Has anyone purchased the companion CD to the PBS special? I just picked it up and it's one of the best collections ever!

Are the songs from shows that have been revived the original song or the revived song? For example, is it Molina who sings "If I Were a Rich Man" and Brian Stokes Mitchell who sings "The Impossible Dream" or were it those from the original casts?
