Beauty and the Beast [1991] [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]

by Howard Ashman, Alan Menken

Overview

This music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman are positively delightful. While not as good as the Little Mermaid score, this album has its moments, such as "Be Our Guest" (in an A Chorus Line style). Including both orchestral and vocal selections, it features the talents of Robby Benson, Paige O'Hara, and Angela Lansbury, among others. The album also includes "Beauty and the Beast" as a duet between Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson. [The soundtrack was also released with bonus tracks.] ~ Tavia Hobart
