Free Music Review: Je suis enchant?!
Hit: 5 Stars
Get a group of baby boomers together and ask each what vinyl album he or she played to near extinction. Did I hear you say the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?" Your "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack?" Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water?" In my case, I wore out my "Cabaret (Original Broadway Cast)" with the bright yellow album cover.
I cannot tell you how many hot tears fell upon that spinning black disc, how many times I sang the title song at the top of my lungs "alone in my room" along with Jill Haworth as Sally Bowles, a wondrous affirmation of life. Every scratch on that vinyl is like a groove on my heart.
I was thrilled to find this 1998 rerecording on audio CD, released the same year as the Broadway revival. Like memory itself, some of the tracks are different from the 1966 vinyl release. Much to my delight, it also included four previously unreleased Kander & Ebb demo cuts with brief intros. Although one cannot dispute that the Bob Fosse-directed movie with Liza Minnelli deserved its eight Oscars, the original Broadway cast recording is definitely worth exploring!
What's more, both the original Broadway production and film share the incomparable Joel Grey, who won both the Tony and the Oscar for his role as the Master of Ceremonies. Whatever version, Joel beckons to us, "Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome! Im Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret!"
Cabaret (Original Broadway Cast) Poster
This original cast recording of Kander & Ebb's Cabaret is tough to beat: Jill Haworth as Sally Bowles, Joel Grey as the Master of Ceremonies, and Lotte Lenya as Fraulein Schneider all turn in classic performances that set a high-water mark for future reinterpretations. Lenya's "So What?" and "It Couldn't Please Me More" hark back to the dark cabaret work composed by her late husband, Kurt Weill, while other tunes ("Telephone Song," "Two Ladies") are much more upbeat. One of the best surprises found on this version--featuring liner notes by author Ken Mandelbaum--are the four previously unreleased (and fascinating) Kander & Ebb demo cuts and four brief intros for songs. The eight rarities are all low-fidelity but highlight the songwriting process of the pair nicely. --Jason VerlindeBroadway & Vocalists Music CDs
