If you are looking for just one solid collection of memorable movie themes, this is it. Other CDs mix marches and fanfares with quieter tracks, which makes for a jarring listening experience at times. This CD, however, has a consistent feel all the way through. Melodic, calming, and, best of all, interesting. These movie tracks weren't selected simply for their sound, but also because they are GOOD. You get the best of the best: James Horner, Alan Silvestri, Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Ennio Morricone, and Randy Edelman.

This is the absolute best CD they ever put together! And that is saying a lot as we are very picky about what music we like. This is the kind of music that makes you 'feel' deeply. It encourages you to dream big and love living! Forget the grooves, drums and bangs and listen to something incredibly beatiful! You won't be sorry for the money invested in this one bit of sanity in such a hectic world.

Kunzel & The Cincinnati Pops do a great job everytime, and this is no exception. I'm telling you, if you ever thought that purely intrumental/orchestral was unattractive, this will change your mind. Never a disappointment!

This CD is absolutely one of the best of Eric Kunzel! I have a passion for movie scores/soundtracks and i must say he did a really good job on this. Listen to this and close your eyes and you'll find yourself immersed in the movies from which the music was taken from. I had my friends listen to this and they all got copy or will get a copy. If you're into this kind of music, believe me you'll keep on playing it, again and again.

For any music lover who appreciates Film Composition, Beautiful Hollywood is a must have for your collection. The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra under the direction of Erich Kunzel displays their usual high caliber performance in this review of favorite movie themes. This orchestra is world renowned, and has spawned many great conductors over the years. Don't miss this one!

If you enjoy the works of Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops or compilations from motion picture soundtrack scores, then you'll enjoy this release also. Once again, Conductor Kunzel, along with the grand Pops orchestra, have provided the listener with some beautiful arrangements. This is one of 14 in my collection of Kunzel CDs and it rates right up there will all of the others. It's simply great theme music to enjoy at home, in the car, at the office, or just about anywhere.

This is one of my very favorite CDs and one of the few that I can play through from beginning to end enjoying every track. Although I own most of the soundtracks from which these songs were taken, Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops do a great job of improving what was great to begin with. I've bought about 35 of these to give to friends!

If you love that music from all those movies you've seen, then this is the CD you want! It is fantastic!! I want more!! I hope Erich Kunzel will come out with some music from older movies and maybe some TV programs. Listening to his music is better than watching the movie.

A really beautiful collection that is perfect for ending the day with. Lovely songs that are easy to listen to and help create a peaceful state of mind.

It is exactly what it is - beautiful music from movies. Be aware that it comes in an envelope with no box, if that matters to you.
