Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars One of my best soundtracks...ever.......2007-03-30

Newman's music is both rousing and plaintive. "One More Day" is worth the price of admission alone. Quite simply, beautiful.

5 out of 5 stars Rating.......2007-03-08

Since this stuff is sold out in Europe, it was good to find it at your place. Shipment etc. was all OK and meanwhile we enjoy the music.
Thanks a lot.

5 out of 5 stars Ragtime (1981 Film Soundtrack).......2007-02-20

Beautiful music. It sets a mood throughout that is rather sad no matter what the words say.

5 out of 5 stars A beautiful achievement .......2006-02-25

The excelent Milos Forman timepiece on the 20's based on the Doctorow novel has a marvelous musical translation in this soundtrack close to perfection. It gets the time and mood of the movie, and reflects its main dramatic moments. I would dare to say that this soundtrack is one of the finest coming out from a movie of the 80's. Besides, it sounds great in this digitally remastered version. Do not hesitate to get it. It's a real beauty.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant........2005-12-28

I first came across this soundtrack when looking for Donald O'Connor songs - I'm a big fan of his, and I'm trying to track down all the songs he's ever recorded. It just so happens he has one of the most delightful songs on this soundtrack, "I could love a Million Girls". Apparently it's from a Disney film called Summer Magic, but I don't think Disney would approve of how dirty this song is if you think about it! Donald O'Connor was around 55 or so when he recorded this song, so his voice isn't as great as it was once, but he still does a fantastic job.

Now, onto the other songs. "Ragtime" (the song listed on the soundtrack) is hauntingly beautiful - it really captures the feeling and mood of the time, and puts you right back there. Same with most of the other "score" tracks. This is definately one of the best scores out there, and it's a pity it didn't do better. I guess it's almost ahead of it's time a little, considering this was the time period that gave us films like The Blues Brothers and other such early SNL comedies which didn't require scores like Ragtime needed. It really should've done better, but for now enjoy the soundtrack because I doubt you'll get another release of it!

4 out of 5 stars Choo Choo Music.......2007-06-05

I ordered this CD for my three year old son after seeing how much he loved the I Love Toy Trains DVD's. I Love Toy Trains DVD Parts (1-3) He was so excited when I gave it to him, and he wanted to listen to it right away. He loves to listen to it when we are in the car. Track number one has a great train bell sound effect that he loves, and "Choo Choo Blues" is one that he loves to sing along to. I plan to look into more James Coffey music for my son.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect for kids that love choo-choo trains!!!.......2006-08-22

I bought this CD to play as background music at my son's train themed birthday party. All of the kids loved the music and we had a wide age range. I highly recommend this CD for kids whether they have a love of trains or not. Very fun car riding tunes!

5 out of 5 stars Turn up the volume!.......2000-11-14

I have two kids (a boy and a girl ages 3 1/2 and 2) who love this music. My son tells me to stop talking and turn up the volume when we listen. They love to get their instruments out and play along. James Coffey writes the music for a train video series produced by Tom McComas (....) that parents will want to check out. My kids prefer these videos over the Thomas series and I think the music is the reason.

5 out of 5 stars Right On Track!.......2000-02-23

My kids got this as a gift from friends in the U.S. and it is a hit both at home and amongst my kids' friends who keep borrowing it (much to my kids' dismay since they listen to it almost non-stop). The English speakers love the lyrics and the non-English speakers love the music! It is a favorite in our house...we love it all!

5 out of 5 stars My son and daughter love this CD! There is a video too!.......1999-11-24

Both of my children (boy 4 1/2, girl 1 1/2) love this music about trains - especially the dinosaur song. The CD has stood the test of time at our house. We first borrowed it from the library, and my son was constantly asking to get it again. After several renewals, I finally broke down and bought it. There is also a video called "I Love Toy Trains, Part 4" which is set to this entire collection. Both have been big hits at our house for over a year.

          This is a razzle-dazzle selection of American music culled from a few of Sir Simon Rattle's previously released recordings. Two excerpts from Porgy and Bess--"Summertime" and "It ain't necessarily so"--come near the CD's close, and they're reminders of what a great composer Gershwin was. Earlier, his Rhapsody in Blue is played in the orchestration by Grofé, and while it makes a good option, the more familiar version is preferable. Leonard Bernstein's Prelude, Fugue and Riffs is not an easy, tuneful work, but it's fascinating and another side of a composer you may only be familiar with from West Side Story. "Take the A Train" really swings, and "Makin' Whoopee" is a joy. In fact, there's plenty here to revel in. It's a great sampler of American "classical" music. If you've either kept away from 20th-century or American music or simply were unfamiliar with it (or both), this will be a fine ear-opener. If you already appreciate the idiom, this offers a really fine cross-section. --Robert Levine
