3.0 out of 5 stars Not For Purists, September 22, 2004

If you have an ear for the original recordings, then this collection is not for you. On tracks like "The Rabbit of Seville" the switch from the original soundtrack to the modern re-recording is both jarring and unsatisfying. If you loved the "live" show then this may bring back some memories for you. If you want to hear the original performances of the great music from Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, I recommend "The Carl Stalling Project" instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, March 21, 1999

This review is from: Bugs Bunny on Broadway (Audio CD)

I'm a big fan of Bugs Bunny (I've seen every single cartoon of his that I know of) so when I saw this, I had to buy it. And, I'm kind of glad I did, but at the same time, I wish I didn't. There are two SUPERB songs on the CD. One is "What's Opera, Doc?" (Which is also my favorite cartoon of all-time) and "The Rabbit of Seville." (Another one of my fave cartoons) But a lot of the others just aren't that good. I recommend this CD to anyone who loves the two cartoons I listed above, it's well worth the price.

This review is from: Bugs Bunny on Broadway (Audio CD)

I have seen the Bugs Bunny On Broadway Concert countless times now, and although the animation is incredible, the music steals the show. And this incredible CD does that music justice. As a scholar of the cartoons of Chuck Jones and the music of Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn, I was stunned and amazed at the care which went into re-creating and restoring these miraculous cartoon scores completely to their original orchestrations. And although the original voice characterizations and sound effects come shining through, the modern digital recording of these monumental cartoon scores truly allows one to appreciate the considerable and brilliant orchestration and compositional abilities of Stalling and Franklyn. They were true masters of their art, and this exceptional recording presents their music as never before showcased. You will never be able to listen to a cartoon score in the same way again. Yes, the original cartoons and their original musical recordings have an undeniably manic quality all their own. But this modern recording, performed by top-notch symphony players, finally allows these miniature cinematic jewels to be heard in their true glory. A must buy, and a great companion to the Stalling Project recordings.
