These are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks.......2007-01-21

I was disappointed that these are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks. For example, in Colonel Bogey, the countermarch from the movie soundtrack is not included in the arrangement on this CD. Don't get me wrong, the songs are good, but I would have preferred the same arrangements as the original movies.

An outstanding compilation.......2006-08-25

This compilation is superb and a real must-buy. From Band of Brothers to A Bridge Too Far: every war movie theme is represented here. An all time classic.

The really good ones are missing........2005-07-18

While this compilation has some masterpieces such as the theme from The Great Escape and Is Paris Burning, it's missing some of the finest tracts ever written. Where is the theme from Victory and Ernest Gold's stirring epic from Cross of Iron? The closing theme from Inchon was also a feast for the ears, but it's not here. It was written by Jerry Goldsmith, one of the foremost soundtrack composers of our time. Instead we're subjected to the likes of Hanover Street and The English Patient. I'll admit Inchon and Victory weren't Academy Award winning movies, but their soundtracks were second to none. As John Stossel would say," Give me a break"!!!

"many were winners by the Academy for best scores".......2004-05-26

Another Strong Kenny Cd.......2004-11-03

G Force is Kenny at his R&B best! with that Great Kashif sound! here is another great cd in that smooth jazz tradition that is good all the way through... I do hope in the near future Kenny will return to this type of production and vary his sax playing.
"I've Been Missin'You' is some of Kenny's strongest playing!

Take It From Me.......2004-07-17

Anyone who has lived through the "fusion" Jazz era would understand. "G"-Force is the best Kenny G album ever made. You can't have a tru appreciation of jazz without realizing the importance of it's soul content.

Kenny G lost the edge that G-Force had begun to establish. David Sanborne and even his earlier partner Jeff Lorber have gone on to realize true success. They never lost that edge. Kashif's contributions to the G-Force album were wonderful. Kenny could have really been a G-Force in the jazz arena had he stayed with the flavor.

It was that creative energy back in the early 80's that made fusion jazz a beautiful thing. Judst check out "Back street" from David Sanborne. If anyone cannot appreciate the G-Force album, then they've missed the elements necessary to relate to fusion jazz.

Kenny G Ushered in Smooth Jazz.......2004-07-11

Between Kenny G and David Sanborn, we ended up with a new genre of jazz music, which thankfully has hung on after all of the horrible R & B that has hit the airwaves. Yes, I am more of an early Kenny G enthusiast (Duotones is his best, in my opinion, though I do love his Kashif colloborations), but people like Praful, Kevin Toney, and others owe it to the original sounds Kenny and Sanborn brought to the table. Get over the long hair and Michael Bolton fears, relax the "threat" to your manhood and enjoy decent music. This and Duotones are excellent starts to those who want to hear Kenny G at his rhythmic best.

Great Sophmore Album!.......2004-06-16

Kenny turns from ex-leader Jeff Lorber as producer to early
80's electrofunk maestro Kashif and turns in a fine collection of
bouncy funky R&B sax tunes,all with a great rhythm and some great
vocals.Kenny G's solo' here evoke a soulful,late night mood and have a definate hipness that none of his future music would come
close to replicating.The grooving title song,the fine gospel-
inflected vocals on "Hi,How Are you Doing?" and a kinetic
cover of Kashif's own "Help Yourself To My Love" are sure-fire
highlites.A warning:as with all of Kenny's first 3 albums lovers
of his post-'Duotones' album's won't find anything of interest
here for them.These are soulful,funky and often exciting R&B
songs that no,don't hold much jazz interests,but are at least a
promising start to something that shouldn't have gone that way that it did!

I second MCB's sentiments..........2004-02-25

He summed it up completely. This CD is far more diverse and entertaining than any of KG's ensuing releases. I stopped buying his music when I realized that the funky edge was replaced with commercialism. Interestingly, the radio station KUTE 102 in L.A. went off the air shortly after this G Force release. Its successor, KTWV - "The Wave", came on...

