Does anyone know if Mastrantonio herself sang it? If the voice was dubbed, I'd like to know whose voice it was and can I buy the CD?
It was so-o-o beautiful!
If anyone knows more about this recording of this lovely song, please post here. I'll check back now and then.
Postscrpt: I checked Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and I see she trained to be an opera singer, so whadyawannabet she herself sang it.
Yes, she did sing it herself.
I don't know whether the soundtrack is available, but a number of people have recorded the song, including John McDermott, on the "Danny Boy" album.
Hi my name is Jim Prime and I played the piano on the film, I also tutored Mary and Irene for the piano scenes. They were both charming. 'My love is like a Red Red Rose' was recorded at Cava studios in Glasgow. Mary sang the piece and I played.The track was not used for anything but the film though.
shareThank you. I still remember how enchanted I was by this song in the film. I am "saving" the film on my Netflix account so I can watch it again when the dvd is released.
shareI recorded this by sticking my cell phone up to the television and then downloading it to my Itunes. Sounds just fine. Soooooo worth doing it! Mary Elizabeth also sings in the film "Limbo", and in the Broadway Cast Revival 0f 2004 "The Man of La Mancha." She has a very lovely and diverse voice.
shareMaryElizabeth did sing My Love is Like a Red Red Rose. My son played the part of Findlay Pettigrew and I was on the film set quite a lot. MaryElizabeth is a lovely warm kind and friendly woman who had so much time for the children on set.
