Summary: The CD every lover of Les Miserables should have
Comment: Les Miserables is not only compelling music it is very dramatic, therefore no other version is as satisfactory a listening experience. The other versions are really on Les Miserables, the greatest hits, and therefore lack the dramatic impact. This recording is superb; buy it and enjoy!

Summary: The Les Mis Experience
Comment: Like so many others, I have never been so deeply effected by any other staged musical. It is somewhat like going to mass. I know the story. I have seen the turntable production multible times in multiple countries. And still, whenever I find myself at a location near a live performance, I feel compelled to go again. I know that I will always be so moved as to feel marvel that such a feast of story, sights, and sounds can be put together in a single theatrical production. Somehow it seems to renew something inside of me that is good.
This play has so few spoken words that it is rather like an opera. It has inspired me to buy virtually every recording associated with it (even the French concept album)... searching for that heart felt experience. This album, better than any other, allows you to re-experience the entire play. It is a treasure.

Summary: Less miserable!
Comment: I have this recording memorized front to back, and when my old cassettes finally wore out, it was time to replace them digitally. Well of course it sounds phenomenal, and the booklet has all the cast info plus all the lyrics and a synopsis of the plot. I can't compare this with the other recordings, but it's my favorite as I grew up with this one.

Summary: Merion18
Comment: I bought this recording and the the London original cast CD at the same time. I like the London version better BUT~ I didn't realize that the London version was abridged!! So MENTALLY I'm a "bit" disappointed. I've seen the musical 3 times and can't get enough of "Les Mis"
