Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

One of the classiest comedies of the 1980s, Rob Reiner's When Harry Met Sally (1989) stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan as good friends who struggle to keep their relationship from becoming romantic. Rather than take the easy route of licensing classic performances of the Great American Songbook, director Reiner enlisted a young, then-obscure Harry Connick Jr. to offer his own readings of these 1930s and 1940s staples. Though Connick plays it fairly straight, he injects his interpretations with stylistic flair and formidable technical facility ("Stompin' At The Savoy"). The big-band charts of Marc Shaiman fuel tracks such as "It Had To Be You" and "I Could Write A Book," while Connick switches to a more poignant mode in takes of "Autumn In New York" and "Where Or When." In other moments his joyful vocals counterpoint the young couple's witty battle by presenting love as something simple and uncomplicated ("Our Love Is Here To Stay"). Though Crystal and Ryan allow true love to wear them down at the end, Connick makes sure the listener stays one step ahead of them along the way. An inspired performance of exemplary material. --Kevin Mulhall


CD Description

Harry Connick, Jr.'s contributions to Rob Reiner's film WHEN HARRY MET SALLY were the deciding factor in the young New Orleanian's commercial breakthrough. Both the film and the soundtrack were hits, and Connick's popularity was off and running. The fare, here, is strictly American songbook, with renditions of "It Had To Be You", "Love Is Here To Stay", and"Autumn in New York" perfectly complementing Reiner's romantic comedy.
Connick also brings a youthful warmth to these old chestnuts that's difficult to resist. Whether singing in front of a big band, or providing some of his impressive solo piano work, Connick is the embodiment of the young traditionalist, a role that would continue to hold him in good stead for the next several years. Of the Harry Connick, Jr., albums featuring his vocals, this remains one of the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harry Connick, Jr. shines in this wonderful album...., 5 Dec 2003
By Alex Diaz-Granados "fardreaming writer" (Miami, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Fans of Rob Reiner's 1989 romantic comedy "When Harry Met Sally..." will tell you that this Harry Connick, Jr. album that's sold in the Movie Soundtrack section of most music emporiums (including online stores such as this) is not, in fact, from the original motion picture soundtrack. Instead, Columbia Records released this non-soundtrack as When Harry Met Sally...Music From the Motion Picture. Yes, the songs played and sung here by Connick were heard in the movie...but most of them were performed by other artists.
This doesn't mean the album is bad; it's not. It just isn't an "original soundtrack album."

That having been said, this 10-track set is an enjoyable collection of romantic standards, some of them now over six decades old yet sounding timeless. Some of them are cheerful and peppy ("It Had To Be You," which is heard in two versions here), some are riffs on loneliness and separation ("But Not For Me" and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore"),others still are odes to romance ("I Could Write a Book" and the gently reflective "Where or When"). There is even a little bit of the holiday spirit added in for good measure (a solo piano rendition of "Winter Wonderland").

Connick pulls double duty as vocalist and piano player in most of the tracks (with the exception of "But Not For Me," with Marc Shaiman doing the honors at the piano), ably reflecting each song's emotional context with his old-fashioned stylings and New Orleans accent. Listen carefully to the World War II-era "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and there's a sense of longing there for an absent spouse or lover. In his rendition of "Where or When," Connick conveys the feeling of awe everyone feels when he or she has fallen in love with someone, yet can't figure out "where or when" the transition occurred.

I suppose I like this album because I am, as Louis Renault said of Rick Blaine in Casablanca, a "rank sentimentalist" -- a charge to which I cheerfully plead guilty. The fact that these songs were around 30 or more years before my birth over 40 years ago and can still touch people's hearts and minds is proof that some things are indeed timeless. Connick and Shaiman (who also produced the album) chose their material well, making When Harry Met Sally....Music From the Motion Picture a fine addition to anyone's library of jazz and easy listening CDs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning!!! Sinatra reborn (almost)!, 20 May 2003
By ch0pper "ch0pper" (SOUTHAMPTON, Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
A brilliant selection of jazz ballads sung with breathtaking clarity by Harry Connick Jr, who almost rivals the young Farnk Sinatra in his ability to project a song.

I say 'almost' because Connick lacks Sinatra's absolutely precise enunciation and loses a few letters in his singing.

That aside, it's a stirring performance that managed to get my 75yr old mother enthused and making the comparison to her idol (Frank Sinatra).

At this price, the CD is pure value. Great background music for a dinner party or those times that you enjoy lying back in a warm bath and relaxing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is This Guy Talented or WHAT!, 29 Jul 2000
Harry - you are the MAN! This recording of 30's and 40's standard jazz ballads is just sooooo cool. The sublime orchestrations from 'It Had To Be You' right throught to the minimal scoring of 'It Had To You' still sends shivers down my spine every time the CD goes in the tray. Alright, it's only 45 minutes long, and the film doesn't use any of Harry's arrangements, but this is the BEST big-band style CD you will ever hear. Infact, anybody buying this CD after hearing Harry singing his own big-band compositions, will think these all are his. Harry - You Are The Man!
