Disney Adventures in Bluegrass


Disney Adventures in Bluegrass
2008 collection from Disney, presenting their most famous tunes...with a twist! Disney may be best known for their cute and cuddly characters, but the Bluegrass music is also part of the magic and attraction. This compilation takes a handful of great, memorable songs but instead of presenting them in the ol' familiar versions, they've collected up this set of tunes and added a Bluegrass flavor!. Housed in a digipak featuring reproductions of original Disney hand drawings on the cover. 12 tracks. EMI.


Wishes - A Magical Gathering Of Disney Dreams
"Wishes", Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom Fireworks Display opened on October 9, 2003 and has been thrilling guests nightly ever since. Bursting with color, sound and emotion, "Wishes" is the biggest fireworks spectacular ever presented at the Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom. This CD is dedicated to "Wishes", and continues to bring joy and happiness to thousands on a daily basis.
Customer Review: Wishes
Plain and simple - this CD is the soundtrack to the "Wishes" fireworks show at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. I bought it for the memories, and because we like the arrangment. You should know what this is before you buy it.


Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration
If anyone could corner the millennium, Disney could. In presenting the theme music to its millennium celebration at Epcot Center in Florida, the megacorporation attempts a grand, musical year-2000 salute. Naturally, World Millennium Celebration weaves plenty of fiery brass, warm sting passages, stirring voices, and a mix of space romance and Earth adventure into the fabric of this fantasy work. Executive Music Producer Steve Skorija's task seems to be providing a backdrop for live performance, a scrim to unfurl behind the spectacle. And in doing so, the themes "Reflections of Earth," "We Go On," "Tapestry of Nations," "Promise," and "Celebrate the Future Hand in Hand" (complete as a gospel version as well) have an "Up with People" undercurrent that is ambiguous even as it is mildly diverting. On those merits, Millennium Celebration succeeds as a score. But for sheer entertainment value, the CD needs to give us more of the legendary mouse's magic and less of its roar. --Martin Keller
Customer Review: Complete track listing showing the differences between the 2 CDs
After much research I have found the complete track listings of both Illuminations CDs, and after comparing them by looking at the tracks visually on Sound Studio, I can tell you for certain that the Fireworks Spectacular, and the songs, "We Go On" and "Promise" are identical on the two CDs. Only the Parades are different. I like the Tapestry of Dreams Parade better. And the Gospel song (which is nice) is not on the Tapestry of Dreams CD.

Thank you.
Customer Review: PHENOMENAL
A 5-star rating doesn't do this CD justice - I would rate it 10 stars if I could. The music on this CD is beyond description - it's unbelievably powerful, poignant, emotional, sentimental, uplifting, and inspirational. My favorite songs are the "Reflections of Earth" and "Promise." I listen to this CD every day because it is so beautiful and so empowering... Only Disney could come up with such true musical and creative ingenuity. The music brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it, even after having listened to the music countless, countless times. I have visited the Disney parks several times over the past few years, and I never miss the Epcot fireworks show with this music because it is so stunning and just beyond comprehension. This CD is an absolute must for your collection. I might need to get a second copy of the CD because I will probably wear out my existing copy soon!
