Not My Style.......2007-05-11

This CD has a lot of good songs on it, but it just too bland for our taste. We prefer Western music to sound as though genuine cowboys are singing it - not a fancy chorus!

Rockin' Western Collection.......2006-08-28

For anyone who likes movie/tv music from westerns should purchase this CD. What a wonderful collection of both film and tv with great renditions of each piece. I'm about to purchase Vol. 1 to complete my collection.

Hard to Find Great Western Themes .......2006-03-16

This CD has a number of great western themes that are not in some of the standard lists. For example it includes "The Hallejuah Trail", "Blazing Saddles", and "Giant". This CD also has what I consider the true theme of "The Comancheros". I have been disappointed with some other CDs I have purchased listing "The Comancheros" which had a song rather than this theme. Many of the tracks on this two disk CD go beyond the main theme music and are actually suites. The "Big Country" and "How the West Was Won" are just a couple of examples. It may be a little more expense than some CDs, but not bad for a two disk set. I am really happy with my purchase.

Western Music.......2005-07-29

I enjoy this CD. It has many familiar melodies. Good background for reading, nice to listen while driving. It is also the only CD I've ever found that has the great theme from the movie "Giant."

A great follow-up.......2003-08-29

This is the second collection by SilvaScreen, who are also responsible for "The Wild West: The Essential Western Film Music Collection" (see my review). And it's just as good as the first. There are themes in here that everyone will recognize ("Bonanza," "A Fistful of Dollars"), themes that may not be so familiar ("Duel in the Sun," "The Hanging Tree," the lively "Blazing Saddles"), and even themes you may not associate with Westerns at all ("The Friendly Persuasion"). And no duplication either: when this disc includes a piece from one of the same sources covered in its predecessor, it's a different piece. One great treat: the full lyrics to "Gunfight at OK Corral," which I've never heard outside the soundtrack of the movie itself. The arrangement from "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid" includes not only the familiar song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" but an overview of the music--seguing almost seamlessly into Bernstein's magnificent "The Comancheros," a rare find indeed. An expensive item, but if you love Western film music, well worth it.

Six Decades of Film Music.......2007-05-13

This is film music for the classical music lover. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra presents excellent arrangements of a number of classic film themes (although several pieces of the 56 film classics selected for this 4 CD set are not orchestral arrangements, but rather specialty arrangements). Besides great film composers such as John Williams, Elmer Bernstein, Ennio Morricone, and James Horner, classical composers such as Richard Strauss and Pietro Mascagni make an appearance. On several of the numbers the Crouch End Festival Chorus adds the human voice to the power of the full symphonic orchestra to create true movie magic. If you like the sound of a full symphony orchestra playing some of the most recognized themes ever written, you'll love these CDs.

Excellent collection with fine performances.......2007-03-28

Silva Screen Records, based in England, has been issuing some fine collections of film scores, more in one box than we have the right to expect. This four-CD box contains scores by many of the best writers, including Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, Dimitri Tomkin, Kenneth J. Alford (The Bridge on the River Kwai), Elmer Bernstein, Maurice Jarre, Ennio Marricone, John Barry, Nino Rota, John Williams, James Horner, and more. We can all think of additional film scores we wished were included, but then there's no way this collection could be all-inclusive. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, supplemented by Crouch End Festival Chorus on some numbers, does a very competent job...The liner notes give the basic information without any commentary, and as far as I can see, contain only one error. Am I wrong or are tracks 9 and 10 on the fourth CD mislabeled? Track 9, which runs 7:33, seems to have the excitement of "Pirates of the Caribbean" (which I did not see) and track 10, which runs 4:22, the more sedate "The Girl with the Pearl Earring (which I also did not see). Listings seem to have them reversed.

