CD REVIEW: This CD performance captures many emotions, and in the wonderful music composed by Claude-Michel Schonberg expresses the nature of the French Revolution very effectively.
Their are 2 CD's provided with this album. The tracks are thought provoking and musically complex.
The confrontation between Val Jean and Javert (Disc 1) brings melodic call and response between the two characters - a concept revisited throughout the performance.
Thenardier (Played by Barry James) is fantastic throughout - peforming Master of the House, and Beggar of the Feast. He is the comical character of Les Miserables, and bound to produce a few smiles when listening to this CD.
The story is seperated into the following tracks on the CD: 1. Prologue 2. Valjean's Soliloquy 3. Empty Chairs At Empty Tables 4. Every Day 5. At The End Of The Day 6. Valjean's Confession 7. The Wedding Chorale / Beggars At The Feast 8. I Dreamed A Dream 10. Lovely Ladies 11. Fantine's Arrest 12. Runaway Cart, The 13. Who Am I? 14. Fantine's Death 15. Confrontation, The 16. Castle On A Cloud 17. Master Of The House 18. The Bargain / The Watlz Of Treachery 19. Look Down 20. The Robbery / Javert's Intervention 21. Epilogue 22. Stars
Second Disc 1. Eponine's Errand 2. ABC Cafe (Red And Black) 3. Do You Hear The People Sing 4. Rue Plumet / In My Life 5. Heart Full Love 6. Attack On Rue Plumet, The 7. One Day More! 8. At The Barricade 9. On My Own 10. Building The Barricade 11. Javert's Arrival 12. Little People 13. Little Fall Of Rain 14. Night Of Anguish 15. First Attack 16. Drink With Me 17. Bring Him Home 18.