KUTE introduced me to MANY up-tempo smooth jazz artists including KG. Sadly, KTWV, with its slow, boring, background music (including KG's subsequent releases), compelled me to find a different "favorite" radio station and format (89.9 KCRW's "Metropolis" with Jason Bentley).

Writer/director Robert Altman's predilection for complex character studies has focused a jaundiced eye on everything from Nashville to the fashion industry. Here the director explores the interactions of a contemporary ballet troupe, set to a diverse pop/classical score that's anything but predictable. The dominant theme that runs throughout is the American songbook staple "My Funny Valentine," given four distinctly different idiomatic turns here by Elvis Costello, Chet Baker, the Kronos Quartet, and the piano/cello duet of Marvin Laird and Clay Ruede. The remaining source tracks range from the expected classical roots (Bach and Saint-Saens) to Twin Peaks vocal icon Julee Cruise and the world music of Light Rain, but it's left to veteran songwriter/composer/arranger Van Dyke Parks to weave those disparate influences together in his orchestral score, a task the included excerpts argue he's accomplished with typical wit and considerable charm. --Jerry McCulley

Good CD.......2007-01-09

If you have seen the movie, this CD includes all the songs from all the dances in the movie. I'm a dance teacher, and this CD has been used in my classes many, many times.

Could have been great.......2005-02-14

This CD follows the all-to-common practice of presenting a dozen of the "most marketable" pieces, leaving off the more unique music. Where is the great electronic composition from the beginning, the wonderful practice piano music, and the other instrumental selections? A complete soundtrack, given courage and dedication by the CD producers, would be more unique, engrossing, and worth owning than this selection.

where is the electronic song.......2004-11-04

The sound track is great... but where is the song at the beggining of the movie? That strange electronic song? If anyone knows who did that song please email me! Thomasology@yahoo.com

"My Funny Valentine takes center stage ~ Rodgers & Hart".......2004-03-03

From director Robert Altman we have the ultimate ballet film "The Company", featuring Nerve Campbell, Malcolm McDowell, James Franco, Barbara Robertson, William Dick and actual members of Joffrey Ballet. Very effective camera work captures the poise and brilliance of the ensemble during their key ballet performances.

One of my all time favorite songs by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart "MY FUNNY VALENTINE", is presented in four different performances ~ in this order we have Elvis Costello, Chet Baker (a classic interpretation by a very talented young artist at the peak of his career), Marvin Laird (piano) and Clay Ruede (cello), Kronos Quartet ~ brings to the fold popular and classical performers ~ each approaching this standard cue with all melodic magic they can muster.

Stand outs in my book is "CURTAIN CALLS" and "BLUE SNAKE & ZEBRAS", both composed by Van Dyke Parks with extraordinary orchestration and counter parts ~ "THE WORLD SPINS", from composers Angelo Badalmenti and David K. Lynch, performed by Julee Cruise is intoxicating and thrlling, with no hangover ~ let's mention "MENUETT" (J.S. Bach) and "APPALACHIA WALTZ" (Mark O'Connor), performed by the one and only renown cello player who is recognized world wide, Yo-Yo Ma ~ "RABEKIN" (Russ Guthier), wonderful cue that rings so true for the film, a meaningful fantasy instrumental, blending Middle Eastern rhythms from world fusion group, Light Rain...gotta love it!

Stately and subdued, Mozart Variations joins The Impressionists and Bach Variations as interpretive projects involving Windham Hill artists and a gathering of guest performers. The disc's overall mood is largely reverential, though its periodic departures from tradition are surprisingly successful. Mike Marshall's mandolin-driven "Allegro from the Serenade #13 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusic'" is a dignified charmer, and William Coulter's Celtic embellishments give "Theme from Symphony #40" a lively, unexpected spin. John Lee Sanders engineers perhaps the album's biggest left turn by applying a restrained soprano saxophone to "Et In Carnatus Est (from Mass in C Minor)." Arrangements that most effectively intertwine classical and contemporary influences: a lovely rendering of "Menuett #6" by pianist Liz Story and Paul McCandless's adaptation of "Motet 'Ave Verum Corpus'" for wind instruments and acoustic guitar. --Terry Wood

Peaceful and calming for parents and children.......2001-03-15

We picked this up after sampling several of the cuts here at Amazon. We were interested in a way to introduce our 1+/- year old to classical music and add to our drive and naptime repertoire. We couldn't be happier with this CD. The variations reflect the enormous talent and creativity of those arranging and performing on the CD and underscore how timeless music can be! If you like Classical, Jazz, NewAge or Eclectic, this will fit well in your collection!

