Music reviews of Evita (1978 Original Broadway Cast)
Music Review: Evita, "premiere american recording"
Rating: 1 Stars
I am returning the defective product today. The factory sealed jewel box contained two copies of disc 2. It was missing disc 1. Ergo, this is a USELESS product. I was totally unable to address this issue via your web site ... a major demerit against shopping with Amazon ever again. Please look out for this returned c.d., and when you send me a replacement, be 100% sure that it too is not defective, or that will be "it!"
Description of Evita (1978 Original Broadway Cast)
Evita was Andrew Lloyd Webber's last show with Tim Rice before he went on to projects with less interesting collaborators, so it's no surprise that it remains his most consistently involving and rewarding work. Loosely based on the life of Eva Peron, the charismatic wife of post-World War II Argentine president Juan Peron, Rice's compelling story of one woman's rise from poverty to power is complemented by Lloyd Webber's colorful music as propelled by vigorous Latin rhythms. The showstopper, of course, is "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina," but the score is full of gems, including "On This Night of a Thousand Stars," "Oh, What a Circus," and "Another Suitcase in Another Hall." Headlining the 1978 Broadway cast, Patti LuPone is fabulous in the title role, showcasing her big voice and brash egotism in the role she was born to play. Mandy Patinkin is Che, the Greek-chorus character commenting on and criticizing the Perons, and his tenor is sweet on the ballads and powerful on the driving numbers. LuPone and Patinkin made their names with Evita (and took home well-deserved Tonys), but it's the third principal, Bob Gunton, who elevates this cast to the stratosphere. As Peron--a role often filled by a nonsinger--Gunton inflects his strong voice with both menace and sensitivity. Forget the movie; this is the definitive version of this score, and an essential cast recording. --David HoriuchiGeneral CDs
