Les Mis - enough said August 4, 2008

This is my favorite Broadway production. This is the best recording of Les Mis available.

Like so many others, I have never been so deeply effected by any other staged musical. It is somewhat like going to mass. I know the story. I have seen the turntable production multible times in multiple countries. And still, whenever I find myself at a location near a live performance, I feel compelled to go again. I know that I will always be so moved as to feel marvel that such a feast of story, sights, and sounds can be put together in a single theatrical production. Somehow it seems to renew something inside of me that is good.
This play has so few spoken words that it is rather like an opera. It has inspired me to buy virtually every recording associated with it (even the French concept album)... searching for that heart felt experience. This album, better than any other, allows you to re-experience the entire play. It is a treasure.

I have this recording memorized front to back, and when my old cassettes finally wore out, it was time to replace them digitally. Well of course it sounds phenomenal, and the booklet has all the cast info plus all the lyrics and a synopsis of the plot. I can't compare this with the other recordings, but it's my favorite as I grew up with this one.

I bought this recording and the the London original cast CD at the same time. I like the London version better BUT~ I didn't realize that the London version was abridged!! So MENTALLY I'm a "bit" disappointed. I've seen the musical 3 times and can't get enough of "Les Mis"
Exellent! January 13, 2008

This is by far THE BEST recording of Les Mis ever. I own the Original London recording and this one, this is so much better. I have grown up to the music of Les Miserables, and have always enjoyed the music. Colm Wilkinson, who does the London and Broadway recordings is good, but I think he is rivaled by Gary Morris in this version. I feel more power in Morris' portrayal of Val-Jean, yet Wilkinson is "the original." Phillip Quast is amazing as Javert, and Fantine has a very heartfelt performance in "I Dreamed a Dream." The orchestra extremely augments the feeling created in this performance. I listen to it again and again. No Les Miserables enthusiast can go without this version. On the other hand, this version will make many fans of this classic musical.
