| I think the original concept album and the movie soundtrack album are the two best recordings overall. I would say each one has some pluses and minuses as compared to the other -- for example, I think Murray Head does a little too much screaming as compared to Carl Andersen, but on the other hand, some of the soloists on the soundtrack recording do a little too much back phrasing for my taste. But other than that and a few other minor quibbles, the soundtrack is quite an excellent recording -- with the original score adapted by Andre Previn! |
