5.0 out of 5 stars Idyllic interlude from the masters of dramatic piano, May 7, 2000

The subtle, hypnotic talents of Ferrante and Teicher appeal to a relatively narrow and very discerning audience, but those who number themselves in this group will delight in this collection.

Obviously, the F&T original, Exodus, is the highlight of the disc, but their intuitive touch for dynamic piano-driven instrumentals is apparent throughout. From the romantic Moon River and Romeo and Juliet, the haunting Midnight Cowboy and Love Theme from the Godfather, to the powerful Taras Bulba and Khartoum, the selections on this disc will please the ear and excite the emotions.

Ferrante and Teicher are masters at turning background music into music that refuses to be ignored, and the selections on All-Time Great Movie Themes do just that. Light the fire, turn off the lights, and sit back and enjoy hours of relaxing, romantic instrumental masterpieces!

4.0 out of 5 stars MORE THAN "MOOD MUSIC FROM THE MOVIES - PIANO STYLE", September 23, 2005

Lady Gal Music "Joy" (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All-Time Great Movie Themes (Audio CD)

A long time ago I had the opportunity of being in the audience of a "F & T" concert at the "old" University of Wisconsin Madison Union Theatre. The accoustics were not the best and the pianos had to be retuned before the performance began yet everything about the night was grand for the audience. I purchased the double LP of this collection (or one similar) and I played it so often that it wore out. I thought that I would never find the CD. And on impulse I researched amazon.com -- and HERE IT IS. I have waited a long time to listen to these great movie themes once again...indeed the simplicity of songs like "The Apartment" and "Exodus" and "Days of Wine and Roses" just are not found anymore. These are more than romantic background music or dinner music. Listen to the tones and melodies which are carefully woven into a larger themes. Everyone of these songs can be identified (if you are old enough) with a certain place and certain time (a date, a concert, movies you talked about over and over again, a slice of time never repeated). For those of you who are younger but love the sound of piano and of the movies, try listening to these themes. No blasting jarring big acoustics here to distroy the ambience. Yes they don't write or play them like this anymore.

I certainly agree with Jay Kuzcma"s review of this wonderful CD! I used this CD as background music for a dinner party and before I realized it my guests were humming along...
