Title: Kunzel goes to Hollywood
Review: This is the first collection of famous soundtracks delivered by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra under the direction of Erich Kunzel. The second volume is available here: Hollywood's Greatest Hits, Volume 2. I really like the arrangements for big orchestra. One of my favorites is the "Parade of the Charioteers" from Ben-Hur (track 4). I like the main theme played with the whole brass section of the orchestra, it has a really powerful sound. Another great track is the main theme from "Lawrence of Arabia" (track 7). With its middle-eastern harmonies, the music transports us to the beautiful sand dunes of the Jordanian desert.The album also contains music that is not classical in structure. Among them, two of my favorites are the theme from the Bond movie "Goldfinger" (track 9) and Bill Conti's Rocky theme (track 14). The Bond arrangement is really nice, and taken at a faster pace than the original song by Shirley Bassey. I always better liked instrumental music to vocal music, so it's really nice to hear an orchestra-only version of this song. The Rocky theme is also taken at a much faster pace than the movie soundtrack, but I think it gives it greater dynamics.I think it's a good CD to have as it features great arrangements of beloved melodies from the movies. I prefer the themes included on this CD than the ones recorded on the second volume. However, both are great and really nice arrangements of movie masterpieces!

Title: Good CD, but not great
Review: The great themes are all here. The CD came as advertised, so no problems there. However, the quality of the group playing and difference in sound quality led to some obvious differences between the original movie score and this orchestra's rendition of a piece. Overall, a solid product.

Title: Great music, great songs, great energy from Hollywood
Review: I originally received this CD as a gift. It truly knocked my socks off! Love the movie themes so much, and the orchestra that plays the themes is FAB-U-LOUS! I got great energy from some songs (I actually get a lot of housework done with these), and other music was very soothing (like the theme from Love Story). Anyway, I misplaced this CD when making a move.I ordered it from Amazon not too long ago, and it is still one of my most favorite CD's of all time. It just seems to "take me away" (like Calgon...)! It is also terrific to exercise, jog or walk while listening to this CD. Great also while in the car. Guess I really can't say enough about this CD. A great one to buy from Amazon.

Title: Not so nostalgic as I expected
Review: The Award Winning Movie Themes the 60's was much more authentic (in my opinion) as far as soundingjust like the original scores. Hollywood's Greatest Hits didn't quite take me back to the movies.

Title: Big Screen Features ...
Review: Music makes a great motion picture. Great themes that run in the movies are coupled with great music. Gone with the Wind, Exodus, these movies were complemented by their music. These sounds bring back these great movies.

Review: Très heureuse de l'achat, malheureusement, cette qualité d'enregistrement se perd. Oui, un CD de 30 ans sonne mieux que le streaming moderne et le catalogue Telarc n'est toujours pas dispo en Streaming 😉
