4.0 out of 5 stars One can never have too much Sondheim. 24 July 2012
Format:Audio CD
Sondheim's passion and dedication for his older works is admirable. Rather than cast aside those works that didn't reach the heights of Company or Sweeney Todd, Sondheim is a committed artist, willing to experiment and bring on new collaborators to bring out different nuances in his works. Moreso than Follies or Road Show, this spirit of innovation is most evident in the evolution of his score for "Merrily We Roll Along".

The quality of the recording is excellent. Some of the vocals on the album aren't technically polished and I must confess I am still rather partial to the Original Broadway Cast recording. But the fact remains that Merrily... will never be a huge blockbuster musical, and this is the case with many Sondheim works. They are nevertheless gems for avid theatregoers and fans of the musical theatre who desperately wish for the artform to continually evolve, with or without the co-operation of mainstream commercial interests. As such it is always a treat to have a recording of a Sondheim score. The Merrily recording preserves a lot of the revisions, along with much dialogue.

This recording reflects the New York Encores! staging of the work, which I unfortunately didn't get to see. It has, however, renewed my interest in seeing this show performed and this score given the audience it deserves, and as such I enthusiastically await the staging at the Menier Chocolate Factory in London at the end of this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars The new standard 5 Sep 2012
By Eric J. Akawie - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been listening to the Original Broadway Cast recording of Merrily We Roll Along for 20 years or more. I've bought other recordings of the show, but never listened to them more than 2 or 3 times. The performances never measured up to the original, and the new songs never came to life for me - "Th Blob" etc. were unwelcome distractions from the show I knew and loved.

But this recording has earned a pride of place next to the original. I've listened to it again and again since buying it, and it's made me appreciate the changes, and embrace the new performances. Plus the crisp, clear production is miles above the low, muddy RCA CD I've been playing for all those years. I can't recommend it enough to fans of the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treat. 10 July 2012
By Carlos - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Great album from the Encores! series. As it includes parts of the book it is the first recording that actually could be heared as a whole. The songs are gorgeous and the performances very good and credible. The only but is the new arragement, but I think that it is a matter of time to get used to it. One of Sondheim's masterpieces, a glorious flop!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful CD! 13 July 2012
By ayee - Published on Amazon.com

This is a great CD - the full orchestra sounds fantastic. Everyone sings beautifully. In some cases, the singing is better on this CD than when it was sung live. Listening to the CD really feels like you seeing the show again, because it includes a lot of dialogue. I saw the show (but didnt have a great seat) so now I feel like I have a seat in the orchestra!
