Origianl Cast of the National Theatre, London Production
The only complete recording of Kurt Weill's brilliant score - with the original orchestrations and augmented orchestra - not only represents the Royal National Theatre's 1997 revival, but also documents the musical text of the original Broadway run. This digital recording (by Dolby Surround) captures the luminescent performance of Maria Friedman as Liza Elliott and the Olivier Award-winning performance of James Dreyfus, as well as the inspired production, which won the Evening Standard Drama Award for Best Musical - 1997.
