Free Music Review: The Best 1776 Recording Yet
Hit: 5 Stars
1776 is one of the most underrated musicals in Broadway history. With clever lyrics and a creative score and set of songs, this show should be recognized as a classic. This particular soundtrack is probably the best one available. While the Original Broadway Cat recording is not bad, the singing is sub par. But that has been totally rectified (or nearly so) in this most recent rendition. Brent Spiner's dramatic rendition of John Adams is as good as William Daniels' (from the original cast) but he is a MUCH better singer. Daniels spent most of his time painfully under pitch, a problem we don't see much with Spiner. On the down side however, Pat Hingle's Benjamin Franklin is not an improvement over Rex Everhart's, and it needed to be. Also, the orchestra for this recording is a little scaled back, but fortunately that is not particularly a problem most of the time. If you don't have a terribly discerning musical ear, you may like the Original Broadway Cast recording just fine. But this recording is just leaps and bounds above it in musical quality, from my perspective. I highly recommend this wonderful soundtrack from a marvelous, though unappreciated, show.
