Music reviews of Cabaret: Original Soundtrack Recording (1972 Film)
Music Review: Don't bother with a remake! Liza is simply perfect!
Rating: 5 Stars
The film, Cabaret, based on the Broadway and West End musical only uses the music in the cabaret scenes during the decadent Berlin era before Hitler rose to power in 1933. Before Hitler's reign of terror, Berlin was host to nightclubs like the Kit Kat Club. In my opinion, the film and it's soundtrack are superior and perfect compared to the revivals. Only Liza can sing as brilliantly. To me, she will always be Sally Bowles, the tortured childlike singer who can sing dark and enchanting songs to melt your heart. The film also included Joel Grey who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor as the Cabaret's maestro. Even Tony Winner Alan Cumming can't come close to filling Joel's shoes. I'm sorry but I always get angry when they revise Cabaret as if Liza and Joel and their cast didn't do it and did perfectly in the film version by Bob Fosse. The chilling, Tomorrow Belongs to Me, always sends chills down my spine as the the war and the Holocaust are near to the unsuspecting Germans in Berlin at the time. As a child of parents who lived through the war, Cabaret is not a fun, silly light-hearted musical. It deals with prejudice particularly anti-Semitism, the Nazis, abortions, and sexual orientation. Despite all the dark subjects, Cabaret broke the traditional light-hearted musicals with the exception of West Side Story. Cabaret is about as dark as you can get without getting lost and trapped in a time of uncertainty. Cabaret with Joel Grey and Liza Minnelli is a masterpiece with the cast members and crew members. I don't have a desire to see Cabaret unless it's with Liza and Joel even despite their age. Nobody does it better or could come close to perfection as their partnership does in this film and soundtrack.
Description of Cabaret: Original Soundtrack Recording (1972 Film)
Cheated out of playing nightclub canary Sally Bowles on Broadway in director Hal Price's Cabaret, Liza Minnelli nevertheless delivered an Oscar-winning star turn in Bob Fosse's cinematic reinvention of the show (which had the good sense to retain perverse imp Joel Grey from the stage production). Although the 1972 film discarded several songs from the original score, the new ones sound even better: Minnelli's breast-beating "Maybe This Time," the sultry "Mein Herr," and the salaciously satirical "Money, Money." By placing almost all the pertinent musical action on the stage of the decadent Kit Kit Club, the Kurt Weill-like compositional nuances and political underpinnings bask in the spotlight...that is, when Minnelli stops eclipsing it with her no-holds-barred performance. --Kurt B.
