Not as good as I hoped
I took a chance on buying this cd because of the rave reviews. Out of 44 songs, only about 14 songs made my list. If you are a child from the 50's, 60's or maybe early 70's, then this cd is for you. I will stick with the love songs from the 80's.

Wonderful Collection of Wedding Music--Appeals to All Ages
My wife and I purchased this Wedding Album, with the entire family (both sides) in mind. We also created a collection of our own Favorites, as well. We used "The Wedding Album" to compensate for our taste in music, and appease the rest of the family. However, we were surprisingly Pleased with "The Wedding Album," as well--the music is Classic and the quality is great. Everyone at the Reception loved this 2-CD collection of lovely songs. This was a perfect investment, for the Big Day.
Considering the fact that our Wedding was scheduled for September 15th, 2001....and considering the circumstances surrounding that time period (9/11), I believe this collection of music saved the day, in regards to the Mood of the Reception.
The nostalgic melodies smoothed-over the shattered nerves of most of the attendees. In fact, it was very-much like stepping back in time. The older family members thoroughly enjoyed the music, the younger generations enjoyed the tunes, as well, my Masonic friends enjoyed the music very much--this album worked for all ages / generations.
Luckily, we recently had the opportunity to use this album again, for my wife's Brother. Once-again, the album set the mood and did a wonderful job of appeasing all generations. The lucky couple were barely out of high school and they truly enjoyed the music, also.
I strongly recommend this album for Weddings. You really can't go wrong with this collection. I am very, very glad I purchased this album for the Wedding, instead of a 1 CD collection--this set gives you adequate time for the Reception--especially, if you think-ahead and bring one or two other albums. My wife and I used this collection plus one 120 minute tape full our favorite songs and "Special" songs.
If this collection can keep the mood festive and happy, a few days after 9/11, then it should be able to handle the usual jitters, nervousness & family weirdness that all Weddings inspire.
This album paid for itself, twice.

This is the perfect mix
The "wedding album, music for lovers" is a perfect mix of all the favorites your parents brought you up on. All the songs are by the original artist which makes this even more wonderful, especially in this day and age when everything is being re-recorded by someone else. I'm looking forward to using this at my reception soon where there will be a wide range of ages, from teen's to seniors in there 60's and 70's. I know this will be a great crowd pleaser that will remind the older folks of their wedding perhaps, yet be well liked by the younger generations. After the wedding though, this makes the perfect relaxing or romantic evening at home with your new spouse. The only thing is that the "relaxing evening at home" tempo is about the same for all the songs which gets a little old. If you choose this for your wedding, make sure to get an up beat mix too.

Great CD for your reception

TZIGANI!
This is truly intoxicating and heady music. If you imagine a brass band (usually synonomous with 'military' music), shaken hard, a rhythm section as tight as can be, playing what can only be equated to a gypsy version of speed metal - you still don't come anywhere close to describing how breathtaking this group plays. I saw them live 3 months ago in london, and the nearest description i can give is like being in a east european rhythmic earthquake. This band plays on the edge of the believable and is probably what the devil listens to when throwing a party. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...

exuberant and mesmerizing musica tiganeasca
Uplifting, tight and captivating rom music, played with anincredible speed in an upbeat tempo. The rythm, propelled by drivingpercussions, tight tuba and woven together with blazing, butoccasionally dreamy, clarinet, trumpet and saxophone solos, compells dance movement. This exuberant melange of various Balkan and Turkish styles has also elements of klezmer in it. A great follow-up to Fanfare Ciocarlia's first CD "Radio Pascani". Buy it and play it loud and often!

A Great Party Album!
It is almost impossible to believe that people can play as fast and as tight as Fanfare Ciocarlia. These twelve guys can play like no one else I've ever heard. The music is not only fast, but beautiful and uplifting. This is definitly one of the best albums of 2000!

Baro Biao:World Wide Wedding
I now have both CD's by Fanfare Ciocarlia...and I find that if you want "bouncy" upbeat brass band music in an Eastern European manner, thisx is the type of music to have.The music is addicting and once started, your feet will not stay still! There is a problem...trying to find these CD's! ... Read more

Swinging classics to get the big band "feel" on one CD!
Cool, swinging classics that will spark memories of wartime heroes, the Andrew Sisters, Glenn Miller and his Orchestra, and old-time original radio. A "classic" collection of Big Band tunes that will provide wide-range charm and nostalgia much to your wedding guests' delight. These songs are ideal as "dinner music" to please the palate and get your guests "warmed up" for the "big gig" dance celebration. Enjoy! ... Read more
