Free Music Notes for Company (2006 Broadway Revival Cast)
Free Music Review: Sondheim's a Genius!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great musical production, but beyond that, I keep being impressed by Sondheim's ability to capture and express the tenderness and pain and joy of human relationships. I love this album, it's in my car, I play it every day.Free Music Review: stunning
Hit: 5 Stars
saw the show in New York and it blew me a way, as the best show I have seen in 20 years, and I work in theater. and the recording will not disapoint if you were unlucy enough not to see the show, as much of the dialogue is also in the recording the show will make sence to you which often recorded shows fail to do. the one thing it will leave you is the puzzelment many people have had, as to why Raul Esparza was passsed over for the Tony?Free Music Review: A Little Sorry, but Grateful Nonetheless
Hit: 4 Stars
While I do enjoy this cast version better than the OBC, I was disappointed with a number of songs. Most of it had to do with the added dialogue. Although the dialoge is in the middle of the songs in the show, this is a CD, and I wanted to HEAR the songs not imagine the dialogue as it is being said in the middle of a great song. It kills the momentum of the songs on the CD! An example being Another Hundred People where the listener gets a sneek peek (audibly) into the lives of the women in Bobby's life. I wanted to HEAR the song, but instead the song was interrupted by the dialogue. Another is Being Alive. There should have been a bonus track with Raul Esparza singing this through without interruption.
I dont get why there just couldnt be the music and songs without dialogue when the show is being recorded for PBS anyway!
My second gripe is Barbara Walsh's version of The Ladies Who Lunch! She just howls it out, screaming, whailing - it's just awful. The best version of this song is on the Camp Soundtrack with Alana Allen and Anna Kendrick.
Great CD. A must for your collection. And Raul is A - MA - ZING!
Free Music Review: Raul...WOW
Hit: 4 Stars
I LOVE the original cast recording of COMPANY. However I am too young to have enjoyed it on Broadway. When I heard John Doyle was adding his "double duty" magic and bring one of favorite current Broadway voices, Raul Esparza I couldn't wait! The wait was worth it. Raul is FANTASTIC. Being Alive is probably my favorite American musical theatre song in our lexicon, and Raul KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK! It's worth it just for this number. The supporting cast is great too. It would have gotten five stars if the finale number was included in this recording. this one ends with Being Alive. Whatever, it's great!Free Music Review: Company
Hit: 5 Stars
Of the 3 recordings of Comapny that I have, the latest Broadway revival is far and away the best. The extra dialogue brings back the focus much more than either the OBC or The Donmar recording of the mid 90's. It has hardly been off my cd player since getting back from Broadway, and has pride of place on the iPod. A must for any Sondheim fan.
