Based on Nicholas Sparks' novel, director Nick Cassavetes film spins the bittersweet tale of a 60-year romance, as seen from the polar perspectives of its promising youth and the travails of an old age cursed by Alzheimer's. Its soundtrack effectively echoes those polar dramatic concerns, with composer Aaron Zigler's gentle orchestral score largely giving voice to the character's melancholy present, while a rich, well-chosen slate of vintage material by Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller imparts a restless energy to their youth. There's a certain schmaltz to much of Zigman's work here, yet cues like "House Blues/The Porch Dance.." and "Noah's Journey" argue he's achieved something more elusive than mere melodramatic wallpaper with the deceivingly difficult task at hand; it can't be easy to have your work seasoned with the likes of Ellington's sassy "Alabamy Home" and Goodman's still-vibrant "One O'Clock Jump." Sharply contrasting versions of "I'll Be Seeing You" by Holiday and Jimmy Durante bookend the soundtrack, perfectly evoking the story's alternating shades of hope and fading nostalgia and framing Zigman's understated work in the bargain. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Based on the best selling novel by Nicholas Sparks ("A Walk To Remember", "Message In A Bottle"), "The Notebook" is the story of Noah and Allie, teenage lovers torn apart by WWII and Allie's parents' demands to marry a respectable lawyer. After 14 years apart, they meet again and rekindle their true love. Starring Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner, and Gena Rowlands. The soundtrack is a propelling force. In addition to classic WWII era pieces, Aaron Zigman's score suites enhance the record with beautifully dramatic themes. Score performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony.

Touching.......2007-07-04

There isn't much I can say about this beautiful movie, except that it was so touching!
It say's go for the "true love", settle for nothing else no matter what may be in store, because love that is "true" and as beautiful as their's was, is a rare thing!
I absolutely loved the ending.
I also loved that a movie CAN be truly wonderful, beautiful and touching WITHOUT grafic "sex scenes!" Also sadly a rare thing in movies today.

Ever seen "Hanover Street?" Equally beautiful. No SEX scenes either!

Pays music a complement. I love the classical pieces!.......2007-05-27

I do not have the soundtrack to The Notebook, but I do have the movie itself. Having said that, every song is wonderful. Some music carries with it, a wealth of emotion and a sense of timelessness. I love all of the classical pieces , perhaps the best, in this particular movie. Classical has never been my speed when it comes down to music, but something about this movie's classical masterpieces struck a chord in me...made me smile and maybe even sniffle a bit. If you are a fan of the movie, I'm sure you would love its soundtrack too. Music like this is ideal for a romantic evening or just for pleasure listening. You don't know if you'll like something until you give it a chance! So give this a chance!!

the Notebook soundtrack (Audio CD).......2007-05-13

This is a beautiful collection of music from the movie, The Notebook. Most is instrumental, very relaxing, as well as lively at times. Two renditions of "I'll Be Seeing You" are included.

Very Nice.......2007-03-30

I really enjoyed listening to the soundtrack, but I'm also a big fan of background music and this cd was great for both. Listening to the cd took me back to the movie and reminded me how much I enjoyed it, but I also put the cd on during a nice meal with friends and it worked out very well, they all enjoyed the music.

A sweeping, emotional standout!.......2007-01-11

The music from The Notebook brings you right back to the film, capturing your heart and soul. It's music will roll live waves through your soul and bring you from nostalgia to your own feelings of love and desire. The selections, arrangements and orchestrations are to be admired, and Mr. Zigman is to be praised. This soundtrack truly completes the legacy of "The Notebook".

Don't Do It!.......2005-02-09

Glenn Miller had several great bands. This is not one of them.
These have to be the most soulless, sterile, uninspiring versions of these songs available. Yeah, it was recorded digitally, but so what? Everything sounds close-miked and unbalanced. Did the drummer on these tracks ever even HEAR an original Miller recording?? Man...way off.
Could have been a good idea, but badly executed. The 15-track Greatest Hits CD (RCA), on the other hand, is remastered with care and sounds a lot better than this plastic recording, Hi-Fi
or not.

