Music reviews of M-G-M's Brigadoon: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1954 Film)
Music Review: Not bad...not bad at all
Rating: 4 Stars
On this CD, the main disadvantage are the voices. The girl who dubbed the singing voice of Cyd Charisse is shockingly talented, but Gene Kelly's voice is, as always, flat and gray and incredibly boring to listen to, and while Gustafson has a very pleasant voice, he falls far short in his attempt to sound like an old-fashioned Gaelic tenor.However, some music is so good that it can salvage any voice that sings it. Such is the music of Brigadoon. Musical highlights include...
The hymn-like, extraordinarily beautiful "In thy valley there'll be love"...
The rowdy, rousing "bachelor party" number, "Go home with bonnie Jean"...
"There but for you go I", a song so beautiful that even Gene Kelly's voice sounds lovely singing it...
The grim, sharp-edged "Harry Beaton" (which is, incidentally, the trademark number of my favorite character)...
"From this day on", which, I'm not ashamed to admit, made me sob uncontrollably the first time I heard it, and still makes me misty-eyed to this day...
"Brigadoon", I have always maintained, has the finest musical score Frederick Loewe ever came up with (though I also argue that "Camelot" far outstrips it lyrically). It is beautiful after the fashion of the old Presbyterian hymns of Scotland, and its emotional power in phenomenal, especially in its stunning opening chorus--
"Let the world grow cold around us,
Let the heavens cry above,
Brigadoon, Brigadoon,
In thy valley there'll be love!"
