Two decades after releasing the world's first soundtrack recording with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney achieved another milestone by releasing Sleeping Beauty, the world's first stereo soundtrack album. Nominated for an Oscar in 1959, George Bruns's lilting orchestral score was adapted from the Tchaikovsky ballet and recorded in Germany, where the most state-of-the-art recording equipment could be found. (Disney spared no expense on the tale of Aurora and Maleficent--it cost a then-unheard-of $6 million to make the film.) Featuring Mary Costa's ethereal vocals on "Once upon a Dream" and "I Wonder," Sleeping Beauty's combination of songs and score set a standard that soundtrack releases would follow for decades to come. --Bill Forman
Album Description
Digitally remastered soundtrack of the movie to coincide with the release of Sleeping Beauty on Disney Blu-Ray and DVD.

This won't put you to sleep . . . January 6, 2009
One of the best soundtracks from Disney because it utilizes one of the best ballet scores in history. None other than Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and it makes grand it's statement working with the disney flair, and the genius of music score itself. Great entertainment, and whole new experiance apart from movie. Highly recommended for young and old, and whatever.
Favorite Disney movie/soundtrack March 10, 2008
Once Upon A Dream has always been my favorite and of course the Tchaikovsky music is greatly liked as I love classical music and do not care for musicals.
A fantastic recording and a must for even the most casual of fans! January 17, 2008
If you like Sleeping Beauty, then you know how integral the music is to the entire film.
That being said, there were a couple of trademark moments that didn't get onto the CD (the moments with Briar Rose in the forest singing with the birds and owl, and the moment after Once Upon a Dream where she runs away come to mind), but I'd say that otherwise the entire score is included.
The recording is of outstanding quality, especially for it being almost 50 years old! Each instrument is heard clearly, and the vocal tracks are in great shape as well. They did a fantastic job with their restoration!
One of the most fantastic scores for a Disney film October 4, 2007
This is an orchestral-type soundtrack, while still including the Disney songs featured in the movie. George Bruns has done an amazing job of adapting Pyotr Tchaikovsky's 'Sleeping Beauty Waltz' to the movie and creating the song inspired by it (Once Upon a Dream). Bruns' score follows the movie closely, especially in track 17 ('Battle with the Forces of Evil'), a bellicose piece featuring brass & percussion sequences as the Prince escapes the Forbidden Mountain and Maleficient confronts him by turning herself into a dragon! Even young children will probably enjoy it as it contains the familiar Disney songs.

For as long as I can remember, "Sleeping Beauty" has been my all-time favorite Disney movie, not only because of its incredible artwork (definitely the best from Classic Disney) but also because of the soundtrack. The music evokes the visual beauty of the artwork. It was adapted from Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty Ballet, and it is one of the most beautiful, emotional pieces of music I have ever heard. The score is spectacular, especially in the ending scenes (specifically, "A Fairy Tale Come True" and "Awakening"). "Sleeping Beauty" does not have as much songs as later Disney movies (such as "Aladdin" or "Beauty and the Beast") but its quality, not quantity. Mary Costa, who did the voice of Aurora, has a beautiful voice, I always had trouble imagining a real person being able to sing like that when I was younger. Unfortunately, the actual CD isn't available, but all the tracks can be found on the iTunes Music Store. If you're a fan of Disney movies, or just good music, I suggest buying it.
