Music reviews of Songs from Sweeney Todd (Accompaniment 2-CD Set)
Music Review: Excellant Orchestration
Rating: 4 Stars
I bought this CD bc I needed to perform a song from it for a Musical Review and needed a good accompaniment. This CD did just that. The Orchestrations and tempos are very accurate to the Original Cast Recording and do well for supplying a professional sounding back-up track.
That being said, I must say I was just a tad disappointed when I heard the very synthesized brass blaring at the beginning of "God, That's Good!". This particular recording uses keyboards and computers to reproduce the score. Although you can't really tell for the most part, sometimes it can be rather obvious. The singers are a tad annoying here as well. They are very good singers, however, they really aren't acting the role well. They play their charecters undeveloped and sound like they don't really know what their charecter is doing or feeling. I know it's not a Cast Recording and they aren't supposed to be acting it, but it's still irritating when any performace of "A Little Preist" feels hollow and unfun. Also, the CD boasts being in the same Keys and Tempos of the Original Cast Recording, the very beginning of "Pretty Women" is obiously slower. Although I prefer the slower recording, I was surprised that they made a change after making such a blatent claim.
In Conclusion, The CD works well for what it is intended for, but not much else.
