Free Music Notes for When Harry Met Sally: Music From The Motion Picture
Free Music Review: Excellent music even if it's not exactly the actual soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
Rob Reiner's movie entitled When Harry Met Sally deserves the fine soundtrack it had; and this CD of songs based on the movie soundtrack will delight you, too. Sure, these renditions are not what you'll hear when you watch the movie; but this CD gives us plenty to be happy about anyway.
Harry Connick, Jr. was just hitting the big time when he was tapped for this film; and this CD proves he had great talent from the start. Even though he was a mere 21 at the time these songs were recorded, Harry displays a mature and polished sensitivity to the nuances in the lyrics of these songs. Harry croons wonderfully on this CD.
The CD opens with "It Had To be You" with Harry Connick, Jr. playing piano and singing the vocals. The big band arrangement by Marc Shaiman shines brightly as this grand music flows so silky smooth through your speakers. "Our Love Is Stay" gets the Latin slow dance treatment with Frank Wess on tenor saxophone and Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums. Harry and the musicians are in total synchronicity for this number--I love it!
Other special tracks on this CD include the high octane arrangement for the instrumental rendition of "Stompin' At The Savoy;" the bluesy "But Not For Me" with its excellent orchestral arrangement and the angst expressed by words and music in the number entitled "Don't Get Around Much Anymore." Moreover, "Autumn In New York" boasts a great arrangement for piano--and as always on this CD, Harry plays it to perfection!
"Let's call The Whole Thing Off" begins with Benjamin Jonah Wolfe on a brief bass solo; and Harry joins in singing marvelously. Once again we get a beautiful arrangement by Marc Shaiman--awesome!
The CD ends with an instrumental rendition of "It Had To be You" which gets a faster cabaret-type beat than it received on the first track of this CD as well as the romantic, pensive number entitled "Where Or When" performed by Harry Connick, Jr. The piano solo for "Where Or When" moves me and I'm sure that you'll love it, too.
Congratulations to Harry Connick, Jr. on his coup with this album; and the arrangements by Marc Shaiman impress me greatly.
The liner notes feature the song credits and there is a brief essay by Rob Reiner, director and producer of When Harry Met Sally. You get some great color still photos from the film, too.
Harry Connick, Jr. and these exceptional musicians weave a magic spell to create a remarkably professional album. This CD gives you a festival of music you won't forget anytime soon. I highly recommend this CD for fans of classic pop vocals; and fans of Harry Connick, Jr. will love every moment of this CD.
