Very disappointing, considering what it could have been.......2007-04-20

Take a look at the running times:

Disc 1: 60 minutes
Disc 2: 50 minutes
Disc 3: 61 minutes
Disc 4: 58 minutes

What gives Silva? There is *MUCH* more John Williams in the silva screen back catalogue by the Prague Philharmonic than what is in this set, and thats not including their entire discs devoted to Star Wars Films, Indiana Jones Trilogy etc. Why isn't Hook "When You're Alone" included on Disc 2? There's room. Why isn't 1941 on Disc 1? There's room. Why isn't Earthquake on Disc 3? There's room. Why isn't Far and Away on disc 4? There's room. Where's the other ten minutes of the Rare Breed suite on disc 3? Why isn't Midway on disc 1? Where are the Land of the Giants, Time Tunnel and Lots In Space tv themes? Etc. Etc. Etc.

C'mon Silva, most of these 4 disc mega boxes released in the past few years are packed to the brim, but not this one, and with new recordings made after this was released (the terminal, munich, geisha, war of the worlds, star wars ep 3, harry potter 3), it only makes sense for a "re-do" in the next couple of years.

Further, with Silva releasing the 100 Greatest Film Themes on six discs in a couple of months, it's only a matter of time before we see the ultimate six disc john williams set.

This isn't a BAD set to own, but it could have been much better and when compared to the Jerry Goldsmith and John Barry sets in this same series, this one is a major letdown.

Always a pleaser.......2007-03-31

I listen to music all day with patients in my dental chair. This one is a winner with everyone. Patients always comment on how they recognize a song. Who doesn't love John Williams? His music transcends time.

JOHN WILLIAMS 40 Years of Film Music.......2007-01-10

This 4 cd pack is an anthology of all John Williams works. From his earlier works "The Poseidon Adventure" and "Jaws" right through "Indiana Jones" and the most recent"Star Wars" prequel movies are included. Williams work in thriller and horror are also included. If you are into soundtracks and love movie music this is an essential buy. The quality of the music is excellent. With ten or more tracks on each cd it's well worth the money.

Movie Music Magic & Memorabilia.......2006-12-13

This four CD set expands on the previously released John Williams Greatest Hits. It's a grand collection of nearly four hours of famous music scores from over forty years. There are many songs never before available in any collection. The short liner notes tell a great tale of musical movie history and include all of his numerous award nominations and wins. Each song (oddly enough) mentions the actors and the director, so fond are John Williams's memories of his work with these people. All of the conductors are mentioned along with specific orchestras, choirs, arrangement and orchestration specialists and even the publishers (contractual, I am sure). The only things missing are his early television scores, such as those for "Lost In Space" (by Johnny Williams back then). But with four discs, one has nothing to complain about and everything to enjoy!

John Williams: 40 Years of Outstanding Film Music.......2006-11-28

I have been a huge fan of John Williams and I have known about his music for years. However, I never actually bought any of his music on CD. I was rather skeptical about purchasing this CD but when it arrived I knew I had made the right choice. The sound quality of the compilation is outstanding. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do a great job under the direction of Paul Bateman. The original London Symphony Orchestra CDs of John Williams' Star Wars Trilogy CDs are marginally better but this is still a great CD compilation. If you love ET, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter, you will love this compilation soundtrack. Buy it, listen to these CDs in the car and enjoy every minute of the collection!!!

