Richard Rodgers always considered Carousel his favorite score, even though it didn't generate the number of popular hits of some of the other shows he produced with lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II. Their adaptation of the Ferenc Molnar play Liliom is marked by three especially sublime moments. "The Carousel Waltz," Rodgers's alternative to the traditional Broadway overture, serves as an orchestral backdrop to the opening scene and is one of the best miniatures ever written for the theater. "If I Loved You," which establishes the romance of carnival barker Billy Bigelow (Gordon MacRae, a late replacement for Frank Sinatra) and nice girl Julie Jordan (Shirley Jones), is a musical minidrama in which the pair's discussion of how they are not in love reveals just how much they are in love. "Soliloquy" is Billy's powerful solo that foreshadows the action to come in Act II. Add the inspirational anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone," and you have Rodgers and Hammerstein's most extraordinary, near-operatic score. On the soundtrack for the 1956 film, MacRae and Jones are in exceptional voice (following their success in 1955's Oklahoma) and the orchestra sounds glorious, but unfortunately some of the numbers were shortened, most notably "If I Loved You." Extensive production notes, an interview with Jones, and a synopsis are included. --David Horiuchi

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME!!.......2007-05-12

LOVE SOUND TRACTS FROM OLD MOVIES - SING ALONGS AND THE BEST ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING AND CAN SING LOUD. IT IS A KEEPER

4 out of 5 stars MacRae and Jones soar in this tragic R&H musical.......2007-02-11

This film adaptation of Carousel came shortly after the Oklahoma! film and reunited Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones. Although the film was not well-received at the box office, the soundtrack shows MacRae, Jones and the superb cast performing their roles to their heart's content. Their performance helps bring out the pathos in this tragic R&H musical, which Rodgers himself considered his favourite of all his works.

MacRae shines vocally as Billy Bigelow, bringing an open-hearted musicality and sincerity to his stout-hearted portrayal. MacRae stands out in Billy's pivotal Soliloquy, which some reviewers have considered one of the finest vocal performances of the 20th century. He is well-partnered by Shirley Jones, who lends her tender voice and personality to her portrayal as Julie. Listen to the chemistry they exude during the pivotal If I Loved You duet, as if they're overcoming their shyness and drawing sustenance from each other with their love. The supporting cast also gives its all in performing their roles. Claramae Turner's hearty Nettie brims with sincerity, warmth and tenderness, and she leads a rousing rendition of June is Bustin' Out All Over and renders You'll Never Walk Alone touchingly. Barbara Ruick and Robert Rounseville are superb as Carrie and Mr. Snow, although I admit I would have liked a little more humour. I also admit I would have liked Cameron Mitchell as Jigger to sound more sinister, like Fisher Stevens did in the 1994 Broadway revival recording. But even as it is, everyone sings gloriously and is given sumptuous backing from Alfred Newman's superb arrangements and the 20th-Century Fox Orchestra, when it shines out in the ballets.

If I'm adding to the praise of these critic-proof performance, you'll wonder, why am I giving only 4 stars? Well, it's because the extra sound effects from the unreleased sequences tend to jar after a while. I know some of you are complaining that the dance sequences are plagued by extraneous sound effects and noise. I share the same feelings too and also wish that the producers had utilised the original studio pre-recordings for a sumptuous listening experience. However, let us at least be grateful that Didier Deutsch and his production team have made these unreleased sequences available on a soundtrack CD reissue. At least it's a step in the right direction before the entire canon of R&H film soundtracks (yes, including South Pacific and The Sound of Music) gets its due as deluxe 2-CD sets, complete with underscore.

However, don't let this gripe dissuade you from buying this soundtrack. It offers a complete musical experience that one could only dream of in the previous CD reissues of the soundtrack. And it demonstrates the element that Rodgers & Hammerstein were discovering in their musicals.

