The Dream Cast.......2007-05-13

The legendary Mandy Patinkin plus the incredible Patti LuPone. Its only a shame that we've been deprived of the complete recording.

Musical Admirer.......2005-08-31

Evita is easily one of my Favorite musicals. Madonna was a better Evita then I thought she would be, but Patti Lupone was amazing as Evita. Her vioce is great!!

Good but not complete.......2005-05-01

This might be a good CD to buy if you are not sure you even like the genre of music, but otherwise go with the complete 2-disk set. They left out some very good songs in 'Highlights'. The extra 10 or 20 dollars spent WILL be worth it,

a subset but worth it.......2004-11-07

The story behind the songs from the play is about Evita Peron, her life and rise to power and demise.
Yes this is a classic from the beginning. This play is one of the, if not the high point for Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Everything comes together to tell of this point in history. The inflections of the singers leave you with the question of who was Evita and does not sway you to any one point of view. The Songs themselves have more of a feel of the time than originals from that time would have.
Being a play and not a movie the singers had to sing and be heard and understood. All of the performers are professionals in their own right; especially Patti LuPone Who has to perform with very little breathing room. She also has a good range and depth. So be sure to look for "1978 Original Broadway Cast"

An Excellent Recording.......2004-09-02

This is an excellent recording if you don't want to spend the money on the full set. However, the full set IS worth the money, and is highly recommended. As far as the recorded songs go the selections on this album are superb, and if for whatever reason you decide to go with the highlights album, Patti LuPone will not displease.

The previous poster, however, is absolutely incorrect about the London Cast CD. Elaine Paige is by far the best Evita ever recorded, and that album is worth every penny. It's a shame they never put the full musical from the London cast, because that would be the definitive recording to own. But it doesn't exist, and the London Cast highlights album is the only one available with Ms. Paige. This recording only gets 4 stars because the Ms LuPone simply is not as absolutely stunning as Ms Paige, and hers is the definitive Evita.

And don't even mention the pop singer's name in the company of those two superstars.

Ummm.......2005-08-22

Wow!! I really like Peron's Mistress. She is the first one who doesn't get all shrill "hAPPens now"!!
But is this girl shrieking the Eve parts the undertsudy- what the heck?? She makes me want Madonna!

OH DEAR!.......2000-05-29

Lloyd Webber's final collaboration with Tim Rice culminated in this fine musical/opera, Evita. It tells the story of the rise to power of Argentinan Eva Peron who married Juan Peron and reformed the country. This musical has a concept album, Broadway and London cast recordings, a recording of the recent film, but also - this. This studio recording tries to make the best of the singers/actors and the band they have, but unfortunately this recording loses to lack of talent!

I'm sorry to say it, but Alice Haywood as Eva is dreadful. Gone is the singing, gone is the acting, all we are left with is a poorly pronouncing, screaming, annoying, unmoving performance. I would be grateful if Ms. Haywood would kindly inform me as to where 'Bwaynoz Ayreez' is!

Other performances are bearable, but the band loses the lyrical touches of Lloyd Webber's score, leaving this an unmoving, unanything recording!
