Customer Reviews
This recording offers a great deal over and above the original cast recording. The story flows better, Someone Else's Story is a fabulous song and the majority of the good stuff is left well alone. Vocally it is solid but it doesn't have anything to set it apart dramatically from some of the other recordings.
What it doesn't do is offer a good base for any amateurs that are performing the show (in the UK). If you can find a copy of the Danish version of Chess then go with that in preference to this one. It has Someone Else's Story and it also has Soviet Machine and Merano - songs that are fundamental to the show for me.
If you're buying for the pleasure of listening then I'd advocate the original London cast recording over this but that's more personal preference than anything else.
But if you're looking for a template to help you when performing "Chess" hunt like mad for the Danish version (which is in English) of the show. It is a very good version of the show that is all but note for note with the score that you'll receive.
A smaller piece (or so it seems) than the original recording but with several additions, including the beautiful Hungarian lullaby this is a lovely recording of a very underrated musical.
the epic feel of the musical extravaganza has gone..and has much of the original story!
most of the story and the songs are reworked but the mastery is lacking!
for fans of abba its interesting! for fans of "chess" its an interesting interpretation! but if you are new to chess please buy the original cd...its a hundred times better...the sound..the vocals..the orchestration is so much bigger and better..and the actual story is easier to follow than this version!
a nice add on or follow up but not a good introduction
