    Terrific Performance--And Live!I own all of Les Miz soundtracks but the one I listen to over and over again is the unpredictable 2010 live recording. I absolutely love it!No, it's NOT the 25th Anniversary DVD performance starring Alfie Boe; this one is John Owen Jones with the 25th Anniversary Cast.It has applause and ad-libbing by the cast. There are wonderful performances all around! The CD has many photos from the production.Also, the CD is about $3.63 less than the MP3. Enough said about that! Buy this because it is a terrific performance--and LIVE--betterthan the staged or studio performances.5Less but moreTo really get my review, one must know my relationship to the musical that is Les Miserables. I fell in love with this as a child, back before CDs, when my parents brought home a cassette tape of the biggest songs from the show. I literally wore that tape out from listening to it so much. I own the Original London Cast recording and also the DVD of Les Miserables in concert.It is with no small experience as a connoisseur of the show that I write this simple and concise review:It was like I was hearing it for the first time.Seriously!As for a summary... The orchestrations are fuller and amazing. Some of the singing was sacrificed to add acting instead. "Talky" parts were cut out.Somehow, this recording is darker and more full of emotion. Possibly because of the increased focus on acting as opposed to singing a pretty aria. On the flip side of that, some bits seems to jump around a little because of the lack of "talky" bits.Also, electric guitar in "Look Down." Just sayin'.5It's nice to get a new and different take on the ...I've seen Les Mis live over 19 times, ranging back to 1989. I've got all of the English recordings and quite a few of the international cast albums. This is the latest edition for that collection, and overall I have to say it's a strong entry. It's nice to get a new and different take on the show with up-to-date recording quality and fresh voices.The Good:-Sound quality is terrific-The cast is, overall terrific. I'd say it beats out the Complete Symphonic Cast. Owens-Jones and Alberto easily beat out Morris and Byrne as Valjean and Fantine, respectively. Earl Carpenter is excellent as Javert, almost as good as Quast. I miss Barry James' Thenardier a bit, but I seem to be in the minority in preferring his sinister portrayal over the more clownish ones. The CSR wins out on Enjorlas and Marius, but who could possibly beat Warlowe and Ball in these parts? Nobody. Rosalind James' is certainly adequate as Eponine, but neither her nor Shimada compare to the original portrayer, Francis Ruffelle.-The revamped orchestrations in many parts are quite effective and punch up the aging score for the show. BUT SEE BELOW!The Bad:-It's live, and you have audience applause included in the recording. I wish they'd been able to edit this out.-The revamped orchestrations in many, many critical parts are decidedly not effective, often sounding thin and less-inspiring. Javert's two solos, "Stars" and "Soliloquy" suffer the most from this.-It's not the complete show, as it's been cut much like the anniversary concerts for this recording. I understand why, but I would prefer a full recording for once. Even the CSR isn't *entirely* complete!Overall, however, it's a great recording of a great show, and not to be missed by those who love it.4Live is good!I first bought this when I saw the restaged production in 2011. I listened to it once, then fell back to either the original Broadway cast or the Complete Orchestral recordings. After the movie came out, I started listening to this edition. You know what? It's wonderful. The live recording really captures the feeling of being at an actual performance. The crowd cheers and applauds when the orchestra launches into the prologue. Can you blame them? They're about to see Les Miz!This recording has so much energy because of the acting and the audience. Some other reviewers have complained about side noise distracting from the singing, but I disagree. That captured dialogue makes the story easier to follow and separates the characters from each other in my mind. I can visualize the actors on stage as I listen.I don't know if it will remain so, but right now this is my favorite Les Miz recording.5Lovely New Recording of Les Mis!I cannot compare this with other recordings of Les Miserables, but I really like this 2010 contemporary live recording. The sound is pure, clean and intimate. There is a certain vulnerability to the simplicity of this recording. The orchestration is at times understated allowing the voices to shine through. I accomplished my objective of finding a recording that allows me to study some of the solo and choral parts of this musical.And thank you to all of you for warning me that this is not the same as the 25th Anniversary DVD.I did notice that like the concert versions some of the music is shortened - for example, Madame Thenardier's part in the "Castle In A Cloud" song also known as the "Little Cosette" part of the musical. This is a little disappointing since this is one of the numbers I was looking for. Oh, well, there is always Youtube!5Change is good... right?This new 2010 recording of Les Miserables provides some interesting surprises. First, it's a live recording, so there's some "extra" noises throughout, such