You've got to credit Kevin Spacey for sheer gumption: not only did he choose to direct a biopic about Bobby Darin (not the hippest of 1960s singers), but he also decided to star in it despite the fact that he was in his midforties and Darin died at 37. As if this weren't enough, unlike Jamie Foxx in Ray, Spacey performs all the songs himself. The hard-driving "Hello Young Lovers" starts off the album with a bang, the actor working with the big band with casual ease. While Darin is now best known for his swinging "Mack the Knife" and his adaptation of Charles Trenet's "La Mer" ("Beyond the Sea"), he also explored folk and scored with the teeny-bopperish "Splish Splash." Spacey acquits himself honorably in all these genres, though he's best when he swings hard--his yelpy "Splish Splash" lacks the required levity. No matter what you think of the film itself, what we hear on this album is an actor who wouldn't be out of place in a Broadway musical. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Album Description
Among only a handful of entertainers who bridged the gap between '50s rock fans and their Sinatra-loving parents, Bronx-born pop legend Bobby Darin's life and career were short but extraordinary. In 1959 the singer/composer rocketed to stardom with 2 Grammy Awards-Best New Artist and Record of the Year for the #1 smash "Mack the Knife." His other signature smash provides the title for this biopic chronicling his genre-defying music, tempestuous marriage to starlet Sandra Dee, and untimely death at age 37-in 1973-from a heart defect acquired during a childhood illness. Kate Bosworth stars as Dee, and Darin is brought to life by Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey, who also directed the film and sings 18 of the artist's classic hits.
Customer Reviews:
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.......2007-05-25
This might be heresy, but Kevin Spacey is a better singer than Bobby Darin!
Beyond The Sea Audio CD.......2007-03-09
Very nice. I knew after seeing the movie I'd want the soundtrack. The production work is fantastic!
Beyond the Sea - Kevin Spacey.......2007-02-07
I thought the cd was awesome. Kevin did Bobby proud!
Beyond Bobby Darin.......2006-08-21
For those who enjoyed the movie "Beyond the Sea", which tells the life story of Bobby Darin, this will be a "must have" CD. Spacey does a surprisingly good job of these Bobby Darin hits, and the band really kicks. Spacey's voice is warm and the phrasing owes a lot to the original Darin versions. Fo those who haven't seen the movie, here's a collection of standards that will entertain. Recommended.
Bobby Darin's music relived.......2006-07-15
The music is in sharp contrast to our contemporary offerings and a listener needs to make adjustments, allowing that this is the music of more than 40 years ago.
In particular the music backing is the first thing that tells us that this is 'different' music.
But it is of course enjoyable because of the Bobby Darin touch faithfully recorded by Kevin Spacey.
For maximum enjoyment, one should see the movie!

