Sleeping Beauty soundtrack

Thanks to all this talk of Disney (all three lines), I'm going to post the soundtrack to Sleeping Beauty, which is my favorite Disney princess movie. And it's got the best prince and villain. Ha ha.

It's a lush and gorgeous orchestration from George Bruns, who worked off of Tchaikovsky's ballet score. Mary Costa sings the parts of Aurora. It's classic Disney, really very lovely.

Two decades after releasing the world's first soundtrack recording with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney achieved another milestone by releasing Sleeping Beauty, the world's first stereo soundtrack album. Nominated for an Oscar in 1959, George Bruns's lilting orchestral score was adapted from the Tchaikovsky ballet and recorded in Germany, where the most state-of-the-art recording equipment could be found. (Disney spared no expense on the tale of Aurora and Maleficent--it cost a then-unheard-of $6 million to make the film.) Featuring Mary Costa's ethereal vocals on "Once upon a Dream" and "I Wonder," Sleeping Beauty's combination of songs and score set a standard that soundtrack releases would follow for decades to come. --Bill Forman
I'll be using Megaupload again because Rapidshare has been taking forever to upload. . .
