Amazon.com

Granddaddy of the Hollywood studios, Paramount Pictures is rightfully proud of its century of contributions to both American cinema and the art of film scoring. But the first disc of this 43-track double-CD anthology merely hints at the studio's musical peaks, blithely skipping through its first seven decades in just 17 tracks. Indeed, the package as a whole seems more interested in marketing its post-'70s catalog of hits and blockbusters than it does in paying real homage to history and roots. Even rarities like Double Indemnity and The Lost Weekend are served up via modern budget-line rerecordings, as is Ennio Morricone's epochal Once upon a Time in the West). Contemporary recordings of Aaron Copland's rare score to The Heiress and Franz Waxman's great Sunset Blvd. fare better, but soundtrack fans may miss the originals. The studio's rich pop-crossover successes in the '60s are documented via Breakfast at Tiffany's "Moon River" and excerpts from Romeo and Juliet and Love Story, while successful franchises like Star Trek and Raiders also get their due. Too often the '90s-focused second disc only underscores some uncomfortable trends in contemporary scoring--orchestral nervous tics punctuated by booming crescendos, treacly piano Muzak--and makes one wonder if the music of The Rugrats Movie and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider are really film music milestones. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Great Movies have Great Soundtracks!.......2007-05-10

If you love movies and movie music, you can't go wrong with this two cd Paramount Anniversary set.

2 out of 5 stars Only Disc 1 Is Worth Anything.......2006-07-19

Normally I have a lot to say in my reviews, but not this time. The main problem with this collection is that all the most memorable film scores are just on one disc, with the second used mostly to play out stuff from the last ten years that, really, musically isn't very memorable and only includes three pieces anyone will recognize just because, like the movies they come from, they're based on old TV shows - The Addams Family, Star Trek, and Mission: Impossible.

And that brings up another problem. With all due respect to the late Jerry Goldsmith, who has provided some truly great classic movie scores, was it REALLY necessary to include TWO versions of the SAME Star Trek march in this collection? This seems evocative of the milk-it-for-all-its-worth attitude Paramount has had lately toward its now-tarnished crown-jewel franchise. Where's James Horner's theme music from Star Trek II and III? If they're gonna put Star Trek on here twice, they should have provided a little diversity. It wouldn't have taken much, I'm sure.

I'm sure that Paramount's had other films with far more memorable music (even Harold Faltermeyer's Top Gun Anthem could have helped on Disc 2). This just seems like a lazy attempt at something that really could have been great.

2 out of 5 stars More of a propaganda CD.......2002-10-30

There are some really great songs on this 2 CD set. However, those really great songs seem to be lightly interspersed amongst a large number of forgettable songs whose main purpose seems to be to remind you of those movies you enjoy(ed) so much.

It seems a little odd to me that out of 90 years of film making the most memorable scores have been largely released within the last few years. I was pleased to find themes from the Godfather, Indiana Jones and Witness. I was perplexed with the inclusion of songs from Rugrats, both Mission Impossible movies (one would have been more than enough) and Tomb Raider (memorable???).

This is my own personal bias, but I do prefer movie soundtracks that evoke a feeling of excitement. With this collection I just couldn't get excited. I kept finding myself being let down by songs that didn't in some way complement the preceeding song.

There are certainly some great tracks here, but overall I was disappointed. My advise would be to look elsewhere.

4 out of 5 stars Great selection of Film Hits!.......2002-09-25

This one was a pleasant surprise! I thought- how could any CD that had "Baby Elephant Walk" be all that good? This one is. Lots of great scores- classics and a few hidden treasures. After hearing the beautiful title score for "Children of a Lesser God", I had to buy the entire soundtrack - very soothing. There are a few that may seem too overplayed ("Love Story", "Raiders of the Lost Ark",), but most are a welcome addition to any compilation. Try NOT loving "Building the Barn" from "Witness" or the "Hymn to the Fallen" from "Saving Private Ryan". Hours of great listening.

2 out of 5 stars Older recordings, main themes only.......2002-08-27

This is a great album concept, but I really wish Paramount had re-recorded these scores as they deserve to be heard. The tracks range from 1944 to the present, and the older recordings sound just like the cleaned-up older recordings that they are.

I would also personally have enjoyed more "secondary" music themes (otherwise it becomes like reading book summaries that always only quote the opening paragraph), and I could easily have done without the "pop" tunes (like Baby Elephant Walk and the Rugrats theme). In fact, it would have been very nice to listen to an album comprised of tracks chosen for their strong musical value rather than apparently for their box office and/or hit song popularity. But, to be fair, that may be precisely what draws some people to this CD set.

