Movie Reviews of Broadway's Best at Pops
Movie Review: A FIVE STAR WINNER
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all I want to admit that I have been a Boston Pops fan for many years. As I live in England I have only have managed to see the orchestra twice when they visited these shores - once conducted by Arthur Fiedler and once conducted by Erich Kunzel. These were wonderful occasions and it made one feel one should move to Boston straight away to join in the fun at Symphony Hall. This DVD illustrates my point beautifully with highlights from 'Evening at Pops' TV broadcasts by WGBH over a 35 year period. The theme is 'Pops on Broadway' and all the performances are wonderful. If I had to pick favourites they would be Tommy Tune,Gregory Hines, Bernadette Peters, Audra McDonald and the magnificent Ethel Merman.
But the daddy of them all is the tribute to Leroy Anderson and his arrangement of George Gerswhin's music for 'Girl Crazy'. One is treated to some wonderful video editing when three separate recordings conducted by Arthur Fiedler, John Williams and Keith Lockhart are woven into one tour de force performance. Great stuff and it highlights the glorious rapport the orchestra has had over the years with their famous conductors. The DVD is worth it for this performance alone.
I would like to end by making two requests:-
1.To WGBH TV Boston - please can you issue more Boston Pops DVD.
2.To RCA records - Please could you reissue in CD format the two albums
of Chet Atkins with the Boston Pops. I have worn my LP'S out.
