Free Music Notes for Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street Deluxe - Complete EditionFree Music Review: Sondheim Greatness Hit: 4 StarsThis is a disc full of songs from a master composer, Stephen Sondheim. This is one of his best works. I think only those that are a fan of musicals will really enjoy this product. Also I would not suggest the deluxe edition except for the hardcore fans. The extra's you get are really not worth the price of admission.
Free Music Review: In his own words "I'm a gypsy" Hit: 5 StarsHe's proven it time and again in so many of his movies. Beginning with Tim Burton's Edward Scissor hands and now Sweeney Todd.
Musicals & plays on/off stage are among the movies I tend to watch over and over and over again. I adore Phantom of the Opera. I generally purchase the accompanied CD to listen to while I work. Listening to a soundtrack makes me feel as if I'm watching the movie all over again. After boring everyone around with my incessant musical CD's I eventually watch the movie again and enjoy it so much more. I hear the details, I get the little inuendos usally missed while watching.
Not everyone knows this but Johnny Depp opened a club in Hollywood/Beverly Hills area and had his own band (before Vanessa and the kids). He began playing guitar at a young age and music is one of his passions. So I wasn't surprised that he took the part. I'm GLAD he did because now he is allowing us to enjoy his beautiful voice. Prior to Sweeney Todd few were able to catch him singing.
Sweeney Todd the CD is eerie like when you feel like someone is right behind you but you're alone at home. Ha-ha. Funny but true. I like the CD and definitely Recommend purchasing. Who knows if we'll ever hear him sing again?
Other favorite Johnny Depp movies:
Don Juan DeMarco
What's Eating Gilbert Grape (Special Collector's Edition)
Chocolat
Donnie Brasco (Special Edition)
Blow (Infinifilm Edition)
From Hell (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Trivia:
The Viper Room (club in Hollywood) was the place where River Phoenix overdosed and died at a very young age.
Johnny said on "The Actor's Studio" that he never thought of himself or wanted to be an actor. It just kinda happened and he went with the flow. Music was his passion.
He now lives in France with girlfriend Vanessa Paradis and two young children.
Free Music Review: A welcome change! Hit: 5 StarsI love this soundtrack. The vocals are definately a new twist to a brilliantly directed movie. A must see and hear! I only wish I could see Depp and Carter on Broadway instead!
Free Music Review: Pretty good soundtrack Hit: 4 StarsI just had to write a review for this since I wanted to make some things clear for those that seem to have missed the point: this is a soundtrack to a movie NOT a stage production.
I find that comparing movie actors and stage professionals is, in short, just dumb. Of COURSE Depp and Carter and the rest don't compare to actual singers but that's because they aren't singers. They are actors. Like in the Moulin Rouge and Chicago movie adaptations.
This soundtrack is a nice addition to be enjoyed by fans of the movie and/or the actors themselves. If, however, you are looking for spectacular performances then you probably won't like it.
But, then again, why are you even checking out a MOVIE soundtrack when you know movie actors and not professional singers are performing in it?!?
Yes, I suggest to anyone interested in the Sweeney Todd musical to check the original cast recording, etc but, if you aren't into musicals and just enjoyed the movie then go ahead and get this. I have the original cast recording and this and enjoy both IMMENSELY!
