3.0 out of 5 stars Great soundtracks, average quality, January 25, 2002

This review is from: Ginger & Fred at Rko (Audio CD)

Glad that these songs are available on a commercially-produced CD. That said, I was a bit disappointed that the sound source for these CDs is a print of the film, rather than the original source.

If you have video tapes of these pictures already, you already know what these CDs sound like. Grainy, dull, but thankfully (what I've heard so far) no sprockets torn or frames missing.

If you're hoping for a clean source recording of this material, this ain't it. But if you want all the musical bits from these films on one collection, then the price is right. Original source material or not, the songs and performances are fantastic.

The pairing of Astaire and Rogers can never be duplicated. The best we can do is to capture those moments in their films that can only be defined by this word--magic.

Ginger & Fred at RKO feature the songs and the moments from their films that secured them a place in movie history. These recordings are for fans, those who wish to carry with them little bits of that Astaire and Rogers magic wherever they go.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fred and Ginger fans take note..., July 12, 2000

This review is from: Ginger & Fred at Rko (Audio CD)

Fred and Ginger fans take note...Re-recording of music from their classic films has been released. If you are a fan of the period, this is a good cd for you. Through remastered, some songs still suffer a bit in translation. Personally, I'd rather just watch these scenes on video but if you are a diehard fan, you'll love such classics as "Let's Face The Music And Dance" and "They Can't Take That Away From Me"
