Music reviews of A Splash of Pops
Music Review: I love it!
Rating: 5 Stars
I am not an expert but I love this CD. I didn't know there would be a chorus singing with some of the music and it really was a pleasant surprise for the most part. There is one piece that it didn't seem to help having the chorus, I would have preferred just instrumental, but overall it was a great choice for me. I love it!
Description of A Splash of Pops
Keith Lockhart might very well be the Backstreet Boy of classical music. With good looks, a ton of energy, and--most importantly--popular appeal, he leads the Boston Pops Orchestra through disc after disc of Americana compositions (and the odd Celtic title). A Splash of Pops is more of the same. The Boston Pops get downright patriotic by playing everything from Paul Simon's "America" to "Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy," along with a few classical compositions (for example, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture). It's a light affair loaded with saccharine energy, but a few surprises (the overture to State Fair and the new "With Voices Raised," commissioned from the authors of Ragtime: the Musical) are thrown in to keep things interesting. For another sampling of Americana-based classical music, fans should seek out Leonard Bernstein conducting Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring with the New York Philharmonic. It's one of America's greatest recordings and a truer testament to the country's musical wealth. --Jason VerlindeGeneral CDs
