“The Movie Songbook” is a lovingly crafted selection of music from the movies and is just catchy from the opening track “Xanadu”. The joy of "The Movie Songbook" is how the mood can instantly change within a couple of songs. I find this great to listen to in the evening or at night. One second you could easily be singing along while working, typing or whatever you’re up to; the next you're listening quietly to a passionate and resolute track with the lights off hoping the atmosphere will mellow from the darkness. Once you've had a moody, solemn moment it jumps back to bouncy, rhythmic music and vocals which are fondly performed. Spiteri can really hit the high notes. And there are some exceptional piano pieces in the work which you should keep an ear out for. If you love compilations of famous movie songs performed by someone who knows the films, enjoys the work and can sing exceptionally well, Spiteri is rather fantastic for the job.
