Free Music Notes for Gypsy (1962 Film Soundtrack)Free Music Review: Bravo! It's Back!
Bravo! It's back! I always thought that the 1962 "Gypsy" is the best "Gyspy" -- and its soundtrack is the best recording of the show, hands-down. The orchestrations are rich and full-bodied, unlike the tinny sound on the recordings of the various stage productions. While I was always intrigued by how Warner Bros.' music department interpolated the voices of Rosland Russell and Lisa Kirk into a seamless whole, I really appreciate hearing Roz go it alone, without any help on the outtakes. I do question the integrity, however, of their inclusion on the updated soundtrack. I don't think that they were ever meant to be heard outside of the the Warner Studios. The same thing happend to Audrey Hepburn and Natalie Wood when their vocal tracks from "My Fair Lady" and "West Side Story," respectively, were made available. All of these women would be the first to admit that they are not professional singers. You can hear them trying their best. But it's sad that none of them are around to defend work that is now being exploited. In the case of Roz, I find it fascinating that she's fine on the fast-tempo numbers ("Some People," "Mr. Goldstone," "Together," "Everything's Coming Up Roses" and "Rose's Turn") but struggles with her two slow songs ("Small World" and "You'll Never Get Away from Me"). Intersting. I also wish that Mr. Feltenstein's liner notes where less negative. He's just lazily repeating the company line of the show's ungenerous creators who seam to be angry only because they weren't more directly involved in the film version. (Hey, Jules Styne conducted the overture for the movie!) They should be grateful that the film of "Gypsy" was faithful to their original show at a time when most movies weren't (the truncated "Bye, Bye Birdie," for example). Just sour grapes. This is a great rendition -- much better than the awful Bernadette Peters version. Thank you, Warners and Rhino!
