4.0 out of 5 stars Don't confuse 16 MRS with ENCORE 16 MRS, April 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 16 Most Requested Songs (Audio CD)

The original 16 MOST REQUESTED SONGS is a dreadful compilation and should be avoided.

Much more thought was put into the second volume titled ENCORE 16 MOST REQUESTED SONGS which provides a good overview of Conniff's best work.

Unfortunately, these comments appear under both versions which may explain the wide difference of opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harmony at its absolute best!!, August 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 16 Most Requested Songs: Encore (Audio CD)

I first "discovered" Ray Conniff and the Singers back in the '60s and I'm now rediscovering his music. This CD is one of the best of all his releases. Nothing beats the instrumental and vocal harmonies these people bring to the music scene. It's just a unique way to present some of the best tunes ever to come out of the universe of music composing.

While the selections in first version of "Sixteen Most Requested Songs" most definitely were NOT supportive of the title of the CD, this one is a huge improvement. It's a great compilation of songs that come pretty close to hitting the mark. Are these representative of those I would personally select? Not precisely, but it is quite close, with some of the "oldies," and some of those that the members of the Conniff Fan Club, and the RC Discussion Group have been clamoring for over several years. This is truly an excellent program.
