Music reviews of The Scarlet Pimpernel (1991 Concept Cast)

Music Review: A good pimpernel recording
Rating: 4 Stars

This SP recording is good, but not as good as the OBC one. Get this for the deleted songs, which are great: "Home Again," "Marguerite," "Now When the Rain Falls," "Our Seperate Ways," and "There Never Was A Time." These all are great songs, especially "Marguerite," "Our Seperate Ways," and "There Never Was A Time." There is a different version of "The Scarlet Pimpernel," which is quite amusing, as is the slightly altered version of "The Creation of Man." "Storybook" sounds more French on this recording, and is quite good. "Into the Fire" is quite different, and I can't say that I particularly like it, compared to the one on the OBC recording. However, standing alone, it is pretty good. The little version of "They Seek Him Here" is just over a minute long, but is pretty good. Linda Eder's version of "When I Look at You" is not very good at all, but might appeal more to people who like a more modern feel. The same goes for "You Are My Home." "Madame Guillotine" is sung with more emotion, but otherwise it can't compare with the OBC one. I rather liked the Chauvelin/Marguerite duet version of "The Riddle-" I thought it was terrible at first, but it grew on me and now I think it's pretty good. I didn't particularly like the jazz in "I'll Forget You," but it was pretty good otherwise, although it dosen't live up to the one on the Encore recording. As for the instrumental songs, "Marguerite Prelude" is a short musical preview of "Marguerite," and although quite pretty, not needed. "Scarlet Interlude" is a song that is themusic which the overeture(on the OBC recording)plays just until the exciting part comes. It is quite useless, really. "Pimpernel Fanfare" is a.k.a. the overeture on the OBC recording, with slightly different instruments.
One other thing: PERCY NEEDS MORE SONGS!!! He dosen't even have an entirely solo song, something that Chauvelin has. He sings in "Into the Fire," which is mostly solo, but not quite, the first part of "They Seek Him Here" is solo, a solo/duet with the Prince of Wales in "The Creation of Man," and a solo/duet with Marguerite in "There Never Was A Time." So, in all he sings in four songs, none of which are completly solo.(He also has a few solo lines in "The Scarelt Pimpernel," but that can hardly be counted.)Marguerite, on the other hand, has way to many songs. She sings in a total of nine songs, five of which are completley solo. I think it is quite unfair to poor Percy. :>(
Over all, this is split 75/25 with good to bad, and is quite worth getting if you already have theOBC or Encore recordings. However, DO NOT get this if you do not already have a SP album. The songs are all out of order, and this one can't compare to the others anyway. But over all, I like this one, and it is worth buying.