After laying down a memorable vocal on Artful Dodger's "Re-Wind," the biggest hit to date of the latest U.K.-spawned dance craze known as two-step, Craig David's debut record carries lofty expectations. Born out of the R&B/hip-hop and U.K. garage styles of artists like Romanthony, MJ Cole, and Timbaland, with dashes of spastic drum & bass-style rhythms and DJ scratches, two-step is waiting for its first major breakthrough. On his debut full-length, Born to Do It, it's immediately obvious that this breakthrough won't be supplied by David, only because his style isn't really proper two-step at all. His smooth tenor and hip-hop-oriented, verse-chorus-verse song structures are much more in line with the urban soul and new jack swing sound of artists like R. Kelly, Sisqo, and D'Angelo. Still, for an artist who just turned 20, this is an incredibly assured record with a sweet, romantic core that only a cold cynic could deride as youthful naiveté. In addition, while only occasionally hinting at the darker passions of true two-step, the record drips with an advanced rhythmic sense that manifests itself everywhere, from the clever wordplay in the lyrics of songs like "Fill Me In" and "7 Days" to the bells-and-whistles production on the giddy "Time to Party." For those after a true introduction to two-step, there are better choices (start with MJ Cole's Sincere, the Vital 2Step collection, or just jump a plane to London and go club-hopping), but still enjoy this record for its boyish pleasures, teasing sexuality, and irresistible grooves. --Matthew Cooke

Believe the Hype .......2007-03-16

This album lives up to the hype and after listening to the album many times I now understand why there was so much hype over this album and why celebrities were raving about it. P. Diddy said "This is the soundtrack of my life" An artist like this and music like this makes me wish I still lived in England or at least kept up with British pop/music more because there are great artists and hidden gems over there like Craig David that don't get the respect or recognition in the United States, which is a shame. No British artists lasts or really go mainstream in the U.S unless they are the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Cold play, Elton John, etc. just to name a few. Your either born great or your not, and Craig David definitely is, but has not really bounced back in the U.S since this album and his sophomore slump. His third album was almost nonexistent and not really promoted. Come back Craig to the U.S we need more of your music.

5 years passed, and this album still gets 5 stars..........2007-01-03

talk about a one album wonder! (i hate saying that but....) :\

while its unfortunate his last two albums weren't nearly as enjoyable as this one, some of that could be blamed on how truly FANTASTIC "Born To Do It" is. some of it could also be blamed on the typical downswing some artists encounter after achieving fame and fortune, (money does change people!) but nonetheless, throughout the album, rarely does he mention materialistic pleasures in life.... rather, he totally reminds (those of you who are older) just what it's like to be young, and at that age, how some girls made you feel. i believe he was 18 or 19 when these songs were written so there's your explanation.

anyhow, here's something worth noting..... there are only TWO songs on the CD where he sings about being taken and how happy he is, the rest of the album is: falling out of relationships, going out and looking for a date or "a night of fun" (i honestly feel there's nothing with that unless you're TAKEN.... and you use a jimmy hat), or the regret of breaking up with a previous girlfriend.

i think Rendezvous is one of the best 5 songs ever written... by any musician. it just has an effect that is nearly impossible to match, from the lyrics to the deep melody to the entire flow of the song. the only thing i would've changed about that song, is lengthening the second verse. perhaps its nit-picking but hey, music is all opinion right? i just feel that its so refreshing NOT to hear women being objectified for a change!

i understand not everyone likes R&B, and also not everyone likes "old" music (even though this album's not that old) all i will say is, ultimately this CD is different. in a good way. it's uniqueness shines from start to finish, every track has its own way of pulling you in.

so i'm done telling you how i feel, go experience Born To Do It for yourself.

Definitely Born To Do It.......2006-12-20

I think David's career has kind of gone off the deep end since a la Outkast, but this CD is the real deal. Consistently good music throughout the LP and he never lets up. When I first heard the first single "Fill Me In," I was not the least bit impressed. While I did eventually warm up to the song, I still think it is one of the weaker songs on the album. This CD screams urban soul, and David fills the role to perfection. Songs like "Rendezvous," "7 Days," "Walking Away," and "You Know What" are just some of the hits peppered across the album, and there isn't one song that I have to skip past. While I am not a big fan of David's subsequent music, there is no denying that Born To Do It is a primer for all American R&B artists.

'Born to Do it' could form a little growth........2006-07-24

Craig David's voice smoothly delivers a simple line which comes across buttery with his British accent. Craig David's debut album is a good showcase. To me not all the tracks are solid but nevertheless Craig David shows he has talent in abundance.

