The CD set was perfect for what we needed. Our 9th grade drama class is thinking of performing several songs from Sweeney Todd for a competition. The instrumental CD helps them with their timing and the CD containing the lyrics lets them hear the way the songs are supposed to sound. The set arrived sooner than expected and in perfect condition.

I bought this CD bc I needed to perform a song from it for a Musical Review and needed a good accompaniment. This CD did just that. The Orchestrations and tempos are very accurate to the Original Cast Recording and do well for supplying a professional sounding back-up track.
That being said, I must say I was just a tad disappointed when I heard the very synthesized brass blaring at the beginning of "God, That's Good!". This particular recording uses keyboards and computers to reproduce the score. Although you can't really tell for the most part, sometimes it can be rather obvious. The singers are a tad annoying here as well. They are very good singers, however, they really aren't acting the role well. They play their charecters undeveloped and sound like they don't really know what their charecter is doing or feeling. I know it's not a Cast Recording and they aren't supposed to be acting it, but it's still irritating when any performace of "A Little Preist" feels hollow and unfun. Also, the CD boasts being in the same Keys and Tempos of the Original Cast Recording, the very beginning of "Pretty Women" is obiously slower. Although I prefer the slower recording, I was surprised that they made a change after making such a blatent claim.
In Conclusion, The CD works well for what it is intended for, but not much else.

EL DIABOLICO BARBERO DE LA CALLE DEL INFIERNO
Estas pistas estan muy bien realizadas y son muy recomendables para los grupos amateur, solamente faltan dos pistas (por cierto bastante importantes,la cancion del barbero y la secuencia final) obviamente para que no plagien la obra, pero los arreglos son exactos para poder utilizarlos para cualquier representacion o concierto, los sintetizadores han avanzado muchisimo y muchos sonidos sobre todo las cuerdas suenan muy bien y muy reales. tambien otra gran ayuda es que no tiene grabado los coros asi que es muy viable hacer traducciones y adaptaciones

This is a great recording! My daughter and her friends are putting on a ST production for fun, and this will be a great addition. The music is very well done, and the practice singers are all fine.

This is a really great product, especially because Sweeney karaoke tracks are hard to come by. The instrumentation and quality of the songs is impressive, and they are in both the original keys and tempos. I'd recommend this product to anyone rehearsing for a production of the show or for any fan wanting to sing-along to a great, classic musical!
