Yo-Yo Ma - Appassionato

CD-Charts > Music > Composers
by: Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Octavio Brunetti, Joel Fan, Kojiro Umezaki

Release Date January 29, 2007
Yo-Yo Ma performs Appassionato with superb technique, and the music on this album is sublime, mystical, sensual, optimistic, gentle and powerful at the same time. A real treat for those who seek an emotional challenge and a profound artistic experience. The more I listen to this CD the more I am astonished by the great selection of the music. It's always such a strong moment when the Cello meets the Oboe in "Gabriel's Oboe" (The Mission) and how they reach for each other and rise together into the most mesmerizing interaction - one is transported to a world of beautiful feelings by this music and how it is played here.

Get Carter: Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK]

CD-Charts > Music > Composers
by: Roy Budd

Release Date February 26, 2008
One of the great things about the incidental music about Get Carter is that it was all composed by Roy Budd. So, when Jack Carter puts on a record on the duke box in the pub opposite the station it is Budd's "Looking for Someone". In Brumby's horrible modern mansion "on the Durham Road" it is "Love is a four letter word" that the with-it teenagers are grooving to. In the Oxford Galleries Dance Hall it is the bass-y "Livin should be this way" that thunders in the background. All these songs (which we only ever hear in part on the soundtrack) subtly echo the driving jazzy bass line of the famous title track. Brilliant stuff, almost like a Wagnerian leitmotif for Carter's neo-Jacobean revenge tragedy.

Classic Flicks

CD-Charts > Music > Composers
by: Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Baden- South West German Radio Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra

Release Date July 07, 2003
I recently listened to the music on the box set being played by the London Royal philharmonic orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in London and immediately loved the music and bought the c.d box set. All the themes from the films are played brilliantly with a real joyous sound to them. The themes that I had seen the films to I think I enjoyed the most as I already new them yet hearing them being played by such a good orchestra really makes the c.d worth listening to. There is not a single bad track on the c.d and one of my particular favourites was 'the great escape' which really made me smile. This album is a must buy for anyone who enjoys film theme tunes or anyone who likes listening to an orchestra as talented as this. 5 stars!

Wonderland

CD-Charts > Music > Composers
by: Michael Nyman

Release Date August 30, 1999
Quite simply this is the most sublime and heart achingly beautiful soundtrack I have ever heard. It will transport you completely. I saw the film and was struck by the music - and to listen to it again is rapturous. I can't recommend this highly enough. Don't be put off if you don't like The Piano music - I don't particularly. But if you like film scores like Glory then you'll love this.

Mambo Sinuendo

CD-Charts > Music > Composers
by: Ry Cooder

Release Date January 27, 2003
Put on the obscenely patterned hawiian shirt, pour a margarita (or at least an ice cold beer), find a warm place to sit/lie/flop put on the shades and chill. As the man said ..the return of Santo and Johnny - Turbo version. If you don't like this record you must be dead or at least be on very strong medication. I'll say one word .... and that word is TWANG!

Now slam the CD on, throw us a lime and Tequilla and I'm gone. Solid gone.Good price by the way.

I commend this CD to the house.

The Only Classical Chillout You'll Ever Need

CD-Charts > Music > Composers
by: City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, Balthasar-Neumann Ensemble, Covent Garden Royal Opera House Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra

Release Date October 06, 2003
This Cd is well worth buying.
Firstly it is excellent value for a double disc with over 2 and a half hours of music.The sound is superb and the varition is well mixed and suited.
Highlight of this album for me are the haunting and divine Due Tramonti by Ludovico Einaudi (a genius!), a new choir arrangement of Barber's masterpiece Adagio for strings, Chopin's Nocturn Op.72/1 (as featured in 1 of last years best films "The Pianist").
Other highlights come from Arvo Part, Mascagni and Satie.
Featured performers include Lesley Garrett, the Philharmonica Orchestra, Trinity College Choir.
A fantastic album at a fantastic price, well worth getting, putting your feet up and relaxing and enjoying the beautiful music.

Batman - Original Soundtrack

CD-Charts > Music > Composers
from: Warner

Release Date August 07, 1989
This is a score for all fans of the comic book movie genre. Escpially those who like the darker-toned/more adult themed ones just like the Blade trilogy and of course Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns (which has another great score).

The music is brooding and really makes you feel like you want to go around your town/city dressed up (not that I would) in a bat costume going around sorting out crimes in a super car (one of the most memorable tracks of the CD is the charge of the Batmobile) and the Joker's music is great too because it's comical and camp but in a dark and twisted way if you know what I mean and, like Batman's themes, describes the character well. The final 6 tracks are outstanding and really make you root for the hero. ... Read More:
