So happy to see this CD at no.1 December 22, 2006 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Snowman absolutely makes Christmas for me. The bittersweet story always reminds me that nothing is forever; we should cherish the time we have.
Looking in the Children's Xmas songs category, I noticed that this CD was the top result. I'm so happy to see that so many others appreciate this work as much as I do.
Corection of review August 23, 2006 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is definitly the original soundtrack of the 1982 film "peter auty" is the original singer. Aled jones did not record the song until after the film was made. However a recent dvd of the film used aled's recording instead. It also changed the intro to one with "David bowie". But rest asured this cd is the soundtrack of the film as released in 1982. It is a highly recomended cd.

In the deadly July heat and humidity found in the eastern US, I will play the soundtrack to "The Snowman", and it all comes back. All of the wonder and delight of the film comes rushing back, and I forget the dismal summer season. But even if I didn't know the film, the music stands well on its own. And the recording is a great monument to the British film recording industry. Buy it here; very difficult to find in the US.
The Snowman: A beautiful success in musical imagery December 7, 2005 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The nostalgic melody from this album has been bittersweet with a lot of sweet for me since I was really young. I've always been enchanted by the perfectly whimsical, yet tragic sounds created in the score. It's amazing. I hope more people discover this gorgeous music.
A must have for everyone's inner child April 27, 2004 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
The Snowman is an age-old classic and has been a feature of all the Christmas holidays I can remember, along with Mary Poppins and theNutcracker. The beautiful music appeals to everyone and the simplicity ofthe story means that children of all ages enjoy it. This particularversion is excellent in that it not only has the music but is alsobasically an audio book and tells the story as it is in the film, with themusic in the background. So for the next generation of children stuck inside for the Christmasbreak and for their parents and indeed anyone who feels like reminiscing alittle, this is an brilliant (and might I add affordable!) buy. Enjoy!
