4.0 out of 5 stars Philharmonic Madonna, June 17, 2006

Who knew that an orchestral interpretation of Madonna's hits could be this amusing? It was outright fun listening to these songs.

If only they made new arrangements to the songs and did not just stick too much to the original versions, that would have been the best!

This review is from: Material Girl: Rpo Plays Music of Madonna (Audio CD)

Ok, I admit....I'm one of those Madonna fans who wants everything to do with her, and this CD is no different. I can say, however, that I was pleasantly surprised by this album.

The RPO plays Madonna's music very well and I was all alone whilst listening to it, and I found myself singing along without noticing (and plus...there are no lyrics on here, so that's a testement at how close things are.)

So get the CD and throw a Madonna karaoke party, it'll be excellent!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to the RPO's standard, June 16, 1999

This review is from: Material Girl: Rpo Plays Music of Madonna (Audio CD)

I like many of Madonna's songs, and also the orchestral music, and I'm a fan of the RPO also. I bought this CD with hope to hear something better than those of tracks on the CD. For me, this time the RPO had poorly done its job.
