Songs from Sweeney Todd (Accompaniment 2-CD Set)

I bought this CD bc I needed to perform a song from it for a Musical Review and needed a good accompaniment. This CD did just that. The Orchestrations and tempos are very accurate to the Original Cast Recording and do well for supplying a professional sounding back-up track.That being said, I must say I was just a tad disappointed when I heard the very synthesized brass blaring at the beginning of "God, That's Good!". This particular recording uses keyboards and computers to reproduce the score. Although you can't really tell for the most part, sometimes it can be rather obvious. The singers are a tad annoying here as well. They are very good singers, however, they really aren't acting the role well. They play their charecters undeveloped and sound like they don't really know what their charecter is doing or feeling. I know it's not a Cast Recording and they aren't supposed to be acting it, but it's still irritating when any performace of "A Little Preist" feels hollow and unfun. Also, the CD boasts being in the same Keys and Tempos of the Original Cast Recording, the very beginning of "Pretty Women" is obiously slower. Although I prefer the slower recording, I was surprised that they made a change after making such a blatent claim.In Conclusion, The CD works well for what it is intended for, but not much else.

Very good orchestra sound, even if it's mostly digital sampling. I'm impressed! The sonics don't have the depth of a live 26-piece orchestra like the original Broadway production, but it's fine for recreating the memories of my doing the show back in 1982 & 1984! I've wanted an orchestral track for years to sing for fun -- more than just singing at the piano. Ta-DA! This disc has the original keys and tempos. Production value is high.

EL DIABOLICO BARBERO DE LA CALLE DEL INFIERNOEstas pistas estan muy bien realizadas y son muy recomendables para los grupos amateur, solamente faltan dos pistas (por cierto bastante importantes,la cancion del barbero y la secuencia final) obviamente para que no plagien la obra, pero los arreglos son exactos para poder utilizarlos para cualquier representacion o concierto, los sintetizadores han avanzado muchisimo y muchos sonidos sobre todo las cuerdas suenan muy bien y muy reales. tambien otra gran ayuda es que no tiene grabado los coros asi que es muy viable hacer traducciones y adaptaciones

I love this cd.

Bought it for my daughter who is a theater geek after taking her to see a Highschool production of this play. She has not stopped singing. She has incorporated some of the songs in her auditions. It was a win-win all around for her.

Great product!!

The music is good, and the covers are not too bad. A word of caution though: this album is identical to Spotlight Karaoke Vol. 28 (Sweeney Todd) and I only found that out once I've bought both of them. The only difference is that on this album, the cover version of The Worst Pies in London is actually a cover version, whereas on the other it is just the accompaniment track.

This is a great recording! My daughter and her friends are putting on a ST production for fun, and this will be a great addition. The music is very well done, and the practice singers are all fine.

■お手本版もついて2枚組購入時には気づきませんでしたが、カラオケバージョンだけでなく、お手本用歌入りバージョンもあるのですね！！2 DISCSです。■予想外に音が良い思っていたよりきちんとした音質です。いわゆる「カラオケボックスのカラオケ機」ぐらいの電子音かとおもっていたのですが、それよりは遥かに良くてびっくりしました。　■声なしのサントラとしてもこの映画·ミュージカルが好きな人なら作業中のBGMとしてかなりテンション上がります。パイプオルガンっていいですよね。■とは言えカラオケCD過度の期待は禁物ですぞ。角の期待がなかった私からは星5つ！
