There's nothing particularly funny about
Volume 2
of
Naxos
'
Classics at the Movies: Comedy
, but it does feature some solid performances of
classical
pieces that happened to be used in Hollywood
comedies
like
The Big Lebowski
,
Trading Places
, and
A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy
. Compositions from
Mozart
Mendelssohn
Verdi
Puccini
are among the works appearing here, performed by an assortment of symphony orchestras, soloists, and vocalists. ~ Johnny Loftus
