Hit: 4 Stars
Many people have complained that this CD is short, and it is --- 31.5 minutes. On top of that, as is true with most film scores, there are really only three or four themes, with variations in instrumentation, tempo, etc. (you'll hear "The Godfather Waltz" a LOT), and most of the cuts are fairly short.
Yet this is a terrific score, and it's very well performed, as well as any album of the material. There's a lightness to the instrumentation, unlike, say, the syrupy strings of Carmine Coppola's arrangements. There's a charming use of folk instrumentation: mandolin, accordion, trumpet. It's a real winner.
My advice is to buy it used. I got a like new copy for $5.99 (shipping included) from Amazon Marketplace, and at that price, it's worth every penny.
You might also want to start a campaign --- see if a little consumer pressure could be put on Paramount or MCA to search the vaults and release a new GODFATHER soundtrack CD with 15 extra minutes of music. Be forewarned, though: 10 of those minutes will be more of "The Godfather Waltz."
Free Music Review: An excellent soundtrack but I wish it had......
Hit: 4 Stars
I think this is an excellent soundtrack....I listen to it almost everyday. My favorite track is probably number 7. The only downfall of this soundtrack is that I wish it had the song "Manhatten Serenade" I'm pretty sure that's what it is called. I don't know why but I liked that song a lot and thought it would be on the soundtrack....if it had that song I would give it 5 stars. Anyway if I could I would give this soundtrack 4 1/2 stars. It is great and good to listen to over and over. It is definitly worth purchasing...Free Music Review: One important track is missing
Hit: 4 Stars
In the original film there is an excellent track called "Manhattan Serenade" (I think). Basically it's the music that accompanies Hagen on his flight to see Woltz. It's a Beutiful recording and one I thought would have been a must for this CD Regards Craig
