Free Music Review: LE JAZZ HOT, BABY!: THE BEST "VICTOR/VICTORIA" SOUNDTRACK
Hit: 5 Stars
"VICTOR/VICTORIA" is one of my all-time favorite films. I can't believe this Soundtrack Reissue from Rhino Movie Music and Turner Classic Movies has been available since 2002. I only discovered this a few days ago on Amazon. You bet I bought it immediately!
I've purchased the two previous versions of the Soundtrack (1982 MGM LP Record and 1994 Cresendo Expanded CD reissue) and this is the best version-- and not only because it is the complete Academy-Award winning score with 31 song/instrumental tracks. The "Echo Chamber" sound that is so evident on the previous editions is now completely gone.
Kudos to George Feltenstein and the technical wizards at
Rhino Movie Music/TCM for producing a soundtrack that is so crisp and clear I'd swear this is a live album/CD.
It was as if I was hearing these songs and Mancini music for the very first time! Feltenstein and Company have worked similar remastering magic on the CD Soundtracks for "THE WIZARD OF OZ", "THE PIRATE", "IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME/SUMMER STOCK", etc. etc. etc.
Leslie Bricusse and Henry Mancini's score perfectly captures the wit and warmth of the film. You'll hear Robert Preston sing "Gay Paree," the campy delight "The Shady Dame From Seville," and two versions of the charming Robert Preston-Julie Andrews duet "You And Me." The most delightful instrumental Tracks are "The Big Lift" and
"Drag Blues," both of which have not appeared on CD before. Lesley Ann Warren rips through a boisterous rendition of "Chicago, Illinois."
There is also the divine Julie Andrews, of course! This CD includes her complete version of "Cherry Ripe,"
an old British song that a starving Victoria sings as an audition early in the film. As she finishes the song, she says, "As you can tell, Mosieur Labiesse, I have a legitimate voice." The unimpressed club owner responds, "Yes, well. I'm looking for something a little more illegitimate." Robert Preston's Toddy quickly comes up with the idea that she will be a smash in gay clubs. Julie's big showstopper is "Le Jazz Hot", (Oh god! That final high note!) but her voice has never sounded more intimate than on the unforgettably poignant ballad "Crazy World."
This CD is the perfect way to savor the outstanding, incomparable talents of Julie Andrews, Robert Preston, and Henry Mancini. The CD booklet photographs and detailed production history liner notes are superb as well.
Victor/Victoria (1982 Film Soundtrack) Poster
Largely moribund since the mid-'60s, the Hollywood film musical has only occasionally piqued the interest of an ambitious filmmaker in the decades since. Nineteen eighty-two's transgender-themed, depression-era romp once again teamed director Blake Edwards with longtime musical collaborator Henry Mancini (whose work here alongside lyricist Leslie Bricusse netted him a Best Song Score Oscar?). But the real news was Edwards's casting of screen musical legend Julie Andrews--his wife--in the typecasting-be-damned lead role of the down-on-her-luck singer who eventually triumphs by passing herself off as both sides of a female impersonator cabaret act. Mancini's score is as playful as the premise, lampooning everything from stuffy operatic clich?s to the "hot jazz" of '30s Parisian cabaret with his deft melodic touch, while he and Bricusse serve up a spare, if nigh-perfect slate of songs to match. Highlighted by Andrews's diva-mocking "Cherry Ripe," sultry takes of "Le Jazz Hot" and "The Shady Dame from Seville," and the show-stopping "Crazy World," the soundtrack also gets masterful turns from fellow musical-comedy legend Robert Preston on the campy "Gay Paree" and an outtake of "You and Me"(a duet with Andrews) as well as Lesley Ann Warren's ditzy delight, "Chicago, Illinois." This remastered 20th-anniversary edition is also fleshed out by 10 previously unreleased cues from Mancini's evocative orchestral score and a rehearsal take of "Shady Lady from Seville." --Jerry McCulleyPop Music CDs
