Music reviews of Mantovani at the Movies
Music Review: Mantovani's music--a many splendored thing indeed !!!
Rating: 5 Stars
Mantovani & His Orchestra always played so well to satisfy their audiences; and when you hear this fantastic album of movie hits you'll be sure to agree! These musical numbers are universally arranged with great sensitivity; and that's excellent. The quality of the sound on this CD is excellent and I like that artwork, too.
"Unchained Melody" begins the track set; this beautiful melody uses the strings to great advantage and it's very easy on the ear--what great music this is! "Moon River" comes from the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's;" Mantovani and his band give this their all and I'm struck by the natural beauty of this number. It's flawless--this music is all THAT good. In addition, we also get "Over the Rainbow" from "The Wizard of Oz;" Mantovani's group delivers this without ever letting go of a single superfluous note and that intro they play is very elegant as well. "Three Coins in the Fountain" is a most poignant song that has stood the test of time; I always like to hear this ballad with or without vocals.
"Limelight" is very pretty; and listen for Mantovani & His Orchestra to outdo even themselves on "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" from the movie of the same name. "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" uses the brass, drums and strings in particular to make this shine brighter than silver and gold; I love it. Moreover, "A Certain Smile" is absolutely charming; Mantovani and his mates do this one up right and it's easily a major highlight of this album. "The Magnificent Seven" is dramatic and energetic at once; and I really like this, too.
"Tara's Theme" from "Gone with the Wind" is another stunner of a musical number; they play this to perfection--and beyond! The theme from "Zorba the Greek" is very well done; and I particularly enjoy hearing them perform the theme from the James Bond movie entitled "Goldfinger." "Lawrence of Arabia" is another number with a rather lush musical arrangement that works very well; it just couldn't have been done any better.
"Lara's Theme" comes from the movie "Doctor Zhivago;" and it's one of my favorites on this CD. "Lara's Theme" has a wonderful melody; and Mantovani & His Orchestra do a splendid job on "Fiddler on the Roof" from the musical of the same name. "The Apartment" has a very elegant piano arrangement; and "Be My Love" is also very nicely done. The album ends very well with Mantovani & His Orchestra performing "Friendly Persuasion" and it rounds out the track set very well.
All in all, if you want five star movie music from the great Mantovani & His Orchestra, this is it! I highly recommend this for Mantovani fans; and people who enjoy easy listening will not be disappointed.
