Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars the best recording ever for the too important musical.......2003-05-08

This is definitely the best yet...i especially would like to recommend this only because of lanie sumalinog(who played gigi)!!! she has a raw voice that draws from the deeper cannals of her soul. why, she is even better than the original gigi (or even lea).
congratulations.

5 out of 5 stars Great recording of a superb show!.......2002-02-03

I only have praises for this German recording of Miss Saigon. This recording has a nicer surround sound to the orchestra and the voices mesh so well with each other, it may as well rival the other two english recordings. It has often been said that some foreign language recordings are much better off than their english counterparts. In this case, I certainly have to agree. Albeit this is only a highlights album, the leads sound so well together and contains all the vital songs in order to judge whether the musical is good or not. From the beginning of the jarring chords of "Saigon, Du fieberst im Licht", we know we are going to go on an incredible journey in a small part of Vietnam's turbulent history. We can sense the emotions felt and the rush in "Kims Alptraum" and the finale is really heart-wrenching. Another excellent recording I have to recommend would be the Dutch recording with Linda Wagenmakers (of Eurovision fame). These two are much much better than their english counterparts.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best versions out there!.......2001-01-25

I am a huge fan of Miss Saigon, I love the original cast and the complete symphonic cast as well. I got this CD because I speak german and love hearing it sung. The people's voices on this recording are superb, especially GiGi, who sings the first part of 'Movie in My Mind' (#2 Mein Marchenfilm Vom Gluck), Kim is fabulous, too, as are the rest of the cast. I highly recommend this recording, it's a shame that german cast recordings are so hard to come by in the US. I also recommend the 'Deutsche originalaufnahme von Les Miserables' recorded in Wien which I purchased while visiting Germany in 1996.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent... the best Miss Saigon Recording I Have.......2000-01-11

Hahaha! Those two previous reviews are quite funny... especially Poop's. Well, I have this version of Miss Saigon and I can tell you it's the best one I have yet heard.

Even though I love Lea Salonga, the London Cast is almost unlistenable because of the terrible Chris (with his horrible voice and forced vibrato). The Complete Symphonic Cast has a better Chris, but a lackluster Kim. I also have a Hungarian Cast version which is okay, but the Ellen sounds too much like a man to enjoy it.

The best version I have heard yet, is the German Cast. It has great singers for all the roles and even though you may not understand the lyrics (like me), the quality of the cast too good to be missed. "The Heat is on in Saigon" is especially good, with a 'bigger' sound (almost like you have a big band playing). The only drawback is that there are some tracks not included on this CD, since it is only a single disc. But try it out, you won't be disappointed! Or maybe you will!

5 out of 5 stars GERMAN cast recording.......1999-12-08

In case Poop Nakamura missed the whole point, this is the GERMAN cast recording. So the musical is NOT sung in English -- it was translated into GERMAN.
