2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing - could do better!, July 27, 2001

This review is from: Cabaret: Vocal Selections (Paperback)

I have not bought this, but I have seen copies before and used them.

I was not very pleased with the selection of songs - they only concentrate on the songs featured in the film, which, frankly, isn't many at all. What is written has been arranged, so much in fact that `Cabaret' itself is spread over 2-3 pages (as a chorus number) which looses all the emotion and essence of the song. All of the songs loose the feel for the show in the way it has been arranged and by how much of the songs are cut!

On a more positive note, it is for piano and voice so, essentially, it is `easy to play' with (guitar) chords. It includes songs which aren't widely available, i.e. Mein Herr, Maybe This Time, Money-Money, (not available in the vocal Score). They are almost suitable for concert performances, if re-arranged.

I would not recommend buying this book at all, only if you can't, for example, play anything more difficult!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's not bad!, November 29, 2001

I am a muscian and have played from this book. The arrangements aren't that bad though not always easy to play for beginners, but it is fairly complete and true to the musical.
