Great Love Songs, The - 101 Strings Orchestra

Advantages: great big band music
Disadvantages: none

...in Japan, Dubai, Russia, Uruguay and Spain. Ray McVay and the Glenn Miller Orchestra also have a web site that tells you where they are playing and where you can see them, this website is very helpful as you can also place requests for certain songs should you be going to one of their many concerts or if you want a dedication at the concert. Ray McVay loves to see the guests dance in the isles. The concert is well preformed, with great information about Glenn Miller and how the music came about. This Orchestra plays for around about an hour and a half, with a 30 minute break in the middle. The singers and the musicians are some of the best around and this is noticeable with they way that they play their instruments. All the musicians wear American Second World War uniforms. Would I recommend? I am little bios here as Ray Mc... Read review

Disadvantages: Differences of opinion about greatest hits.

On this album he sticks entirely to songs with both words and music by Cole Porter, and the track list includes some of the greatest songs of the early-mid twentieth century. It is hard to dispute the greatness of 'It's All Right With Me', 'Just One of Those Things' and particularly the heartbreakingly simple 'Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye.' With arrangements by Larry Blank, he is accompanied by a large, accomplished orchestra - the Pro Arte Orchestra of London. The strings section is particularly beautiful on 'In the Still of the Night'. So this should be an incredible CD, right? Sadly, wrong. I really wish it was. I can't pinpoint where the problem lies.
