I really like Disney's 33rd animated film "Pocahontas", but I would be lying if I said that I considered it to be "Classic" Disney and that it was in the same tier as "Sleeping Beauty" and "Cinderella" and other timeless films. But if I'm not talking about the overall film and only analyzing musical scores, I honestly believe that the score by Menken and Schwartz belongs in the top tier of Disney movie scores. The release of this beautiful film score as part of the Legacy Collection deserves the highest of marks. I will give you the top three reasons why you should pick up this edition of the score: 1) The completeness of the score here surpasses the earlier clipped release. Here, you get many, many more minutes of pure orchestral enjoyment, including the lovely Pocahontas/John Smith duet "If I Never Knew You". 2) Clarity of the sound. There are a few vocal songs in this film (Virginia Company and Mine, Mine, Mine) whose lyrics are rapid and difficult to understand. Not so with this release. The difference is remarkable. The score is crystal clear and one notices a heavier drum,a richer clarinet, a sweeter flute and a more tearful violin than heard in the previous release. Judy Kuhn sounds like she's singing in your living room and she has never sounded better than in this release. You can hear so much emotion in her voice because the recording is so pristine. 3) The extra demos. Normally, these don't excite me and I often think "No wonder they were cut from the film" but these demos are actually very good and I enjoyed imagining how they would have looked as part of the film, and honestly, I hoped that some of them would have been polished up and included in the film. I guest a fourth reason to pick up this version is the beautiful presentation of the art work, lyrics, and history of the score and film in the booklet. This is a wonderful keepsake and while this is my first purchase of any Disney CD in the Legacy Collection, I am going to purchase a few others. I can only hope that they will be as good as this one. UPDATE: Sadly, my first copy had a skip on the CD so I returned it to Amazon. They were great and sent me another copy...my 2nd copy had the exact same error! This may be a defective pressing on Disney's part. First disc, last song "I'll never see him again" would not play without skipping on both of my copies.
