Music reviews of Titanic: Music as Heard on the Fateful Voyage
Music Review: This CD Should Have Remained ABOARD The Titanic... (Un-Discovered)
Rating: 1 Stars
When a 'fad', like the movie "Titanic", takes off everyone wants to be onboard; this CD should have been left onboard - the Titanic, that is. Being fully aware of the actual scores played by White Star Line, I can only presume the scores used in this compilation were generated by someone who failed Arranging 101; they are puerile at best - AND the piano is hideously out-of-tune! Quite frankly, should this CD ever be reissued, purchasers should be PAID to listen to this crap. As a musician, I would ashamed to have my name associated with this CD. If this represents the music played on deck while the great ship sank, I understand why 3rd Class Passengers remained below...
Description of Titanic: Music as Heard on the Fateful Voyage
British conductor, musicologist, and producer Ian Whitcomb successfully raises the dead in this re-creation of songs played on board the Titanic the night of the ship's plunge. His White Star Orchestra assumes the ghost of bandleader Wallace Hartley, who entertained the White Star Line's first- and second-class passengers from the lounge and eventually atop the decks of the sinking vessel. With detailed liner notes about the music and excursion, this ear-opening collection provides pleasant and quaint parlor renditions of tunes like "Frankie and Johnny" and "Shine On Harvest Moon"--music that was still the standard when ragtime was only beginning to rankle Edwardian emotions. Whitcomb is also savvy enough to articulate the importance of these selections as musical wallpaper meant to be played behind the potted palm. --Joseph LanzaTraditional Vocal Pop CDs