"essential film scores from 1939 to 2004 ~ Incredible Music".......2005-05-16

When I think of the "Golden Age" of Hollywood, many composers come to mind...you gave the usher your ticket in the theater and sat down, knowingly you were going to get your moneys worth...when the curtain opened and you heard those first few notes...you sat back, watched and listened as the film score and orchestra worked their magic...now we have the ultimate from Silva Screen Classics "The Incredible Film Music Box", featuring a four disc set of the essential film scores of the past 60 years...covering several decades from 1939 through and up to the present 2004

There are compilations and then there are "Compilations" beginning with a classic that even the youngsters today recognize "GONE WITH THE WIND" (1939) (Max Steiner), sweeping score that captures the tragic history of the South during the Civil War, one great cue after another, it doesn't get any better than this, nominated by the Academy for Best Original Score...and closing on Disc 4 with "THE INCREDIBLES" (2004) (Michael Giacchino), the big hit in computer animation from Walt Disney & Pixar that once again pit Super-Heroes against the forces of evil...our family of five Supers prove crime doesn't pay, but box-office receipts do...gotta love it!

Silva Screen Classics as usual, has put quality into this 4-CD-Set featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus conducted by Kenneth Alwyn, Bill Ashton, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Mario Klemens, Derek Wadsworth, and Nic Raine. Recorded in "Dolby Surround" with the new technology of "HDCD", this is a "film-score-buffs" dream, one to treasure now and years to come.

Some selections are missing, but when you think of what Silva has included, it is impossible to please everyone...was happy to see "TOUCH OF EVIL" (1958) from composer Henry Mancini, as I feel this composer deserves all the recognition that has been overlooked recently in the music world...This collection is aimed directly at the "Serious Film Score" music fans and collectors...Silva is as always, perfect in every way...just the way we like 'em!

Album Details

Digitally Remastered Double Anthology of the Pop and Soundtrack Composer from the 50's and 60's. Perhaps his Best Counterpart of Today Would Be John Williams. A Film Maker Could Always Rely on Mancini to Deliver a Composition that Hit the Mark for a Film and Conveyed Exactly What was Required and More. He also Filled the Role of an American Mantovani, Recording 'muzak' Versions of Popular Hits. He was Handsome, Personable, but Most of All, Well Respected for his Craft.

Customer Reviews:

not enough Galway.......2003-10-02

There are only four songs with James Galway. The way this recording is presented is misleading and buyers should be aware that this is NOT a joint effort between these two great artists.. I was totally disappointed. I think Henry Mancini is wonderful but was expecting to hear a collaboration. So if you're looking for flute music this isn't it. However it's a great collecton of Henry Mancini's work.

Too Good to Last.......2000-03-03

I heard this on PBS. Galway and Mancini may be two of the most talented musicians of our century. Galway for his complete mastery of the flute and Mancini for his ability to arrange , produce and in this instance direct the orchestra while Galway performs. They do several duets of a comical nature as well. This is important because it is one of Mancini's last efforts prior to his unfortunate passing.

Memory Lane revisited.......2007-04-11

This 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 would be a great collection to take on a trip.

YOUNGER THAN 70 BUT..........2007-04-10

Even though I am not 70 years old, I knew most of the music, and this collection is excellent. I chose some songs and put them on my i-pod. This collection is worth every penny. Enjoy it!

"unique collection of classic themes & suites ~ EPIC".......2004-12-08

Rhino Records presents 23 Original Soundtrack recordings from MGM, RKO and Warner Bros studios...entitled "Composed By:Classic Film Themes From Hollywood's Masters - Motion Picture Soundtrack Anthology"...boy is that a mouth full...everything a "film-score-buff" could hope for is all under one roof, or should I say compact disc.

This rare find in film scoring covers several decades, beginning with the '30s and inclusive into the mid '60s...many have never seen the light of day...all from the original composer, the way it should be heard...let us begin in the next paragraph with some serious reviewing.

