Two decades after releasing the world's first soundtrack recording with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney achieved another milestone by releasing Sleeping Beauty, the world's first stereo soundtrack album. Nominated for an Oscar in 1959, George Bruns's lilting orchestral score was adapted from the Tchaikovsky ballet and recorded in Germany, where the most state-of-the-art recording equipment could be found. (Disney spared no expense on the tale of Aurora and Maleficent--it cost a then-unheard-of $6 million to make the film.) Featuring Mary Costa's ethereal vocals on "Once upon a Dream" and "I Wonder," Sleeping Beauty's combination of songs and score set a standard that soundtrack releases would follow for decades to come. --Bill Forman

A little bit of nostalgia.......2004-10-25

For as long as I can remember, "Sleeping Beauty" has been my all-time favorite Disney movie, not only because of its incredible artwork (definitely the best from Classic Disney) but also because of the soundtrack. The music evokes the visual beauty of the artwork. It was adapted from Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty Ballet, and it is one of the most beautiful, emotional pieces of music I have ever heard. The score is spectacular, especially in the ending scenes (specifically, "A Fairy Tale Come True" and "Awakening"). "Sleeping Beauty" does not have as much songs as later Disney movies (such as "Aladdin" or "Beauty and the Beast") but its quality, not quantity. Mary Costa, who did the voice of Aurora, has a beautiful voice, I always had trouble imagining a real person being able to sing like that when I was younger. Unfortunately, the actual CD isn't available, but all the tracks can be found on the iTunes Music Store. If you're a fan of Disney movies, or just good music, I suggest buying it.

Best Disney Film Score.......2004-08-23

While I'm not always a big fan of the musical-esque style of Disney movies (although the kids love it, and that's what matters), Sleeping Beauty is one of the best orchestrated films I can remember. George Bruns does a brilliant job of arranging Tchaikovsky's score from the Sleeping Beauty ballet. The recording itself is decently remastered, and the small ensemble performing is excellent. Mary Costa's vocals are flawless and almost supernatural. If ever there were a disney soundtrack to own, this would be it.

laaaaaaaa de daaaaaaaaaaaa de daaaaaaaaaaaa de daaaa-laaaaaa.......2003-07-08

beautiful songs and a score adapted from Tychovski's famous ballet (it was nominated for the Oscar, you know). Mary Costa and Bill Shirley's voices are perfect for the Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip.

anyone who dont no like dis soundtrack, dey are gonna hafta answer tuh ME!!

Mary Costa as the Sleeping Beauty.......2002-05-30

This is a wonderful CD! It's very comprehensive; I can't think of any of the film's music that is missing from it. Mary Costa's vocals were what inspired to me to love coloratura music when I was very young. My brothers and I still sing "Skumps" when we drink anything together. The music is excellently recorded considering that the film debuted in the fifties. The liner notes and artwork are very attractive. I don't think the CD could be improved in any way. This soundtrack will please any Sleeping Beauty fan.

This is a very good soundtrack! It is one of my very favorites! You feel like you are right in the movie while listening to this.Lady and the Tramp soundtrack is also very good.

Its muscular aura of international intrigue informed by smart characters, sharp writing, and a sleek cinematic sense, the episodes of the hit Alias often seem more like a chapters of a successful movie spy franchise than mere network television series. Key to achieving that masterful illusion is young composer Michael Giacchino, whose soundtracks range across a dizzying range of musical styles and dramatic undercurrents. This anthology of cues from the show's first season incorporates shrewd, techno-savvy club beats, sweeping orchestral sequences of pounding action, brooding suspense worthy of Bond, and inventive indigenous music of indeterminate nationality. Firmly grounded in rich Hollywood traditions, yet hip enough to keep an ear cocked to pulsing, contemporary styles, Giacchino's TV scores often outshine those of the pricier, big budget Hollywood boilerplate he's competing with. --Jerry McCulley

question.......2006-04-25

ok, as most reviews, said, it is amazing and fits the show perfectly!
but...
does anyone know which episodes/scenes go with each song?
i've tried to watch and listen for them, but i get too into it!

