| Easy listening music! | 2009-09-20 | 5 / 5 |

| This CD is so relaxing and easy to listen to. I enjoy this music so much and play it over and over again. Nice to have as background music when I am at the sewing machine. |
| DRAMATIC AND WONDERFUL! | 2008-11-15 | 5 / 5 |

This excellent collection is for those who like their music to get to the good parts real fast! Right "off the bat" these short gems are giving you "the meat of things" - They are mini masterworks of piano and orchestral drama beautifully played by Philip Fowke and the RTE' Concert Orchestra; 74 mins of "state of the art" recording by the great NAXOS company (which also means that it is very reasonably priced).
This collection's loaded (Bernard Herrmann, Rosza, Rota, Addinsell & more) with brilliant composers at their most brilliant - It could be called concertos for those with short attention spans, the longest being just short of twelve mins. - "Concerto Macabre" by Herrmann for HANGOVER SQUARE (1945) was written for the film itself - other compositions were written after the film and score were completed (taken from the main themes) "Spellbound Concerto" by Miklos Rozsa from SPELLBOUND was possibly written to fit onto a 78 RPM record (thus the short length).
I've enjoyed this collection so much, and it's at such a reasonable price, that I've been able to send several off to friends - It's that kind of music, you want to share it.

| THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FILM PIANO MUSIC | 2007-04-11 | 5 / 5 |
|
| MOST OF THE FILMS FOR WHICH THESE PIANO PIECES WERE WRITTEN ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE, SO WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE THIS WONDERFUL RECORDING. FORGET ABOUT MORE EXPENSIVE VERSIONS. THIS IS THE BEST INTERPRETATION OF THE WARSAW CONCERTO ON THE MARKET! |

| The version of the toon was not what I expected. I wanted more the "popular" version. |
| Classic Movie Pieces | 2003-10-04 | 5 / 5 |
|
| I am a pinaist, and several of thses pieces find themselve in my repertoire, and by hearing them on this cd, one is able to truly appreciate the composition and performance of these songs, which are not very popular nowadays. A great collection that I highly recommend to all musicians and music lovers. |
