Live Recording Hooked On Classics Classical Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Didn't realize this 1 would hav originals as well
It is an excellent CD. I like most of the selections, however, some of the later ones were making it a little stayle for me after a while. I also purchased "Hooked on Swing" which is one of my all-time favorites as well.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Since I was a child
My wife and I grew up listening to this album on audio tape and were thrilled to be able to buy it on CD. We even bought one for my Mother-in-Law for Christmas. It has all the great classic's but also ones with a beat.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No I like classical music
The reason I ordered hooked on classics is because I am just that, hooked on classics. I had heard that it was a varied collector of great classics, so I ordered it. I was not disappointed, I enjoy my CD almost daily.

| | Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone CD (2006) SACD Hybrid
Hooked On Classics
$15.19
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Listening to the music of Ennio Morricone is a joy for any music lover. Listening to his music as played by Yo-Yo Ma borders on the sublime. Morricone is an iconic film composer, a master melodist whose unique scores are characterized by his bold use of unusual musical techniques, sounds, and textures. The term "spaghetti western" would have less significance without his distinctive contributions. Yo-Yo Ma is a musician in a class by himself. He's an extraordinarily gifted cellist of enormous intellect and a fearless explorer of a broad musical landscape, who seems determined to prove that hardly any genre exists within which he can't excel.
It's evident from the very first notes of YO-YO MA PLAYS ENNIO MORRICONE that this was a labor of love for both artists. Ma is at his most expressive as he wraps his luminous tone around some of the most beautiful cinematic themes imaginable, including "Gabriel's Oboe" and "The Falls" from THE MISSION, as well as "Nostalgia" and "Looking For You" from CINEMA PARADISO. Morricone's marvelous arrangements, particularly the suites dedicated to some of the great directors he's worked with, provide a perfect vehicle for the star soloist while retaining the music's original character and flavor. Ma's muscular account of "Ecstasy of Gold" from Sergio Leone's epic THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY is notable among the album's many highlights.
