The booklet contains 9 nice color photos of the show.
A fantastic recording, more operatic than RCA/Victor, with some real opera voices. When I said Candide was between musical and opera, I was not completely false and this recording proves that opera voices are perfect for this score. This is a very interesting recording to have. But as there are no lyrics, one may prefer RCA/Victor's New Broadway Cast recording to discover this incredible musical. On the other hand, there are some differences between the two recordings, that is there are songs that are not on one that are on the other, and having the two recordings seems necessary to any Candide lover.