Film score music constitutes the single most significant body of classical music of our time. I hope some of these tracks will entice listeners to buy entire soundtracks and listen to some of these works as a whole.

After years of being one of the foremost singers of light lyrics, Kathleen Battle, searching for challenging new musical expression, tackles the dramatic Mozart repertory. Blessed with one of our generation's prettiest soubrette voices, Battle breezes through the technical challenges of the Countess and Constanze, but sounds like a little girl trying on Mommy's shoes. She lacks the vocal variety and depth to successfully bring these pieces to life. Her renditions of the soubrette repertory, especially "Ruhe sanft," are Mozartfully graceful. In the Magic Flute excerpts she demonstrates that merely singing Mozart's written notes is enough to bring its beauty to life; practically all necessary expression is written into the musical lines. -- Barbara Eisner Bayer

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The Best Battle Album........2007-02-10

I have most of Kathleen Battle's albums and must say this is my favorite. Her distinctive voice is crisp and sails effortlessly through the music, James Levine on the piano is fantastic and compliments her as if the two had been made for each other, the repitoire is expertly selected, and the recording is crystal clear. This is Battle in the prime of her career -- this is one of those albums you will find yourself coming back to.

5 out of 5 stars Ah, Kathleen!.......2006-03-04

I have been looking to reacquire this album for forever!! It's great, and I love Kathleen's voice here.

I have to say, though, that the Amazon.com editorial review must have been written for another album, for neither 'Ruhe Sanft' nor anything from 'Die Zauberflote' is on this disc.

=^_^=

5 out of 5 stars The greatest of recital albums, part 2.......2005-09-04

It's hard to simply repeat what someone else has written, but before I noticed the review above, I was going to say that this is the greatest vocal recital I've ever heard. It's a pleausre to be the second to voice that opinion.

Why is the editorial review about Mozart? Amazon nods.

5 out of 5 stars The Magnificent Kathleen Battle Has Done It Again!!.......2002-03-04

Go Kathleen! I often dream of what music will sound like behind the Pearly Gates of Heaven-my dreams are no more, I have found what I've been searching for. Just push play and then be prepared for your body and soul to leave this earth behind. Believe me new and established fans-she IS that good.

From the first to the last track "La Battle" captivates and stuns her audience into a cult-like stupor. Indulge in Purcell's "Music for a While". After listening to a 30 second clip, I knew I needed this CD. She slowly and sensually lulls you with her perfected pronunciation. Her performance is like rich imported chocolate melting in your mouth. On Mendelssohn's "Neue Liebe" "La Battle" does an about face and speeds things up a bit. This tounge-twisting, finger-snapping performance is outstanding. Only a great opera Diva can handle such difficult piece of work, but as well all know, Kathleen never disappoints!

Kathleen masters Mozart's " Ridente la calma, Das Veilchen and Un moto di gioia". She paints such wonders with her voice that Monet must be rolling around in his grave. ;)
The 4 Spiritual at the end deserves only the utmost Praise. "Honor, Honor, His Name So Sweet, and Witness and He's Got the Whole World in His Hand". Check out her fantastically flawless super-HIGH notes! These songs are reason enough to get this CD.

I will forever be a Battle fan because of this recital. Thank you for making the Opera world a better place. We LOVE you Kathleen!

5 out of 5 stars The greatest of recital albums!.......2002-01-16

Kathleen Battle In Concert has been a part of my classical listening experience for many, many years, and many, many repeated playings. Every time I play it, I feel real joy at hearing Kathleen Battle in the opening bars of Purcell's "Come All Ye Songsters."

Miss Battle brings a high level of musicality, an impeccable use of phrasing and some truly beatiful high notes to a wonderful mix of lighter art/love songs, and more serious, but very joyous gospel classics, as in her rendition of "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands."

It's been too many years since Kathleen Battle has recorded such a delightful recital album. If you're reading this Miss Battle, please please record another! We miss your voice greatly!!!

