I’m overwhelmed by how well this album is mixed. It’s glorious voices working beautifully with glorious, crisp, BIG orchestrations; not messily combined like we usually get these days.
ljay, listening to this act one finale made me truly weepy just now. So, so beautiful.

Indeed! I sobbed.

$16.99 is a bit much especially since it’s only 78 minutes. Technically that could fit on one disc, but I understand two discs if they didn’t want to compress the files as much. The revival album of Drood was the same.

This recording really is so, so gorgeous. That orchestra alone is so enveloping, immersive, expansive. The wait was absolutely worth it for this one.

It is simply glorious! Gyllenhaal is just great in the role and I love the lush orchestra.

wow - this is really well done -and well worth the wait. I'm still surprised they waited this long (would've been a huge hit as people were leaving the theatre) but no matter. Why ruin a beautiful evening with negative thoughts :)
The orchestra is really beautiful... can someone tell me what the difference in size for the orchestra from the stage to recording is

For anyone with Apple Music - it's available there as well.
LOVING it so far.

I don't have any actual words - I'm just....blown away. Gosh, what a lush recording.

I'm realizing for the first time how truly bizarre and gorgeous Sondheim's contrapuntal accompaniment to the "No one is you George" section of We Do Not Belong Together is. I echo others, about the mix of this album. The complexity of Sondheim's music and Starobin's orch comes through like a transcendent experience.

Listening to it. Wow. Magnificent. I wasn’t lucky enough to see this production (or any production) of SITPWG for which I’m kicking myself now.

Somehow I blocked out Annaleigh's accent on "Children and Art" and... why?

Because Marie is literally southern. Like, it's in the text. I'm not saying that you're wrong for not liking it, but it is literally, like, apart of her character. Jenna Russell also does the accent on the London recording.

Speaking of Russell!
Can I just say how lucky we are and how spoiled I feel? We have three recordings of one of Sondheim's best with THREE amazing actresses. Bernadette, Jenna, and Annaleigh are all so incredibly magical, and the fact that we have their performances recorded forever is something so beyond, so glorious. I'm not even a big fan of the London cast recording - the orchestrations are much too small for such a grandiose show - but just knowing we have Peters, Russell, and Ashford forever immortalized as Dot/Marie...again, magic.
And I say all of this without even acknowledging their three spectacular leading men. Gosh. We are lucky.

Because two southern yahoos hire Louie the baker to come back to America with them. Marie is born in France, but goes to the American South as an infant.

Maryann Plunkett, who played Dot in the later part of the original production, did the Southern accent. So did Melissa Errico at the Kennedy Center. Those are just the ones I've happened to see. Other actresses may have done it elsewhere, as it's based in the text.

This is also on Spotify. Just gorgeous.

After hearing the full recording, I am just blown away by how many intricacies can be heard in Starobin’s work. So many things I’ve never heard before, especially on the OBCR, which can sound a little muddled.

listening to this recording, I'm just depressed because I can't build a time machine and go back to see this again and again and again.

I'll admit to being SITPWG-ignorant. That is, I'm not at all familiar with most of the score, and I didn't get the chance to see the recent revival. I just listened to "Sunday" and "Sunday - Finale." If I had known that I was going to hear THAT, I would have gone to any length to see this production.

Of course. Will it be? Don't know, but probably.
