Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

It was surely only a matter of time until Tim Burton turned his dark attentions to the 19th century tale of Sweeney Todd, the cutthroat barber whose tales of murder and most grisly commerce on the streets of London became the stuff of an award winning 1979 musical. Here, a cast including longtime Burton collaborators Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter--plus Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall and Sasha Baron-Cohen–-breathe new life into Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s musical tale with a special gothic relish for the simmering horror within. Depp’s accomplished, haunted "No Place Like London" sets the scene for what’s to come, the nation’s capital introduced as a moral abyss ("There's a hole in the world like a great black pit/And the vermin of the world inhabit it"), while Bonham-Carter brings Cockney energy and a squirt of sauce to the "The Worst Pies in London". A neat comic turn, meanwhile, comes courtesy of Baron-Cohen, who plays the role of Italian barber Adolfo Pierelli–-inventor of a fraudulent anti-balding lotion–-with humorous gusto ("The Contest"). –-Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars For Lovers of the Film, 22 Jan 2008
This soundtrack is fantastic for those who love the new Tim Burton film. It is not a substitute for the Broadway OCR, as many of the songs are shortened or missing (although the Johanna reprise with Sweeney's extra melody is here and was cut from the Broadway album), but the film actors really do bring something new to the whole piece. It probably isn't great if you haven't seen the film, but for those who have, it's brilliant!

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better soundtrack albums, 19 Jan 2008
By Alan Bowie (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been looking for a recording of Sweeney Todd for a while, and decided a few months ago to wait for this version rather than get one of the older recordings. I am glad that I did. The quality of the singing and the interpretation by all concerned is excellent. He is a keen guitar player, so it is no surprise that Johnny Depp has a good singing voice (even if he does seem to be doing his best "tonight Matthew I'm going to be David Bowie" impression), but the surprise standout for me was Helena Bonham Carter, who delivers the comic highlight of the album "A little priest".
The closing track is a little confusing as a stand alone audio experience, but this is presumably because the action that it accompanies is more visual than that of earlier in the production.
I would recommend this album to anyone who enjoys musicals. While not as emotionally gripping as Les Miserables, or as laugh out loud funny as Avenue Q, it is a polished production of one of Sondheim's more accessible works.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Demon Barber of ..., 21 Dec 2007
By J. T. Eaton (Reading, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I couldn't decide how I felt about this film being made. Part of me was very excited and the other half was deeply sceptical.
So here is the soundtrack - complete apparently.
Just from looking at the tracklisting, it becomes clear that the whole show is not in the film. However, any adaptation needs changes and as the thing has been overseen by Mr Sondheim himself then I suppose that will have to do.
The first thing that struck me about this recording is the massive orchestration and great overall sound - it truly is huge and will send shivers down with your spine.
There is no chorus - we can only see how that pans out in the film - but the vocal talents here are pretty good. Johnny Depp has a nice voice which he has made suit the character as he portrays it - not as strong as one may expect from Sweeney but enticing and individual. Helena Bonham-Carter is excellent as Mrs Lovett and the casting overall is very good - especially Edward Sanders as Toby.
Purists may turn away with disgust at this recording, but I highly recommend it to any fan of the show and those who are yet to experience the demon barber...