        5 out of 5 stars A Sentimental Journey: The Miraculous Leontyne Price.......2006-05-25

        Leontyne Price was born in Feb. 1927. Her professional career began in 1952. She was an international diva assoluta by 1962, the reigning Verdi soprano of her generation, retiring from Opera triumphantly in a televised METOPERA perf. of "Aida" - one of her greatest roles - in Jan. 1985. In Jan. 1991, the great American diva surprised the classical musical world with a stellar recital of operatic arias, lieder, chanson, twentieth century works, and spirituals at the renowned Carnegie Hall in NYC. The live recital was recorded in its entirety, and serves as a testament to the longevity and artistry of this beloved singer. It is true that, at age 64, Ms. Price's instrument is not in the same estate as it was in the previous 3 decades. It is also irrelevant in the context of this concert, and its inherent musical qualities. Nearly every selection on this programme has been a staple in Ms. Price's recital repertoire over the years, so that her "return" is not only to Carnegie, but also to the songs that audiences have come to identify with her as well. When beloved divas bid adieu to the great stages of their prior triumphs, audiences are usually expected to focus on the memories of said diva's greatness, and excuse the actual performance at hand. Not so with Leontyne Price. Very few apologies or allowances are required for this concert. The characteristic vocal idiosyncrasies that typified the post-70's Price performances (occasional swoops, exaggerated portimenti, a cloudy lower register) are all present here - and again, just as irrelevant as they were prior to this concert. Lets begin.

        Ms. Price programmed the music of Handel to open her recitals with rare exception throughout her career. "Se pieta" is given a heart-rending rendition, capturing the plaintiveness of this beautiful aria, tonally dark, but lyrically produced. The Mozart, sung less-idiomatically but with great verve, is well-paced and dramatically alive. The German musical selections (J.Marx and R.Strauss)reveal her fine ability to illuminate the texts, employing an impressive arsenal of dynamic shadings & other musical felicities. Strauss' "Befreit" is singular in Ms. Price's hands, combining elegant phrasing, rich, dark, opulent tone, with astonishing breath control that belies any years. This was a spiritual experience, and the audience responded with a well-deserved ovation. Verdi's "Pace, pace, mio Dio" and Leontyne Price have become synonymous over her 40+yr career. Here, she still sings with commitment and pathos, but phrasing is choppy, register breaks less-smooth, and cohesiveness is intermittent. Still, she's able to deliver a ringing Bflat to end the aria -minus any sign of wobble. Ms. Price has always been sublime when singing the French chanson, where her ability to float ethereal high notes is balanced by her highly-nuanced vocalism elsewhere. Her affinity for this music ( a lovely, youthful "Villanelle" from "Nuit D'ete" was a delectable touch of nostalgia) is evident throughout this set. It is regrettable that her onstage operatic career did not include more of the French repertory (Thais & Dialogues the exceptions). Ms. Price is renowned for her championing of American composers, and more importantly, showcasing their music to her SRO audiences in every one of her recitals. Samuel Barber, Ned Rorem, and Lee Hoiby have been the primary recipients of her vocal largesse over the years. On this evening, Ms. Price sings the music of Mr. Hoiby in a fashion that pleases the audience, but leaves this listener profoundly dissatisfied. Her voice is shorn of its natural beauty, and the voice turns slightly raucous as a result. Idiomatically, one isn't sure what style is being employed for these pieces. Nonetheless, these are obviously artisic choices - not dictated by any vocal deficiencies. Leontyne Price has referred to Negro Spirituals as "America's lieder", and unlike the swinging, wildly irreverent treatment she gives to "Ride On, King Jesus", she always sang with utter conviction and respect for their inherent dignity, and the legacy that spawned them. The miracle of a Leontyne Price recital is what follows the printed program: the ENCORES. On this night, Ms. Price provides the listener with no less than (9) nine selections that comprised some of Opera's most famous arias, spirituals, and a patriotic anthem as well. Arias from "Madama Butterfly" are sung with forthright conviction, and a tonal panapoly largely absent from singers far younger than Ms. Price. She includes the (4)four arias that have become virtual trademark Price encores from "Tosca", "Adrianna L.", La Rondine", and "Porgy & Bess". The latter is sung in a jocular manner that some might find a bit casual. The other three, however, display the fabulous, inimitable Price upper register of old, with its shimmer, spin, and freedom largely untouched by time. "Witness" is sung with a bluesy overlay, effective if not particularly suitable to this artist. "This Little Light of Mine", a favorite of the diva's mother Kate - and a great favorite of this reviewer when performed by this soprano- is sung with fervor and touching simplicity, a spun Bflat crowning it. Ms. Price has often referred to herself as an "American Troubador" (not to mention excelling in the Italian opera bearing that name), and here she ends her incredible "visit" with an a cappella rendition of "America the Beautiful", again topped by a long-held glorious Bflat.

