Do the Lollipop

CD-Charts > Music > Ages 3-4
by: Tweenies

Release Date July 23, 2001
Definitley one for fans of the show - a mix of sugary sweet pop and lively beats. A catchy, upbeat record, but be prepared for lines like 'uh oh, we're getting funky' becoming a bit too much when heard for the 50th time!

Janácek: From the House of the Dead

CD-Charts > Music > Ages 3-4
from: Decca

Release Date July 09, 1991
How do you make an uplifting opera out of a group of exhausted, demoralised, malnourished prisoners stuck in the Nineteenth Century equivalent of a Stalinist Gulag? Let Janacek show you how.

This is a piece where practically nothing happens. A new prisoner arrives, there's a bit of aimless brutality, the prisoners put on a ramshackle show, a caged eagle is given its (symbolic) freedom and...er...that's about it. The most interesting action happens in a series of long narratives, life-stories told by prisoners to while away the endless time spent in this hellhole.

Yet this is throughout edge-of-the-seat stuff. Janacek, in the last opera of his Indian Summer, uniquely captures that 'spark of humanity' to be found in ... Read More:

Atlantis

CD-Charts > Music > Ages 3-4
by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date February 06, 2006
I think a lot of people dismissed Atlantis when it came out in the cinema, which is a shame: it's a really fun film with a great cast, story, and most importantly to this review, soundtrack.

I think this was the first of James Newton Howard's scores that I really sat down and listened to, and I think it's excellent. If you haven't seen the film, give it a whirl - then pick up the soundtrack, because it has some really lovely cues - from peaceful moments to all out action pieces.

Highly recommended.
