Opera at the Movies

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
As a medium of emotional intensity, film has in a sense become the opera of our time. After all, aficionados of silent movies know that their exaggerated acting style inherited a good deal from the traditions of the opera stage, while the soundtracks to films of our own time often incorporate music from the great operas for moments of special impact. This budget Naxos disc offers a highly enjoyable way for film buffs of all stripes to dip into the transporting world of opera. The booklet notes give the context for each of the familiar films in which these 17 selections occur (oddly, there is no listing of the performers anywhere on the album). As you recall your favorite scenes, the genius by which Mozart, Puccini, Wagner, Verdi--who admittedly gets short shrift with just the "Anvil Chorus" from Il Trovatore--and the other composers represented here create a mood may inspire you to take a closer look at their complete operas. A good place for the romantically inclined to start is La Boheme, which is sure to leave you even more moonstruck than the film. --Thomas May

RUSALKA (featured in the film "Driving Miss Daisy")
GIANNI SCHICCHI (featured in the 1986 film "A Room With A View")
SONGS OF THE AUVERGNE (melody introduced in Laurence Olivier's "Henry V")

          I lost my cassette copy of this a while ago, and I loved it so much that I had to buy it again...very enjoyable listening...

          4 out of 5 stars the diva.......2003-06-03

          Lesley Garrett has a really polished and honeyed voice, but her highs are terrible. She was breathtaking at opening of 'Una Voce Poco Fa'. She has a really simple and unaffected style of singing.She has an incredibly silken and clear voice.

          5 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good.......2001-02-20

          I bought this CD because of the catchy title and obviously great selection of material, expecting that the performances would probably be mediocre (Sarah Brightman is about what I was expecting) and unworthy of the word "Diva". I was very pleasantly surprised indeed; while noone will confuse Lesley Garrett for Leontyne Price, she is a legitimate opera singer with a very lovely voice and nice approachable style. Combined with the unsurpassed selection of all time great arias, excellent sound quality and very good orchestrations, this is a very satisfying disc.

          3 out of 5 stars Wonderful selections -- disappointing delivery........2000-08-10

          Certainly, Ms. Garrett's choice of material is excellent: some of the most exquisite and approachable soprano arias around. Unfortunately, while her performance may work for fans of popular singing style, it lacks the control and clarity that opera listeners expect.

          Worthwhile as an introduction to opera, but not for an afficionado.

          5 out of 5 stars One of the most exauisite aria cds I've ever heard!.......2000-02-16

          Absolutely incredible performances - The first 8 bands will make your heart stop! After hearing this, I immediately called my mother and sister and told them to stop what they were doing to rush out and buy this!

          3 out of 5 stars Great artists, good selection, live recordings.......2004-08-20

          I remember buying this record about ten years ago, or so, just after I'd seen the movie 'Philadelphia' for the first time, being gripped by the scene where Tom Hanks introduces Denzel Washington to Maria Callas singing 'La mama morta'. This disc features just that special performance of the aria. Callas also sings Puccini's 'O mio babbino caro' and Rossini's 'Una voce poco fa' to great effect here. Other singers include some of the last century's greatest singers; Jussi Bjorling, Renata Tebaldi, Luciano Pavarotti, Giuseppe di Stefano, Teresa Berganza, Mario del Monaco a.s.o. The repertoire spans from Mozart to early 20th century. As far as that's concerned, this is a good compilation. But, as far as I've been able to find out, most of the arias here are not sung by the same singers as they were in the respective movies, i.e. if you heard Pavarotti in the movie, it may well be di Stefano singing the same aria here. What's a little more troublesome is the sound quality. All tracks are taken from live recordings, and only a few of them are really good in sound, for example 'che gelida manina' with Pavarotti. Most of the tracks are OK, no more, and in the bottom end is Berganza's 'Voi che sapete' and unfortunately, both Tebaldi's arias. Both di Stefano's and del Monaco's arias are stunningly performed, but also marred by disturbing sound at times.

          Therefor this compilation must be considered good for opera lovers who like liveperformances, they certainly add to the drama, and/or any of the special artists featured - most of the singing is fantastic. However, for someone coming from the movies wanting a special aria or so, I would recommend buying a 'ordinary' opera compilation in stead. Definately so if you're a newcomer to opera.

          4 out of 5 stars Hollywood's ode to the classics.......2007-03-26

          Few Americans go out of the way to listen to classical music, yet Americans love movies, and many of the best American movies used classical music for their soundtracks. This CD takes some of the most famous scores from some of the most famous movies, and puts them together onto one very long album. The pieces span the Classical, Baroque, Romance, and Modern eras of classical music, with pieces such as Pachelbel Canon, Bolero and Beethoven's 9th symphony. The movies include dramas (Amadeus), romance (10), action (Die Hard), sci-fi (2001) and comedy (A Midsummer night's sex comedy). All in all, a good disc.

          4 out of 5 stars An excellent collection of classical greats.......2005-04-08

          For anyone who is looking for simply a wide variety of classical hits on one CD, I highly recommend CLASSICS AT THE MOVIES. Highlighted on this CD are such compositions as "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY); Pachelbel's "Canon in D" (ORDINARY PEOPLE); "Serenade No. 13" (AMADEUS); Paganini's "Rhapsody" (SOMEWHERE IN TIME); and "Boléro" (10).

          When I first bought the CD, I hadn't seen more than half of the films mentioned on it. But I have no doubt they are heavily complimented by including this kind of classical music in their scores. (I wish more films had this.)

          Unfortunately, when you have a CD with this kind of title and tracks which are labeled with certain films containing the respective pieces of music, the buyer is automatically under the impression that it will be the exact same music featured in the film he or she saw. For instance, when I first purchased this CD, I did so (having virtually no knowledge of classical music at the time) under the impression that the track labeled "Die Hard" would contain the classical music featured in the movie DIE HARD. Well, not exactly. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is rather long, and the piece I was looking for (and the piece used in DIE HARD) was "Ode to Joy". Well, "Ode to Joy" is not on this CD at all. Instead, it's a piece from Beethoven's 9th which was not even featured in the movie DIE HARD. If you're looking for "Ode to Joy" or, better yet, the entire Ninth Symphony, I highly recommend the CD MAD ABOUT BEETHOVEN.

          A similar thing occurs with track #12: "O Fortuna!" (GLORY). The piece on the CD is the most common version--actually, the official version. This piece had a slightly different arrangement when James Horner used it in the Civil War epic. Anyone who purchases this CD because they enjoyed the version they heard in the movie will be disappointed if they purchase this CD. Instead, they ought to simply purchase the soundtrack to the movie GLORY.

          Overall, this is a great classical CD. All of the music on here is both relaxing and enjoyable.

          5 out of 5 stars Classics at the Movies a Big Hit!.......1999-11-25

          As a classics fan of many years, I thought my wife's purchase of this CD may have been a waste. Now I'm buying a copy as a Christmas gift. The classical works picked by movie directors can be marvelous. When I saw "Platoon", the music just after an all-night battle haunted me for years. Then I found it on this CD. Anyone who appreciates the "Platoon" music should hear the Adagio for Strings on this CD.