5 out of 5 stars Great Music.......2007-01-04

Rogers and Hammerstein were in a different league when it came to writing musicals. Their music, lyrics and story are never alike. These two partners were exceptional and their music shows it. Carousel is a tragic story but also shows that human nature can rise above adversity. The music is wonderful and the characters believable. A great movie.

5 out of 5 stars Response to David Pabian's review below.......2004-06-30

Response to David Pabian's review:

My review was not in error, as Mr. Pabian expects. The review was for the original CD release, not this expanded version. Amazon lifted it out of that spot and dropped it here, which of course makes it anachronistic. Why they did it without reading it is certainly an inept decision.

3 out of 5 stars Gummed up an Original.......2003-06-10

This overblown "completeitis" has got to stop. The original soundtrack album Carousel Waltz is now relegated to Appendix status, and terrible sonics accompany dancers' footstomping in the "new" expanded musical sequences, taken directly from the soundtrack rather than from still-existing musical tracks. There was a reason soundtrack recordings were studio performances. The proportions were right, the timings were correct for an overall BALANCED listening experience. These gawdawful expanded editions, often with dialogue thrown in, completely throw off those balances. An argument might be made for expanded sequences appropriate to a CDs longer playing time than the standard L.P. 45min., but possibly only if those sequences are from their original studio-recorded, pre release-print mix -- which could have easily been done in this case. A quick word on one of the above reviews: This is not the first time the complete Carousel Waltz is heard in stereo. There were two previous CD remasterings of the original soundtrack whereon it was included. And the reprise of "If I loved You" was part of every soundtrack release, mono and stereo.

5 out of 5 stars Great coverage of a great era.......2001-08-10

1969-70 may not have been a good era for the country (Vietnam, Kent State, etc), but it was a very good era for Soul music. Songs like "grazing in the Grass," "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time" (check out the intro), "Oh Happy Day," and yes, "Color Them Father" and "A rainy Night In Georgia" (the last two are known mostly to those who remember AM radio at the time). If you were there, you'll love this collection. If you weren't there, this is a great intro. Enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars "Songs That Will Live On For Always".......2000-10-21

These are timeless treasures, songs that will live on forever. They remind us of the good days when good songs were worth listening to and become a part of our daily lives. We will never get any group as good as the Winstons. They did not stay around for a long time but they gave the world a song entitled, "Colour Him Father," that is the greatest tribute to fathers and men in general. I wish the present day artists and songwriters would listen to this collection before they start their next project, it would make listening to music fun again.

5 out of 5 stars if you cant dig this one you are dead........1999-10-24

you just cant say anything bad about a collection that has going in circles AND color him father in it. when brook benton sez feels like its raining all over the world, you almost feel damp. even if you didnt dig soul you would dig this album. it came from a time before miriah careys "notes per square inch" style, and lyric were sung, in harmoney no less, and not rapped out with a lot of mutha fukahs and canned drums. check it out and remember the magic of a.m. radio.

5 out of 5 stars Color Him Father is the most beautiful tribute to a father.......1999-04-09

Out of print for many years Color Him Father, heard on WCBS-FM in New York on occassion is the 50's equivilent of Dan Fogelberg's Leader of the Band.

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

5 out of 5 stars 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!

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

5 out of 5 stars 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!

5 out of 5 stars Best TV Soundtrack.......2005-01-09

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

5 out of 5 stars 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!!

4 out of 5 stars Stereolab fans, take note.......2007-01-10

Another spin-off from Stereolab, with less in common with its source than Laeticia's side-project Monade (Which is also worth a listen, particularly "A Few Steps More"). This one is from their bassist, Simon Johns, and draws a bit from Stereolab's hypnotic riffing style, but new vocalist Mary Hampton has a cleaner, lighter soprano voice...and I'd say this stands on its own merits. Fans of Adventures in Stereo might find it familiar territory, though the song structures are generally more complex and elaborated upon. Recommended. "Trinity Neon", their initial effort, isn't as strong, a band finding its footing; Half of its tracks are instrumentals, and as with Monade, not up to its sophomore effort. Those who love "Blow It Up" and Stereolab completists may want to check it out.