The singles `Fill Me In,' `Seven Days,' `Walking Away,' and the Artful Dodger collaboration `Rewind' are definitely the strongest songs on this album. This album doesn't contain all that many garage tracks, instead possessing more of a light R&B feel to it.

Some tracks like `Once In A Lifetime' and `You Know What' can get a tad bit boring for my liking, but the brilliant `Walking Away' and the Latin-tinged `Seven Days' display David's vocal dexterity at his best. `Fill Me In' is a catchy song with clever wordplay about how Mr. David gets it on with the girl next door. In "Follow Me," the sexy way he pronounces "to my bedroom" is enough to create Goosebumps down one's arm. `Rendezvouz' is a decent song that shows the flexibility in David's voice. `Bootyman,' `Can't Be Messin,' 'Round," are three track where David impresses his vocal speed which I feel he shouldn't do much of because it personally doesn't fit him.

I would actually give it 3.5 stars instead of 3 due to the various styles. This album is definitely a unique, fresh style of R&B, and is worth picking up even though it's a LITTLE-BIT incomplete ;)

EXCELLENT.......2005-08-17

I usually don't do these review things, but I do read them. However, I could not see myself passing this review up. This cd was unbelievable. Hearing "Fill Me In" again, I had to buy this cd. And to my surprise just about every song was as good as his hit single. Born To Do It turned to be one my best cd's in my collection, and one of my favorites.

Mill. Classical review.......2007-05-13

This is a great set of recordings for the money, the only problem was I've had to clean some of the CD's before they played correctly.

classical music for the unitiated.......2007-04-01

This set is a good way to start listening to classical music. It's very well produced and easy to listen to. I purchased it to use as part of my world history high school class. It would have been nice to have some bio information on the composers. However, the product is exactly as advertised and good value for the money. The students were intrigued by how many of the excerpts they had heard before.

Some little gems there that I had forgotten!.......2007-03-30

Although I studied classical music at school, I had all but forgotten it until I bought this set. I heard several tracks I haven't heard for over 30 years, and I had been humming Brahms's 'Hungarian Dance no. 5' for years without ever knowing what it was and it was on the disc, so that was nice.

I found it to be a very good selection overall, but I felt too much had already been heard on TV, which of course is what lots of newcomers to classical music might appreciate. I managed to find about 2 hours of tracks that I wanted to keep, which works out quite expensive per disc, but I did find some wonderful music I had completely forgotten about, so it was worth it. All in all, it represents good value, and I have only knocked one star off as so much of it had been used in adverts.

It is definitely a good introduction to classical music, and it has made me want to listen to more of it, so I don't regret this 'expensive' purchase one bit!

Classical Masterpieces of the Millennium [20 CD Set]

A very helpful collection.......2007-03-24

I define this set as an excellent way to find out who you like, and who you don't, among 20 of the important composers. It opens the door to purchasing more complete pieces by composers you do like, and can save a lot of time and money in the process.
To criticize the set for not containing more composers, or more than just snippets of those who are in the set, is missing the point: it is a helpful introduction to finding your way in the huge maze of classical music. It succeeds admirably in this.
Sound quality is uniformly very good on an audiophile system.
Highly recommended.

Excellent!.......2007-03-08

A great way to start a classical music collection. It's nice to have a full CD of each composer. It makes it easy to keep track of selections/composers I already have and what composers I still need to puchase to complete my collection.

Wonderful first album! I still love it today! .......2006-03-17

En Vogue's first album just exploded onto the scene in 1990. I thought that they made a wonderful first album that is full of strong singing from the California-based R&B quartet. I've since lost the cassette, but I'd definitely get the CD version of this album. There's more emphasis on R&B, but the shades of hip-hop beats are sprinkled within songs like Hold On (still a classic) and You Don't Have To Worry. I still love the ballad Don't Go and a surprise is the wonderful remake of Natalie Cole's Just Can't Stay Away. They helped inspire many R&B girl groups that came out in the 90s and they had class too in this album and their performances. Please get this album soon!

