Purple Rain...SYMPHONY STYLE!!!!,
By
This review is from: Symphonic Tribute to Prince's Purple Rain (Audio CD)
If you are a Prince/ classical music fan, get this CD. The cd contains all of the song from the Purple Rain soundtrack, plus 3 bonus tracks. Most of the songs have a classical music feel to them (some are almost jazzy), but they still stay very true to the spirit of the original soundtrack. I am very impressed with the CD and the exactness if the tracks as compared to the original soundtrack. Wanna sing to the songs? Go ahead, it's a perfect classical replica with specific instruments giving a nod to Prince's yows and screams. Prince fans... Buy this CD, you need this CD! :)

Not exactly symphonic...,

This review is from: Symphonic Tribute to Prince's Purple Rain (Audio CD)
I needed some instrumental Prince music for a program I was scoring, and this appeared to be what I needed, and the Amazon reviews were good. Well, it certainly is not like a symphony playing orchestral arrangements of Prince songs (like say the London Symphony Orchestra doing Rolling Stones songs). It is obviously a small ensemble, the arrangements sound very basic - actually, being on the same label, these bear a resemblence to the "String Quartet Tribute to..." series, but not as good. The lead vocal is often replaced by saxaphone, which doesn't jive well with the string instruments. I think the "symphonic tribute" title is stretching things a bit, as these mostly sound small-scale and a bit cheesy. Some of the "String Quartet Tribute to" discs are actually pretty good (like the Janet Jackson one), but this collection doesn't do the originals justice, and is not arranged or performed on a scale to reinvent the songs symphonically.

I was very impressed by the samples i heard on amazon.com so impressed i bought the item. The symphonic versions of the songs are fantastic. i would recomend this item to any Prince fan. All of the songs are easily recognizable.
