Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - "Disney meets Chip Davis" This 1964 Academy Award winner for Best Song "CHIM CHIM CHER-EE", performed by Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke in the Disney's multi-hit "Mary Poppins", is nothing less than spectacular by Chip Davis and Mannheim Steamroller gang. Each selection seems to have that original sound, works so well with the tunes we grew up with and still enjoy to this day, thanks to the clever arrangements of Chip Davis. A wonderful compilation of songs from today and the past, given the "steamroller" treatment, fresh and upbeat. Chip never ceases to amaze his fans, with "HAKUNA MATATA", "GO THE DISTANCE", "YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME" simply outstanding...but the highlight is "WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR" the 1940 Academy Award winner for Best Song, beginning with "twinkle, twinkle little star", blending and interwoven beautifully by Davis and the Mannheim gang. Chip sets his standards to the highest level with every album, and his impeccable rhythm and incredible control of dynamics is the mainstay to all of his fans...Mr. Davis, you're ONE OF A KIND! Total Time: 41:53 on 12 Tracks...Disney/American Gramaphone 12835...(1998) Rating: - Good, but no sing-along! "Mannheim Steamroller meets the Mouse": Since you're already a Disney fan, if you're also a MS fan, you will love this album. Hits from "When You Wish upon a Star" to Mulan's "Reflection" in the typical driving chamber-type music style made popular by the group. However, don't expect to plop down with your family next to your stereo to listen to your kids sing along with the album's tunes. It ain't gonna happen. As is typical with most Steamroller adaptations, many liberties are taken with the original tunes. In fact, the original tune in Hakuna Matata can't be found anywhere in this album's version. Includes a nice rendition of the MM March, but for those of us who remember the old show, be prepared for melancholy, almost eerie goosebumps when you hear Jimmie Dodd's voice at the end of the tune. Rating: - Steamroller sound matches well with most of the Disney music Even tho not available to everyone yet this CD has made it into the hands of Mannheim Steamroller fans and people at Disneyworld. If you know the Steamroller sound you will find practically every nuance from previous Steamroller albums including the Fresh Aire series. If you are more of a Disney "music fan" you might be a little disappointed. For Steamroller fans it is in many ways a "classic". Bringing out the "Chip Davis" sounds from all previous albums and putting them on one. A favorite of mine is "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" followed by "The Ballad of Davy Crockett". It's too bad that there are only 12 cuts on the disk. But maybe "Meets the Mouse II" will be coming in the future. Some of my favorites were not found on this album...but still many made the cut for this first album.
