If you've only seen the movie version of Mamma Mia, you're in for a treat, as this recording features 24 songs (much more than was featured in the film) all sung beautifully by the 1999 London cast.

I have listened many hours to my new CD. I love it. Now I can remember all the times I went to this show. I can't wait till the movie comes out to buy that too.

Ok, so, comparing the soundtrack and the original album to this, we are missing a couple songs. You really need Blood Money to get the full effect, yet this version seems to do well without it, despite the fact it is a key song. The song from the movie soundtrack is not necesarily needed, but I thought it was a good addition. Musically, I like the updates. And Mary Magdelene, OH-MY-FRICKING-GOD!!!! The Mary's on the other versions are great and right for the time, but Renee Castle is phenomenal, I don't care what anyone says. "I don't know...love him" had me in tears. Of the three, I think this is the best version I've heard. She combines he best of the two previous Mary's and yet is a unique and wonderful Mary Magdelene. For that reason alone, I should give this 5 stars, but the song ... Read More

Andrew Lloyd Webber has sunk to new lows with this boring adaptation of the novel. The music just goes on and on with tuneless melodies and mock-classic arrangements. The lyrics are just rambling sentences with little rhyme or reason. He hasn't written a good score sense "Sunset Boulevard." He needs to find a good lyricist and stop plagarizing Puccini.

Despite what other reviews have said this is a cast recording of the 2006 revival on London's West End.

7.Stravinsky: Les Noces and Other Choral Music from: Hyperion UK November 17, 1993

'Les Noces and other choral music' is centered around Igor Stravinsky's scoring of five Russian folk pieces done for weddings (the translation of 'Les Noces'). The selection is interesting for so many reasons, not the least of which is the similarity of this material to the great 'The Rites of Spring' as well as a really superior realization of the great Russian tradition in choral performances. I have heard Stravinsky's 'Tres Sacrae Cantiones' done on other recordings and these are much better, and they fit in well with the other material on the disk. This disk easily passes the single most important test of a CD. Not only do I enjoy listening to it at least once a year, I really look forward to it, much as I look forward to 'Rubber Soul' as I work my way through Beatles' recordings. Read More
