Title: Not nearly as good as the "Concept" recording
Review: This recording has two faults. It is missing two of the best songs, and it is missing a leading lady. Let me set one thing straight, Linda Eder's (Concept recording) singing puts Christine Andreas' voice to shame. Ms. Andreas must have gotten the part because she is a good actress. A diva she is not! Her "crooning" lacks the power, control, and beauty that Ms. Eder's voice exudes. I suffered through Ms. Andreas' performance on "When I look at you" just hoping she would sing her way into the number. The singing was flat and powerless.I will never understand why the Broadway version has taken out the two best numbers ("I'll forget you" and "Now When the Rain Falls") Maybe, they were not suited very well for the stage.Don't let this review stop you from seeing the show! However, if you want a recording, buy the earlier one!
