Masters and Commanders: Music from Seafaring Film Classics, a Telarc release by conductor Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops, is this week's new arrival on the Billboard classical chart, making its debut at no. 9. This disc features selections from the scores of such films as (among others) Pirates of the Caribbean, The Sea Hawk, Mutiny on the Bounty, Captains Courageous, and, naturally, Master and Commander. Masters and Commanders is a swashbuckling musical portrait of valiant seamen, tempestuous captains, eccentric pirates, pious pilgrims and more.
