I received the soundtrack very quickly from momzmedia. I needed it fast for a gift, and they got it to me fast. Great transaction.
But I think both are worth it. Well this clears things up a bit. If you loved this one, and have never heard the Beauty&Beast Broadway version, it's rather charming, too. I didn't recall buying the original broadway production, and that's 'cause I bought this one, although I received the Broadway version. Guess I'll have to give it another go. So, I liked it enough, apparently to try to buy it twice. lol(bought from go-hastings, check your products from there twice, 'kay).
A very enjoyable CD. Just a kid at heart still. That is what we expect from Disney & that is what we get. Although the movie is essentially a childrens story I know I enjoy it just as much as the grandkids do. The music score is just lovely to listen to & sing along with. A must for Grandparents to have in their collection.
Beauty and the Beast, along with The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, represent the pinnacle of Disney's "renaissance" scores. Menkin and Ashman developed this formula and Disney cranked out hits every year for over a decade. These lyrics are so smart, and the tunes are so catchy. I love the Parisian waltzes written for the most popular tunes on this album.
And there are some new additions to this collection that make it even more wonderful. This is an exciting and enjoyable CD overall. Included are all of your old favorites from the movie, including the wonderful score. "Human Again" is one of the new additions to this collection that I absolutely adore, and "Death of the Beast" is such a touching piece -- I'm so glad they opted to add these two songs to this special edition.It's a fun collection overall. I listen to it over and over and it never ceases to brighten my day.
