Title: Tasteless
Review: Of course Nino Rota's score for the Godfather is superlative, which is what makes this CD such a disappointment. Given that Carmine Coppola is conducting, the renditions are shockingly ersatz; as if the music was being performed by 101 strings orchestra or something. I find the rendition tasteless, alternately infused with muzak and bombast. In my judgment the feel of the music is way off. If you listen to music through a clock radio while doing dishes, fine. But if you are a connoisseur of fine music intelligently and tastefully performed, I don't think you are going to like this CD.
