Speechless ... 2

When it comes to Disney strips, the music can decide whether the movie is recorded as a masterpiece or flop. So many fans came because of the unconventional and unexpected soundtracks that contained many gospel-like numbers, "Hercules" back on (although I just liked the variety) and to this day I also think that "Tarzan" would be the music was built similar to the musical version in the movie, a much greater success would have.

And well, "The Ice Queen" is in this category is an absolute winner!

The intrumentale score of Christoph Beck is really, really great and puts viewers right from the start right in the action. But as the score sound may be, the sung numbers are what make "The Eiskönnigin" in advance for me a masterpiece.

With "Cold Heart" begins the film already having a strong, resembling a shanty number. "Do you want to build a snowman?" builds on the relationship between the two sisters and is both scary sweet and sad at the same time. "Reindeer are better than men" is a cute short ditty sung by a man and his reindeer and "polishing" is funny and energetic.

But there are three pieces, through which all will speak:

"For the first time" (and its reprise) provide, so to speak, the adult equivalent of "You want a Snowman Building?" represents and are absolutely necessary to understand who Anna and Elsa really are. They have a great structure, catchy lyrics and great, corresponding with the song scenes. The slight dissonances Elsas in Reprise lend their internal jolts also further expression.

"Love opens Tür'n" is a really goldiges love duet and could effortlessly in another movie the song be the end to which everyone remembers. The opening and closing of doors in "The Ice Queen" is a recurring motif. Play the song you quickly realize how Anna can be swept away by her handsome prince.

But the "breakthrough hit single" from "The Ice Queen" is without question "Let's go now."

In addition to the fantastic Idina Menzel, which gives the US version of Elsa capital steeped singing and speaking voice that Elsa is sung in German soundtrack of the no less impressive Dutch Willemijn Verkaik (also in the Dutch version of the film!), Which also "Wicked" gained fame through the role of Elphaba from the musical and sang this even in the first half of the year on Broadway. This is exactly my musical is also known for their ability to deeply reach into the heart of the listener and to twist it. People who have ever experienced in Wicked know what I mean.

The first time I heard Willemijn in the Stuttgart production of Wicked and was (... still am) a big fan of her and the musical, although I prop. Not a big fan of musicals am but myself closer to opera and classical music feel comfortable , Although I I love the whole musical was "free and weightless" always my favorite women's power ballad, which is on my Ipod today heard regularly.

"Let's go now" is better.