Great Debut Album.......2005-05-07

I enjoy the album still to this day. All the songs are good, but I listen a couple of songs more than others such as Hold On, You don't have to worry, Don't Go. This is a great album, which I don't planning on selling or trading anytime soon.

En Vogue WERE Born To Sing!.......2005-04-03

I never noticed En Vogue much growing up. I guess I was more invovled with the hip-hop/soul quirkiness of TLC to really notice this sassy quartet. Sure I had heard of their mind blowing "Free Your Mind" and harmonizing funk of "Never Gonna Get My Love" from their highly acclaimed 1992 release "Funky Divas" but I never really delved into their music untill now. I brought "Born To Sing" at my local used music store and I was amazed at how fresh this album sounds even though this album is fifteen years old!
En Vogue has a style that is sexy, brash and classy, not to mention their stellar vocal stylings which all four women mesh well together and never sound boring or competing. The women of En Vogue (Dawn, Cindy, Terri and Maxine) take turns sharing the spotlight on their 1990 debut and they all can hold their own.
With a little help from Club Noveau (spell?-they brought you the remake of the Bill Withers classic "Lean On Me" and were once called the Timex Social Club which had a hit called "Rumors") members Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster, En Vogue captures the esscense of early 90's New Jack with their debut.
The hits were the street funky "Hold On" which features a nice little intro of the Jackson 5's "Who's Loving You" but seems out of place with the song itself. "Lies" was next with it's hip-hop New Jack piano and a female rapper named Debbie T. Then the harmonious "You Don't Have To Worry" and the drum machine drenched "Don't Go" summed up the biggest hits off the album and also the best songs off the album. The other tracks hold up well against the hits, such as the quirky and sharp "Strange" and the small interlude of the Andrews Sisters classic "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" which had a hip-hop flair to it and that I wished was longer. "Luv Lines" is another notable which features some great keyboard work and showcases some demanding singing from Dawn. And the bonus track "Waitin' On You" features some sultry vocals from Cindy and a wonderful sax by late great sax player Grover Washington Jr. and the glorious remake of "Just Can't Stay Away" holds well with the original. Still there are some duds like the eerie "Part Of Me" which isn't great at times and it can be sleep enducing but still En Vogue take turns at singing lead on this one and I give them props for that. Also "Time Goes On" is verry annoying after a couple of listens especially with the repetative "Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock" it practically drove me insane at first listen!
With some funny interludes ("Party" features the girls at a party being approached by some stupid guys, it's verry funny and it reminds me of some of the guys that approach me at parties-you do want to say "NOOO!"), harmonous vocals, toe-tapping music and a sense of style and class from these ladies you will fully enjoy "Born To Sing" if you buy it. I'm now planning on purchasing "Funky Divas" and more En Vogue albums (though sadly Dawn left and the group it was never the same). A very good solid debut that makes you want to stand up and applaud!

Where it all began.....pretty good!!.......2004-12-14

Cindy has the airy voice. Dawn, the soul. Terry, the power. Maxine, the sexiness. Combined, they were one of the most well-known girl goups known to man: En Vogue.

En Vogue was spawned by a couple of memebers from Culture Club, Denny Foster and Thomas McElroy. Who would've known what a group EV would turn out to be? En Vogue is the group that most artists then and now modeled themselves after and list as inspirations.

You can't go wrong with soulful voices that all fit the bill of being a true soloist. The voices blended together create harmony that is almost unheard of these days. Even in the faster songs you hear the harmony that we all loved. "Hold On" is the most recognized song that shot EV to super-stardom. It starts with a lovely and well-known acappella version of "Who's Lovin' You" from Jackson 5. Terry leads and the girls back her up well, and then Cindy throws down on the rest of the leads. Cindy also leads on the classic "You Don't Have To Worry", another hit for the girls. All of the girls share leads on the tight New Jack Swing song "Lies", which also has a cameo from a relatively unknown Debbie T (those of you with ears to the underground know her, mainstream America doesn't). The song flows effervescently. Also worth mentioning is the song "Luv Lines", in which Dawn belts out with the soul we all love.

