Les Miserables - Hebrew and Japanese Recordings

Posted: 3/26/05 at 7:47pm

Ok...

I dunno if I am allowed to ask this here.

I have been wanting to hear it FOREVER only problem is e-bay always has it on a record...I have no player here at school...Once in a while I'll see it on casette. Again, no casette player (stupid technology).

The recording was never released on CD.

I do know that every now and again someone sells a home-made Cd version of it.

I was wondering if anyone had it or could convert it to a CD, etc.

Thanks!

It's very hard to find someone who has both red and blue Japanese recordings. The red one is much easier to find.

I have the Tel Aviv cast recording, but I'm not able to put it (or anything else) onto CD right now. It's excellent, so I hope you get to hear it some time!

I believe the Red and Blue Japanese recordings were indeed made into CDs.

The recording I want most is the Korean recording! An acquaintance had a copy and made a cassette for me, and the actor playing Marius had the most beautiful and emotive voice.

"I believe the Red and Blue Japanese recordings were indeed made into CDs."

Yes, both of those were, but the Tel Aviv one wasn't -- only on LPs and tapes. At the time it was still in print, there wasn't enough of a market in Israel for it on CD.

I guess this doesn't really help, but I have a casette of Les Mis in Hebrew in case you come across a tape player...

Is Dudu Fischer on the Tel Aviv recording? He was the best Valjean EVER!!!!

"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."

It's beautiful in Hebrew, but even more beautiful when he sings it in English. He was the best Valjean I have ever seen. Dave Clemmons being the second.

I have the red cast cds's and the Hebrew cassette, but a friend of mine put some songs on a CD for me. Neither recordings are favorites of mine. Anybody heard the Hungarian recording? I've only seen the LP on sale once and it was WAAAAY beyond my price range. How's the cast?

You can get a CD of the Tel Aviv cast at http://www.maxmusicals.net because he does record to CD transfers. I like both the blue and red casts- I love the gavroche on the blue cast!! The Fantine and Eponine are fantastic on the red cast. I like the valjean on the blue cast better.

for whoever is interested in this show on cd, please contact me.
I also have a 3 cd set (full show) which was broadcasted. It has one song missing and "the explanation" of the show (around 30 seconds before each song)
