and I watch aome British programming. Many of the theme songs are for what seems like obscure British shows. That said; it has been enjoyable to hear music that I would normally never hear. Some music does sound tinny; some are very very rich, and some music is derived from actual preformances from the original artists. I think this is worth buying because is has a wonderful blend of music. The pieces are full soundtracks so they includes the parts of the theme song which are often edited out. I think the orchestra's who preformed the music did a great job. I have MonsterMania which redoes the soundtracks to the Godzilla movies. The interpretation is less heavy and stark than the preformance we associate with the original soundtrack; but I regard it as a new way to appreciate the music and all the componets which make the song unique.

Customer Reviews:
Sebastian, this is your music.......2006-11-27
When I saw Brideshead Revisited for the first time, I was immediately captivated by this music. These themes are rich of sentimental emotions, and absolutely suitable for this tv. series. I can not imagine B.R. without them. They were born for it.
Burgon's idiosyncratic brilliance is brilliant.......2004-11-17
For me, the stand-out tracks are JULIA'S THEME and SEBASTIAN AGAINST THE WORLD. In BRIDESHEAD THEME, it's a borderline-thrill to hear that bassoon putt-putting all over the place in the background. The second part of GOING TO BRIDESHEAD has that brilliant suspended-string shtick. VENICE NOCTURNE has a slow hypnotic quality that reminded me of John Barry. The end of THE FIRST VISIT is also Barryesque. In JULIA, the harmonic tension between the woodwinds and the strings is admirably modernistic.
My favorite passage is near the end of SEBASTIAN'S SUMMER. An oboe passage, backed with a brilliant ascending violin figure, and with the violas doing a slow trill.
wrong listing!.......2003-10-02
the CD has the list for the soundtrack, not this anthology!
Brideshead reviewed.......2003-09-08
When I bought this CD, it was the Brideshead theme I was after. It's there, but be warned that it's only 2:00 minutes long.
Nearly all the tracks are fairly short with an average track time of 2:31. Each track is a piece of music intended for a certain situation or part of the story. Which doesn't really give you the time to sit back and soak up the moods in the same way as with non-soundtrack classical music. About half of the tracks contain the Brideshead theme in more or less obvious forms. I think you would have to remember extremely well to recollect most of the tracks apart from the Brideshead theme. I still recommend the CD and consider it worth it's money. A must have for anyone who loved the series. If only for the Brideshead theme which still nearly knocks me over.
Finally.......2002-05-08
I have cruised the INTERNET for years looking for a CD such as this (I have the LP but it is worn out from being played so much) . What a wonderful surprise. The music makes tears come to my eyes.

a very enjoyable "Guys and Dolls".......2007-03-12
The 1982 National Theatre revival of GUYS AND DOLLS was a very successful production, and it is beautifully captured on this cast album. Frank Loesser's comedic musical (based on the characters and short stories of Damon Runyon) is filled to the brim with showstoppers, and every one is nailed perfectly.
Julia McKenzie is a broadly-comical Miss Adelaide, and dazzles with "Adelaide's Lament", and "Take Back Your Mink". Partnering her as the marriage-shy Nathan Detroit is Bob Hoskins, whose singing may be acquired taste, but captures the spirit of the role. The duet of "Sue Me" is hilarious and tender in equal measures.
Julie Covington gives the songs of Sarah Brown a softer, pop-style sensibility; and she's paired with the brightly-sung Ian Charleson as Sky Masterson. Ms Covington especially delights with her high-flown "If I Were a Bell". The supporting cast also features David Healy as Nicely-Nicely Johnson (such a fabulous character part); along with John Normington, Barrie Rutter and Kevin Williams.
Director Richard Eyre's GUYS AND DOLLS revival was the National Theatre's top box office earner during the lean years of the 80s. This recording is full of energy and fun, with musical director Tony Britten leading the well-drilled orchestra through each number with speed and fluidity.

Not the most famous recording..........2006-05-10
The National Theatre Cast recording of "Guys and Dolls" is not the most famous, but it's my personal favorite due to the wonderful performance of the late, great Ian Charleson. He doesn't have the rich tones of either Robert Alda (Original Broadway Cast) or Peter Gallagher (Broadway Revival Cast) in his voice, but his is a uniquely sensitive interpretation of the classic role, and well, well, worth the price of the CD.

Would be better with a different title.......2006-08-27
I didn't look close enough at the track list before buying this. I was very excited to see a soundtrack of the BBC versions of The Chronicles of Narnia, since I love the music in them (not to mention the movies in general). Unfortunately, the Narnia music is only the first 7 tracks.
The whole CD has great music, and I think I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't been expecting the whole thing to be Narnia. A lot of the other music on it reminds me of Sherlock Holmes music. It is a great CD, and I definitely recommend it...but don't expect a full CD of Narnia music.
BBC Narnia music=magical.......2006-04-10
I never get tired of hearing this narnia music over and over again. Mr. Burgon really captures the heart and soul of Narnia through his music. In opinion, it easily surpasses the new film music at times (both Tumnus themes are very good).
I did not care for all the choral (enya-like) music from the new film, and this music has none of that.
