Title: Very Disappointing
Review: I consider myself to be one of the biggest Elaine Paige fans ever, certainly in the US. I was so excited to hear that this release was coming, and equally as disappointed to hear it.It is a soft hushed style of singing, with odd arrangements and often it feels like the orchestration drowns out her singing.Someone Else's Story is the one I was REALLY waiting for since Chess is my favorite musical, but sadly it is just as disappointing as the rest. To have a voice as powerful and as magnificent as Elaine's and then to not have it come across on the recording is puzzling.I never thought I could say this, but there is really no reason to get this CD. Her other music really stirs the soul but there is nothing on this CD that has this effect. The song selection was brilliant, but it was a wasted opportunity.
Is the review positive or negative?
