4.0 out of 5 stars Nine Out Of Ten, February 6, 2000

By 

Jim Bredeson (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nine (London Concert Cast) (Audio CD)

If you know this show, you know it is great. The original recording left much to be desired in record quality, which this album transcends. Raoul Julia was fabulous on the the original and Jonathon Price raises the bar with his version of "Only With You". The real shining star is Elaine Paige...she is heartbreaking on "Unusual Way" and reminds us why we love her. For a real treat go to track 12 and turn it up really loud. "The Bells of St. Sebastian" has never sounded so full and alarming. This concert recording is a must for any Nine,Yeston or Fellini fan. The Price is worth it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Please actually listen to the CD before reviewing.., June 3, 2004

This review is from: Nine (1992 London Concert Cast - Highlights) (Audio CD)

Luisa was played by Ann Crumb. If she can't sing. I don't know who can. Saying that she can't sing is like saying Patti LuPone can't sing.

I personally like this version a lot better than the broadway one. Jonathan Pryce did such a good job as Guido that I had to buy this version even though I own the Broadway version.

Elaine Paige, albeit not in her top in this recording, did not play the role at the actual show (said so in the booklet) but stepped in to play the part for the original singer who couldn't make the recording of the CD.

Give this record a chance. It's different than the way the Broadway casts interpret/present it, but doesn't mean it's bad.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites!, December 5, 2000

I am a bit surprised at the negativity I see here, because this is one of my favorites! I will admit though that I have not heard any other cast recordings of Nine. I think Jonathan Pryce does a nice job, I get such an image in my head listening to him! I also love My Husband Makes Movies and Unusual Way! When I first got this CD, I wasn't crazy about it, but now I really love it! Maybe you just need to give it a chance!
