Summary: senastional
Comment: les miserables is often considered one of the best musicals of our time which is probably true in
certain respects. firstly, it does give the chorus much deserved focus in many of the numbers
allowing us to have one massive picture and the leads are well developed (if not totally true to the
book coughEponinecough). Now i think all the numbers are well sung by everyone here and although the
chorus could never hope to match that of the gargantuan TAC which had 250 performers they still do
well in numbers like at the end of the day. If you are obsessed with the show and know it off by
heart then you may be shocked by the changes here- this is the oldest version available and does
differ from the show we know today- it is also not complete and does slow the numers down, which
although works well with numbers such as confontation does slightly make one day more less
enjoyable. As for the big Eponine frances v lea controversy i dont think anyone can really pick
between them as they both display different qualities. Lea the technically perfect, frances the raw
emotion, i personally enjoy listening to both there renditions of on my own and find frances voice
charming. she is the eponine on this recording and for anyone who loves eponines character but
strongly objects to her voice i would not recommend this version. If you are indifferent or like her
voice then this recording is great. It offers songs that are not on other recording (full version of
little people, in my life) and is well worth the money for all those les miserables fans out there.
