Great Composers: Elmer Bernstein (Film Score Compilation)

Search: Starlight
from: Varese Sarabande

Release Date October 26, 1999
As a big Bernstein fan, I was looking forward to this comp. But I couldn't even make it through one listen. I found it insipid, saccharine. The main idea behind this comp seems to be to stuff every recognizable theme Bernstein ever wrote into one set while cutting out all other sections including any variations or development. They've cut the meat out of the music and left only the fat. The playing is stiff, the tempos are rushed, the arrangements are terrible. Don't waste your time.

Dressed for the Occasion

Search: Starlight
by: Cliff Richard

Release Date January 26, 2004
Magnificent! The beautiful voice of Cliff and the class of the London Philharmonic blend so beautifully together. Cliff enunciates his vocals with passion, feeling and finesse. The London Philharmonic play with warmth and sensitivity that gives these wonderful songs an added edge and vitality.

"Green Light" is a stunning example of this. The sweeping orchestral arrangement lends Alan Tarney's great song about romantic insecurity a haunting, dramatic feel; and Cliff extends his vowels and sings in low mellow tones so the song sinks in deep. "We Don't Talk Anymore" is performed with sensual harmonies, powerful sensitivity and flair.

The unforgettable "True Love Ways", "Softly As I Leave You" and "Treasure Of Love" dazzle with the sweet ... Read More:

Hank Marvin & John Farrar

Search: Starlight
by: Marvin & Farrar

Release Date June 11, 2007
Although Hank Marvin and John Farrar are purported not to have thought much of this album, it is very listenable. It is not as good as the two earlier albums by Marvin, Welch & Farrar, however; either of which I would recommend above this.
It is frustrating that Amazon does not know about the seminal British (mostly) instrumental ensemble (and Cliff Richard backing group)the Shadows but continues to confuse them with others and mislabel their genre of music.
