There's not much more I can add to the reviews below. This is a superb performance of an absolutely beautiful work. The Serenade is written for 13 winds (2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassett horns, 4 horns, 2 bassoons, and 1 contrabass). What Mozart is able to do over the course of seven movements is simply astonishing. The variety, colors and sonorities are amazing when you realize this is a chamber work.

The members of the Orchestra of St. Luke's, lead by Sir Charles Mackerras turn in an impeccable performance. The sound quality is terrific too, with plenty of air and space around the instruments. If you're new to Mozart and are looking to explore his chamber works (or chamber music in general), this is a great place to start. The only downside is the short playing time (50 ... Read More

3.The Score from: Varese Sarabande

Music : The Score
I actually bought the CD BECAUSE of the background "score". I bought the movie, and did listen to the other music (Diana Krall, etc.), and it was nice...but I enjoyed the atmospheric aspect of the Shore tracks. A CD of the other tracks might be a true "soundtrack", but I took the title of the movie as literal metaphorically. Shore's music absolutely tracks with the movie. It wasn't a great soundtrack, I grant you. But I think it is much better than what credit (or lack thereof) it seems to be receiving from other reviewers.

I really enjoyed listening to this cd. His voice is very soothing and easy to listen to. I especially enjoy listening to "Last Morning of my Life". It includes songs made famous by others such as"Back on my Feet" and "Young Girl". I have his other cd which features music from various operas. I would say you won't be sorry that you bought this cd!!!!!!

6.Love Scenes from: Composers Recordings

Music : Love Scenes
"Brilliant Sky, Infinite Sky" is wonderful; so is "Love Scenes;" but I bought this recording for the last piece, called "Morningsongs." The performance is incredible; the baritone soloist is one of the best I've heard. The piece is so full of passion and sadness and beauty that you will never forget it. I particularly love the middle movement called "Blue Animals." Kernis - a brilliant composer! - uses the chamber ensemble to its fullest capabilities, melding instrumental colors with vocal sounds and syllables to create a full and rich, yet intimate, texture. I checked this recording out at a university library and after hearing it immediately bought my own copy.

This CD is listenable and has some nice music, but has nothing memorable. There is no rousing main theme that I expect from a soundtrack and many of the songs are not particularly good. If you are interested in music from this period, get the soundtracks to "Last of the Mohicans, The Patriot, and A&E's Revolution" (if you can find and afford that last one). Pass on this one.