        For thirty years Leontyne Price reigned as America's greatest international diva assoluta, and at age 64(!!!), she again demonstrates why. Treat to yourself to the palpable excitement and wonderful artistry generated by a beloved American Diva: Leontyne Price!

        5 out of 5 stars Late Summer Delights.......2005-05-11

        I agree with the reviewer who thinks Leontyne Price still sounds glorious on this recording.

        Somewhere in her fifties she seemed to settle into a prolonged Indian Summer that never really languished into an autumnal vocal decline. Not only could she wrap herself around an audience, she could wrap the considerable (and often stunningly beautiful) vocal resourses left her around any music she sang. Who in the history of recorded opera could boast a finer voice at age 64? Nobody.

        This voice was always in a class by itself--a national treasure, one of the glories of the age, the stuff of legend. A fraction of former glory from Leontyne Price is glorious singing still.

        4 out of 5 stars Stands the test of time.......2002-07-15

        The voice may not be the wonderful instrument the amazed the world. However the emotional intensity and the presence of the voice is timeless. At the age of 64 Leontyne still manages to manipulate our emotions with her wonderful interpretations. The range of her repertoire hear is envious from Handel to Mozart, Berlioz and of course Puccini and the wonder of the negro spiritual. Leontyne is the premier soprano of the 20th century.

        4 out of 5 stars Interpretive Genius.......2000-08-01

        This CD is a little difficult to review because Leontyne was past her prime by some 15 to 20 years, she was 64 at the time of the Carnegie Hall concert. For the first half of the concert her voice sounds...strange, obviously not the glorious sound of her earlier triumphs/recordings. But something amazing occurs in the course of the concert, she wraps her voice around the audience and builds piece upon piece until she blows the audience away! The exalted thunderous applause she receives was earned for THAT evening. Aside from her mature sound, her interpretations are nothing short of magnificent. With the lines from Handel's aria, Just Heaven, I Shall Die, she wafts up to an ethereal high on the word, ciel (heaven), and then drops down to a dark sad low at, io moriro (I shall die). In Villanelle of Berlioz, the song is about the lightness of spring with singing birds and a scattering rabbit, her voice takes on a light, quick, and flexible rhythmic style. With that contrasted with the hauntingly beautiful rendition of Strauss' Befriet, a song about a lover dying, she works her magic. With every song, she changes the character, changes her stylistic approach, but she keeps her view of the entire piece. Rachmaninov said that every piece should have its climatic point, and the interpreter should build up to that point and down from it. Leontyne does precisely that with these pieces. She gives us nine encores, NINE, and she glowingly nails them. Her America, The Beautiful, sung a cappella, is crystal clear in diction and expression, and it grows and climaxes at the most astounding sustained high note I have ever heard (a B-flat, I believe)!

        Her long time accompanist (some 35+ years), David Garvey, is assertively supportive. Though like I said earlier her voice sounds a bit odd, but for anyone interested in the interpretations of a great artist, this is a CD for your collection.

        5 out of 5 stars Leontyne is still in astounding voice here.......2000-07-07

        While I don't expect all to agree, I personally believe Price still sounds glorious here. I was at this concert and I know that the numerous standing ovations and the six encores were not simply a bunch of loyal fans saying goodbye to their idol, but a genuine response to an outstanding performance. I don't know about anyone else, but considering the generally sorry state of Verdi/Puccini singing these days, I'd gratefully take a 65+ year old Leontyne Price over 99% of the sopranos on the world's stages today (I can't tell you how many Nile scenes and Butterfly death scenes I've cringed through in the last few years having to suffer over soprano after soprano display insufficient breath control, choppy phrasing and botched high C's). Sopranos half her age would absolutely kill for the freedom above the staff and mastery of Italiante style she displays here. Is this the first Price CD one should own? No. There are collections of Strauss, Barber, Verdi, Mozart and Puccini to buy, "Porgy and Bess," the Prima Donna collection, the "Blue" album, the live "Trovatore," and studio "Aida," "La Forza," and "Butterfly"s (among others) to acquire. But, this farewell concert should also be part of any collection as well. There's some truly beautiful singing here and, Callas once told her, you can really hear the "love" in her voice, one of the greatest of the century.

        Hey, not a bad CD! I didn't expect too much, but I was a bit surprised. If you like Green Day, you'll like most of the stuff on here. And of course the Living End. That should be enough for you to get it right there.
