Title: Great Recording and Impresive Orchestral Reduction
Review: I must say that this recording of Sunday in the Park with George ranks with the original cast album. Although, Mr. Evans and Ms. Russel do not surpass Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters, they are fine performers and perform their parts well. The featured players are also excellent and rank with their originators.This cast album is two discs and includes more music than the original cast album. That's also a nice plus.What impressed me most about the album is the stunning reduction of the orchestrations. I believe the original orchestra of Sunday in the Park with George had 12-14 musicians in the pit. That number has been reduced to a reed player, a violinist, a celloist and two keyboard players. The orchestra sounds as beautiful as the large one does and is quite nice.So, although the original cast album is wonderful, this album is fine and recommended.
