Book Reviews of Cabaret (Vocal Score)
Book Review: This is the real thing - other reviews are about another item
Summary: 4 Stars
The reviews by Mr. Church and Hailey Haven are not about this item (the Full Vocal Score), but about the Vocal Selections (as is stated). I agree completely with Mr. Church that the Vocal Selections from the film are pourly cut.
The Full Vocal Score however contains ALL the music from the stage show (original version, not the Sam Mendes revival in which three songs from the film were added), including Playouts, Changes of Scene, Entr'acte, Curtain calls and Exit music. Also it gives you the instrumentation of different musical layers. (Don't bother to "Look Inside TM" to see what I mean: this link brings you to the Vocal Selections which as I already pointed out is a completely different item). Furthermore: spiral bound, so it stays open on your piano!
Nevertheless there are two negative notes:
- only songs from the show (not Mein Herr, Maybe this time, Money-money)
- no chord symbols
If you only look for the songs (and ALL the songs with chords, both show ànd film) I'd recommend "The Complete Cabaret Collection - Author's edition". But then you miss all incidental music and notes about instrumentation.
So I (preparing and musically arranging a production of the whole show) settled for this solution: the Full Vocal Score with most of the music (204 pages of sheet music and only 4 pages of accompanying text!) and photocopying of the songs that are not in the original show (but in the film). Too bad there's no "Definitive Cabaret Collection" to suit every man's wishes...
Update June 2008: my show has been played 5 times to great succes and good reviews, especially praising the orchestra. This orchestra could only have played so good thanks to the arrangements, for which I have made thorough use of the Full Vocal Score I bought in November 2007. This item has helped me a lot!
