Free Music Notes for The Cradle Will Rock: Original 1985 Cast Recording
Free Music Review: One disc, not two. Intro missing.
Hit: 4 Stars
I purchased this CD recently through Amazon. The music and cast are excellent, bringing to life a theater legend that is very relevant to the times we live in today (2010).
Unfortunately, this version is now one disc, not two, and John Houseman's 12 minute intro is not part of it anymore. I am disappointed as I was looking forward to hearing the story as recounted by somewhere who was a central character in the drama of the play's first performance.
Free Music Review: Blitzstein Revival
Hit: 2 Stars
I had wanted the 196? revival of this show starring Jerry Orbach which is not available on CD so I was glad to have one I did not have to worry about scratching it. However, it was my fault in that I really wanted the Orbach. This revival is somewhat lacking in the energy and the appreciation of the sarcasm of the earlier one. Perhaps someone who had not seen the earlier revival or the film about the infamous opening [and cloing] night of the original production would not know what was missing in this one but I did.
