Cats as cats can

The music is sometimes shrill, sometimes theatrical, sometimes gently insinuating, mysterious, romantic and poetic, just as cats are - or how people see them. One it is not: monotonous or even boring, turning in circles, as some pleasing at first sight composition. In short, this is an exceptional musical treat for all musical friends, especially of course the cat lovers among them. But cats muffle may have trouble understanding.

To designate this recording as complete, can be understood as misleading. There are to be regretted some cuts. So missing z. B. the battle of "Pekies and Pollicles" (some will be able to get over it well) and the final (a pity if it's not even the most important), the anthem of "Heavy-side layer" is to important passages shortened. Fortunately, you can Growltiger's Last Stand "in full length enjoy (to my knowledge). However, I personally prefer the part" The Ballad of Billy McCaw "the London original (certainly a piece of original English culture) the Italian duet Growltiger-Griddlebone" In una tepida notte "of Hamburg German performance (integrated into" Growltigers final battle ") before.

The music is great, the voices also, the songs are full of nuances interpreted, but without cover. On prominent places goosebumps guaranteed. I would like to highlight not performers, although "memory" with Elaine Page is interpreted outstanding.

The recording is digital "remastered" and sounds technically perfect, maybe a little too perfect? "Live" is certainly something else, just somehow more alive ...

All in all, this CD brings pleasure with no regrets and is probably one of the best shots. Other items appear to be less fully, to the quality I can not say anything.
