Bibbidi Bobbidi Bach: More Favorite Disney Tunes

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
As with its predecessor, Heigh-Ho! Mozart, Bibbidi Bobbidi Bach is a fine collection of Disney tunes in the style of master classical composers. In this format, "Whistle While You Work" receives the majestic treatment of Beethoven-like builds along with the playfulness of his symphony Pastoral (No. 6). Arranger Donald Fraser's adaptation of "Bella Notte," from Lady and the Tramp, is redone in the style of Erik Satie's three Gymnopédies; harmonies and pacing are adjusted to suit Satie's interplay of dark and light and the Disney melody is poignantly played atop the structure by sauntering flute and violin. Debussy's works, including "Clair de Lune," inspire the delicately ornamental piano flourishes heard on the rendition of "So This Is Love" from Cinderella. Piece by piece, from the Bach-inspired title cut to a Gregorian-chant version of The Lion King's "Circle of Life," these beloved songs are reevaluated, reinvented, and reaffirmed. --Paige La Grone

I owned Heigh-Ho Mozart first, but the two are equally as wonderful. Everyone has their own favorites of the originals, but I find that these are beautiful in their own way. "Circle of Life" sounds so religious and spiritual, as it should. "Kiss the Girl" is even more alive than the original! "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" is gorgeous and moving. "Some Day My Prince Will Come" is delightful. I find nothing to criticize about this CD of true art!

5 out of 5 stars Great CD for Disney Fans - Old & Young!.......2002-06-30

This is a wonderful CD! The music was beautifully written and preformed in a wide variety of classical music styles. Very relaxing to listen to - would be great to play for a young baby. I'm going to buy the Heigh-Ho Mozart soon, because I love this CD so much.

5 out of 5 stars Add my voice to the chorus of raves.......1999-11-25

I agree with the reviewers above. The only thing I would add is that the quality of the recording is superb. Living overseas without access to hands-on music stores, I've unwittingly bought some really cheesy stuff through the mail...And as the grandma writes, if you think that this recording is only for children, you're in for a great surprise. I prefer this newer recording to Heigh Ho! Mozart! only because we listened to Mozart! every night at dinner for almost a year, and my rock'n' roll husband liked it almost as much as my 7-year-old...Hearing the music we grew up with rendered so refreshingly and well proves that when you go home again, sometimes it's even better than you remember.

5 out of 5 stars A must have for Disney and classical music fans.......1999-01-09

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Bach is an outstanding collection of Disney film music done in the style of classical composers. Imagine finding Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo in the Brandenburg concerto or The Circle of Life as Gregorian Chant. The integrity of the original intent of composition remains intact while giving us the feelings invoked by the arranger. The jacket gives notes about the selection of style and how the music was originally used in the movie. This CD is also an excellent introduction of classical music to children. They already know the tunes, now they can gain an appreciation of the classics underlying them.

5 out of 5 stars I loved it!.......1998-10-29

Okay, okay, I know it sounds silly...but this is really good music! Walt Disney songs rearranged in the styles of composers from Bach to Bernstein. It's a lot of fun and has to be at least a little educational. For children, but this grandma loved it.
