Music reviews of Candide: The New Broadway Cast Recording (1997 Revival)
Music Review: A distressing mish mash
Rating: 2 Stars
Out of sheer masochism I keep up with each new revision of Candide in hopes that its crippled libretto will one day be made whole. This 1997 Broadway revival manaages to be such a mish mash of styles that it's not in the running to be considered even a halfhearted success. The Candide is sung by a punchy, lightweight Broadway tenor out of "42nd Street," the Cunegonde is flat out operatic, without the slightest hint of a smile (she's an atrocious mismatch with Candide), and Pangloss is the usual creaky character actor with scant singing voice.
There's no need to continue about the rewrites and reorchestrations, none of them sactioned by the composer. Look elswhere for a Candide that's truer to the spirit of the original, beginning with the classic cast album on Sony with Barbara Cook at ehr best and the rousing Robert Rounseville in the title role.
