2.0 out of 5 stars Beware Discoforme CDs...find another soundtrack, January 31, 2006

What a rip-off! Discoforme, the maker of this soundtrack and others, makes no effort to highlight the music from this film, it just takes the unadorned soundtrack and reproduces it without any refining or editing...spits on the fine music by Max Steiner and gives you ongoing chatter. A very lazy and negligent method and that gives you a total of about 10 minutes of music and 35 minutes of yada type talking ON EVERY TRACK. This spoiled the CD for me. If I wanted all that talking, I would have bought the DVD. Interestingly, the actual CD lists the talking excerpts on every track, but they are not listed on Amazon. This is obviously the Discoforme way/method/shortcut, as another CD, "The Third Man", bought at the same time, and also by Discoforme, does the exact same thing, giving you ongoing CHATTER. Both are marked *50th ANNIVERSARY*. Do not buy either CD, and beware of the DISCOFORME trademark.

4.0 out of 5 stars fabulous, April 8, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Young Man With a Horn (Audio CD)

If it was not for the poor sound quality, I would give 5 stars.
This is the original soundtrack recording, not the re-recording issued by Columbia Legacy. Doris Day is simply divine. Her best track is The Very Thought Of You.She not only sings, she coos
and caresses the lyric, very much Sinatra does with his ballads.

>Im a devoted longtime fan of Harry James and his Orchestra. I
first saw the film 'Young Man With A Horn' more than thirty five
years ago when already it was an old movie rerun on late night TV. It features soaring-wonderful-renditions of old jazz standards played by Harry James; but you see actor Kirk Douglas
pretending to actually play the trumpet, in the role of famous
jazz-star, Bix Viderbeck-a short lived great. Douglas's very good acting-paired with beautiful Doris Day's marvelous singing;
joined by a strong supporting cameo-role of sultry-siren, supplied by Lauren BaCall-creates a vivid,sad and realistic story of a young raw talent who becomes an overnight success...
Only to succumb to wrack and ruin in self-torturing fashion.
Bix at last comes to his senses at the end of the movie, enjoying
a brief and glorious comeback; realizing finally that his original dream of making beautiful-dazzeling-music with the right people are what put a song in his heart and made it all
possible in the first place. 'Young Man With A Horn' is a splendidly told "rags to riches" story, told in the professional
way that only 'Old Hollywood' could and DID deliver...I highly
recommend this music CD and film; 'Young Man With A Horn' for
everyone who loves oldtime jazz and anyone who yearns for an old
fashioned romantic black an white poignant bittersweet melodrama that has a happy ending...That entertains you along the way! The soundtrack is just as dynamic as the film itself!
Swonderful! Smarvelous!
