Le chef-d'oeuvre absolu de Stephen Sondheim,
Par Ericbutruille (LYON, France) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : (w/angela Lansbury) (2cds) (CD)
Stephen Sondheim n'est malheureusement pas encore assez connu en France. Son oeuvre majeure, Sweeney Todd, à la frontiere du théatre musical et de l'opéra, est sans doute l'idéal pour entrer dans son monde.La version originale avec une Angela Lansbury hallucinante de vérité dramatique et un Len Cariou noir à souhait, rend parfaitement l'esprit caustique et cynique de l'oeuvre. Ecoutez les differentes variations sur la Ballade de Sweeney, l'extrait "the worst pies in London", la romance "Green finch and linnet bird", le sublime duo "kiss me", pour entrer dans cette ambiance unique.

Sondheim's operatic masterpiece of American musical theater,
Par Un client
Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : (w/angela Lansbury) (2cds) (CD)
"Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is closer to the operatic world of Verdi and Donezetti than it is to Rogers & Hammerstein or Lerner & Lowe, and there have been times when it has been performed in opera houses as well it should. This show is replete with arias and quintets, duets and chorus numbers. More than any other American "musical" I can think of, there are different characters singing different things at the same time, just what you would expect to find in an opera. Besides, like an opera, most of the main characters are dead by the time the curtain rings down.This is Sondheim at his best, coming up with some of his most beautiful melodies in a show where the "hero" and "heroine" cut people's throats and bake them into pies. Consequently while you have "Not While I'm Around" sung by a poor boy to his surrogate mother and "Johanna" sung by young Anthony to his intended, you also have "My Friends" sung by Todd to his set of sharp razors. Sondheim has always delighted in such ironies. The highlight of the show/CD is the trio of numbers that ends Act I. From the sweet duet between Todd and the Judge ("Pretty Women"), to the savage intensity of Todd's "Epiphany", concluding with the ghastly humor of the Todd and Mrs. Lovett in "A Little Priest." Angela Lansbury is a wicked delight as Mrs. Lovett, and a revelation to those who do not remember that she was always a strong performer in musical theater ("Mama," "Gypsy"). The appropriateness of her voice was driven home to me when I saw a road production of "Sweeney Todd" with June Havok (yes, the original Baby June, older sister of Gypsy Rose Lee) who had the great timing of the vaudeville stage but who sang everything about an octave lower than originally written. However, it is Len Cariou who steals the show. "Epiphany" is a dramatic tour de force made all the more wonderous by the fact that it is being sung. If only I could sing, this would be the role I would most want to perform and "Epiphany" the song I would most love to sing. One of the joys of this 2-disc set is that it includes the song "Johanna" which was cut from the show, which has the Judge (Edmund Lyndeck) flagellating himself while sneaking a peak at his young ward through a keyhole. Similarly, the entire original version of "The Contest" is presented. Warning: in this production a steam whistle is used, primarily when Sweeney draws his razor across somebody's throat, in a particularly effective bit of stagecraft. If you listen to the opening song with the volume up too high, you are going to get blown away. Aidez d'autres clients à trouver les commentaires les plus utiles
