5.0 out of 5 stars Great Western Music, July 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Round-Up (Audio CD)

I bought Round Up as a tape. I play it on every long trip I take. Now the tape is starting to wear out due to being listened to so much. I figured that I had better buy the CD the next time. After being born and raised in Wyoming, I like to listen to this kind of music. Although I no longer live in Wyoming, the music takes me right back to the mountains, lakes, and other beautiful landscape. If you like this one, then try Happy Trails (Round Up II). It's just like this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT CD WITH THE TRUE FLAVOR OF THE MOVIES., August 28, 2000

This recording captures the feel and excitement of the original soundtracks. Especially fine are the arrangements from THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, HOW THE WEST WAS WON, and THE BIG COUNTRY. The Cincinnati Pops plays with great depth and feeling. A real must-own cd for any fan of great symphonic movie scores.

3.0 out of 5 stars not worth the upgrade, August 22, 2006

This review is from: Round-Up (Audio CD)

Yes, the music is great. But the surround quality is problematic. It seems the surround engineering was done by two people who did not listen to each other's approach.
Instrument placing is great on half of the disc (superb Magnificent Seven), but the other half has far too much music coming from the center speaker (compare Silverado on sacd and cd). It's as if one engineer wants you to relive the movies with cinema like surround, and the other one wants you to experience a front row seat in a dry sounding concert hall.
The cd still stands as a perfect disc to show off your non-surround system. Leave it at that.
