Customer Reviews of Starlight Express (Original German Cast)
Starlight express Mmm. When this CD arrived I was a little disappointed. It wasn't the double CD (original cast) recording I was expecting, but the smaller, single version. Oh well.
The composition of the cd is a little sparse, it doesn't have the races which is a real blow and some of the songs seem a little cut, however what's there is good, and definately worth the money. AC/DC and the 'Parade' are probably the best numbers, Electra is brilliantly sung, whilst Du Allien (only you) and Rolling Stock come in close second.
Overall it's a fantastic cd (probably even better if you speak german and can understand what they're actually saying), every fan of the other productions should have a copy of what is probably the greatest version ever. Just a pity there isn't more of it.
NOT the Original German Cast, but still worthwhile
Ok Amazon, you got your info wrong LOL. This is infact the 1991 Bochum, Germany Highlights CD. There were two other German recordings before this one. The Original German Cast It's very similar to the US "concept" recording) and the Live Bochum Recording. Now here's my review...
The music is very good on this CD with strong vocal talents. Colin Monroe is a good Rusty, Claudia Bradley's Pearl is pleasent, and Kapa Kitchen IS Red Caboose. If you're interested in getting an idea of what the German show is like, then get this CD. It's worth every penny.
I'd like to add that Amazon's price is great. I've seen it sell for much more.
A little more information

Ein Rock'n'Roll Zuviel (one rock and roll to many)
Du Allein (only He)
Ein Licht Ganz Am Ende Des Tunnels (light at the end of the tunnel)
Okay, now actual reveiw. It's a really great sound track, very well sung. The German version of Starlight Express is more like the 1985 London show, than the current one. Meaning, it has a plot, no Crazy, Lotta Locomotion, Only You instead of Next Time You Fall In Love, and CB wasn't cut. Belle's not in this version though.
It's got Kapa Kitchen as The Caboose, and he's just amazing in the part. Collin Monro isn't the best Rusty I've heard, but he does a fair job. Darlen Casanova is a really wonderful Dinah (though not as good as Francis Ruffele in the original london cast), and I'd say her rendition of G.E.K.U.P.P.E.L.T is one of the highlights of the sound track. Du Allien, the German version of "Only You" is a really nice song.
In short, definately a worth while sound track for any fan of Starlight Express, but if you want to actually understand the plot, I'd recommend the Original London Cast.
