CD Reviews

Good, but they missed one!

"I believe this listed having all the songs from the Opening Ceremony, but it missed one of the best versions of "Hallelujah" I have ever heard. I'm not a big k.d. lang fan, but my whole family had goose bumps listening to her. Too bad this was not included on this album."

Outstanding...

"Vancouver's opening ceremonies were just outstanding musically. Joni Mitchell's gorgeous, haunting rendition of her BOTH SIDES NOW is here, and it's alone worth the price of the disc. This CD presents all the original music heard during the opening ceremonies, from original orchestral tracks to narration, Sarah MacLachlan's contribution and the upbeat Bryan Adams-Nelly Furtado power ballad. Wonderful!"

I Don't Get It, Do You?

"Like so many others, I was enthralled by the music of the opening ceremony and could hardly wait for the CD to be available for purchase. The disappointment that took over because K.D. Lang's haunting rendition of "Hallelujah" was missing ruined the excitement of receiving it and pretty much devalued the whole experience. What were they thinking???"
