"themes & cues savor the romantic that dwells in all of us".......2005-04-12

What a crowning achievement to bring "Reel Love: The Cinematic Romance Album", released by Silva America and featuring The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus ~ conductors are Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Nic Raine and David Temple director of the chorus ~ one can only expect the highest quality of performances and quench the thirst of all "film-score-buffs".

Sit back and unleash the first disc with composers taking each film score cue in alphabeltical order:

"CASABLANCA (AS TIME GOES BY)" (Herman Hupfeld)
"DOCTOR ZHIVAGO (MAIN TITLE & LARA'S THEME)" (Maurice Jarre)
"EL CID (LOVE THEME)" (Miklos Rozsa)
"EMMA (MAIN THEME) (Rachel Portman)
"GONE WITH THE WIND (TARA'S THEME)" (Max Steiner)
"IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE" (Dimitri Tiomkin)
"LOVE STORY (WHERE DO I BEGIN)" (Francis Lai)
"PLAY MISTY FOR ME (MISTY)" (Errol Garner)
"PRIDE & PREJUDICE (MAIN THEME)" (Carl Davis)
"RYAN'S DAUGHTER (ROSY'S THEME)" (Maurice Jarre)
"SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (THROW THE COINS)" (Patrick Doyle)
"SOMEWHERE IN TIME (MAIN THEME)" (John Barry)
"THEME FROM A SUMMER PLACE" (Max Steiner)
"VERTIGO (SCENE D'AMOUR)" (Bernard Herrmann)
"YOUNG & THE RESTLESS (NADIA'S THEME)" (Barry DeVorzon/Perry Botkin Jr)

Arrangements that soar and then simmer into pure meditation of grandeur ~ classic film music prevails, as orchestration comes to the surface with pure originality ~ one masterpiece after another is long last presented as it should have been, is cause for celebration ~ each cue is a distinctive gift for striking modernism, touching on the transition of the period in this planets history.

Second disc is waiting in the wings are the composers and selections also in alphabeltical order:

"A MAN AND A WOMAN (UN HOMME ET UNE FEMME)" (Francis Lai)
"BRAVEHEART (END TITLES)" (James Horner)
"CINEMA PARADISO (LOVE THEME)" (Ennio Morricone)
"EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (MAIN TITLE/ICE DANCE)" (Danny Elfman)
"EMMANUELLE" (Pierre Bachelet/Herve Roy)
"ENGLISH PATIENT (AS FAR AS FLORENCE)" (Gabriel Yared)
"FINDING NEVERLAND (IMPOSSIBLE OPENING)" (Jan A. P. Kaczmarek)
"GHOST (UNCHAINED MELODY)" (Alex North)
"IL POSTINO (MAIN THEME)" (Luis Bacalov)
"INDECENT PROPOSAL (MAIN THEME)" (John Barry)
"JEAN DE FLORETTE (MAIN TITLE)" (Jean Claude Petit)
"LAST TANGO IN PARIS" (Gato Barbier)
"ROMEO AND JULIET (LOVE THEME)" (Nino Rota)
"SUMMER OF '42 (THE SUMMER KNOWS)" (Michael Legrand)
"TITANIC (MY HEART WILL GO ON)" (James Horner)

Each composer has the passion and skill for exploring human emotions, coupled with a unique gift for striking exotic orchestral colors, make this with all it's splendor unforgettable ~ themes that ring with familiarity as each film comes to mind through music.
Silva America gives the collector a treasure of thirty film cues that any "film-score-buff" would die for ~ in the past James Fitzpatrick (producer), Reynold da Silva (executive producer), mastered by Rick Clark and David Stoner (release co-ordinator) have given us compilation with such expertise and this one is no exception ~ keep up the outstanding limited editions and deluxe package releases, with your signature tidbits for all film music fans that's in all of us...gotta love it!

Promising.......2004-11-10

Alisa Fineman has a lovely voice, kind of an acoustic Carly Simon. The resonance of her voice is a great part of the attraction for this good set. Most tracks have only acoustic guitar, which sets Fineman's voice off as a fine jewel, but has the drawback of allowing a certain sameness to permeate the set. Her images are often of family and her themes explore personal relationships. The opener "I Could Not Ask for More" is a lovely melody that stays with you, "I know it's never perfect, disappointments make me wise; & chasing dreams is far from easy, but I'll take purpose over lies." The ballad "Corridor" has a haunting Eagles-like quality to the melody but whose lyrics seem a bit obscure, "Remember the man who was last seen dancing like a Hindu on a high peak on a winter's day laughing." One of the most moving tracks is "Mama's Hope Chest," a remembrance of a mother who has passed. Alisa Fineman's disc offers the promise of what could come. There's some fine material here. Except for the a cappella "One Lone Bird," it is all acoustic guitar with slow tempos which does make for a sameness throughout. Perhaps someone could introduce her to a drummer. But there's enough here to enjoy!

A Voice Like an Angel.......2000-12-05

Singer-songwriter Alisa Fineman has the voice of an angel. Reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, her voice, words, and music evoke memories and emotion. "I Could Not Ask For More" and "Better With Time" tell of hopeful love; "Story Ring" is of love gone by. "Mama's Hope Chest" is yesterday; "Home" is today.

Alisa is a treasure, and her music is all that is beautiful in the world. Discover her.

Exceptional, intimate, easy to get lost in........1999-11-18

Sounds and feels like the bar you wish you went to when you broke up with your significant other. Not sad exactly, just dusky rich and good. The kind of music in which to get lost. Terrific writing, exceptional voice, low and soothing, no high screeeches here. More like brandy than a martini. Not a bad cut on the disc. Label seems to have disappeared. It's been more than a couple of years out (1995), I hope/wish she finds a label. It would be a shame to not have more of this kind of music.

One of the best folk artists today........1998-10-30

"Better with Time" captures many different moods and memories. You'll feel swept by the emotions, as well as harmonies, Alisa has brought to her songs. From the perfect memory of a mother, or a love that has withered , to losing your idealism to this fast-paced world.

When I play this for friends, they often compare her voice to contemporary country artists, but she has a style all her own. One of the best songs is sung a cappella. It takes you on a journey. You can actually feel the flight of the bird she is singing about by her inflections and perfect rhythm.

If you ever get the chance to see her perform live it's a real treat.

I highly recommend this CD. It was, however, produced in small release and is hard to find. I hope there will be a new release soon.
