 1   The Magic Flute / The Magic Flute Soundtrack  on: Mar 28th, 2009, 7:00pm
Started by brookefox | Post by brookefox
I never really thought I would say this, but thank god for the iTunes store! It is the only place I have been able to find the soundtrack to TMF, and it was only $9.99! As soon as the movie is available on Region 1 DVD, rest assured I am buying it, but for now I make due with the soundtrack and a very-high quality copy of the movie my friend found on her file-sharing program.

A few quick notes about the soundtrack:

With the exception of the Ouverture, all of the tracks are preceded by a voice-over narration by Kenneth Branagh describing the current action in the movie. I have no problem with this, but I can see where some might be annoyed by it. I think it's very important to realize this before purchasing.

Also, there are a few absent songs, most conspicuously the Pamina/Papageno duet immediately following her rescue and the song during Papageno's dream sequence. You know... the one with the giant lips. XD Now we've still got "The Birdman," "So Good-bye, You Cruel World," and "Pa-Pa-Pa," plus all of the other amazing music, but one has to wonder what people have against our favorite Birdman! I mean, did someone listen to an initial cut of the soundtrack and say "Hey why does the goofy sidekick get more songs than the tenor? Fix that."? Not. Cool.

But aside from that, the soundtrack is wonderful and especially great for anyone living in North America with no access to the DVD (outside of buying a region-free player). I heartily recommend it!

For those (like me) who did not get to see Ben in the Les Miz revival, here are 2 videos I found on Youtube.

Stars:

Javert's Suicide:

Completely brilliant! The stage is too dark to see the actual "suicide" but the sound is good and the filming catches his expressions very well in both videos.

I thought I should start a thread about your Javert. As I told you last Sunday, it's aw......esome....! I've only started giving more attention to the role about 2 years ago and I'm still discovering what makes this inspector tick. You bring something new with your suicide (sorry, it doesn't sound good but I can't think of another way to call it). I love how you seemed hopeless yet still determined and sticking-up with your beliefs. Very good work!

(Did that make sense? )

The blog will hopefully kick in once yours truly gets a chance to catch his breath. I am filming a great short film this week whilst also trying to pack up for the move. Once life settles down a bit, I will happily oblige..... JEEZ, YOU ARE SO DEMANDING!!!!

When will that be launched? I'm really looking forward to it.

*insert some kind of Broadhurst/Ben/blog alliteration cleverness*

Aha!

Your cryptic message becomes clear. Is is Stars? That's my friend's favorite song. Once again, thanks for answering my question!
And here it comes again...

Who are some of your favorite performers, opera and non?