Buy it for the booklet and not the music.......2002-10-05

My number-one question is, Why did they bother to produce a recording by studio musicians who, regardless of their abilities, don't really have a feel for the Miller sound? The music is technically perfect, but lacking not just the "soul" of the original orchestra but even that of the follow-on bands led by Ray McKinley, Tex Beneke, and Larry O'Brien. Anyone who wants to hear the TRUE Miller sound would be much better served by buying any of the dozens of albums available by the original civilian and AAF orchestras. The sheer number that are for sale, some 60 years on, are a far greater tribute to Glenn Miller's talent than is this CD.

I did assign 3 stars, primarily for the accompanying booklet. It goes far beyond the normal recitations of Miller's life and tragic disappearance, providing insights into his personality along with a treasure trove of little-known facts. For example, how many fans are aware that he authored a reference book about arranging techniques, or that "In the Mood" was originally titled "Tar Paper Stomp"?

Unfortunately even the booklet is not without its problems. There are at least a half-dozen major factual errors, including an entire paragraph referring to Skip MARTIN, rather than Skip NELSON, as the vocalist who followed Ray Eberle in the final months of the civilian band's existence. Yes, there was a Skip Martin in the band as well, but he played sax for a while around 1940 - hardly the same role or time frame. If the music were better I might excuse the gaffes, but I can't.

Always in the mood for this cd.......2001-02-04

My brother first got this album and was playing it one Christmas when all the family was home. This united the generations and had everyone dancing to its rich, full beat.

It pulsates, it moves, it's good stuff!

Get ready to swing!!.......2001-01-28

Amazing sound quality. Great music. Includes informative 44-page booklet on Miller's history and informative liner notes on each song.

So why only 4 stars and not 5?

First, the running time is only a half hour, but seeing it was recorded in 1983 (when the average album's running time was 35-40 minutes), I can understand why. Also, although these recordings are stunning, they are not originals. But that would defeat the purpose of creating a superior sounding CD, which is why these songs were re-recorded with a digital mood!! This is an enjoyabe addition to your Miller collection.

For a great original Miller CD, I highly recommend "The Essential Glenn Miller" (2CD's).

super music.......2000-12-24

This is the best Glenn Miller I have heard in a long time. I am a baby boomer and was brought up on big band music. Hearing Saint Louis Blues March like it was played is a joy to my ears, for I love that piece of music, and all the others on the cd. It is a must for any Miller fan to have in his or her collection.

Intimate gem and a wonderful hommage.......2007-04-30

Giving the enormous genius and extensive Woody Allen's work (one of my Top Five American Directors)it is practically impossible for me to choose a favorite.
Nevertheless, "Radio Days" is Allen's movie that I enjoy the most, based on a pure emotional impulse. Here you find the perfect mix of fun and love: Allen evocative memory of his infancy is treated with such tenderness and understanding, fun and respect, that even not being born or lived in the radio era you ends loving it as the author did.
And that is precisely a great piece of art: the one that correctly connect the audience with the subject depicted.
Everything here works: the superb music selection, the link between music and situations, the mood of every scene, characters and actors, and Allen's own appearance as the narrator.
A masterpiece.

radio days.......2007-03-09

One of the few videos that I can watch over and over. A must see

Beautiful musical landscapes.......2007-01-28

I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight I got that old feeling
The moment you came by I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye
My heart stood still
Once again I seemed to have that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me
It's foolish to start
For that old feeling is still in my heart

The score to Woody Allen's film Radio Days boasts magnificent classic songs and instrumental numbers mostly from the World War 2 era. Each song has a haunting melody to it with a quiet strength; these songs as a track set produce a stunning CD.

The CD begins with swinging big band flavored "In The Mood" by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra. The CD then turns into a mood that is even more playful with "I Double Dare You" by Larry Clinton and His Orchestra. "Opus No. 1" by Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra follows--these three songs in succession generate a grand slam opening! Excellent!

Other classic instrumentals on this CD include "Frenesi" by Artie Shaw and His Orchestra; "Body And Soul" by The Benny Goodman Trio and "I'm Getting' Sentimental Over You" performed flawlessly by Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra. Each instrumental track paints beautiful musical landscapes and each number brings back memories for those of us who lived through those years.

