5.0 out of 5 stars
Oklahoma!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oklahoma! (1955 Film Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
This is by far THE BEST movie and sountrack. The music is beautiful, but still fun and entertaining. It deserves more than 5 stars!

Positively Gorgeous,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oklahoma! (1955 Film Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
The score of "Oklahoma" is, quite simply, one of the true masterpieces of the modern world--funny, simple and yet perfectly, elegantly, constructed. Say what you will about other recordings, I can't find much wrong with this one. The vocal performances and orchestration are almost chillingly beautiful. I nearly wept when I heard Gordon McRae's smooth, crooning baritone voice singing "The Surrey With the Fringe on Top"...and that was only the second song on the CD.

Great, but the extra sound effects are unnecessary,
By Pope (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oklahoma! (1955 Film Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
This new expanded version of Oklahoma is long awaited for conisseurs of the marvelous 1955 film. It includes not only all music (which has been remastered) from the previous release, but many previously unreleased tracks as well. On this album we have Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones in the lead roles that would put them over the top. This is the film for which they probably are both most famous. They were paired up again for Carousel the following year. Jones went on to appear in the 1962 film The Music Man. Gloria Grahame is nice as Ado Annie, but she pales in comparison to Celeste Holm from the OBC album. The cast here is in top vocal form and excellent performances are had throughout. My only gripe is the presence of extra sound effects in the previously unreleased material. Hand clapping, foot stomping, extra dialog, and shouts and cheers have no place in a soundtrack album. As another reviewer stated, if we wanted the effect this CD gives, we can grab a copy of the movie and fast forward it to those parts. Many of the best soundtrack albums on the Angel and Sony labels have been plagued with this lately. Extraneous sound effects are had on the remastered and expanded editions of Oklahoma, Carousel, My Fair Lady, West Side Story, and others. While I can see the reissue producers' desire to include the music as it would be heard in the film, more effort should have been made to locate the original recording session masters where they exist. On the plus side, though, all of the selections on this CD sound better than ever. We have the Overture and Main Title as heard in the film itself and they have never sounded better, although I do like the original Capitol Records version of the overture better (it appears as a bonus track at the end of this album). The Entr'acte is featured as well, but the Exit Music has not been included. I absolutely recommend this album. It is a worthy addition to any Broadway fan's collection. But those who still have their copy of the previous (1993) CD release - hang onto it, you will not regret it! That is how a soundtrack album of Oklahoma, presented with all its integrity, should sound.