From the early film composers with have "KING KONG", composed by Max Steiner, recorded 1933..."THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD", composed by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, recorded April of 1938..."GUNGA DIN", composed by Alfred Newman, recorded 1939..."GONE WITH THE WIND", composed by Max Steiner, recorded November and December 1939..."THE WIZARD OF OZ", composed by Herbert Stothart, recorded May and July 1939..."THE SEA HAWK", composed by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, recorded May 1939..."THE PHILADELPHIA STORY", composed by Franz Waxman, recorded September 1940..."NORTHWEST PASSAGE", composed by Herbert Stothart, recorded December 1939..."CITIZEN KANE", composed by Bernard Herrmann, recorded 1941..."THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS", composed by Bernard Herrmann, recorded 1942..."CASABLANCA", composed by Max Steiner, recorded 1942..."NOW, VOYAGER", composed by Max Steiner, recorded 1942..."THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE", composed by Max Steiner, recorded 1948..."MADAME BOVARY", composed by Miklos Rozsa, recorded April and June 1949..."THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL", composed by David Raksin, recorded September 1952..."RAINTREE COUNTY", composed by Johnny Green, recorded July 1957..."NORTH BY NORTHWEST", composed by Bernard Herrmann, recorded May 1959..."BEN-HUR", composed by Miklos Rozsa, recorded 1959..."HOW THE WEST WAS WON", composed by Alfred Newman, recorded July 1962..."DOCTOR ZHIVAGO", composed by Maurice Jarre, recorded December 1965...the composers of today have some big shoes to fill...the likes of Green, Herrmann, Jarre, Korngold, Newman, Raksin, Rozsa, Steiner, Stothart and Waxman will be sorely missed, they'll never be anything quite like them, one of a kind and they left their mark in film history.

All in all many of these composers gave much more that we could ever put on any single compilation...but these are the highlights, some of the most memorable suites, themes and cues to grace the big screen...as we sit in a darkened theater when the curtain goes up, we lose ourselves in the plot and characters become very much alive and real...the music conveys every moment of drama, comedy and mystery, without it the film would be empty...we can thank these golden age music makers for putting the icing on the cake...hats off to Didier C. Deutsch (producer), Julie D'Angelo (project supervisor) and Turner Entertainment for sharing these precious themes from the films that keep us thrilled with their timeless scores...just the way we like 'em!

STUNNING, MANCINI, HIS MUSIC.......2004-09-14

I always admire Mancini's talent in music. The reason I purchased this cd was because of "The Windmills of your Mind." The arrangment and the presentation is by far the best I've heard so far. As a matter of fact, I own couple CDs of Mancini, and I thought it could be redundant to purchase this cd on top of whatever I have bought.

Well, this entire CD proved me wrong! It is a must to add this cd to my music collection!

The whole album is sooooo refreshing! With the new arrangment of each piece and the stunning performance of the orchestra, each and every single track on the cd sounds very different, but yet familiar. The "savor" of each theme song matches perfectly with the theme of its related movie. What a nice job Mancini did together with the performance of the musicians. In this cd, you will get no typical Mancini's style (i.e. the light and relaxing lounge music); what you get is the classy and stunning orchestral sound instead. In another words, you'll get a different flavor of Mancini's talent on all these familiar sound!

If you love Mancini's music, you will not be disappointed with this one.

If you are not familar with Mancini's mucis, try this and I am sure you will love the album as well.

LUCY SINGS!.......2000-12-12

This is a dynamite compilation CD of duets from MGM films. The highlight for me is "Breezin' Along With the Breeze," featuring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in rich and full TRUE STEREO from the film THE LONG, LONG TRAILER (1954). For the films BEST FOOT FORWARD and DUBARRY WAS A LADY (both 1943-MGM) Lucy's singing was supplied by a voice double. Here she does her own vocal and we get a chance to hear her sing in a serious manner, rather than the comedic screeching she did so wonderfully on "I Love Lucy." Other highlights are "Imagine" from 1954's very strange ATHENA, "I Know That You Know" from 1954's HIT THE DECK, and "How Do You Like Your Eggs in the Morning?" from 1951's RICH YOUNG AND PRETTY. In "Ain't Nature Grand" we get to hear Esther Williams' real singing voice (she was sometimes dubbed, sometimes not). Outtakes include the "One Kiss" lead-in to "Lover Come Back to Me" from 1954's DEEP IN MY HEART and "They Say It's Wonderful" from the aborted Judy Garland version of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN. One hopes that the films represented here will one day see full soundtrack treatments. Take note that there is an error in the song listings on the back of the CD and in the booklet - Track 3 is actually "I Know That You Know" and track 10 is "Ain't Nature Grand."

