Free Music Notes for Notre Dame de Paris
Free Music Review: Incredible
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this CD. It was incredible. The voices, the music, everything...Free Music Review: Le Miz meets Cirque de Soleil
Hit: 4 Stars
I love the music for the show. It is lyrical and emotional. One does not need to understand French to follow the pathos of the story. Fortunately, however, the DVD does offer the choice to have English subtitles. I have now watched this video 3 times and the parts of it I loved the first time I love even more now.
My complaint with this DVD is not the show but the editing. I have no idea what this show really looks like. I think the choreography is spectacular but, again, who knows. The film editing is done in MTV style, a cut to a different angle every 15 seconds. The staging for this show is huge which befits Notre Dame. The choreography uses the whole stage horizontially and vertically but because of the manic editing you have to watch the dance numbers several times to get an appreciation for this.
The look and style of the show is gorgeous. There is never any doubt that this is going to have a tragic ending. Don't buy this if you are expecting a French version of the Disney cartoon. (And because of Disney this will probably never be produced in the US)
And the actors... amazing, beautiful, soaring. But my favorite is Gringoire. And the actor who is Clopin is so good that I wanted to reach through the screen and throttle him myself. Ah, enjoy!
If you want a taste of this show, search for it on YouTube. Also look for the Italian version. French is the language of love, but Italian is the language of song.
Free Music Review: Great songs from great musical
Hit: 4 Stars
i have wathced the musical "Notre Dame de Paris" may be 8-10 times. Of course the main reason was the spectacular songs. And then i bought it Soundtrack CD. While listening i feel as if was watching the DVD..
i can't speak French but i wondered the meaning of the lyrics. i translate them on internet. Then i liked the songs one more time. Not only for their melody and compositions but also for meaninf of their lyrics. shortly you wont regret if you have this album.
Free Music Review: Pretty Good
Hit: 4 Stars
I love parts of this CD, to name one, "Belle". Beautifull! I love Garou, Patrick Fiori, Natasha St-Pier and Daniel Lavoies' voices! And because of this Cd have bought more of Natasha and Patrick's work.
Have to say this was not my favorite Cd at first, but after hearing "Belle" on one of Garou's concert DVD's I had to find were it came from, and in the end I have not been disappionted.
Free Music Review: The musical lacks talented voices
Hit: 2 Stars
I read the other reviews of this CD on Amazon. The reviews were very favorable, so I purchased the CD. I am learning the French language, so I am trying to get my hands on as much French material as I can.However, I was very disappointed in this musical. I am a great lover of musicals. Notre Dame de Paris singers have very weak voices that do not carry well at all. Some of the singers sound as though they have sore throats! If you like musicals and great singers, this CD may disappoint you.
The lyrics to all the songs are included. This would have been great to help me with learning the language, but I can't stand the bad singing. I wish that I hadn't purchased it.
