Non-English language cast recordings appreciation? |
I really appreciate the Dutch cast recording of The Phantom of the Opera, because the Christine is just sublime.

I'm curious to know how many of you are into listening to Non-English language cast recordings, they might be hard to get your hands on but some of them include different orchestrations and slightly different versions of songs from the OBC albums, which can always be fun to listen to.
What is it about them that you find most appealing? The different orchestrations, the sound of the language, the performers? I recently got the chance tolisten to the Evita Danish cast recording (2001) and I'm really digging its jazzy and chamber-music like orchestrations. A couple more that Ireally enjoy listening to are the 2005 Brazilian cast recording of Side by Side by Sondheim and the 2003 Brazilian cast of Company.
I'm hoping to start posting more often from now on these boards!"
Is there an online resource to purchase these? Would love the foreign language Sondheim shows.
German Hunchback needs to be in everyone’s collection, period
The original Madrid recording of Evita is extraordinary for the orchestrations. By contrast, the Korean recording of Evita is hilariously awful. There are moments the chorus and orchestra aren't even in sync.

Sadly, I don't know any ! These recordings are hard to come by. I was able to get my hands on these Brazilian recordings from an aquaintance who happened to have some promo CDs which he got from someone he knew who was involved with the production of these shows.

What is it about that particular cast recording of Les Miz that you like so much? Just curious!
