Sorry if this is a dumb question but: is the German recording in German or is it just the German cast singing the English words?
All productions use the native language of that country.

Posted: 8/20/06 at 1:38amThanks Lizzie. That is what I initially assumed but then I thought it might be difficult to translate the songs into each language will keeping the tempo/rythm/and some sort of rhyme scheme to the songs.

Well, some of the translations aren't so great. 
Ask any native Spanish speaker about the original Madrid cast recording, or a native German speaker about the original Vienna recording. They're reportedly pretty dire.

I have the French concept and Paris cast, the German cast, the OLC, OBC, 10th Anniversary, CSR and the Manchster CDs... Two studio recordings, too.
Now I want to listen to them all LOL
I adore LES MIZ most of all
