4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting and Gratifying Volume 1, August 21, 2005

This review is from: Hollywood's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops' interpretation of film scores on this first tribute to Hollywood is somewhat a mixed bag. A SUMMER PLACE was beautifully executed and true to the nature of this sensitive film that was made during a time of innocence. The BEN HUR, CAPTAIN BLOOD and OUT OF AFRICA selections were good. The interpretation of GOLDFINGER was a rather bizarre and blatantly bombastic exercise in overkill. This is a good CD for me because of the A SUMMER PLACE selection.

This CD has a great array of famous movie themes from the twenties to the eighties, and most of them are unforgettable.

The sound is excellent since it is DDD. If you are looking for classic Hollywood themes look no further and order this CD.