Classic vocal numbers on this CD stun you with their potency. "You And I" by Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra opens as an instrumental and when Sinatra joins in his vocals are perfect; Sinatra never sings a superfluous note. SMILES "Remember Pearl Harbor" is equally potent and very patriotic; the lyrics order fighting soldiers to win the war at any cost and to never forget the tragedy of Pearl Harbor. Moreover, Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians impeccably execute "That Old Feeling," a romantic ballad with unforgettable lyrics.

The CD song stack ends with the potent "One, Two, Three, Kick" by Xavier Cugat and His Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra. The Cuban beat of this song seduces you to listen more--don't be surprised if you play this entire CD over again because just one listen won't make you sick of these fine numbers the second time around!

The liner notes give the credits for the movie and a list of the songs on the CD. I wanted an essay about the movie and its songs; but that's just not here. This is a minor disappointment.

Unfortunately, a more important disappointment exists. The tracks on the CD have too much surface noise which proves not enough care was given to digitally remaster this wonderful numbers. To be fair, perhaps they remastered these numbers with state of the art equipment in 1987 when they released this CD. They could have re-released this CD with superior remastering equipment over the last twenty years. Unfortunately, I have to take off one star for this to make this a four star review.

Overall, this CD provides not only the music from the movie Radio Days; it also helps us all appreciate the wonderful music from the World War 2 era. I recommend this CD for fans of classic pop vocals. Fans of motion picture soundtracks will be very pleased with this album as well.

Great Music.......2007-01-12

I bought this movie for a friend for Christmas and ended up watching it with them. I'm not a big Woody Allen fan, but the story was very well done and kept me interested. What I really loved was all the music. All around a good movie. Enjoy

This was a gift.......2007-01-12

My friend has raved about this movie. Of course she relates this movie to her growing up years in New York. She has shown it to several of her friends. This was a good choice as a gift for her.

Big Band Music.......2007-04-25

If you like Glenn Miller, you will like this CD. It contains many of his greatest hits. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. These are original Glenn Miller recordings.

The first Glenn Miller Compact Disc........2006-04-12

This is the first Glenn Miller disc I bought back in the eighties and I think it's the first CD ever released of Glenn Miller`s hits. 16 great songs with those darn "scratches and pops," but that's alright, it makes the music breath in my opinion.

I also bought the "Essential Glenn Miller" collection and I thought it suffered from too much noise reduction and the song selection was too heavy on Eberle ballads. The "Unforgettable Glenn Miller & His Orchestra" collection has just one Eberle song and it's biggest hit "Serenade In Blue."

I've since bought the 3 disc/60 song "Popular Recordings" collection. That too has some of those "scratches and pops," but they just don't bother me at all. Anyway, this disc makes a great starting point, in your Glenn Miller discoveries.

Finally, why can't these compilations of old 78's have a few more seconds between them? Essentially we have a bunch of singles all crammed together, so why not let them have some breathing room. As I recall, the British Beatles albums from 1963 to 1966 had a seven second break between songs. I loved it! It was like letting dust settle before being inundated with another song right away. It basically gives each song it's own spotlight. Oh, the days of one song at a time.

Don't buy this collection unless you prefer scratches and pops.......2006-01-22

Listen to the sample of Tuxedo Junction -- even on this remaster you can clearly hear the source LP scratches and pops. Compare the same song on Essential Glenn Miller (1995 or 2005).

