5 out of 5 stars "Bateman & Temple...double the listening pleasure".......2001-06-29

Paul Bateman and "The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra" extend their listening pleasure with this latest release ~ "Shakespeare At The Movies"...backed by the world renown "Crouch End Festival Chorus" led by their Choir Master - David Temple. Also appearing...Kenneth Alwyn and Nic Raine to this already "blue-ribbon" 2-CD-Set of the finest music ever to grace the big screen.

Composers who's who is the marquee'...Miklos Rozsa & Sir William Walton from the '40s & '50s...Michael J. Lewis, Nino Rota, Dimitri Shostakovich from the '60s...John Scott from the '70s...Craig Armstrong, Patrick Doyle, Pietro Mascagni & Stephen Warbeck from the '80s, '90s & 2000...each sharing their God-given-talent with the masses, the love of film scoring.

Must mention a highlight in this awesome collection..."ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA" (1972), haunting in content, mixed with heavenly voices and a wonderful flute solo, strings sweeping as a flowing breeze centering around the brass section...over six minute suite in length...composed, arranged and orchestrated by John Scott...conducted by Nic Raine, excels with a love theme pouring generously in each measure, followed by passionate counterpoint, overlayed with a veil of sweet melody.

The entire collection is a film-score-buffs "pot of gold", just waiting at the end of your rainbow...powerful, overwhelming and outstanding performances from all who contributed...James Fitzpatrick (Producer) never fails with each endeavor, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Paul Bateman, Rickie Clark and Nic Raine (associate producers)...you might try other albums from Silva, all worthy of a good listen ~ "Crimson Pirate:Swashbucklers Of The Silver Screen" (SSD-3009)..."The Mark Of Zorro" (SSD-3010)..."Cinema Century 2000" (STD-5023)..."Alien Invasion:Space & Beyond 2" (SSD-1083)..."Space 3:Beyond The Final Frontier" (SSD-1112)..."Cinema's Classic Romances" (SILKD-6018)..."Bond Back In Action 2" (SSD-1119)

        As a medium of emotional intensity, film has in a sense become the opera of our time. After all, aficionados of silent movies know that their exaggerated acting style inherited a good deal from the traditions of the opera stage, while the soundtracks to films of our own time often incorporate music from the great operas for moments of special impact. This budget Naxos disc offers a highly enjoyable way for film buffs of all stripes to dip into the transporting world of opera. The booklet notes give the context for each of the familiar films in which these 17 selections occur (oddly, there is no listing of the performers anywhere on the album). As you recall your favorite scenes, the genius by which Mozart, Puccini, Wagner, Verdi--who admittedly gets short shrift with just the "Anvil Chorus" from Il Trovatore--and the other composers represented here create a mood may inspire you to take a closer look at their complete operas. A good place for the romantically inclined to start is La Boheme, which is sure to leave you even more moonstruck than the film. --Thomas May

            3 out of 5 stars Great artists, good selection, live recordings.......2004-08-20

            I remember buying this record about ten years ago, or so, just after I'd seen the movie 'Philadelphia' for the first time, being gripped by the scene where Tom Hanks introduces Denzel Washington to Maria Callas singing 'La mama morta'. This disc features just that special performance of the aria. Callas also sings Puccini's 'O mio babbino caro' and Rossini's 'Una voce poco fa' to great effect here. Other singers include some of the last century's greatest singers; Jussi Bjorling, Renata Tebaldi, Luciano Pavarotti, Giuseppe di Stefano, Teresa Berganza, Mario del Monaco a.s.o. The repertoire spans from Mozart to early 20th century. As far as that's concerned, this is a good compilation. But, as far as I've been able to find out, most of the arias here are not sung by the same singers as they were in the respective movies, i.e. if you heard Pavarotti in the movie, it may well be di Stefano singing the same aria here. What's a little more troublesome is the sound quality. All tracks are taken from live recordings, and only a few of them are really good in sound, for example 'che gelida manina' with Pavarotti. Most of the tracks are OK, no more, and in the bottom end is Berganza's 'Voi che sapete' and unfortunately, both Tebaldi's arias. Both di Stefano's and del Monaco's arias are stunningly performed, but also marred by disturbing sound at times.

            Therefor this compilation must be considered good for opera lovers who like liveperformances, they certainly add to the drama, and/or any of the special artists featured - most of the singing is fantastic. However, for someone coming from the movies wanting a special aria or so, I would recommend buying a 'ordinary' opera compilation in stead. Definately so if you're a newcomer to opera.
