Musical
1996 London Cast

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics by Tim Rice

Description / My Opinion
Amazon.com - Ordered 04.28.2000 - Shipped 06.02.2000 - Received 06.23.2000

Orchestrations by : Andrew Lloyd Webber

Recorded at Whitfield Street Studios, CTS Studios, Metropolis Studios, Air Studios (Lyndhurst Hall), Olympic Studios, London, The Enterprise Studio, L.A.

The booklet contains the lyrics (nice!!!), one small B&W picture for each of the cast members and... and that's all. As for Riverdance On Broadway, no effort has been done to include at least a small information text about that particular recording (which cast it is, ...). That is not very consistent with the quality of the booklet paper, the fact that the lyrics are included, the recording sound quality and the performances, which are really great. This has been well done for the 2000 reissue of The Fantasticks, why not for Jesus Christ Superstar? There is probably so much to say that I'd love to read about! There is no 'complete' track list that would list the performers or roles for each song (this can be guessed thanks to the lyrics, but it's always better when there is one).

I also like this recording of JCS very much. The rendering of Gethsemane is really fantastic, and there are some great moments in it. The sound quality is very modern and the score has been lightly altered in some places, making is maybe a little less seventies.
