Customer Reviews:

CLASSIC PLASTIC.......2005-07-21

Gershwin CD is strangely lacking in atmosphere and reference, with over an hour of Gershwin's more classical side, including Michael Tilson Thomas conducting The Columbia Jazz Band's "Rhapsody in Blue", featuring Gershwin's original 1925 piano roll, Leonard Bernstein conducting The New York Philharmonic's "An American in Paris", and composer John Williams on guitar in "A Foggy Day". With song titles like, "Medly From The Woody Allen Film 'Manhatten", at just over three minutes, and "Medly From 'Porgy and Bess'", the CD is a classy cash cow thrown together by CBS Records. Tilson Thomas' "Three Preludes for Piano", stops and takes a dramatic musical breath in the context of these slam-bang offerings. Truly bland CD liner notes by Bobby Finn and Kay Swift, whoever they may be.

Musical pleasure.......2001-07-16

I have always loved the Gershwin music. It seems to Americana. When I first heard the recordings of the music from the piano rolls, I was fascinated. When I then heard this album with the jazz sound and the symphony sound combined with the pure sounds from the piano rolls, I was captured by the sound. The mighty ending of The Rhapsody in Blue is as powerful as this music can be. Add songs like Summertime and the Porgy N' Bess favorites and I find that this album is just the right combination of composer, performer and directors. Michael Tilson Thomas pulls forth from the group he is directing, a crisp and powerful sound. Bernstein needs no critique. If you are a lover of Gershwin and piano music, you can't miss with this.

Customer Reviews:

Nice companion CD to Merry Christmas Baby(both on Capitol).......2001-08-15

It really is a shame that both this Capitol collection as well as Merry Christmas Baby are no longer available. I have both on cassette & they will barely survive this coming holiday season. I am anxious to find both on CD. Anyway, both feature the cream of Capitol's crop of recording stars, such as Lena Horne, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin & Peggy Lee, just to name a few. If anyone out there is able to find either Let It Snow-Cuddly Christmas Classics From Capitol OR Merry Christmas Baby-Romance And Reindeer From Capitol DO NOT HESITATE TO PURCHASE THEM-yuletide collections such as these are very hard to come by nowadays. Every song brings back memories of fun times shared with family & friends. For most baby-boomers these are songs we've all grown up with. Very highly recommended

Coolest Christmas Carols.......2003-12-22

It's a shame this UK Jeepster/XFM compilation is out of print (originally a project for charity). What a delightful gem of inspired recordings... I grew up listening to the Carpenter's Christmas record, but THIS is what MY kids will grow up listening to! You may want to listen to this even when it's not Christmas--that's how good the songs are. E-mail Jeepster and demand that they re-release this, or find yourself a used copy...

title says it all.......2002-11-27

Its an import, its expensive, its worth it. Definitely a cool, fun Christmas cd. St Etienne is a major highlight; this cd features what I think is their best song and is unavailable (as far as I know) on any other album. The Dandys are always fun to listen to. With Grandaddy, Low, and Drugstore, what Christmas compilation could be cooler?