If anything, a girl group must come hard with ballads or they will fall into obscurity; never the case with En Vogue. With such lovely-blended voices, how can you go wrong with ballads? Check out "Part of Me", my favorite song on the album. Each girls sings a lead and then harmonizes well, and the harmony soars throughout the song. This song isn't really a ballad as much as it is a socially themed song, but the girls reall shine on it. Definitely check out the song "Don't Go", in which Terry really shows off her vocal versatility. The girls throw down with this old-school type song. Speaking of old school, "Just Can't Stay Away" is one of the best remakes I have heard in a while. The girls' voices soar over Terry's leads, and this song is just a masterpiece!

We also are treated to a couple of interludes...one, a funny one in the beginning of the album, "Party" is just too much for me! lol. Also, at the end of "Strange", you get a funny interlude with Terry and Cindy talking about people. Also, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" is an updated version of the classic Andrews Sister song...just listen to Terry say "uh uh, not that version" and you will laugh like crazy. En Vogue is definitely known for their crazy interludes.

The one song I didn't care for on here was "Time Goes On". I just couldn't get into it, because it really grated on my nerves after trying to like it.

En Vogue epitomizes harmony in every sense of the word. When you think of En Vogue, you think, "man, them girls can sing!". What a perfect title for this album. A definite R&B collector's item!!

Born To Rule!!!!.......2003-11-24

Born to Sing is an awesome cd where all the women of En Vogue show their amazing vocals. The songs Just Can't Stay Away, Part of Me, You Don't Have To Worry and Waitin On You are prime examples. On this album you'll find the amazing hits Hold On, Lies, Don't Go, and You Don't Have to Worry. With this being their first album EV showed that they are the best girl group ever!

The line between evangelist and entertainer has always been somewhat indistinct. But as showcased on this 43-track, double-disc collection culled from his '87-'96 recordings for Elektra/Nonesuch/Atlantic, Michael Feinstein's dedication to spreading the gospel of the American song often blurs it beyond recognition. While the singer's pedigree for the task is impeccable (a long-term stint as Ira Gershwin's assistant and early career sponsorship by Liza Minnelli), his interpretations often succeed by playing off a tense axis of fervent emotionalism and a joyous sense of irreverence.

If his readings of romantic standards can sometimes tend toward the precious, they're often balanced here by sheer dramatic power and telling insights ("Isn't It Romantic" fairly bristles with ironic chauvinism) and a few loopy curves ("The Mole People," the Sherman Brothers' "The Ugly Bug Ball," and the previously unreleased "Rhode Island Is Famous for You"). Feinstein's dedicated song archaeology is also showcased on several gems: "Violin," a duet with Liza Minnelli; "My Favorite Year," a rejected ballad for the film of that name; the sublime "lost" Gershwin classic "Ask Me Again."

Sprinkled with live performances (the forum where Feinstein's talents seem most energized) and studio outtakes and featuring a lengthy print interview with the singer, the set chronicles both the pioneering efforts of one of pop music's most successful revivalists and, crucially, the cream of his beloved American songwriters, from stalwarts Gershwin, Berlin, and Porter to later legends like Herman, Styne, Lane, Martin, and Mercer. --Jerry McCulley

Mixed feelings.......2005-10-05

This album has some GREAT songs on it; sophisticated swing being one of my favorites. However many of the other songs are too operatic and lame. I give three stars but this album is definatly worth it just for some of the better songs.

Your love for this superb collection will be here to stay..........2002-07-18

The magnificently talented Michael Feinstein has made one wonderful album after another for nearly two decades. Now that Elektra and Rhino have put together this anthology, I am blown away by the versatility and diversity in Feinstein's recorded output. Such amazing rare gems, combined with the most beloved favorites in the history of American Popular Song. Assembled with wit, intelligence, and obvious affection on the part of the record company, this set is a keeper. You'll love it!

