Free Music Notes for The Cradle Will Rock: Original 1985 Cast Recording
Free Music Review: A must-have
Hit: 5 Stars
My parents had a recording of this on 8" reel tape when I was a kid. We listened to it a lot, along with the Fantastiks and a few other stage pieces. At eight I loved "the nickle under my foot." Now at forty-nine I am remembering so many parts that flew over my young head in earlier days! And love listening to of all people Patti Lupone as Moll... I once heard her in London doing Evita, and the range between those two parts...holy schnikes but she's good. As are the rest of this cast!
The Cradle Will Rock: Original 1985 Cast Recording Poster
Marc Blitzstein's The Cradle Will Rock is now remembered mainly for its dramatic opening night, immortalized in Tim Robbins's film of the same name. (Circumventing a ban on the show, director Orson Welles led the cast into an impromptu performance, with Blitzstein himself at the piano.) But this essential recording, only the second of Cradle in its entirety (along with the 1994 Los Angeles cast recording), reminds us that Blitzstein had written a grand, passionate show, one that brilliantly wove musical and spoken narratives into vignettes that formed a vibrant attack on capitalist greed and exploitation. This isn't your traditional escapist fare, but the story is truly gripping and still resonates today. Patti LuPone's heartwrenching interpretation of "The Nickel Under Your Foot" easily ranks among her finest moments. --Elisabeth VincentelliBroadway & Vocalists Music CDs
