The Magnificent Westerns Reviews:
wonderful! 
2009-12-16 - These cd's were actually for my sister, but I have gotten to enjoy hearing them as well. They have an amazing selection, and have provided hours of enjoyment.
Wonderful Music
2009-08-24 - I actually got this for my dad as a present since he LOVES western movies. But I actually really like it too. I started listening to the music everyday after I got it because I liked it so much, and so does my dad. So bottom line, if you like western movies you will like this CD.
Service excellent, music very good 
2009-06-27 - Great music on one cd. I would have given it a 5 but I didn't like the vocals. Would be much better if all had been just music. Delivery of cd fast and as advertised.
The Magnificent Westerns
2009-01-30 - Just so it's clear "I KNOW THESE AREN"T ORIGINAL ARTIST"! Now that said this is a great compilation of the music of great Westerns on TV and movies. The orchestra does an above average job of imitating the original scores. You will have to listen with super quality headphones for hours to distinguish the subtle differences. If you are that "a" retentive then by all means find the original scores and pay far more to compile this collection. Otherwise suffice that this is a bargain for the number of songs and the caliber of the recreation of the movie scores.

Re-recordings disappointing 
2009-01-14 - I've only listened to 1 song from this CD, so feel free to mark this review negatively. But the other "one-star" review here on Amazon should be heeded -- these are re-recordings. The song I listened to (on Pandora) is entitled "Once Upon a Time in the West" and is based on tunes from that soundtrack. But the actual first half is from the piece "As a Judgment" and the second half is based on the film's overture. Both halves are re-done, and while not horrible, have lost a lot of power. The original As a Judgment, in particular, is a masterpiece so buy the original soundtrack! If you don't know these songs, you may be safe buying this CD because you won't be disappointed by the comparison. Still, I wonder how badly the other tunes have been mangled when re-recorded? I wouldn't take the risk of buying this CD unless I'd heard it entirely (not just Amazon samples).