He's done it again.......2002-07-15

Is there anything this man can't sing? This collection is so varied as to be the definitive collection of songs for any occassion.

This is perfect background music for a dinner party for a whole group but especially for two. Light, romantic and just gorgeous. You just can't go wrong when Michael Feinstein is your musical choice.

Way to go Michael, you've done it again!

Absolutely 'S WONDERFUL!.......2002-06-10

There are very few contemporary performers who can hold their own with the truly great interpreters of American popular song. Michael Feinstein is truly the ONLY performer of the "younger" generation who really understands what these songs are all about. His incredible knowledge of this music, and his enthusiasm and passion for it have fueled his career. Rhino Records has done a truly outstanding job of putting together an anthology that exemplifies why Mr. Feinstein has become so beloved by audiences around the world. The packaging is excellent, and filled with interesting photos and background information about many of the selections.

This collection not only contains all the favorites one would expect, but a neat group of surprises too. I especially love the duets with people like Liza Minnelli and Rosemary Clooney, and the various collaborative efforts with songwriters like Jule Styne and Burton Lane accompanying Michael at the piano.

This collection is a classic to be treasured. Bravo Michael!
Bravo Rhino!

A beautiful 2 disc CD-another hit for Michael.......2002-06-09

I have every CD Michael has ever made and this is by far one of the best ones because of Michael's range in singing and his wonderful singing voice. I love his duets with Rosemary Clooney and Liza Minelli. He is a wonderful performer on this double CD and am looking foward to the next CD.

Wrong Track Listing.......2005-09-20

I was disappointed when I received this CD. The Amazon site lists five other tracks besides Born To Be Alive. I bought the CD for the song You Turn Me On. This song does not exist on the CD. It only contains three versions of the song Born To Be Alive. If this is the only song you want, then this is a good CD. If, however, you are hoping to hear any of the other five songs, steer clear. They don't exist. Whatever happened to truth in advertising?

Upbeat and positive in a negative world.......2005-08-02

I saw the Bacardi commercial and loved the song. It motivates and makes one feel good that life can be better. The two remixes of the original 79' version are cool and provide a new outlook on this classic track.

Born to B alive (2004 mix).......2005-01-06

Well I have loved this song for so long and for so many reasons, and it really makes you feel good inside, as if all your problems will fade, and with all bad....there is a positive outlook, plus it has a GREAT addictive beat. I currently have the 2004 Spincycle Fluff mix clocking in at 9:48, of Born 2 B Alive, it remains with the same beat, and does not stray from it however, there are added twists and turns, and over dubs, it is exceptional, Probably a white label, which means only a few were printed, and they are probably never to be released again. It is 2 bad that this classic was not released as a "new 2004 remix" gee Barry Manilow released the classic Copacabana, as well as Rod Stewart released Do Ya Think I'm Sexy, both 2004-2005 remixes via the fantastic Ralphi Rosario, and Pter Ruhofer, 2 excellent DJ mixers, both are remixed 2 perfection, with the "do not stray, yet spice it up attitude, both have so many mixes and nothing under 7 min, and nothing over 13min" The ball has begun to roll from past to forward, meaning history "DOES" repeat itself....and look 4 more in the future, I currently have SO many re-released songs remixed to todays standards of floor packed fun...from Sara, Edge of 17, Everywhere (Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks) Games People Play/Alan Parsons Project, Eleanor Rigby/Beatles, and one classic I have ALWAYS been fond of is The Logical Song/Supertramp. Go Figure, music is a booming business, and these are a few of the new remixes I even have Elton John Rocket Man, and Your Song re-released both in at 7-12 min long(promotional... sorry guys)to the club standards of today, look in DJ record stores, alot is on 12" vinyl (yes they STILL Make RECORDS, as a friend of mine almost went into full cardiac arrest, (just kidding) but he was in SHOCK. However being a prof. DJ and knowing the right people sometimes is a great help. I currently do not own the CD I am rating, yet I am sure it is great, Figured I'd throw a few thoughts your way. Jason Prof DJ

Pretty good CD.......2000-04-17

This CD is one to own if you love "Born to be Alive". It has parts of the extended version mixed in. Some parts are corny, but overall it's worth buying.

