Title: FOREIGN CAST RECORDINGS

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were foreign, and now it is time for you to post until the foreign cows come home.

I also love foreign language cast recordings, and I'm pretty sure that I have that Mexican My Fair Lady..  If I'm not mistaken, that also has a very young Plácido Domingo in the ensemble!

Among the MANY foreign language cast recordings, I have the original Barcelona cast recordings of A Little Night Music (https://castalbums.org/recordings/Musica-per-a-una-nit-destiu-2001-Original-Barcelona-Cast/1136/), Sweeney Todd (https://castalbums.org/recordings/Sweeney-Todd-El-barber-diabolic-del-carrer-Fleet-1995-Original-Barcelona-Cast/2025), AND Into the Woods (https://castalbums.org/recordings/Boscos-endins-2008-Original-Barcelona-Cast/11849)...all in Catalan! ;D

My guess is Hair would be in the running for most foreign language recordings. Have a vague memory of reading something like that.

I have to look up the others I have - I do know I have an Israeli and German Hello, Dolly, a German Stop the World - I Want to Get Off, an Australian Pippin, and Eyetalian Promises, Promises, and several Fiddler recordings.

I'm listening to a homegrown version of Pepe that someone grabbed in stereo from the TCM showing, I'm sure. But it has a lot of stuff not on the soundtrack.
Title: Re: FOREIGN CAST RECORDINGS
Post by: bk on May 21, 2023, 12:57:27 AM
I wish Sony would restore the original length of Pepe and release it to streaming and Blu-ray.
Title: Re: FOREIGN CAST RECORDINGS
Post by: bk on May 21, 2023, 12:59:06 AM
So few people have actually seen it and while the plot is stupid, there are many enjoyable things in it - where else can you see the original Riff, Michael Callan, basically doing another version of a rumble, choreographed by Eugene Loring, or hear Bobby Darin sing the song that precedes it, or hear Shirley Jones sing the title song and give a lovely performance, plus all those guest stars.
Title: Re: FOREIGN CAST RECORDINGS
Post by: bk on May 21, 2023, 01:22:08 AM
Pepe originally ran 195 minutes in roadshow. After that engagement it was severely cut down by forty minutes. It's on that Archive site - lousy color but in stereo - my friend, now deceased had the full 195-minute version in stereo. Where that ended up, who knows? https://archive.org/details/pepe-1960/Pepe+(1960)+Part+1.avi

Back -- from what turned out to be a truly gripping reading of the play. The six women, two of which I already knew, were wonderful actors. And the real treat was meeting their director Diana Canova who shaped that performance, and who is absolutely CHARMING. What a wonderful lady. Of course I told her we have a mutual friend in BK and she was surprised and delighted to hear that. I know she's done a lot with kids here over the years, but I really hope she will continue now working with adults. This was exceptional.

I spent most of today working on the yard. The body is tired.

I probably watched every episode of the show and had no memory of Martin Short being in it.

Love Diana and she loves working with young people as much as I do. I remind, she did the audio book of GEE, one of only two audio books I've done for my books. There was actually a third but the guy I hired to do it was not a tech person so when he made mistakes he'd click a clicker and say it again - well, when I heard it I wasn't about to give that to an engineer to edit - there were hundreds upon hundreds of these clicks. The sad part is that two other actors played the female roles in that book - Thrill Ride - and the old lady was played by - Cindy Williams - and she was wonderful. But the audio files sit like so much fish and that's that.

Well, you need to STOP going down the damn rabbit holes until AFTER midnight. Do you see what page we are on? It's not page ten.

I rarely listen to albums of mine, but one just started playing in Music - Prime Time Musicals, and I must say it's one of my favorites and holds up beautifully - I love the orchestrations and performances and the mix is great.

Right now, Guy Haines is singing It Doesn't Matter Anymore.

I guess George came by just to tell us he was down a rabbit hole and immediately went right back down. George and the Rabbits - that's the title of my next novel.

What I find interesting, is that for as many productions of The Phantom of the Opera that there have been, there is NOT one French cast recording!  It's set at the Paris Opera House, but no actual French production?? 

Not even French-Canadian?

Nope.  There's a Canadian recording, but it's in English:

https://castalbums.org/recordings/The-Phantom-Of-The-Opera-1990-Canadian-Cast/2071/

What's interesting about this recording is that it's the only subsequent version [that I know of] where there's a different cadenza in "Think of Me." 

Title: Re: FOREIGN CAST RECORDINGS
Post by: George on May 22, 2023, 12:02:13 AM
The original movie soundtrack with Emmy Rossum has a variation on the original cadenza, but the cadenza sung by Rebecca Caine on that Canadian cast recording was completely different.  I always thought that (like in real operas) each Christine should develop her own cadenza.

Just as I went to post the notes, the Internet went down, but thankfully it lasted less than two minutes.

Brad Ellis did most of the orchestrations, with Lanny Meyers doing a couple. I don't think there was anyone else on this one. And Guy Haines is whistling for Mr. Graae.

Guy also whistled for Donna Murphy on the cast recording of The King and I revival.

After the show, my friend Shelly and I went to the Country Cousin, which is a local family-style restaurant.

Shelly didn't, but I did eat the entire meal in one sitting...which really was TOO much food.
