5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Romantic Musical, October 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Oklahoma!: From The Soundtrack Of The Motion Picture (1955 Film) (Audio CD)

I think it's a very touching Romantic Music. The songs want you to get up and dance. Even though I'm 9 and a half I still know that it has wonderful Music. If you like this music you will like other Rodgers and Hammerstiens Music such as Carousal,King and I and Sound of Music. Thank you for reading my review and bye.

5.0 out of 5 stars OKLAHOMA! st is a classic corner stone to every collection!, July 4, 1999

This review is from: Oklahoma!: From The Soundtrack Of The Motion Picture (1955 Film) (Audio CD)

OKLAHOMA! was on best selling lists for years. It seems that everyone who grew up with LPs during 50s and 60s had a copy. It is the best recorded version of the show. JONES, McGRAE and the rest were all great. As is the full bodied Oscar winning scoring by Jay Blackton (although one wonders what someone like Alfred Newman would have done with this score). One of the earliest 12 inch stereo Lps unfortunatly has its downside. Because of space limitations some songs are edited. Other selections (reprises, finale, etc)are excluded all together. It would be wonderful if the original tracks could be recovered and a new expanded release be prepared. It would easily fill a 70 minute cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Rodgers & Hammerstein is classic!, August 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Oklahoma!: From The Soundtrack Of The Motion Picture (1955 Film) (Audio CD)

Although this collection contains only the songs of this classic film it is tremendous. Each song has been re-edited from the original tapes to get the best quality possible. The results are excellent. Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae sound breathtaking. The opening number is the Oveture, and boy does it take you right there (Oklahoma). Gordon MacRae sings the great "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" next and he never sounded better. My favorite song, "Surrey With A Fringe On Top," blew me away when I heard it. At the intro of the song, hoofsteps can be heard, what a great idea. The other classic songs are all included, to make the album complete. The end rounds out with the show-stoppin' title track, "Oklahoma." If you like R & H, or Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae, or just classic musicals, you just can't pass this one up, despite the omission of the instrumental stuff.
