Classical / Film Score

For many their first encounter with classical music will be through its use in films and this collection makes a fantastic entry point to this rich and diverse world. Helpfully all tracks list the films alongside the music, so there will be no doubt as to where the music is familiar from. Classical music has been used to memorable effect in films many times from Ride of the Valkyries in Apocalypse Now to Barber s Adagio in Platoon and from Also sprach Zarathustra in 2001: A Space Odyssey to Beethoven s Ninth in A Clockwork Orange. Occasionally, as in the case of Mozart s Piano Concerto No.21 used in Elvira Madigan, the film title has provided a lasting nickname for the music. All these favourites are included here.

This CD has been a long time coming for serious Ray Conniff collectors, as it's been most difficult to find for years. The quality is excellent, as opposed to some bootleg versions that were very poor. You will certainly enjoy this one, and will welcome it into your collections.

I was sooooooo overjoyed when I saw this album for sale –- "Concert in Rhythm, Volume 2" is okay, but what I had mostly been interested in was the rare out-of-print "Perfect '10' Classics" album… I'd been searching for it for YEARS (I'd needed to replace an old cassette tape of this album that I'd WORN OUT from listening to it so many times, LOL!!!), and it had never been available. I absolutely ADORE these rich-toned light-hearted "bouncy" arrangements of the popular light-classical melodies! Highly, HIGHLY recommended! - Amazon -

With his lush and sophisticated instrumental approach to pop music, Richard Clayderman (born Philippe Pagès) is, according to The Guinness Book of World Records, "the most successful pianist in the world." Clayderman's albums routinely sell millions of copies and his concerts are quickly sold out. In a review of his 1985 Carnegie Hall concert, Variety wrote, "(Clayderman's) main appeal lies in his youth and boyish good looks…coupled with his gentlemanly charm and his thick French accent, they promise to rope in the romantically inclined middle-aged Yank ladies who cotton to this ilk of soothing entertainment." Nancy Reagan referred to Clayderman as "the prince of romance."

Decca Classics presents a 3-CD box-set consisting of 50 tracks that appeared in classic movies from Apocalypse Now to Star Wars.