Very Moving For the Soul Touches the heart.......2000-07-24

I recommend This Album for everybody

Breathtakingly Beautiful, but not for the musical snob..........2000-05-13

Mark my words. This is one of the most beautiful recordings I have ever heard. This is NOT new age, so don't let the label fool you. These are thoughtful variations of some of the most recognized Mozart pieces performed by some of the best contemporary musicians on earth. Most are virtually unrecognizable except for the famously faithful themes running throughout. Lots of historic Windham Hill stable musicians are represented here, along with some hugely talented "guest" artists. The Turtle Island String Quartet, Liz Story, Mike Marshall, Paul McCandless and Michael Manring bring their usual excitement to everything they play, but my favorite piece has to be "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" by the L.A. Guitar Quartet. If their interpretation of this early Mozart doodle fails to draw an eye mist or a lung gasp, then you must be dead! This is too good to languish at the bottom of the Amazon pit. Buy this and live a little.

Fine reissue of a classic set.......2006-05-24

Think about the stupidest, most formulaic Hollywood movies you can think of: cheesy action pictures, fluffy, unfunny comedies, big but stiff epics. Now imagine that one of the greatest living composers was working in Hollywood, turning out astonishing, hauntingly beautiful and stirring musical scores for these throwaway movies. That's what you get with this set: music Henry Purcell composed for some two dozen often utterly forgettable plays (trust me--I've read a number of them!) Occasionally, when he teams up with a playwright worthy of his stature, such as John Dryden, Aphra Behn, or William Congreve, the results are even better, but for the most part you can enjoy the music here without knowing anything about the original plays.

This set originally appeared as separate LPs in the 70s and 80s, and has been long out of print. That's a pity, since Purcell spent a good deal of his short professional life in the theatre, either writing the incidental music contained on these CDs, or the music for his larger works, the semi-operas (King Arthur, The Fairy Queen, and the like). Almost all of these works are enjoyable gems; certainly, they represent a pinnacle of English 17th century music. Purcell had a genius for spinning musical gold out of the most leaden lyrics (check out his Odes and Welcome Songs on Hyperion if you don't believe me), and he does the same with the song texts in these plays.

Hogwood and the AAM offer clean, listenable performances, and the sound on these old analog discs has been cleaned up and brightened--although they were pretty good, even in the late 70s. As with most Hogwood, emotional extremes are kept to a minimum, so the "otherworldly" nature of late 17th century music, so often emphasised in more recent Baroque performances, doesn't come across here. It would be interesting to see what a group like The King's Consort would do with this music, but this set fills the major gap in the Purcell canon quite nicely.

My only beef with the reissue, as with many reissues, is that the liner notes are rather thin for a 6-cd set--the lyrics to the songs, for example, are especially missed. Still, it's a worthwhile set, and a must for fans of Purcell, English Baroque music, or anyone who just wants to experience a taste of the last days of the Restoration stage.

My favorite GTO CD.......2005-11-29

I originally bought London and found it a little odd. Since it was on the Wax Trax label I assumed it was an industrial group. If I had to describe them, I guess I'd say they're like an industrial version of the Art of Noise. This CD is their most accessible music in my opinion. All the songs here have a good musical beat to them (which isn't the case for all of the songs on London). If you like Art of Noise and want to try something new, I'd give Greater Than One a listen. Start with this CD or the Utopia EP and go from there.

CLASSIC INDUSTRIAL GEM.......2003-07-11

I had only heard "Now is the time" (which isn't on this cd) before buying this one, so I was taking a chance....And I scored tuff! This is a great cd, especially if you like early WaxTrax stuff.