Will it become another rich Newman family tradition? Picking up the baton his cousin Randy carried so skillfully on Disney/Pixar's four previous pioneering computer animation features, composer Thomas Newman was undaunted, bringing his own highly original scoring sensibility to the studio's latest digital daydream--an effort that's also the younger Newman's own debut score for an animated feature. Tom's consistently unique approach to matters of rhythm and percussion are as forceful and inventive as ever in this undersea adventure, while his passages for orchestra resonate with the same quintessentially American pastoral melancholy his songwriting cousin has long employed in his work. The result is dynamic, diverse, and uniquely personal as any modern animated feature. Especially rewarding are the jazz/exotica/kitsch flourishes Newman playfully throws into the mix, diffusing his ever nervous rhythms with unexpected, quirky colorations. It's a must for any fan of Newman's evocative canon. Contemporary crooner Robbie Williams rounds out proceedings with a faithful, jazzy take on Bobby Darin's classic "Beyond the Sea." --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
Beautiful music.......2007-07-16
Because my 2 year old son loves the Finding Nemo movie I ordered the CD to listen to at bedtime. The first time I played it, it only took him the first few notes to recognize the music from the movie.
The soundtrack does a wonderful job of creating an underwater atmosphere. My son and I also have fun with some of the "scary parts" such as when the barracuda attacks. As soon as my son hears that particular strain of music he makes a pretend scared face and then we giggle and snuggle in the covers.
If your child loves Nemo, has an active imagination and likes to listen to music as he goes to sleep, this is a nice choice.
Great CD!.......2007-04-05
Great cd! Have used in the classroom and the kids loved it.
Not what I was looking for..........2007-03-10
I was pretty disappointed by this. I was looking for songs that my kids could sing and dance to. This just was not it!! It's too bad, its one of my daughter's favorite movies.
Finding Nemo.......2007-01-09
I love this CD. I listen to it every night when I'm falling asleep. :-)
"Finding Nemo" soundtrack, music by Thomas Newman.......2006-08-19
A fabulous musical experience, even if you have not seen the movie. Newman uses the whole orchestra and more, with rich undertones and theme notes for each character in the story. I love the way it is presented in chronological order per movie-story-line. I listen to it while driving, making a very soothing drive for me. A great composition, you can just totally envision exactly where the story-line is going. Conjures up the clever dialogue amongst the characters while listening. Should make great company for the car back seat for small kids. Liner notes include photo I.D. of all the main characters.

disapppointing choice.......2007-07-12
Great selection of beautiful songs--that's the plus. Too bad they are arrainged in such an abysmally slow tempo with every note drug out to the max that it's almost painful to listen to them. I'd think twice (or three times) before buying this CD unless you can preview it in advance and the tempo is to your liking.
Frank Chacksfield.......2005-08-07
I like all type of his music it sound great thank
Marvelous! ........¡Qué buen doble álbum!.......2004-08-02
There are 2 new CDs of Polygram, one this of Mr. Chacksfield, a wonderful orchestra with 2 LPs. 1 is inedit "Limelight", for the first time in CD. The other CD of Polygram is of Ronnie Aldrich, too 2 on 1. Both CDs are excellents! The sound is 5 stars for the 2 CDs.
The 4 LPs represents the golden years of the big orchestras and Decca/London.
If you love the GOOD sound, the GOOD orchestras and GOOD arragments, buy this two new CDs of Polygram.
(Note for Polygram personal: Vocalion a few weeks ago debuted with 2 CDs with the same material in each half of this compilations! Please, can somebody do a little look to the records in this world before reediting again the same LPS?).
There are MANY records (LPs) and hidden treasures waiting to see the format in CD. And Many collectors and fans of Phase 4 Stereo waiting NEW music.....
Y PARA LOS DE HABLA EN ESPAÑOL:
Decca está sacando por fin dobles álbumes en 1 CD. Aunque Vocalion presentó hace unas semanas "Beyond the sea" en otro doblete, tenemos acá "Limelight", un excelente LP, temas magníficos y espectacular sonido (degusten el Concierto de Varsovia y "Tonight"). Vale la pena comprar éste CD, al igual que el doble recién salido de Ronnie Aldrich (Soft & Wicked and Where the Love is).
Esperemos que al fin publiquen toda esta excelente música de los 60's y 70's, con arte original, toda de la era dorada de London/Decca y su sello Phase 4 Stereo.
Aprovechen, cómprenlo, está barato y obtienen una orquesta 1A, sonido mejor que cualquiera de las nuevas grabaciones DDD y música para colocarse los audífonos y disfrutar (Ojo, no es para colocar en el equipo y oírlo de fondo, no señor!).Esta música no se vuelve a escuchar.

Customer Reviews:
Pure instrumental magic!.......2007-06-13
The purchase of this CD was highly recommended by a fellow member of Yahoo's "Beautiful Instrumentals Group." Containing several formerly unavailable on CD selections, this album is pure instrumental magic! For example, some of you may recall Monte Kelly's mid-1950s rendition of "Tropicana," from the LP of the same name, and other songs from that collection. They are here at last! I have been waiting since CDs came out to see "Tropicana" and many other "magical instrumentals" from the US and Europe finally appear on CD, and this is the first in a series of new CDs produced by Nick Acquaviva to hit the market that feature these wonderful instrumentals. I highly recommend that anyone who loves classic instrumental check this and the entire series out. You will not be disappointed!

