Free Music Notes for Godspell: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Not as good as 2001 touring cast.
Hit: 2 Stars
This version was good, but not as good as the touring cast version. The songs are just so old and crappy sounding. The new 2001 version is more modern-aged, up beat, techno kind of music. I have this CD and the touring cast, and I listen to the touring cast CD more than I do this one. This CD DOESN'T have TOWER OF BABBLE, PROLOUGE, WE BESEECH THEE, and a couple more. I would recommend getting the touring cast rather than this one, unless you like the old 70's kinds of music then get this one.Free Music Review: The Difficult Decision Between Two
Hit: 4 Stars
This album is the first recording of Godspell I heard and thus the arrangements and voices remain my favorite. I am currently faced with the prospect of having to replace my rather well worn copy of the Original Off-Broadway Cast and was going to by this one instead, but for one hang up. This album does not have my favorite song on it. "We Beseech Thee" is nowhere to be found. I would recommend this album over the Off-Broadway if for no other reason than it does not have Opera-Man singing in the chorus of each song, but if you like "We Beseech Thee" then you might be forced to buy the Original Off Broadway Recording or both.Free Music Review: Best traditional version
Hit: 5 Stars
I'd like to start by saying that I see too many people comparing Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar. The fact is that they can't be compared. Godspell is witty, charming, and beautiful and Superstar is bold, powerful, and emotional. I love them both. Now onto my review...This is a fantasic CD. It captures the wonderful feel of Godspell perfectly. The actors all have excellent voices and the sound quality is perfect. If you're a looking for a good, traditional Godspell recording, then this is the one to get
Free Music Review: Godspell - A bold and empty musical
Hit: 1 Stars
This soundtrack, like all the others that have been recorded about the Stephen Schwartz concept of Jesus, it's another boring and bold musical written by the time of the apereance of other really great masterpieces about the same subject like Jesus Christ Superstar. In fact, this album as the original Off - Broadway Cast results such a poor choice if you want to buy one of the greatest musicals ever imagined (The Phantom, Jesus Christ, Cats, Les Miserables, etc.)Schwartz based his carreer in this soft and boring recording of a Jesus Christ dressed like a clown singing bad songs as Day by Day, Alas for you and Light of the world. But, however, it has a couple of songs that deserve a little atention like All Good Gifts and By my Side. The Cast do a good job with a poor lyrics and even worst orchestrations. Victor Garber have a beautiful voice waisted in s poor material like "Godspell".Free Music Review: One of the best recording of "Godspell" there is!
Hit: 5 Stars
I dare say that this is definitely one of the best recordings of "Godspell" ever recorded. Not only does it have over half of the original Off-Broadway Cast, but it also has fresh new voices that may even top the ones they replaced. I speak mainly of Marrell and Lynne in their renditions of "All Good Gifts" and "Bless the Lord." I'm a bit thankful that Lamar's operatic is gone, because Merrell is just great with it! And I've never heard "Bless the Lord" sound so good! I absolutely love it! Go Lynne Thigpen! I love the new version of "Save the People" with it's new guitar solo in the middle. I think Victor Garber is great as Jesus, so all of his songs are wonderful. All the cast is remarkable with their songs. This is a great companion to the movie, which you should also pick up. If you any bit of a "Godspell" fan, this is a CD you have to buy.
