Format:Audio CD
Ignore reviews referencing the original recordings and how this may be inferior. The whole idea of this record was to produce, again, a score from these wonderful musicals from very little reference. This is a modern recording created from intense study, mostly by ear and investment of an incredible amount of time.
Solo vocal performances are particularly fulfilling to listen to, clear and articulate yet tonally faithful to the era wishing to be represented. Of note are several performances by Seth MacFarlane, unexpected and a welcome surprise as many will know him for his other talents.
An incredible feat of arrangement and conducting, not simply a nostalgic black and white look at entertainment from a time gone by, but lush orchestral music indeed played back in Technicolor.

What can one say?
This so good,that I played 3 X Times on- the- Trot
The Highlight,for me,was the Barn Dance from "Seven Brides foe Seven Brothers"
A real Revelation.
Anyway,all the tracks are fantastic
Keep up the Good Work,John

On first listening to "That's Entertainment" I was moved to tears.The sound was so fresh and contemporary yet contained all the elements of the original MGM music which sent tingles down your spine. You are a truly talented man, John and please, please continue to make so many people happy through your brilliant scoring, conducting and sourcing of great musicians who share your vision.

Great musical days
The very best in this kind of music. The CD lived up to my expectations and more.
It begs the question though, what happened to the CD of the first Prom that was on BBC... Read more

magic of John Wilson
full of joyful music and singing, wonderful collection of songs which lifts the spirits. Not as good as his Rogers and Hammerstein CD, but well worth it!
