Absolutely Awesome Movie Music!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 100 Greatest Film Themes (MP3 Download)
This is the best movie music cd currently available with regard to music associated with films. The Prague Philharmonic is simply superb! This orchestra is tight - the music is so well played. Everything sounds right in this gigantic package of music.
I also own Eric Kunzel's Ultimate Movie Collection (excellent). I like them both-but I play the Prague more. Kunzel and Telarc set the bar high as far as playing and recording excellence. In my humble opinion, The Prague Philharmonic meets and exceeds the bar regarding the orchestra's playing and the recording quality of the music. Just listen to Ghost (Unchained Melody)- drop to your kness gorgeous! I mean just stunningly beautiful. Dr. No takes you back to Sean Connery's film - the music is playful, tuneful - for better word: fun! The theme from Rocky - uplifing, glorious, again a great job by this orchestra. Another thing that sets this orchestra apart from any other group I've heard - the Jazz element that is present in some of the music. It is spot on. The music for Dr. No needs this and gets it right -listen to the distinctive bass line. It simply has to be there (it is). If you are a fan of music associated with films - This is the collection to own! Simply the best out there right now. Right now the download is simply a bargain-six cds of music for under $20.00 ($3.33 a cd). Buy it, play it, enjoy!

Ok for elevator music, I suppose. I love the actual film themes. The arrangements are mostly watered down and unsatisfying compared to the originals.

Of the tracks I'm familiar with, every one on here sounds great (though admittedly I'm basing this off of the samples). But from what I've heard of ther work, The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the best "cover bands" out there. Their versions of these themes sound great and pretty darn accurate to the originals.

This is definitely not something for anyone period. Does not do justice to any song in the album. I have deleted from my collection.
