Yet it is these details and finesse that only the original version leaves a discover and advocate the acquisition. Discovering anew with each other Listen makes the added value - of course, not only because of these subtleties, but because everything is just right. It swings and grooves and has atmosphere, in fact even if George Bruns' band motifs and themes of the soundtrack in the manner of an operatic overture presents.
Those small, elegant details are worthwhile; It starts with the original voices: Mowgli and Baloo's duet sounds in English just funnier. And when Louis (!) Prima alias King Louie a Scat quite in the manner of Louis (!) Armstrong scats and sings, then flips the whole jungle with your fingers. That - according to Wikipedia - originally Armstrong had the Monkey King to sing that one has but aside from political correctness, which is believed immediately (Anathema are these political correctors!). Louis Prima makes it really great, but they have yet rangelassen Armstrong! An eternal loss for humanity - and this is Louis Primate version really great, excellent, brilliant.
And then these ingenious details ... This saxophone in "Trust in Me (The Python's Song)", for example with this very special jungle-Touch, which anticipates perfectly Kaas hypnotic singsong. Shanti's tempting offer called "My Own Home" which Mowgli can not refuse ... And like Sterling Holloway little Mowgli hissing whispers to sleep ... Or this lively jungle ambience once King Louies monkeys come into play - Dixieland is time on the Ganges. And as George Bruns' band Mowgli fired Battles the Tiger ... In "Colonel Hathi's March" and Baloo's "Bare Necessities" no comment anyway necessary. Or this most gorgeous vulture quartet of all time with her, "That's What Friends are for" ... Wikipedia knows the way that actually the Beatles should have sing. And the composer put the bonus track one better and confess in the interview that was scheduled for the vultures originally a Liverpoodlian accent - a Hommage à Fab Four.
Of course, the German dubbing is a masterpiece; that does not discuss long one. But the wit of the original one should already sometimes indulge. Alone because of the vultures, whose convincing praise of friendship is wittier than many complete screenplays ... and not just when the vultures explain vierstimmig vorgetragenem pious upward glance: "in fact we've never met an animal we did not like" ...
This English version has an advantage over the German, namely additions from the Hors Category.
First, since there would be four more first-class songs that have not been incorporated in the film: Terry Gilkysons demo tapes for Mowgli's wolf pack "Brothers All" and "The Song of the Seeonee"; the latter with gorgeous a-capella and Wolf Howl-deposit ("To the moon we lift our voices / in a fearful Harmony"), and Phil Harris' idea as Baloo ("Baloo's Blues" and "It's a Kick").
And secondly, there's a good twelve minutes (English!) Extremely worth listening to an interview with the composer Robert and Richard Sherman on its approach, with many whimsical memories of the shooting. The two can be God and do not slouch "illustrate" much good stuff by singing in between himself and pretend themes and motifs on the piano. Right in the middle you can also listen to the demo tape, with which they have applied at Disney.
Who is no value to the lovingly-made CD booklet, is well served by the mp3 version; the bit rate of the individual tracks, however, is different and covers the gamut, 192-320 kbit / s - only the demo version with the heart-rending howl Wolf "The Song Of The Seeonee" is content with 160 kbit / s. The sound quality seems's but, so my impression, not to harm.
Applies for mp3 album as well as for the CD: The "Bare Necessities" alone would already brought it, but this offers much more.
