Editorial Reviews: "Everything a West End musical should be"
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: See the show first Comment: You have to see this show to fully appreciate the score on this CD. Because Boubil and Schonberg have written this with Michel Legrand, memories of Legrand's wonderful music and LES MIS come immeadiately to mind. Unfortunately the CD needs repeated playings until you begin to enjoy the music. For quick joy the ballad "Dreams,shining dreams" and " Time was when" are excellant and there is some dialogue and evocative sound between tracks giving the French resistance in Paris feel that helps in understanding the piece. Ruthie Henshall is wonderful but I did feel there should be more excellant Boubil and Shonberg Ballads to stick in my mind. Go see the show,then you'll want the album. Customer Rating: Summary: Great recording Comment: This CD has something very special for a soundtrack. It completely recreates the sound and atmosphere of the live show bringing back many fond memories. The songs are extremely well sung by a superb cast and wilst some say the music is not particularly memorable I completely disagree. I play Time Was When everytime I'm on my laptop and the rest of the score is passionate, subtle and moving. A must see musical and a must have album! Customer Rating: Summary: marguerite the musical Comment: Saw this show july 2008. A really moving performance from both Ruthie Henshall(magnificent) and Julian Ovenden. The music is heavenly from start to finish and it is definitely a must see again tear jerker. Wonderful. Customer Rating: Summary: Superb music from a superb show Comment: I saw this show in June 2008 and it was excellent. Both Ruthie Henshall's and Julien Ovenden's voices stand out and there are several songs which get under your skin and you find yourself playing them over and over in your head without even realising it. However, I have to say the music itself largely does not stand out. The show was more like a play with music, rather than a musical, and to fully appreciate the music, it helps to have the imagery and stage atmosphere in your mind. In summary, if you've not seen the show live on stage, I am unsure of how big an impact this album will have on you. On the other hand, if you've seen the show, this album is a must have. I look forward to reliving the music again to take me back to that night in June... More Reviews
