Well, yeah, Carsten is much less annoying on the CD than on DVDs. His Milch is actually not too bad, though I like other Luchenis better.
I have trouble deciding if I like Uwe more in Vienna or in Essen. In Essen he doesn't have the stupid hair and catwalk, but there I find he poses a bit too much instead of acting. But he has a wonderful way with Jesper's Rudolf there.
Oh, and I love Annemieke, by the way. I haven't seen and heard much with her, but I've been very impressed by her. Yay for getting someone new who's good.
I'm a little nervous about him playing Taafe. I'm not sure he's up to the vocal acrobatics that'll take. :(
Let's say that when I heard Uwe was going to be Taaffe, I spent several days raging about that at every opportunity, then I wrote this and found peace. Now I mostly treat the idea with mere scorn instead of rage. :P But I'm determined to see Rudolf in Budapest before Vienna so that the first thing I hear live of Taaffe's songs won't be the disaster Uwe's voice will make of them.
I've only listened to Olegg on the Stuttgart CD and watched a few video clips, but that's been enough to make him the only Death I ever hated. There's just something incredibly off-putting about his performance and I absolutely can't stand him. On video, live and on recordings, I've experienced around 20 different Deaths, and I like all of them in one way or another, except Olegg. That's something of an achievement. :P Him and Maike deserve each other, though...
I had the fortune of seeing Dávid as Rudolf twice. I walked in theatre knowing nothing of him, and came out with him as my favourite Rudolf. And I'm very picky about Rudolfs. He has that right mixture of fragility and mental imbalance with enough intelligence and spine that you can see what he's talking about with him and Sisi being similar. And he has ever so delicious chemistry with Death. I've only seen him with Szilveszter, not with Máté, but I was very impressed by their chemistry together. I'm a bit of a fangirl of Dávid's now. Though I wonder how it will be to see him as Mercutio, because nobody can compare to Zoli.
I think I've never managed to decide if it's "treachery" or "tragedy" but it sounds like "treasury" or possibly "tragédie" à la francaise. :P I'm not positive it's a good idea to give English texts for Felix to sing. I like him, but he should stick to German. But well, at least it's entertaining!