The MOST of the MOST.......2000-06-25

This CD has the MOST amazing and selective type of lovely songs that a recording could have. Trough it we found the amazing beauties that was recorded only about 50 years ago. GET this CD if you like to hear thoose forgottens songs, the MOST beautiful ones and the MOST charming.

A disappointment.......2007-04-18

Reproductions of musical soundtracks do not always work. Sometimes, the orchestrations emphasize qualities of the music or the orchestration is changed in such a way that the original intent seems lost and such is the case here. This is most noticeable in something like the theme from Never on Sunday which, without the bozouki, sounds a bit like music for a German beer hall. It just does not work. However for those who just want a lot of orchestral music that is not too demanding or too long this is a generous selection.

Special footnotes on Marlon Brando the actor and person --- after "A Streetcar Named Desire" for which he received the first of his eight Academy Award nominations, Brando appeared in a string of Academy Award-nominated performances--in "Viva Zapata"! (1952), "Julius Caesar" (1953) and the summit of his early career, Kazan's "On the Waterfront" (1954). For his "Waterfront" portrayal of meat-headed longshoreman Terry Malloy, the washed-up pug who "coulda been a contender," Brando won his first Oscar --- his outstanding performance as the rebel-without-a-cause Johnny in "The Wild One" (1953) --- then came young director Francis Ford Coppola who believed there was only one actor who could play his films godfather, with an already tight cast of actors he had assembled for his film, "The Godfather" of method acting himself--Marlon Brando --- Coppola won the fight for Brando --- Marlon Brando won his second Oscar, and Paramount came up with the then top-grossing film of all-time, "The Godfather" (1972), a gangster movie most critics now judge one of the greatest American films of all time --- Brando helped out a lot of minorities in America, including African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native American Indians --- one of the innovators of the Method acting technique in American film --- "We are all Brando's children," Jack Nicholson pointed out in 1972. "He gave us our freedom." He was truly "The Godfather" of American acting--and he was just 30 years old.

Absolutely unforgettable scores from "THE MEN" (1950), composer Dimitri Tiomkin --- "A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE" (1951), composer Alex North --- "VIVA ZAPATA" (1952), composer Alex North --- "JULIUS CAESAR" (1953), composer Alex North --- "THE WILD ONE" (1953), composer Keith Stevens --- "ON THE WATERFRONT" (1954), composer Leonard Bernstein --- "SAYONARA" (1957), composer Franz Waxman --- "THE YOUNG LIONS" (1958), composer Hugo Friedhofer --- "ONE-EYED JACKS" (1961), composer Hugo Friedhofer --- "MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY" (1962), composer Bronislau Kaper ---"THE CHASE" (1966), composer John Barry --- "THE GODFATHER" (1972), composer Nino Rota --- "THE LAST TANGO IN PARIS" (1972), composer Gato Barbieri --- "THE MISSOURI BREAKS" (1976), composer John Williams --- "SUPERMAN" (1978), composer John Williams --- "APOCALYPSE NOW" (1979), composer Richard Wagner --- many have sold millions in Soundtracks, but here in this collection they all appear compliments of conductors Fitzpatrick, Bateman, Raine with The City of Prague Philharmonic featuring the Crouch End Festival Chorus --- with all the gusto of the original theatrical scores that graced the big screen.

Outstanding album sequencing by James Fitzpatrick (producer), Reynold da Silva (executive producer) and David stoner (release co-ordinator) --- brought to new heights by The City Of Prague Philharmonic---conducting this world renown Philharmonic is James Fitzpatrick, Paul Bateman and Nic Raine --- and must make mention of the label who leads the pack in releasing brilliant compilations from unforgettable films featuring the likes of --- Marlon Brandon (1924-2004) --- The Man and the Legend.
