Amazon.com essential recording:
Despite being known for her televised sleuthing these days, Angela Lansbury once managed to both spook and delight Broadway audiences as the maker of very particular delicacies in Victorian London. In this macabre extravaganza, Lansbury's Nellie Lovett is the accomplice of Len Cariou's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. After he slashes his victims, she turns them into her meat pies' main ingredient. For this most ghoulish of shows, Sondheim looked for inspiration in the way the music is used in horror and suspense movies, particularly in the soundtracks of Bernard Herrmann. The winner of nine Tony Awards in 1979, Sweeney Todd may not be Sondheim's most accessible score, but its operatic complexity (it is almost entirely sung-through) makes it darkly spellbinding. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Having seen the original Broadway and subsequent revivals in NYC and LA, I must say that "Sweeney" never ceases to thrill - scored and written brilliantly. My only complaint with this particular 2-disc set (this was a replacement to an earlier 2-disc set) is that the libretto is not included.

As a big Sweeney Todd fan, I believe I have all the recordings of it.
In my opinion, this one is the gold standard.
I not saying that the other versions are not good, I'm just saying that this one is my favorite.

I saw the movie with Johnny Depp. It was great and wanted to buy the sound track. Mentioned wanting to buy it to the theatre director where I go to see college plays. They do a great job there and the director told me that the Broadway version is better, so I took his word for it and bought this one and he was right! The musical score from the movie is good too. It's all a matter of personal taste. The music is very pretty and the singers are very good. If a person didn't know what this was ... Read More