All the best...the creme de la creme of the Miller orchestra.......2004-05-04

While I enjoy the music of the Big Band era I am hardly an expert. The Big Band era ended before I was born. However, like so many others before me I am partial to the Glenn Miller Orchestra. There were so many great tunes and sixteen of the best are included on this marvelous CD. There is also a nice eight page booklet highlighting the history of the band. Isn't it amazing how this music has stood the test of time? Songs like "In The Mood", "A String of Pearls" and "Moonlight Seranade" sound every bit as good today as they did in the heyday of the Glen Island Casino in the late 1930's and 1940's. Some of the other memorable tunes in this collection are "Chattanooga Choo Choo" from 1941 and the ever popular "Tuxedo Junction" which topped the charts for 9 weeks in 1940. At the peak of his popularity in 1942, Miller decided to enlist in what was then known as the Army Air Force. He formed the war's most famous service band and spent the next couple of years entertaining our troops. Unfortunately, his plane was lost on a stormy December night in 1944 over the English Channel. Glenn Miller was an American institution. The Glenn Miller Orchestra boasted over 80 charted singles. And the overwhelming majority of these were Top Ten smashes. He was truly a dominant figure in American popular music. No one CD can do justice to the man's remarkable career. But this one is not a bad start. Great memories for the long time fan and a terrific introduction for the uninitiated. Highly recommended!!!

A must-have!.......2003-11-18

Glenn Miller (1909-44) is often remembered as one of the greatest bandleaders and composers of the Big Band Era. This CD was put together by RCA in 1985, and is a collection of sixteen of Glenn Miller's greatest works, as performed by himself and his band during the 1940s! The tunes have not been digitally remastered, or anything like that, but the sound quality actually took me back to my childhood, hearing again my father's old records.

Among the sixteen tunes are such classics as Moonlight Serenade, In the Mood, and Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree. The liner notes are practically nonexistent, which is unfortunate, as I would really like to know who the female singer is on Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (her voice is wonderful!). So, if you are a fan of swing music, or just want a taste of that 1940s sound, then I highly recommend that you get this CD. It's a must-have!

Very good but not original Glenn Miller orchestra.......2007-04-13

Very good but not the original Glenn Miller Orchestra. No vocals. The band plays Miller very well. I like it. It might sound like Glenn would play it today.

Big band from the 1930's.......2005-06-04

The original Glenn Miller Orchestra from the 1930s. He is officially "missing in action" after the airplane he was on went down somewhere over the English Channel during World War II. This is an excellent collection from the big band era, when the big bands went on tour around the country. There are 10 tracks (playing time 29:09).

40s music that doesn't sound corny or hokey.......2004-01-17

This is good big band music. It doesn't have that hokey feel to it like other recordings of big bands in the forties do; there aren't any vocals to get in the way of the band either. It's a great CD if you're looking for Glenn (yes, it's spelled with two n's) Miller's music.

The Viennese waltz is never far from violinist Andre Rieu's heart, but you won't find a single work from Johann Strauss on Life Is Beautiful. This time around, Rieu is globetrotting for his hummable, danceable melodies--to solid results. "Ole Guapa" is a tango featuring accordion; "Kalinka" is a familiar Russian tune; and "Amazing Grace," "Snow White," and Rieu's "Glenn Miller Melody" are tried-and-true American. Throughout, Rieu and his orchestra perform these works with plenty of style and polish; it's easy to see why he's such a hit with public-television audiences. His shortened version of Bolero may not be the sexiest available, but it is fun. --Jason Verlinde

Customer Reviews:

Romantic.......2003-09-10

Andre Rieu captures the romantic's heart once again in this, what is for the most part, a passionate album.

I feel the best tracks on this album are the russian-themed ones, like the title track (which I listen to on REPEAT when I am looking through my russian countryside or Romanov family album books). I feel that this and "Lara's Theme" (Maurice Jarre's love theme from the film DR. ZHIVAGO (a wonderful book and DVD)! conveys the passion for homeland which I strongly feel beats strongest in the hearts of all russians, more than than any other people). These compositions are so beautiful that it brings tears to the eyes if one surrenders oneself to them.

andre rieu.......2002-09-04

all i can say about andre,s music is i have over 15 cd,s and love ever one and rate them 5 stars.

Andre Rieu.......2001-09-28

I am a big fan of Andre Rieu but didnot enjoy this as much as several of his earlier recordings. It didn't have quite the zip as "Andre Rieu Live" or "The Holland I Love".

Music is beautiful.......2001-09-11

As soon as I saw Ravel's Bolero performed by Andre Rieu on PBS I wanted to have a copy of this beautiful album.. classical music that makes you get up and dance..
