Victory at Sea (1989) The highlight of this CD is the recording of some of the music that was so popular from the "Victory at Sea" TV series that aired on NBC about WWII. With it come some old favorites, and together they make a great CD. William Tritt once again performs the piano for the Cincinnati Pops. ****

Hollywood's Greatest Hits II (1993) This collection has tracks from some of the biggest releases in Hollywood's history. Its only drawback is the inclusion of a few pieces that really don't belong in the "classics" category, especially the last two tracks. Otherwise, a fine album for knowledgable ears. ****
