Free Music Notes for Victor/Victoria (1982 Film Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: Great movie, great soundtrack!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies, and I'm not sure why it took me so long to think to look for the soundtrack! I've had it for about a month now, and I love it.
Julie Andrews and Robert Preston are flawless (as usual), and it's just a lot of fun~particularly the rehearsal of Preston doing "The Shady Dame From Seville". I'm also a big fan of their duet "You and Me". All of the songs are wonderful showcases for Andrews' voice, showing her range and also various styles~from Cherry Ripe to Le Jazz Hot. What an amazing singer!
This would be a wonderful addition to to your CD collection for the musical prowess of Julie Andrews alone, but the soundtrack is a must for any fan of the movie.
Free Music Review: A good score by the great Mancini
Hit: 5 Stars
This musical presents some of the best songs by Henry Mancini, sung by
the fabulous Julie Andrews. The song "Crazy World" is featured two times,
one vocal, and the other, excellent, by the orchestra. A great purchase.

I love this picture, especially the music, and was happy to receive the soundtrack... it is excellent.Free Music Review: Only Bright Spot: Henry Mancini
Hit: 3 Stars
Henry Mancini gave us so much of our consciousness of the 1960s and 1970s, and yet was "out" almost as soon as he was "in."
His work became synonymous with much-despised "elevator music" in the later 1960s. This stereotype (or monotype, for his earliest works) can mislead.
For example, "Lujon" [not in this collection] was used in a movie just last year to exemplify mystery and an exotic atmosphere.
Mancini died way too young. While some would argue that he'd become a self-parody, his innate gifts compromised by relentless commercialization, you cannot take away his lasting gift to our culture. He was an original, and he captured an essence of our collective experience.
By 1982, Mancini was in very late career and doing a lot more TV material. In this soundtrack, you can discern his contribution most strongly in "Chicago."
He;s still 'got it,' for sure, but his time is running out by 1982...
