Med musikk av ABBA’s Benny Andersson og Björn Ulvaeus, og tekst av Tim Rice, forsterker CHESS the Musical (2025 Broadway Cast Recording) sin arv med trettitre nye, dynamiske orkestreringer av elskede sanger som “Anthem,” “Nobody’s Side,” og “Pity the Child” fra noen av Broadways mest bemerkelsesverdige stjerner: Lea Michele, Aaron Tveit, & Nicholas Christopher.
I wasn't expecting the 2CD set to sound this rich, but the new orchestrations give songs like "Anthem" a whole different weight. Disc two alone is worth the purchase for how crisp the vocals come through.
The thirty-three new orchestrations on this 2CD set genuinely surprised me — "One Night in Bangkok" hits harder with the fuller arrangement. Both discs played cleanly with no skipping, and the booklet notes are a nice bonus.
Wasn't sure a 2025 cast recording could top the versions I grew up with, but those thirty-three new orchestrations give the whole thing fresh life. The two discs sound crisp and the booklet is a nice touch for following along.
