Great classic!.......2003-03-25

This is a great compilation with the best tenors ever!Try this CD!

Tenors on Tour - Versatile and Beautiful.......2001-06-20

Tenors on Tour is a CD which will live forever. The opening songs by Placido Domingo, His arrangement of Blue Moon and Moon River, set the tone for the CD. To hear Richard Tucker do "Climb every Mountain" was a wonderful trip down memory lane. Who will ever forget him? Placido continues with Broadway..Maria from West Side Story and a Beatles song "Yesterday". Mandy Patinkin's "Over the Rainbow" is classic and wonderful! But in my opinion Jose Carreras has the most "goose bumping" production on the entire CD. His Ave (Maria) is so beautifully done it may just bring tears to your eyes. The "King" Pavarotti is the "clean-up Hitter with selections from LaBoheme,and he does "O Sole Mio" as only He can do it. This CD is a treat for anyone who enjoys fine music. You will play it over and over again.

A Beautiful Collection!!!.......2005-04-09

"A Bridge Over Time" is a beautiful collection of songs which have become favorite melodies for people across many generations. From George Gershwin's "Someone to Watch Over Me" to "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from The Lion King, these inspired arrangements bridge eight decades. The magic of Mary Beth Carlson on the piano leads the elegant piano orchestrations that include performances by world-class musicians on the oboe, flute, English horn, harp, cello, soprano sax, and guitar.

Other favorites of mine on the CD include "Feather Theme" from Forest Gump, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", and "The Long And Winding Road". While most of the songs on the CD may be very well known, Mary Beth's original arrangements maintain the beauty of the original song while at the same time making it sound new and fresh.

Two original compositions by Mary Beth are also featured on the CD --- "A Bridge Over Time" and "Canon In D / Rings Of Love". I especially enjoy "Canon In D / Rings Of Love". The beauty of the song will have you playing it over and over again!!!

For anyone who enjoys the music of piano orchestrations, you are sure to enjoy the beauty of Mary Beth Carlson's music on this CD.

An album that grows on you.......2005-08-29

There are some albums you listen to a lot in the first few months and then tire. This one is the opposite. I have had this album about 7 years and it wasn't until it got onto my PC and tracks started turning up on random play that I really started to realise how good it is.

It is crossover music being recorded with both a jazz ensemble and the London Symphony Orchestra. The crossover genre (if it is one genre) has always attracted me since it is a pathway from pop to jazz to classical to world music to ...

The tracks cover a range of positions on the spectrum from Symphonic through big band swing to intimate (modern) jazz solos. Though most often heard accompanying his wife, Dame Cleo Laine, the consistent high quality of both composition and arrangement here has lead me to hold Dankworth himself in high regard.

Rather a lot of composers have had a bash at variations on a theme by Paganini but Dankworth's is up there with the best, which considering this includes Liszt, Brahms and Rachmaninov....!

The weak spots for me are the easy listening tracks such as "every time we say goodbye" and "the shadow of your smile". There is nothing wrong with these tracks it is just there are other versions that I prefer.

On the other hand, Afterglow and Sing Sing Sing are Dankworth originals which deserve to be standards. There is also humour in the form of the Three Blind Mice variations which is musically superb and illustrates Dankworth's versatility.

If you are looking to broaden your musical interests or just mining for undiscovered nuggets then this album has plenty to offer.
