5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music, September 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: He Got Game: The Music of Aaron Copland (Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
The Music of Aaron Copleand is timeless and purely Amerian. Thus, it is the best choice to be in a movie about basketball, one of America's favorite sports. This collection of Aaron Copland's music introduced me to this great composer and is a perfect start for new classical listeners. SUperb.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stellar Copland Set, With "Grover's Corners", October 2, 2010
This review is from: He Got Game: The Music of Aaron Copland (Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
Spike Lee does everyone a favor by releasing this excellent selection of Copland's best music. It doesn't serve as a substitute for the full works-- best to track those down in fuller collections-- but it's a judicious choice that hits all the high spots. Especially welcome is a lovely version of the hard-to-find (for some reason) "Grover's Corners," called "Grover's Corner" here. You hear it just about every year during the Oscar telecast when they show the actors who've died. It's a hauntingly simple and dignified elegy that's perfect in every way, and it's on this disc. For that reason alone, it's worth purchasing.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The PERFECT Odd Couple"!, December 6, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: He Got Game: The Music of Aaron Copland (Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
I remember originally watching this film back in 1998 at the Cheltenham movie theater, just outside Philly. I would have never imagined that the original score, was created by a gentleman (Aaron Copland), decades earlier. I've always have and continue to be a huge Spike Lee fan. The soundtrack (songs) = Public Enemy and the soudtrack (music) = Aaaron Copland is definitely "The PERFECT Odd Couple"! An African American hip hop group, combined with a renowned Jewish composer is magical and "AMERICAN"..."Thanks Spike".
