COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Weird Song Choice submitted by Meginator on August 21, 2021, 10:57am This album has the usual high quality you expect from a Boston Pops recording, but the song selection leaves much to be desired. Sure, the “Nutcracker” excerpts, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, and “Night on Bald Mountain” do appear in “Fantasia”, but this is only a technicality and I cannot comprehend why those in charge of the program opted to almost completely ignore Disney’s massive catalog of original songs for these oft-recorded pieces (Dukas excepted; that piece is so intimately connected with Mickey in the public imagination that it passes muster in my option). It’s baffling; even in the mid-1970s, the company had a rich musical legacy to draw from. So while the orchestra is top-notch, the abandonment of the “pops” part of the orchestra’s name is a bit of a disappointment in this context.
