Best Candide recording. GO!!!
The OBC, hands down. I have a fondness for the 1997 revival, followed by the 1974.
L.A. Opera is doing Candide in February. Chris and I are seeing it.
I'm partial to the NPR broadcast of the 2004 concert solely because of Kristin Chenoweth. The concert was a hot mess (in my opinion) when it was broadcast on PBS, but audio only helps it a lot.
Although I'm still confused about the plot.
Ya can't have just one. ;)
The OBC of COURSE
The '74 Revival for the added songs and the full book.
The City Opera Revival for the other added songs and having a lot of the '74 Revival with full orchestrations.
The almost-every-song-version to have almost-every-song.