Drop dead gorgeous.......2005-07-04
Every now and then you get a CD come along where some really outstanding artist allows themself to just let their hair down for a moment. Of course it has to be done with aplomb and thorough good taste adding their unique touch of brilliance while sucessfully avoiding any hint of kitch. Russian Early Music pioneer Anatoly Grindenko here records songs from the time of Tsarist Russia. These are songs that transient political regimens would have tried to replace in the popular affection with political songs. Yet somehow these songs have survived in the hearts and affections of the Russian people and this peasant tradition of folk song that refused to die is presented with Grindenko's usual expertise and sung expertly with the utmost affection. In fact the songs were always sung by this choir for their own private fun but excluded from 'serious' concert performances. The quality of singing, as can be expected under Grindenko's expert choral direction, is superb througout. The end result is a lovely CD that can be highly recommended to anybody who just loves to listen to beautiful singing. After all the works of Tchaikovsky, Borodin and Stravinsky draw heavily on Russian folk song as a rich source of thematic material but any serious music lover would enjoy this CD just as much with its range of songs ranging from boisterous to charming to melancholy. Opus 111, as usual, provide expertly engineered sound to match. The end result is a drop dead gorgeous CD that will delight anyone lucky enough to discover this secret gem.
Brilliant !.......2001-12-26
This recording is a fantastic example of the russian choral tradition. Wonderful selections sung with obvious passion .The rousing patriotic tunes will make you want to march to the front, the romantic ballads will make you wish you never left and the songs of hearth and homeland will make you inch closer to your loved ones. If you have a passion for things "russian" this one just might keep you occupied for a while.

Like Rainbows.......2005-12-07
This album contains some very pleasing music. There's a selection of famous Christmas carols, the majority of which are played as instrumentals, with Liona Boyd on classical guitar, Georges Zamfir on pan flute, and a fine team of other musicians, including Toronto's Children's Chorus and the Orpheus Choir.
Five of the selections include lyrics. The first is the title song, "Christmas Dreams," which begins "Christmas dreams are like rainbows." The others are "Song of Peace," "Silent Night," "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear."
It's a good choice for the Holiday season, maybe even more so on the evening of, say, December 6 (Saint Nicholas' Day) or December 24 (Christmas Eve, of course).
If you are a Pagan, the Holiday season is a great time to invite one's Christian friends over to celebrate Yule, sing "O Tannenbaum," and put presents under the tree. If you want to go, um, whole hog, you can even perform the sonargoltr (sacrificing the Yule pig) for the feast. But don't do that in front of the guests! Instead, get this fine album and use it to promote togetherness.
A fine Christmas CD for your collection........2000-05-22
Guess what my wife gave me last Christmas? It was "Christmas Dreams" by Liona Boyd.We played "Christmas Dreams" over, over, and over.... Georges Zamfir plays pan flutes to provide a lovely blend with Liona's beautiful classical guitar playing of Christmas season tunes. Other guest appearances are by Roger Whittaker, The Toronto Children's Chorus, and The Orphius Choir. I enjoy all 14 tracks and highly recommend this CD for this Blessed Christmas Season.

A GREAT LIGHT CLASSIC CD.......2006-05-01
I love this CD, Richard Hayman musical arrangements are excellent and contribute to emphasize all the beautiful melodies with creative and graceful details performed by a fine orchestra. Track "World of Legrand" is my favourite. 5 stars no doubt.
Nice Music.......2003-12-24
This collection features lovely selections of French music. This music is not upbeat, but reflects the romantiscism and beaty of France. If your looking for light orchestral music that is not entirely classical, I would reccomend this CD. Au revoir, et La Vie an Rose!
