Music reviews of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers At RKO: Motion Picture Soundtrack Anthology

Music Review: Timeless Music Of A Bygone Era
Rating: 5 Stars

This double CD is transcendent in it's splendor! I recently watched the entire Astaire/Rogers film series and just HAD to find the music performed in those movies-wala, after some research I found this set of magical cd's. To those who take issue with the sound of these recordings as taken directly from the movies, I say that is precisely their charm. The songs are paired with others from each of the movies in a chronological fashion, perfect for visualing the order of progression. Not much I can say about the music except that it is simply some of the purest, classiest, funnest, wittiest set of "standards" ever recorded. The orchestration of the era is stupendous, and Astaire/Rogers sing for the ages. I'm from a much later generation, so glad I caught the Astaire/Rogers "fever"! I'll be listening to this throughout the ages-it's joyful, sentimental, and reminiscent of bygone eras at their best. Go get this one!

Description of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers At RKO: Motion Picture Soundtrack Anthology

During the "talkies'" first decade, Hollywood quickly rivalled Broadway as a major platform for the best pop music, and no franchise underlined this potential better than the Astaire/Rogers musicals released by RKO Pictures. Ironically, that golden age of musicals preceded the introduction of LPs, so it's been left until now for the release of this comprehensive two-CD anthology, which extracts classic vocal performances of classics from Irving Berlin and the Gershwins, among others, slighter but no less charming novelty songs, and brief dialogue excerpts. For fans, it's the mother lode, but even more casual listeners will be reminded of Astaire's deceptively plain yet indelible voice, and Rogers' own warm, engaging style. --Sam Sutherland
