5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly realistic!, January 3, 2007

I am a singer and therefore wanted to preform some of the songs of wicked, i made one terrible mistake of buying the stage stars versoin first because i liked the cover better, but there is no comparison, these are MUCH better, The orchestrations are almost exactly like the ones on the cast recording and sound very realistic (althought they are synthesized). The only obviously synthesized instrument is the trumpet (both open and muted). It takes a lot of talent to keep up with the acconpaniment because 95% of the time there is no instrument playing the vocal line. The tracks include all of the instrumental interludes and underscoring that are on the cast recording,and are in the same tempo and key. I highly reccomend listening to samples of the tracks online so you can hear for yourseld how great it sounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Wicked Tracks Available by FAR, March 27, 2006

The true measure of this disc is to compare it to both the original cast recording and to the other wicked background tracks disc available. These arrangements are virtually note-perfect to the original disc, but are indeed produced (at least partially) on synths. That having been said, they sound fantastic, and are worth every penny. If you're looking for a disc of Wicked background tracks, make no mistake-- buy this version, and you won't be disapointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars great for groups, but not solos, June 17, 2007

as you know, in wicked there are hardly any solo numbers and the ones like "the wizard and i" or "defying gravity" which are mainly solos and could be modified as solos have that extra music on the cd. it is a great cd if you love musical theater and karaoke, it's just not good for auditions or performances if you are looking to do a modified solo. i reccommend getting it, the music is fantastic and it helps me learn the piano parts for the songs. almost all the songs from the show are on the karaoke cd.
