Title: lyrical meaning lost in translation
Product review: i bought this soundtrack 15 years ago in an effort to broaden my french vocabulary. i studied every line, with my french-english dictionary in hand. having familarized myself so thoroughly with the lyrics, i immediately saw the differences in the english and french versions of this musical.the original french version offers so many more illustrious passages when compared to the english version. i am a fan of both however, but do encourage anyone to pick up a copy of this cd and experience the musical as originally intended.the performers are different than their english counterparts - some vocalists are less skillful, some are more. the storyline is still effectively conveyed, and the magic that is les miserables is ever palpable.
