5.0 out of 5 stars Assassins - second original Broadway cast, 3 Aug 2004

By	Ken Bailey "Ken Bailey" (London, UK) - See all my reviews

Not many shows get two original cast recordings. The first one (1991) was off-Broadway. Now the 2004 cast recording has been released.

Comparisons are inevitable. They are different - buy both!

The new recording has more tracks: dialogue scenes; new song - "Something Just Broke" - written for London (where I live. And the CD arrived on release day!)

The first reaction is how much more immediate the new recording is. Songs start with dialogue leading brilliantly into songs. "How I Saved Roosevelt" is wonderfully clear. In performance it can seem chaotic - not here.

In "The Gun Song", the sound of Guiteau's gun seems odd - probably because it is authentic and unexpected. I prefer the way 'tune' is pronounced. In the 1991 recording it is 'toon'.

Like the DVD of Dogma (special edition) the label omits the title. Symbolically the title, Assassins, is on the reverse of the CD.

I hope someone buys a copy for Condoleezza Rice who was unaware of Sam Byck's crime. Worrying!

Overall the performances are committed and powerful. There is great swagger in the performances. Another great Sondheim recording!

So which is the better?

Both!

Just buy it!
