Music reviews of Chess In Concert (1994 Swedish Concert Cast)
Music Review: a beautiful recording
Rating: 5 Stars
I might be a little biased- this was the first version of "chess" that I listened to, so I naturally became accustomed to the vocal subtleties inherent in this particular recording... I've come to believe that these subtleties are essential to what makes this recording so lucidly memorable.
None of the recordings have thrilled me the way this one has. I love that it's live- you can feel the energy of the performers as well as the audience; also, certain performances and tracks off of this album are undeniably outstanding. "Pity the Child" is a moving and powerful performance, "Nobody's Side" is a ballad that would incite bitterness from the most optimistic of us, and, above all, "Endgame" is absolutely convincing and heart-wrenching: its buildups and climaxes are powerfully visceral.
This musical is underrated and underperformed, and this is the best version of the soundtrack I've come across.
