Music reviews of That's Entertainment!: The Best Of The M-G-M Musicals - Motion Picture Soundtrack Anthology
Music Review: These Recordings Have NEVER Sounded Better!
Rating: 5 Stars
Sure, these are the same old standards you've heard before and you probably have multiple recordings of them. Throw them all away!
You have NEVER heard them sound this good before. This CD showcases them in the best possible sound from the original elements -often in true stereo and high fidelity for the first time ever. These tracks are all presented in pristine sound, cleaned and remastered as close to the original performances as is likely to be possible.
Gone is the fake stereo re-channeling (remember the origingal That's Entertainment soundtrack LP?), gone is the excessive reverb and echo so common to monaural re-releases.
Playing each track is literally like hearing it for the first time. The presence inherent in the recordings is released with a vengence once the reverb is stripped away, once the fake stereo is removed, once the higher fidelity is revealed in the first generation masters.
It's worth it alone to hear the restored full-range, true stereo, high-fidelity magnetic tape recording of William Warfield singing 'Old Man River.' Such depth and range has never been present in any recording I've ever heard.
I could go on and gush about each individual track, but this is once CD you must actually hear to believe.