5 out of 5 stars Soul Music The Way It Should Be.......2006-05-08

Now THIS is music. Nothing that's out on the radio today can compete with what they call "old school" music. Listen to "Band Of Gold" by Freda Payne, "Love On A Two-Way Street" by The Moments, or "The Bells" by The Originals and you'll see what I mean. "The Bells" is the prettiest song on this CD; the harmonies are breathtaking, the lyrics will break your heart, and the instrument arrangement, with the harp and bells, is divine.
This CD should be required listening for any artist or group that's even contemplating getting into the music biz.

5 out of 5 stars Captures a very good year for Soul Music.......2001-08-10

This CD concentrates on some sweet soul hits from 1970, a very good year for music that was kind to the ear. Here we have "Ooh Child" by the 5 Stairsteps,. a beautiful, warm tune that is my personal favorite song of all time. We also have "Love Land" by Charles Wright, who wasn't one o my favoirte artists but this was a damn good tune. The enclosed version of 'Love on a 2 Way Street" by the moments is the short version, not the one with the classic ending "Bye Bye baby, bye bye." And there;s "Love Won;t Let me Be Lonely" by the Freinds of Distinction, with it's tempo changes that flow quite well. All in all, a first class collection from a very good year for this music.

This time about, our friends at Rhino take us to what Soul radio stations were playing in 1971-72. Lou Rawls "Natural Man" is a wonderful song that is seldom heard today (perhaps because of it's dated theme). The ever popular "Thin Line Between Love In Hate" is here and so is The Dramatics marvelous "What you see is What You Get." Enjoy! Classic Soul rules and gangsta rap stinks!

5 out of 5 stars great, great!!!.......2006-12-05

This is the way ,I think, Purcell should sound. No pomp and surcomstance but only great music.

5 out of 5 stars ALL THE MUSIC YOU EVER NEED!!.......2003-05-23

This boxed set is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. As a Purcell freak, this hits every button I have. The cast of characters include the inequitable Robert King, New College Choir, Bowman, and a host of other venerable persons. Likewise the attention to period performance of these works makes it an essential addition to the library of any serious anglophile/Musicologist etc. Now if only the Britten Realizations of all Purcell's songs could be recorded alongside the originals! You will Love this set!

    What a great cd!!!!! Every song is a timeless classic, especially Proud Mary!!!! My favorite songs on this album are Right on the Tip of My Tongue, Deeper and Deeper, and I love You(for all seasons). I recommend this cd to anyone who would like to hear good songs from the 1970s!!!!!!!!!!

    4 out of 5 stars Great One-Hit Wonders From The Last Golden Years of Soul.......2000-02-22

    Rhino Records released "Didn't It Blow Your Mind" series of one-shot R&B hits as a companion to its "Have A Nice Day" 70s pop song series. Wisely, "Didn't It" comes without the smirking irony many of "Have"'s musical cheese puffs deserved.

    This is because of the greater music quality here. Those who've heard King Floyd's "Groove Me" on the body soap commercials will marvel as its stop-start groove spreads over a too-short three minutes. Two gorgeous ballads, the Fuzz' "I Love You For All Seasons" and the shimmering Philly soul of Brenda & The Tabulations "Right on The Tip of My Tongue," matched up to more socially-concious fare from two Brunswick-label soul groups, the Chi-Lites and the Lost Generation (with the gimmicky "Sly, Slick, & Wicked") Outstanding (non-Aretha) female voices come to the fore here as they wouldn't for another five years: Tina Turner (on "Proud Mary"), Jackie Moore (the disco fave "Precious Precious"), Mavis Staples (with Pops and family on Bobby Bloom's "Heavy Makes You Happy") even Sly Stone's sister on "Somebody's Watching You." Things are a little un-PC on the two Chairman of the Board songs, but hey, guys were like that then. This is a fine collection of transitional soul that, as with many Rhino collections, beats collecting out-of-print singles yourself.