Hear what u see.......2005-08-12

while listenin to this album in every track i feel like i can feel the energy and danger

Perfect soundtrack to a nearly perfect TV show.......2005-03-17

If Henry Mancini and Ferry Corsten collaborated on a TV soundtrack for a spy drama set in the 21st Century, the results couldn't be any better than Michael Giacchino's work on this CD. Giacchino can compose for an orchestra like the best of them, but he's also savvy enough to add a contemporary edge with multiple nods to electronica. Synth pads and drum loops are phased through various low-pass and comb filters on several selections here, resulting in a delicious, chewy-sounding percussive effect. Other reviewers have commented on this being a great exercise CD; I agree and would also add that this is a great CD for driving or browsing through glossy photo magazines.

My favorite pieces on the CD are "SD-6 Dance Party," "Red Hair is Better," and "Spanish Heist." I've no idea who the guitarist is on the latter two cuts, but he's quite good!

I recommend this first and foremost to anyone who fears that soundtracks are a dead medium; Giacchino's a challenging composer and takes some real risks. Alias fans will snatch this up (although it doesn't include any soundbites from the TV series), as will anyone willing to play both techno and retro lounge on their CD players. Completists may not be happy with this CD as none of the popular music heard in the show is reproduced here, nor is the torch song Jennifer Garner sang in one episode. But that's what future installments of Alias soundtrack CDs are for!

Best TV Soundtrack.......2005-01-09

This is well worth your money for any Alias fan, and it's better than most movie scores.

The Best soundtrack EVER from a TV series!.......2004-08-23

I think the title says it all, but it's true. I bought this CD knowing and loving the show and realizing just what the music adds to all of the highly enjoyable adrenaline rush scenes. This CD does not disappoint. I now exercise/kick box to it and if your pumped up by just watching the series, you'll really enjoy playing this CD in your car while driving....just try not to get a speeding ticket because the impulse to floor it will definately be there!!

An Enchanting Soundtrack.......1999-08-30

This is one of Dysney's finest music scores for a film. Using selections of Tchaikovski's Sleeping Beauty suite, and blending original voice music, it is one of those rare Dysney scores that actually turn out well. I recommend this soundtrack for any Dysney fan. I have not heard any greater score other than Beauty and the Beast. The lyrics are memorable and you can even dance to the music, since it is in fact a waltz. The dramatic selections are syncopated in Maleficent's themes and the love theme between Rose and her prince is unforgettable. This is just as good as Tchaikovski's rendition, so don't consider it a minor work.

wHAT A SHAME !.......1999-08-27

oF COURSE, mARY cOSTA'S VOICE IS A DELIGHTFULLY REFRESHING ONE... bUT FIRST, THIS ALBUM IS INCREDIBLY INCOMPLETE AND, SECOND, WHO WILL GIVE US MARY MARTIN'S SPARKLING PERFORMANCE, BOTH AS A NARRATOR AND AS A SINGER ?

A must for Disney collectors!.......1998-09-01

Every "Sleeping Beauty" fan will want this latest recording because it is incomplete! Whatever was left out from the last issue is probably here, but don't throw out those vinyls just yet. "Aurora" (soprano Mary Costa) gets cut-off in the middle of her first cantata! A huge chunk of Miss Costa's incredibly beautiful operatic passages (which are included in the video) have been completely edited due to "technical reasons". Balderdash, Mr. Producer! It's 1998, deal with it! Reconstruction treatments need make no apology, especially when they preserve a voice as beautiful and distinct as Mary Costa's. Nevertheless, album producer Randy Thornton deserves high marks for his technical contributions to this hodgepodge of a so-called "Disney musical". Marketing strategy tells me that the next re-issue will produce the corresponding "Never Before In Its Entirety!" soundtrack. In the meantime, this recording is a gem.

