5 out of 5 stars Tells Dickens' Story in Music.......2000-12-13

I had eagerly looked forward to the release of TNT's "A Christmas Carol," expecting that it would be, as promised, rigorously faithful to Dickens' original novel. In this, I was disappointed (to date, the most faithful adaptation, is Clive Donner's version with George C. Scott as Scrooge). But the TNT version has two saving graces: first, the acting performance of Patrick Stewart, and second, the music soundtrack by Stephen Warbeck. I have made a reading of A Christmas Carol an annual tradition for many years--Warbeck's music almost brings the story alive by itself. In fact, I plan to incorporate pieces of this to accompany our family reading of the book. It has it's suitably dark moments but some wonderful uplifting ones as well. Several tracks are particularly noteworthy: "Fran's Tune" is very short but haunting (as it's companion, "Fran's Piano"), "Fezziwig's Party" is just plain fun, "Scrooge Alone" and "Little Child" are both soft and moving pieces, "Silent Night" is stirring and imaginatively rendered. Overall, a highly recommended soundtrack.

5 out of 5 stars This deserves 10 STARS!.......2000-02-21

All week I waited and waited for it to come when I ordered it. The day it came I listened to it and it was better than I supposed! Oh! Stephen Warbeck is a grand composer! The music is rich, dark, and reminds me of winter days when the sky is stormy cloudy. 'The Ghost of X-mas Past/School' is really dark. So are 'Funeral', 'Walking Home', 'X-mas Future,' and the rest! I wish everyone had this!

5 out of 5 stars Spooky, eerie, warming, touching.......2000-01-31

All I really want to say is THIS CD BRINGS OUT THE SCARINESS OF THE MOVIE! I WISH I KNEW WHAT ELSE STEPHEN WARBECK DOES! If you liked THIS CD, you should get 'SLEEPY HOLLOW!'

5 out of 5 stars A Christmas Carol Television Soundtrack is GRAND!.......1999-12-31

The reviewer from Moscow, Russia was wrong. It is a WONDERFUL CD!(I doubt the was really from Moscow, Russia. Probably just something he/she stupidly wanted to do) Of course there is hardly any singing - it is the SCORE OF THE TNT ORIGINAL! That means the MUSIC! There are two songs, 'Fezziwig's Song' and 'Topper's Song.' Fezziwig sings his song, 'Rose', during the Christmas party after a pleading from his wife and young Ebenezer. Topper sings his song 'Shy' at Fred's party, just before Scrooge overcomes his shyness and enters the house. The music is beautifully composed by Stephen Warbeck. The TNT Original and the George C. Scott film of 'Carol' are probably the very best you'll find for a while. Oh yes, don't be fooled, 'O' Little Town of Bethlehem' is not 'O' Little Town of Bethlehem.'
