Free Music Notes for The Slipper and the Rose (1976 Film Soundtrack)

Free Music Review: a glowing, romantic and lush score
Hit: 5 Stars

Gemma Craven is a delight as Cinderella. She carries the bulk of the score including "Once I Was Loved", "When He Danced With Me", "Tell Him Anything (But Not That I Love Him)" and "I Can't Forget the Melody". Her gorgeous voice (which has mellowed in recent years to a warm contralto), sounds crisp and delightful.

Richard Chamberlain dusts off his singing voice for the role of the Prince, singing a varied group of songs like "Why Can't I Be Two People?", "A Bride-Finding Ball", "When She Danced With Me" and "Secret Kingdom". More recently Chamberlain played the Captain in the Broadway run and subsequent tour of THE SOUND OF MUSIC's revival.

The Sherman Brothers score (which is right up there with MARY POPPINS and THE HAPPIEST MILLIONAIRE) as their most accomplished, is strong throughout. There are plans to create a new stage version of SLIPPER and rightly-so. This is a traditional stage-musical score.

I must thank the tireless efforts of the wonderful Jenni Ferreira for her work in bringing THE SLIPPER AND THE ROSE back from the "Where Are They Now?" graveyard and into the spotlight as the masterpiece that it is. Its thanks to Jenni that we have this newly-remastered soundtrack (which has been long out-of-print) and the DVD of the complete uncut film. Thanks Jenni!

Enjoy this masterpiece!