Director Norman Jewison's original 1975 Rollerball was an odd mix; half action thriller (about a future blood sport that crossbred the most violent aspects of roller derby and hockey), half futurist cautionary tale (about the dangers of all-encroaching corporate power and the decadent elite who wield it). In retrospect, it was all too prescient on both counts. It also marked one of the last major Hollywood forays of conductor-composer Andre Prévin, who conducted the film's pastiche of Bach (the ominous if clichéd Toccata and Fugue in D Minor served as the game's theme), Albinoni (the Adagio is the film's main theme), Tchaikovsky, and Shostakovich. The soundtrack was produced in the wake of Kubrick's epochal uses of classical music in scoring his near-future epics 2001 and A Clockwork Orange, and the inspiration and intent here is obvious. Previn added three brief cues of his own (the evocative, modernist "Glass Sculpture" and the kitschy funk-exotica of "Executive Party" and "Executive Party Dance"). With the London Symphony under his baton, the veteran Previn produces an effective version of the Adagio and wrings appropriate drama from the Russian works as well. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Executive Party.......2004-10-07

I bought this album for the psychedelic lounge "Executive Party" and "Executive Party Dance" tracks. Everything else is classical soundtrack fodder. Two cool tracks does not a cool album make.

It's almost worth having in your collection just for the sake of being odd (a classical album with spiked-gauntlet roller derby warriors in the liner notes?), if that's your thing. Just don't expect to listen to it.

If somebody knows of albums that capture the sound of the two tracks I mentioned above... THAT album would be golden.

Great Album.......2004-05-06

Previn scored a superb psychedelic funk track in "Executive Party Dance". Sparse, with great wah guitar and analogue synth, pick up this album for that track alone!!!

Preston's Tocata IS the Tocata!.......2002-06-28

I've loved Rollerball since I was 10 years old. It's one of my favorite movies of all time and a 70's Sci-Fi classic - truly underrated! I have the DVD and I watch it regularly and it grips me everytime. The Jewison commentary is awesome!

I managed to get a vinyl copy of the album a couple years ago. It was badly scratched, but I did not care.

Why I like the album is one simple reason - Preston's rendition of Tocatta & Fugue in D Minor. In my opinion, it IS the Tocata. No other version by any other artist compares. It was worth the whole album just for that.

It also teaches me that there is good in every situation. Although the re-make of the movie was not received well, without the re-make, I don't know if this CD would ever have been re-released.

Finally!!!.......2002-05-26

After hoping what seemed to be a pointless hope the soundtrack for the mid-70's masterful movie of the same name has reappeared out of nowhere. So Norman Jewison and others finally realized that movie soundtracks like this are hardly released anymore owing an exceptional quality to the enormous use of classical masterpieces on here? Once one knows the movie one relives the accompanying scenes upon playback. Bach's Tocatta in D minor played at nearly perfect pace( the piece is often sped up by organists the world over leaving out the reverberating omniscience of the chords), one imagines the clean silent rollerbal track before speed, blood, and power have been ridden over it. The soundtrack is worth it for this track alone. Several of Shostakovich's works, some more beautiful than others, as well as two seveties party-funk pieces composed by Andre Previn showing that the composer's talents were not only limited to the classical convervatorium of music, but that he also had a keen ear for the contemporary. One can imagine the decadent drugged out rollerballers and their girlfriends mingling with the executives in tuxedos with no-back dresses. The soundtrack is at once a homage to the tragedies of violence and power and their existential effects. The choice of music carries the sheer might of the game scenes as well the quiet reflections that pervade James Caan's character throughout the film.

An excellent sampler to get into classical music.......2002-07-02

So often we hear classical music in the movies and wonder "What is that called?" Well now it's here - a chance to find it and listen again to something that caught your ear and your heart. While normally I'm not a big fan of sampler complication albums, I love this set because of the breadth of works represented here. While not explicitly instructional (the liner notes are non-existent, and there is no real explanation of the works beyond their appearance in a specific movie), it lets you experience many famous, and lesser known pieces of classical music. Besides just giving you a nice album to put on and relax to, it also lets you find someone that you may not have heard before, listen to a piece and maybe go off in search of more by the same composer.

The bottom line is that for this price, you have a bargain of CD's of fine quality, and extraordinary breadth, with an anchor to the movies to help put them in a place. Besides, where else can you look for a specific film to try and find out what was that piece that is stuck in your head?

Ten cd's for one incredible price........2001-08-26

Not only do you receive an entire collection of ten cds for a phenomenal value, but you get the best classical music ever composed. These are songs that have been featured in widely popular films, including Apocalypse Now, which brought fame to Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries. This will make a priceless gift for any lover of the cinema or of classical music. All of the songs that are included range from a variety of eras. In addition, famous composers from Mozart to Strauss make an appearance in this musical collection. These songs will remind you of the great movies that you've seen.
