5.0 out of 5 stars A children's classic not known enough in America 30 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This CD of the Howard Blake music for the Raymond Briggs classic story "The Snowman" should be in every child's collection of favorite music. The main theme is hauntingly beautiful and could create a mood for any child's creative daydreaming. The double bonus of the music alone, or the narrated version that is offered on the CD will whet your appetite for the animated video, which is a veritible feast for the eyes. "The Snowman" and the music by Blake is loved by any who have had the pleasure of knowing it, and this CD will allow many more children (and those who are still young at heart) to discover this treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful 3 Jan 2009
By Debra from Hull
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The first half of the CD is James Nesbitt reading the story of The Snowman. The original book was only pictures - this is the story based on the film (the visit to Father Christmas wasn't in the original book). Included in the digipak is the story in words along with pictures from the book. Perfect for reading along with a child. I'm not a great fan of James Nesbitt but he does do a great job here.

The second half is the soundtrack to the film including Walking In The Air.
I can't recommend this enough - it's delightful for young and old. And at less than £3 it's a bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for everyone's inner child 28 April 2004
By "siofradhmcmahon"
Format:Audio CD
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Music for Xmas!
The Snowman is a timeless classic and should be on every childs' Xmas list. We saw the show at the Peacock Theatre in London and had to get the sound tracks.
