I was 2012 in Berlin at Tanz der Vampire - and loved it! I immediately had to hollow the CD to listen to it all over again. Here it must be said that it is a complete recording in September 2009 so handelt- quite topical! The actors are very good indeed. Thomas Borchert as Count von Krolock is really great. The other actors: Super! However, I find that the orchestra too "small" to come off. I imagined it much more powerful, since 25 person sit, instead of in Berlin only 18 (and in Berlin I found it much more powerful). And the live atmosphere is still missing me. Although you can hear some laughter, but that's about it. Nevertheless: Overall it is a very successful, modern, current total consumption from Vienna with really great actors ... but unfortunately with a not powerful orchestra. I recommend it anyway all!