as some odd-sounding fight sounds at the end of "The Confrontation," as well as applause from the audience. It can be slightly distracting at times, but it never really gets in the way of the performance you hear.For someone who is used to the previous recordings, this new live album is interesting to hear. The performances are certainly well done, given how they have to compete with the classic performances everyone is used to listening to. It's hard for anyone to compete with Colm Wilkinson, but John Owen-Jones does a great job and provides a wonderful interpretation of the part. Earl Carpenter is likewise a very good Javert. The other performances are also good, but none quite stand out as amazing to me. Again, as it is a live recording, one can perhaps imagine how much of these individuals performances may be visual as well (especially the Thenardiers for example).Now to detail the changes to the show. Like any show, Les Miz has necessarily evolved over the years. This current album gives a glimpse of the changes that have taken place for the 25th Anniversary touring production. First thing I noticed (as a former band geek) were the orchestrations. Again, being live, they don't have the full orchestra was used in either the 10th Anniversary or Complete Symphonic recordings, but you can still notice some differences. Generally, it sounds more energetic, and the pace is quicker. There are less instrumental sections (or they're shorter), likely to keep the show under 3 hours. It was nice to get a piece of the previously un-recorded "Valjean meets Cosette" scene that was added to the show in the 90s.As for the packaging: The 2 CD-set comes with a nice insert with some nice interviews/essays about the 25 years of Les Miz. Also, they appear to have wanted to put as much music in as possible to fit into the CDs (and they got most of it). Although I wonder in this digital age, why not have a fuller "deluxe" edition for download?Overall, I give this recording 4 stars. It's great to get a new fresh take on the show, and it's overall great to listen to (good example being "One Day More.") As someone who grew up with the classic recordings (Complete Symphonic and the 10th Anniversary being my faves), this will never be my favorite recording of Les Miz, but it still stands on its own and is a valuable addition to any Les Miserables collection.4Dream the dreamSpectacular. For the many who have neither seen nor heard this musical masterpiece live, this is the next best thing. The excitement of the audience, and the emotion of the performers in this great show shine through beginning to end in this cd. Listening to the album, one feels oneself right there, listening to Jean Valjean, Fantine, Javert, and the entire cast of the production sing out their songs, inspiring every member of the audience.5No synth, no problemFor Broadway purists, this particular version of Les Mis doesn't include synthesizer... and that's exactly what I was looking for! I like synthesizer as much as the next person, but to me, Les Mis calls for a powerful orchestra to rattle you to your bones - and that's what this version does! Based on the accents of some of the background characters, I would chance a guess that this is the U.K. 25th anniversary version. It is a live version, so you get applause and stage sounds, but that doesn't bother me. All of the singers are absolutely SOLID in their performances.5les miz cdOnce again I am not pleased with my purchase. I bought what was advertised as the original 25th anniversity recording of the PBS presentation. To my knowledge there were only two performances with the same cast. I have watched the dvd of that show enough to know the voices of the main characters to know the cast on the cd is most certainly not the same. I have enjoyed listening to the cd only because the music is so beautiful,but I feel very disappointed because I did not get what I thought I paid for.2Great recording, not quite what I thought it wasI have been following the news of the 25th Anniversary concert of Les Mis, and I was excited to see this "Live!" recording. When I got the CDs, I was surprised that none of the pictures of the characters looked like the actors/singers performing in the concert, and when I looked at the cast list, I realized this was not the concert, as I thought. I guess I get to keep looking forward to that recording. :-)That said, this 25th Anniversary London Cast recording is phenomenal! It didn't have anyone that I had heard of before (and I like it when they do that), and almost everyone did an incredible job with their part. The only weak link, in my opinion, was the person who played Th nardier, who seemed to have trouble carrying a tune. Since I haven't heard him in anything else, I'm not sure if that was normal for him, or if it was a directorial choice. If any character would have trouble singing, it would be Th nardier. He definitely makes up for his inability to sing with his excellent acting, which shines forth even in the recording. Fortunately, neither Eponine nor Gavroche got their singing ability from their father, as they both did an amazing job!I highly recommend this recording, but gave it four stars for 2 reasons: the packaging makes it sound too much like it's the 25th anniversary concert (which I'm sure was unintentional), and because of Th nardier.4
