5 out of 5 stars Satisfies my purpose.......2007-05-28

When I go on vacation, I take *many* digital pictures. I then fuss with them in Photoshop, put them into a presentation with music, and put the whole thing onto DVD. It's a great way to relive the vacation. We went to Disney World for Halloween in 2006, and I needed music to go along with the eventual presentation. I was first drawn to Disney Spectacular because I have found all of the music produced by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops to be superior and very entertaining. I am not finished with the presentation as yet, but so far I have used "When You Wish Upon A Star," "It's a Small World," "Baroque Hoedown," and part of "Disney Fantasy Medley." Listening to Disney Spectacular affords an adult appreciation for the Disney experience.

5 out of 5 stars This Grammy nominated recording is awesome.......2006-05-12

I have owned this recording since 1990, and I have not grown tired of it yet. The production values of this CS are amazing, the balance between the pops and the chorus is truly remarkable. If you love Disney...you will love this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Great Disney classics.......2000-09-17

Simply stated, if you enjoy Disney tunes, you'll love this CD. There are tracks offered on this release that have been extremely hard to get on any other disc -- even from Disney themselves. And even though these aren't the exact arrangements as the original Disney tunes, they are expertly done by the Pops. There are some great pieces to sing along with or if your lips feel like puckering out a whistle -- go for it -- it's great stuff!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Disney-CD.......2000-08-25

This is the first of three CD's of Erich Kunzel who plays DisneyMusic.

Excellent orchestration, excellent chorus, ...

It's just 'Simply the Best' - even Disney used it:

'When You Wish Upon a Star' was used for the 'Christmas Ceremony' in Disneyland Paris.

5 out of 5 stars For young and old - another Kunzel, Telarc, Disney triumph.......2000-06-27

Content: tops for younger kids or even adults who want to remember those years. Music: Hey, it's Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops! Sound quality: Audiophile proven. Clean. Plays well at home, work, in the car, portable player. It's a must-have for any Disney/Kunzel-Pops lover.

The entire disc is superb and who knew Doc could play like this? Wow! And of course, being an Ohio native, the fact that it's the Cincinnati Orchestra is just a bonus.

5 out of 5 stars Trumpet Spectacular.......2006-03-22

A great selection of music. Severson's performance is outstanding. Sound reproduction is exceptionally good. If you enjoy trumpet you should have this CD

5 out of 5 stars The Best of Both.......2005-12-24

This album really lets Severinson shine. I always felt he was underchallenged on the Tonight Show. And Kunzel is at his best here, too. If you like Doc and Erik, also give a listen to Big Band Hit Parade.

3 out of 5 stars Amazing technic, but poor tone........2005-12-01

I listened to this cd and the technic is truly amazing. This guy is really good-BUT-he has that nasty jazz tone that doesn't do well in classical music. Especially disturbing is the Bach-Busoni Chaconne. Listen to the piano performance by Evgeny Kissin and you'll know what I mean. Good for motivation for brass students, but if you want some really good, sweet classical, go somewhere else.

5 out of 5 stars Doc at his best!!.......2005-11-26

Of course, we all knew and loved Doc Severerinsen as the top shelf band leader fronting the top-shelf Tonight Show Band when Johnny was at the helm. But this collection shows Doc as he really is.....not "just" a top lead trumpet man, but indeed, a top trumpet player. He appproaches ALL music with a seriousness and respect that only a true musician can bring to a composition, no matter WHAT the genre. All great instrumentalists will tell you that the goal is to sound as much like the human voice as possible. As Doc approaches the Puccini suite, you understand what they mean. His technique is beyond category, able to deliver nuance and expression as any instrumentalist (and vocalist!) would ever hope to. This is a must for any music lover, and for any student of the trumpet.....time to go to school! And bring a lunch!

3 out of 5 stars Technically Excellent, but Uninspiring.......2006-08-22

Hurford is clearly a very capable technical organist. His nimble feet and fingers do an excellent job with fast passages. Musically, however, most of the pieces felt uninspired and I was a bit disappointed.

4 out of 5 stars Hurford plays organ "pops" pieces.......2006-06-02

On this particular album, organist peter hurford shows off what the organ can do with a pair of nimble hands (and feet). The recording herein contains all of the more familiar "pops" pieces(i.e., you would expect to hear one of these pieces played on nearly every organ recital), and also a rarity or two. The reason I initially purchased this recording was because of the complete Suite Gothique (the only recording available?). Besides the famous toccata, this suite contains some wonderful momemts, such as the sirene priere to the jolly yet sometimes macabre-sounding minuet gothique. The Widor Allegro from Symphonie VI is OK (I still recommend David M. Patrick's album over all others) and the mendelssohn is a nice finishing touch (use this to show off your stereo!) All in all, another well done recording by the scholarly virtuoso Hurford, pleasingly light yet sonically thrilling.

5 out of 5 stars Exellent organ playing!.......2001-11-21

"Organ Spectacular" is truly spectacular. Peter Hurford has combined the finest organ pieces along with absolutely superb playing. All of the pieces are as if the composer himself is playing them. This recording is very rewarding and worth every penny.

