2 out of 5 stars The barest glimpse of John Williams.......2006-08-15

John Williams is one of the world's best guitarists, but you'd never know it by listening to this album. He basically plucks out the melody. I think I hear more complex playing in the background, but if that's what it is, it's mixed so as to be barely audible. On the other hand, it's very nice background music. I hope brisk sales support Williams' more serious efforts.

3 out of 5 stars Maybe it'll grow on me.......2004-07-28

If I were not a guitarist myself, I would find this collection very very charming. Certainly the selections are beautiful, and Williams is renowned for one of them: Stanley Myers' "Cavatina" from THE DEER HUNTER. It's just that for me this recording does virtually nothing for either the guitar or the lovely pieces selected for this rather peculiar alteration. I'm just not sure that this kind of project, where a virtuoso SOLOIST is brought in to ACCOMPANY an orchestra (Perlman and Yo-Yo Ma have done similar recordings) is a winner; not even five percent of Williams' prodigious technique is anywhere to be heard and he just sounds so irrelevant. (I'd usually expect to hear this kind of thing from Liona Boyd.) That being acknowledged though, the melodies ARE perfectly lovely and Mr. Williams HAS throughout his great career done many brilliant recordings of dense and difficult music that leave one's mouth agape. I suppose he's earned this little vacation.

5 out of 5 stars Very Good!!!.......2002-09-15

I like this CD very much, I have looked for it for 5 years since I listened its MP3, I got it now, thanks!

2 out of 5 stars disappointing.......2001-04-24

While this album is pleasant enough, it is more orchestra music than classical guitar. John Williams is a great classical guitarist, but the guitar part on this album could have been played by any competent guitarist. If you want nice background music, this album is ok. If you want classical guitar music, look elsewhere.

5 out of 5 stars Williams' Winning Style Captures Film Scores.......2000-08-25

If you like film music, this CD is for you; if you like guitar music, this CD is for you. John Williams brings his guitar virtuosity to bear masterfully on the scores of a number of popular films, which span a period of 60 years.

The use of the guitar gives a different sound to number of the selections, and shows that a good piece of music will shine, no matter what the instrumentation.

            2 out of 5 stars Nice Idea, Terrible Recording - Digitally Remastered???.......2001-06-01

            This is a double CD collection featuring classic soundtrack recordings the 20th Century Fox films The Gang's All Here, Hello Frisco, Hello, Tin Pan Alley and Three Little Girls In Blue. It features the performances of Alice Faye, June Havoc, Jack Oakie, John Payne, Betty Grable, June Haver, Vivian Blaine and Carmen Miranda. While the concept of putting these four films onto CD is a wonderful idea, the mastering on them is terrible. I have heard better recordings of these soundtracks from old vinyl issues from the 60s and 70s. I was astonished how many pops, hisses and clicks there were in this recording, considering it is allegedly re-mastered. Another absurdity is the cover of this CD, which prominently features a picture of Carmen Miranda despite the fact that Miss Miranda is only on one track in this entire two CD set and she shares the spotlight with Benny Goodman. There are far better CDs out there featuring Alice Faye, Betty Grable, and Carmen Miranda. Sure, it was an inexpensive purchase, however it's a shame the company who released this didn't take a little more time to clean up this recording before releasing it.
