Title Note

Liner Note Author: Dawn Atkinson.

On CINEMA: A WINDHAM HILL COLLECTION, producer Dawn Atkinson brings together musicians from the Windham Hill label to play selections from popular films. There is a range of classics both older (Jim Brickman's piano treatment of "Over the Rainbow" from THE WIZARD OF OZ) and newer (Tracy Silverman's multi-tracked violin rendition of "Hedwig's Theme" from the first HARRY POTTER movie), in addition to themes from BAGHDAD CAF� (a chamber-style duet between oboist Paul McCandless and cellist Joan Jeanrenaud) and THE BLACK STALLION (played by George Winston on piano).

As Windham Hill aficionados might expect, the mood here is soothing, with each instrumentalist bringing a sense of space and balance to his or her treatment of the music. Alex de Grassi's "Theme from Princess Bride," for example, is plucked delicately on solo guitar with a light instrumental wash fleshing out the texture behind it. The beautiful "Summer Knows" (from SUMMER OF '42) is transformed into a breezy, rhythmic sway by Philippe Saisse. Overall, the pieces are well selected, the arrangements and performances are fresh and considered, and the music is subtle and relaxing.
