Free Music Notes for Brigadoon (1957 Studio Cast)
Free Music Review: Quite possibly the best BRIGADOON recording
Hit: 5 Stars
This recording of Lerner and Loewe's BRIGADOON was recorded in 1957 and features Jack Cassidy and then-wife Shirley Jones, fresh from her motion picture sucesses in OKLAHOMA and CAROUSEL. You couldn't ask for a better cast--all turn in very praiseworthy performances. It's too bad that MGM didn't make their film version of BRIGADOON a couple years later than it did; not that we don't enjoy Cyd Charisse's performance in the film, but imagine Shirley Jones singing and dancing alongside Gene Kelly...oh to think about what could have been!
Produced by the late great Goddard Lieberson, this recording sounded great on LP and it sounds great on CD as well--no gripes whatsoever about the recording or its CD transfer. This is now the album of choice for newcomers to the score. The original 1947 album is still very nice, but the occasionally-less-than-desirable sound quality and truncated musical numbers (necessitated by 1947 recording technology and the limited playing time of the 78-RPM records on which it was recorded) make it more of a historical document than anything else. The 1954 MGM soundtrack features stereophonic sound, which really opens the music up, and includes all the dance music heard in the film as well as the deleted numbers, but the soundtrack and film are really more about the dance music than the songs themselves--still great though. Purists will definately go after McGlinn's 1991 "complete" studio album on Angel/EMI. With all the choices, though, this 1957 album is definately a great place to start--well recorded, cast, and performed. I recommend this recording of BRIGADOON over all the others. RUN to buy a copy now that it's back in print!
EDIT 1/20/08: Picked up an old copy recently of the 1960s television cast with Robert Goulet and Sally Ann Howes and it definately gives this album a run for its money. Definately pick that album up on LP if you ever come across it!
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
