Music reviews of The Scarlet Pimpernel: Encore! (1998 Broadway Revival Cast)
Music Review: WARNING - MP3 tracks are not the right ones!
Rating: 1 Stars
Those who know this album know that it is rather unique - a reshuffling of songs from other "Pimpernel" cast albums, with a handful of new songs added in (recorded by Rachel York and Rex Smith). Others have pointed out this difference, and discussed its pros and cons. I am writing now to warn everyone that the MP3 tracks listed on this product are NOT ALL CORRECT.
Many of the tracks (copies of the same ones from the Scarlet Pimpernel Original Broadway Cast recording) are indeed listed correctly. However, tracks 2 (Storybook), 6 (Falcon In The Dive), 9 (Where's The Girl), 20 (You Are My Home) and 21 (Only Love) as posted, as of this writing, are NOT the versions of those songs from this album. They should be recordings of the songs by Rachel York, Rex Smith, Linda Eder and Peabo Bryson, and instead they are the tracks from the OBC with Christine Andreas, Terrence Mann and Gilles Chiasson. It's all well and good if those are the tracks that you want, but they're not the right tracks that are on the "Encore!" album!
I have written in to customer support twice to ask that these be changed, waited several weeks after each time (I did get a semi-automated reply saying someone would work on it), but the incorrect tracks are still listed. So I just wanted to put this warning out there, so that people aren't confused or misled by what they can buy. This applies only to the MP3 downloads available for this album, as they stand as of this writing. I sincerely hope that Amazon will correct the issue.
I would give the album itself 4 stars. But my rank for the MP3 download offering is 1 star, as long as this problem persists.
Description of The Scarlet Pimpernel: Encore! (1998 Broadway Revival Cast)
After a "concept" CD and then an original cast album, this is the third recording of Frank Wildhorn's The Scarlet Pimpernel. What basically happened was that the show was faltering on Broadway, but a couple of deep-pocketed producers saw it, loved it, and decided to finance a revised version with a new director and new cast members (Rachel York replacing Christine Andreas and Rex Smith replacing Terrence Mann). This Encore CD mixes recordings by both casts and adds two bonus tracks (by Peabo Bryson and Wildhorn powerhouse Linda Eder) from the concept recording. The protracted history here may be as hard to follow as the show's plot, but then Pimpernel has always been about more than mere narrative subtleties. It's about bombast, showmanship, in-your-face theatrics, and a couple of power ballads. And it's all on this recording. --Elisabeth VincentelliGeneral CDs