Eric Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops have done it again. This is a spectacular collection. It makes you feel like getting dressed up with a lot of glitz and glam and going dancing. Though I must admit that Fredrica Von Stade's rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" will definitely touch your heart.

Highly addictive!.......2007-02-16

I'm not much into disco or anything, but I have to say I can't stop listening to this CD! "Born To Be Alive" is one of the best classic songs I've ever heard. It's the perfect tune to listen to when you need a good pick-me-up. It's also good to play while pounding shots with buddies or playing drinking games, but that's just my recent experience... Overall, it's a great reminder that the glass is always half-full, along with what great times you'll potentially have in the future! The rest of the CD isn't half-bad either...

Born To Be Alive.......2006-08-22

Does anyone know what version(s) of Born To Be Alive are on the Best Of Patrick Hernandez?

Born to be alive!.......2004-01-17

I feel very lucky to have heard this song fresh out of the recording studio in 1980, up to now it remains one of my all time favorites, Thank You Patrick for such a wonderful cut, you trully gave Disco a reason to be alive within all of us.

Thank you, Patrick.......2003-07-10

I just had the lyrics of this song tattooed on my back. My wife is a soldier overseas and when she gets back and sees this....(I'll make sure to have the song playing in the meanwhile) she'll either be my eternal love slave or she will divorce me. Regardless, this is the best song ever created.

great song.......2001-07-17

The song Born to be alive is the bomb, I go's great at parties that I throw and at the bar that I work at.. But if it was not for Vegas Vacation this song would have not been in my c.d. player....

The best from The Best Singer and Tenor of all time........2007-04-24

This is a beautiful collection of songs. Once again it exhibits the depth and breath of Mario Lanza's vocal abilities. It is wonderful to hear him sing such lovely melodies. It is also splendid to read Derek Mannering's explanation of how Lanza interpreted each song with his heart and soul. For anyone who is a fan of Mario's, this collection is worth the price.

Gorgeous.......2001-11-25

Most of these songs are from the popular radio show he did in the 50's, when his voice was at it's best. I own numerous Lanza cds, and I can never get enough of his glorious voice and these beautiful songs. A lot of them can be found on other albums, it's true, but the first song is a previously unreleased gem, which was a big selling point with me. How could I pass this up? Also a lot of the songs are different versions from others I have, so this album was definately a must have, for me. I think that anyone who is a true Lanza fan, will love this cd.

Another great CD by the greatest singer of all time!!!.......2001-07-17

Derek Mannering has done it again in releasing yet another first class CD collection by the "Voice of the Century", Mario Lanza. Most of the items on this album have been previously released either on vinyl, CD, or both, but this collection is worth having nonetheless. The one item here never before released is the beautifully sung "All the Things You Are" and did Lanza ever serve this one up in first class fashion. The singing here is extremely fresh and vibrant. A recording that I don't believe has been on CD before is the "You Are Love", from Showboat, presented here (different from the performance on the definitive "Don't Forget Me" C). Lanza shows us here a truly passionate and ardent Gaylord Revenal. No other singer sang this song as well. "On the Street Where You Live" is given a very virile and beautiful rendition by Lanza. I don't know where or when I have ever heard the song "Where or When" sung this well. The rest of the selections on this offering are terrific as well, but can be found on other collections. This collection is worth owning, if for no other reason than for the four selections previously mentioned. The sound quality is excellent, giving the Mario Lanza voice the benefit of its full presence. Lanza definitely had a true flair for the popular song and Broadway ballad, as well as the ringing operatic aria, no doubt about it. If you're looking for a collection of classic standard and Broadway tunes performed with the mastery and excellence that only Mario Lanza could deliver, this CD is the one for you. Highly recommended!!!
