"The orchestrations are too sparse for my taste."
That's the whole point, it is supposed to be different then what you are used to. While I love both CDs I have to say that the OBCR gives you a better idea of the show in general, but the Revival Recording captures some of the creepiness that this revival has. I don't know if I'd be a fan of the cd if I hadn't seen the show though, it is something you have to experience and the cd will always remind you of that powerful night, when you saw true, real, honest theatre on Broadway.
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
-Into the Fire
Scarlet Pimpernel
