Scarlet Pimpernel (OBC)
Apr 27th, 2005 by Ashley
I brought my CD collection to the office to reduce the number of
stuff I need to move on Saturday. And now I'm thinking to leave
them here permenantly cuz I rarely listen to CD at home (my DVD
player makes a hell of a loud noise.)
This morning, I took Scarlet Pimpernel (Ver: OBC) out, drawning in
grand, spectacular fantasy. It's quite different from the concept
album which I'm more familiar with recently (cuz I was practicing
“When I Look at You” with Linda Eder's version. Now when I listen to
“When I Look at You” of OBC, it's like a totally different song for
me. The OBC version has flaws but at the same time sounds more
affecting and the emotion flows as the melody plays on. Linda Eder
always sings beautifully, but it appears somewhat aloof when
comparing to OBC. The critics gave the original cast very bad credit
except the singing, so I guess OBC is worth buying afterall. (But
I'm really thinking of acquiring all the versions. Afterall, there
are only 3 or 4, right?)
