Free Music Review: A Millennium Collection of Burt Bacharach's Best
Hit: 5 Stars
"In the 1960s, Burt Bacharach catapulted to the forefront of popular music as the most celebrated contemporary composer on the planet. He is a living legend of popular music. This collection is a welcome opportunity to enjoy a master at work." ~ Joseph F. Laredo, Liner Notes ~
Burt Bacharach is truly a living legend of popular music. His name is synonymous with some of the grooviest hits of the sixties and the seventies such as "This Guy's In Love With You," "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" and "The Look of Love."
This CD is a looking-glass of twelve of the best works he collaborated with a fine lyricist, Hal David, starting off with "The Look of Love" and wraps up with "Don't Make Me Over." This collection is a combination of purely instrumentals and a few tracks with vocals. It's so hard to pinpoint any favorite tracks since they all are my absolute favorites. But the most noteworthy tracks are "This Guy's In Love With You," "What The World Needs Now Is Love," "They Long To Be Close To You," "I Say A Little Prayer" and "One Less Bell To Answer."
Burt Bacharach is one of the respected names in composing, conducting and arranging. He's also a recording artist in his own right and has recorded vocal versions of "A House Is Not A Home," "Close To You" and "This Guy's In Love With You" on separate covers.
This is one of the best Burt Bacharach collections. Give it a listen and enjoy!
Very highly recommended.
20th Century Masters: The Best Of Burt Bacharach (Millennium Collection) Poster
It took the martini-fueled lounge music scene of the '90s and some campy placements in a couple of hit movies--Austin Powers and My Best Friend's Wedding--to re-establish Burt Bacharach's genius in the public's mind. Once that was done, his work could be heard with new ears: It was no longer merely elevator music, but rather pop composition at its finest, marked by peerless melodies and arrangements that were complex in subtle ways. To get the full effect of the hits he wrote for artists such as Dionne Warwick, Dusty Springfield, B.J. Thomas, the Fifth Dimension, and many, many others, you should hear them in versions that also feature Hal David's brilliant lyrics (the multidisc set The Look of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection is worth every penny). But this brief overview containing instrumental takes (augmented occasionally by a female chorus and, once, Burt's own warbling vocals) of songs such as "The Look of Love," "Alfie," and "What the World Needs Now Is Love" offers some intrigue, too. If you still feel like having a martini, here's the appropriate soundtrack. --Daniel DurchholzBroadway & Vocalists Music CDs