4 out of 5 stars GREAT FOR NEW CONVERTS TO ORGAN MUSIC!.......2001-01-14

This CD got me started as an organ lover years ago. Something for everyone here, this recording covers the biggest hits of the organ rather well. Frank's Chorale No. 3 will impress you with the sheer range and power of the organ, and is very moving. And be sure to listen to the Wedding March as it was meant to be played and heard! A great compilation. Enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars Excellent.......1999-01-20

Hurford delivers an exciting compilation of these high-powered organ favorites. For people who love the organ for its ability to rattle the fillings in your teeth, this album is a must! If you are looking for soft, mellow, soothing music, well...you're going to have your fillings rattled. His rendition of Widor's allegro from the sixth symphony is the best piece on the album, but I found the tocotta from the fifth to be rather bland. The Boellmann suite gothique (why I bought the album) is also great. Overall, money well spent

I did not know all the tunes when I have ordered this CD and after listening, there are still some tunes that I do not know. However, the quality of recording is excellent, the choice of tunes is interesting and the orchestration is good. So, if you know these tunes and if you like them, you may buy this CD; it is not a bad one. It is not the one that I prefer because it is a question of personal choice but it is at least a good one.

This CD was purchesed in order for me to make a Musical Freestyle, which is a dressage ride (horse sport) set to music. I not only made a Freestyle the judges loved, but I also found a new favorite CD. This CD presents a beautiful collage of Celtic music. Every single song is wonderful, from the haunting "Countess Cathleen" to the perky, upbeat "Steps from the Highlands." Buy this CD, you will not be dissapointed. It is perfect for Celtic lovers, and people who have never heard this type of music before!! Well worth the money!!

    5 out of 5 stars Spectacular Mantovani Music.......2004-09-20

    This is one of Vocalion's latest re-issues of two original recordings made by Mantovani and his Orchestra in 1960. It pairs the folk songs of the "American Scene" composed by Stephen Foster and others, along with concert gems, all brilliantly arranged by Mantovani and his collaborator Cecil Milner. Stephen Foster's time-honored music appears to be having a comeback these days and so will the utterly appealing orchestral interpretations given to these chestnuts by the masterful brilliance of the Mantovani sound and the artistry and discipline of his musicians. Some 45 years ago, Mantovani's American Scene LP remained 30 weeks on Billboard's Top 40 List and rose to a high position of number 11. Listeners now, as then, will enjoy the melifluous string-laden arrangements of Beautiful Dreamer, I Dream of Jeannie, My Old Kentucky Home, Grandfather's Clock, and Goodnight Irene, and they will tap to the lively, full orchestra arrangements of Camptown Races, Ring de Banjo, and Turkey in the Straw. Decca's "Concert Spectacular" CD, never issued and rarely heard in the United States, teases the listener with a distinctive waltz time arrangement of the popular Sousa march, Stars and Stripes Forever. Many will shed a tear when they hear the cathedral sound of languorous strings and woodwinds in Danny Boy. This Concert Spectacular offers the listener a plethora of musical imagery. With extraordinary and unique orchestrations, one will feel the fiery excitement of "Granada", sense the clash of thunder and lightning in Strauss's Polka, and march step and "fall" with the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers. These two CD's together are truly spectacular, because their tracks are filled with the emotion and energy of the creative and distinctive Mantovani sound. This is "ultimate Mantovani", soothingly wistful moods and evocative melodies that make you want to listen to them with all the attentiveness of a concert goer, a paradigm for all today making light orchestral music of which Mantovani was truly the master.

    3 out of 5 stars a rich embarassment.......2007-05-14

    sometimes a collection doesn't do right by its parts. and even though this collection is made up of selections from the arguably finest cd collection of classic film music, this doesn't whet the appetite or heighten curiosity.

    it does feature a couple of selctions that are difficult to find, such as 'dance of the seven veils' from 'salome'. but other than that, a real afficionado might be better off collecting each of the discs this wonderful music comes from and giving this as a stocking stuffer.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent compilation.......2007-05-10

    Another CD compilation of movie themes, made by the late conductor Charles Gerhardt, and THE NATIONAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA. In Dolby Surround

    5 out of 5 stars Sheila!.......2007-02-11

    100% grand, this is my description of this cd. I enjoyed every selection. The studio fanfares are outstanding. Selznick International's theme has a light air of sophistication. MGM's theme makes you stand tall with pride. I have heard this particular version on many of the older MGM movies. Universal's theme makes you think that a champion of some sort is on the way. Warner Brothers is like a forceful tide that mellows down with calmness. Twentieth Century Fox strikes up the band. Those composers of days gone by were brilliant men. The tunes on this cd are most certainly in the same category as classical music. Alfred Newman, Max Steiner,and all of the studio conductors were major parts of the Hollywood movie production scence. The Caine Mutiny is an all star movie. The theme song is one of favorite. I am happy to have this cd. I love classical music. Most of the selections in this collection can be considered classical music.

    4 out of 5 stars A Musical history of the American Cinema.......2002-08-12

    As the earlier reviewer stated, the sound quality on this disc is not of highest caliber; however, for anyone that is interested in music from Hollywood's "Golden Age", then this is the one. Legendary film composers Waxman, Newman, Korngold, Rozsa, Tiomkin, and "Johnny-come-lately" John Williams are well represented here with some of their most memorable movie accompaniments.

    Featuring the familiar opening fanfares of five of the major studios of the period, the disc offers music from most filmed genres, with the exception of the western and a comedy.

    Two exceptional "finds" for movie fans come at the end of the album. They are the 10:33 suite from "The Thing (from Another World") and "The Dance of the Seven Veils"(5:02) from "Salome". Both are rarely heard, outside of the occasional television viewings and a treat for the ears.

    Both illustrate the diversity of scoring from the fifties, the decade of the respective films' releases.

    3 out of 5 stars A nice mix.......2000-08-28

    This CD has a nice mix of classic film scores. The sound quality is not as high as other compilations in this genre. However, many of the selections on the CD are hard to find, so it's well worth the low low price.
