Jim Brickman does an awesome job "brickmanizing" the Disney classics. The songs on this cd bring back so many memories, from being a kid to being an adult with kids. Jim plays outstanding and does justice to the Disney songs. Accompanying Jim are Wayne Brady singing "Beautiful", Michael Bolton "Hear Me", Tracy Silverman does an awesome job on the electrical violin accompanying Jim especially with "Beauty and the Beast" and "Can You Fell The Love Tonight" from the Lion King. Lila McCann sings "When I See An Elephant Fly" from Dumbo. Jim does a wonderful Mary Poppins Medley. Jim plays magically with "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes", "Some Day My Prince Will Come' and ends with "When You Wish Upon A Star". You can envision Walt Disney talking on the show as he did in the 1960's. This CD brings back so many memorable moments with the Disney Classics. You will truly enjoy this CD.

I have been looking for this CD for a long time, and I bought it in a CD shop near my university yesterday. I think this is the best album of Jim Brickman, but not only because I'm a huge Disney fan.
I'm so happy that there is a lyric paper went with the CD, because I have been looking for the lyric of "Beautiful". However, my favorite track is "Beauty and the Beast". Even though it's without vocal and lyric, it's still so romantic, the sound of piano even made it more romantic! The track "Mary Poppins Medley" is also one of the best, some well-known Mary Poppins songs get together and played by piano, it gives me an all-new feeling, even better that the original in the movie. Before I listened to this album, I couldn't imagine how the track "Cruella De Vil" was, but I found it's wonderful when I listened to it, the initial comical feeling hasn't lost because of without vocal! I didn't like songs from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" before, but "Someday My Prince Will Come" in this album is very beautiful, then I realized that a Disney song can be more wonderful while it's without vocal. "When You Wish Upon A Star" is pretty good, the sound of piano feels just like the sound of shinning stars in the sky. "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" is good, but the beginning of this track made me a little confused. "Reflection" is very different from my anticipation, the principal tune seems lost, but it still gives me a different and good feeling.
In the songs with vocals, "Beautiful" is one of the best. Before I hear this original version, I have heard the Christmas Version in "Disney Princess Christmas Album" and all my roommates love this very much. The 2 versions have the same melody and rhythm but different lyric, but the romantic feeling is just the same! "Baby Mine" is the best in my opinion, it's warm and gentle, it makes me cry easily. "When I See An Alephant Fly" is good too, the tune has been changed a lot, but the wonderful feeling it gives me hasn't changed at all! I have never heard the song "I'm Amazed" before, maybe it's just as "Beautiful", it's not a song from Disney movies. However, it's tune and lyric is just great as every Disney song's.
Well, this album is wonderful, Jim Brickman takes us into a magical Disney world by playing piano. I bet every Disney fan won't miss this great album and the wonderful feeling it brings!

Amazing...is the word and being a disney fan really puts this cd at the top of one of my favorites! I love jim brickman's overall atmosphere of his music. Truly an inspiration to many people, especially me. This definately is worth buying for anyone of all ages!

I purchased this CD last week at a Jim Brickman concert and I have listened to it almost every day since then. It is truly an inspired collection of old and new songs with the perfect balance of vocals and instrumentals. The new songs, "Beautiful" and "I'm Amazed" are really lovely.

I am a great fan of Jim Brickman and as usual he has not disappointed me.
All of the Disney favories sound great! I would definitely recommend this CD to all.

This CD is absolutly amazing. The talent displayed by Jim Brickman and all the other vocalists on the CD is superb.

This is an amazing CD. I ran into it accidently and wow...I'm pretty amazed. I am a sucker for disney music playing on the piano and Jim Brickman really does a fantastic job. I only wish I knew where I could find more cds like this one. If you know...e-mail me USFTrev@gmail.com :)

Gave this to my daughter for Christmas. She has thoroughly enjoyed it. I have also listened to it several times and find it very enjoyable. I can highly recommend this CD.

I never thought the beloved Disney classics I grew up with could get any better, that is until they got "Brickman-ized".
Jim has managed to put his trademark emotive solo piano style and taken Disney classics to new heights.
A couple Brickman originals, "Beautiful" with Wayne Brady and "I'm Amazed" with Lila McCann prove Disney is not the only place magic lives!
This CD is sure to be a family friendly favorite.

I love this CD! Will buy others by this artist...love the Disney music..wonderful to listen to anytime and a great CD to share with others.
