Gorgeous production with a stellar cast. Renée Fleming is a star!

What a fantastic cast recording, haven’t stopped listening since the release!

Each time Jessie Mueller begins to sing, every bone in my body quakes; she is simply just an incomparable performer.

I saw this production a couple of weeks weeks ago, and it is absolutely wonderful. And this recording is stunning. Jessie Mueller is perfection as Julie Jordan, and she never ceases to amaze me with her versatility. Here we get to hear her gorgeous "legit" voice. She performs each song with such emotional honesty and such musicality, that I have to say she is easily the best Julie Jordan I've ever seen or heard. And I've heard all the recordings and seen any number of productions, including the legendary 1994 Lincoln Center revival. Joshua Henry is simply magnificent as Billy Bigelow. Renee Fleming stops the show cold when she sings "You'll Never Walk Alone," and this recording does her full justice. I love the orchestrations, and all of the cast. This has instantly become my favorite recording of CAROUSEL.

I saw the production yesterday. Now listening to the recording. I have the same misgivings about both. There is a lot of amazing talent here. However... Problem one for me are the tempos. They are all so fast and the poignant songs seem rushed, like they don't have time to breathe. This was also true in the theater yesterday. Second is the phrasing of the lyrics. There is an effort to make everything interesting and conversational and to not just "Sing out, Louise"... They don't spin out beautiful long phrases. I think it compromises the beauty of the R&H score. This was very true in the theater. Third, why do they all sound like they are singing from the back of a wind tunnel? That's a problem in the recording. It's still enjoyable, but I find myself returning to Shirley Jones to hear a beautiful voice singing at a lovely slow tempo.

Definitive performances by Josh Henry, Lindsay Mendez, Renée Fleming and Alexander Gemignani, plus amazing orchestrations. Keep the tissue nearby.

Beautiful orchestral arrangements, outstanding vocal talent. Brilliant production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic piece of musical theatre, currently on Broadway. Not to be missed!

Lushly recorded and sung beautifully. Jessie Mueller proves she can really do just about anything. What a voice! (Would love to hear her sing Eliza Dolittle but I digress). Joshua Henry and Lindsay Mendez both knock it out of the park. But I'm left feeling something is missing. I think, in the case of 'If I Loved You', it's the tempo. It feels rushed and there's no time to let the scene build the way it needs to. Perhaps it's just the limiations of the recording but I felt the same way about Billy's 'Soliloquy'. I may change my mind as I continue to listen, and I will continue to listen because there is tremendous vocal talent here, but right now I feel like this is a missed opportunity for something really magnificent instead of simply good.

This company is amazing! They’re all extremely talented singers & they sound wonderful in this new revival. They bring a fresh take on the classic songs.
