I waited a week to get this through in the post after adding it to my list of 'must-buy' musical soundtracks. The first thing that struck me was the very first notes of the first track "Kesa". It's obvious LaChiusa has drawn heavily on Asian music. This is obviously partly due to the show being based on Akutagawa's Rashomon and other stories.

Idina Menzel's vocal quality seems to have evolved yet again. She takes on a eerie quality as the doomed Japanese wife Kesa.

Mary Testa's "Greatest Practical Joke" is big and brash, showing off her vocal quality. Kudisch shows off perfectly the performance described as being one with 'the body of a lion and the voice an angel' (and it really is a voice of an angel)... Lohr's scene with Menzel in 'You'll go Away with me' is intense and his portrayl is, in my opinion, the closest to the style of the story 'In the [bamboo] grove by akutagawa - his cold resignation to the criminal way of life is resonating.

My personal favourites are Idina Menzel's performances in "No More" and "Coffee", Lohr's "Curiosity" and "Rising up".

The latter is possibly one of the most breathtaking pieces of modern music theatre i have heard in a long time. Henry Stram's Priest in the second act sings the closing moments of the show with a vocal clarity and tone that could melt a thousand hearts.

Even though I loved the music in the show, one thing was odd. I didn't really get the relationship between the two acts. They were very different in style and theme. If that was intended, its a little offputting. I would also agree with some critics who suggested the show to be so deep it might lose the plot a little bit? What exactly is it trying to say?

Either way, you're buying it for the music, which is stunning.

Enjoy!

Orignially I was a little dissapointed by it but like most musical soundtracks it takes a few listens to become accustomed to the style and story it became one of the prizes of my musical collection.

Great performances by all with both good fun songs ('See What I Wanna See','The Greatest Practical Joke') and amazingly sung ballads with really moving subjects ('There Will Be A Miricle', 'Louie', 'Kesa' and 'Morito' (same song different singers).

A good, rich, deep, illegent musical.
