I like Kate Shindle a lot, actually. I love whatever she's doing for A PERFECT LIFE, I dunno what that's called, but it's fun to listen to... I guess just annunciating and putting emphasis on different words... and her "belting" for the finale is neat. still, the orchestrations, at least in these 30 second clips sound a lot like the Broadway demos. especially "Fresh Blood", but the drums are stronger... louder or whatever... that's cool. (?)

The orchestrations DO sound good.
I will buy this only for Euan Morton.

'Life after Life' sounds terrible - what's with them not being together AT ALL? Is that intentional? I mean, obviously, it is...it's just...wow....interesting choice...

It sounds terrible. James Barbour sounds like he's doing a Tom Hewitt impression.

I will buy it.
BUT, it doesn't really sound like anything we haven't heard from Frank before. I'll probably fall in love with it though. Of course you can never trust concept recordings. One minute they have great songs (Bring on the Men, Girls of the Night) and the next minute they don't.
Sorry I still have some repressed Jekyll and Hyde feelings.

Ooo, I have always loved Lauren Kennedy [saw a clip of her as Fantine], and she sounds beautiful. I like it.

I am really very excited about this concept recording, I think it sounds fabulous! I am curious though as to why Frank wasn't able to go with this musical "concept" in the show? I think it would have done so much better as it sounds on this recording. The musical when it opened seemed to make Wildhorn sound like something he's not, but then I remembered that the orchestrations were by Doug Besterman. After hearing the clips of this concept recording, it makes me wish that Wildhorn would've stayed with what he is so known for, his fabulous pop/rock mix of Broadway...That is him...AND ISN'T IT FABULOUS! I will definitely be purchasing this cd, and will probably have it in my cd player all of the time, lol...I think Frank Wildhorn is a great composer for the contemporary, more modern, theatre world!
To Jeremy Roberts:
I think the orchestrations are what truely make a show come alive and give it the feeling that was intended. I think that they sound awesome, and you and Frank Wildhorn as a team compliment each other so well. I think Frank can now say that his original vision for Dracula has been done the justice it deserves...His works deserves that bit of raw feeling that your orchestrations provide, from what I can hear, so I applaud you!
**EXCITED**
Later!

Well put Phantom05.
Jeremy Roberts' orchestrations on this recording do sound great!! Out of curiosity, is Frank still working with Kim Scharnberg? Kim orchestrated JEKYLL & HYDE, SCARLET PIMPERNEL, CIVIL WAR and WAITING FOR THE MOON. I'm just curious as to why he didn't orchestrate CAMILLE CLAUDEL or this DRACULA concept recording.
Thanks, everyone! I can't wait for this CD to come out!!!

I'll probably be getting one too. Lauren Kennedy sounds lovely. I've been checking her website for updates on the 10 Commandments The Musical cast recording but so far no more updates...sigh.
