Free Music Notes for Pinocchio
Free Music Review: Import soundtrack CD is a steal.
Hit: 5 Stars
In 1992, when Pinocchio was given an all new restoration for its theatrical release, Disney discovered the original music masters in their vaults. (No, I don't mean the vault where Disney DVDs go when Disney decides to deprive our children of emotional milestones.) Thought lost for over three decades due to a failure to properly label and catalogue them, they were digitally restored and remastered and released on CD and audiocassette, allowing the public to hear the beautiful musical score on its own for the first time ever.
This soundtrack, like the film's many video releases, has been taken out of print and brought back into print on several occasions. Currently, the soundtrack IS out of print in North America, as are many other of the Disney soundtrack reissues from the 1990's. However, in the last couple of years, Walt Disney Records and EMI Records in the UK have since reissued several of these soundtracks overseas, including Pinocchio.
According to the copyright dates on this package, this particular CD master was created in 2002. Having heard the 1992 CD, this new release seems a bit cleaner to me, but I can't really confirm if this is a new remaster or if this is just a reissue of a previously copyrighted package. Whether this is cleaner than the 1992 CD, the sound quality is definitely superb for recordings that were over fifty years old at the time the digital master was created. There's a minimum amount of noise and some of the limitations of the original elements present themselves, but this is likely the best this soundtrack will ever sound, and frankly, it sounds amazing.
The packaging for this 2006 UK release is also nicely done. The cover is basically a square reproduction of the 1993 VHS release cover art, which I always thought was very beautiful and classy. The image that shows through the clear plastic tray depicts the scene with the Blue Fairy and Pinocchio in Stromboli's cage. The booklet includes lyrics, photos, and a short essay on the soundtrack's restoration.
The soundtrack to Walt Disney's timeless classic Pinocchio is an incredible listening experience for fans of the film, Disney fans, and soundtrack fans alike. With an Academy Award winning score and the iconic Academy Award winning song "When You Wish Upon A Star," any sonic imperfections brought on by the age, limitations, and physical properties of the original recording materials can be overlooked thanks to careful restoration and remastering and the sheer gorgeousness of the music itself. And despite being an import, Amazon's price of 13.99 is a steal for classic Disney music.
Pinocchio Poster
This 1940 soundtrack earns a spot on any essential-Disney list if only for the fact that it introduced "When You Wish upon a Star," sung by Cliff Edwards, whose voice has become ubiquitous in the 60 years Jiminy Cricket has been in movies and educational films as well as on TV shows. But Pinocchio is no one-hit wonder: the disc also boasts "I've Got No Strings," "Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee (An Actor's Life for Me)," and an endearingly maudlin instrumental score. --John SanchezSoundtracks Music CDs
