Album Review

"Legend: Music of Myth, Magic, and Mystery" doesn't dig very deep for its cues -- selections from composers like Wagner, Orff, Sibelius, Holst, and Saint-Saëns are well known for triggering the feelings annotated in its title, whether in vintage cartoons or classic films like "Apocalypse Now", "2001: A Space Odyssey", and "Fantasia". It's a nice enough collection as primer, though, sort of a greatest hits of myth. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
