Camelot [Remaster] - Original Cast (CD 1998)

Love Camelot. The CD is great. Letting my 4 year old granddaughter listen to it and we both sign along the the CD.
Thank you.

I grew up listening to the Camelot soundtrack on LP. When Robert Goulet died I wanted a cd version of it. It is great. The music is just a moving now as it was 40 years ago. The seller was very quick in getting my cd to me. Thanks!

Camelot is a timeless treasure. Lyrics and music by Lerner & Lowe (My Fair Lady). In my estimation, the 1966 Broadway version of Camelot is a much better version than the movie soundtrack (with Richard Harris). I may be biased because the Broadway production is the one I heard first, and most of the time the version people hear first and learn to appreciate, becomes their standard. But beyond any personal bias, the broadway version is superior for one very important reason. It is uncensored. "Fie On Goodness", and "The Seven Deadly Virtues", were excluded from the movie soundtrack because they were considered too risque' for the general audience. However, they are of utmost importance to the story. "Virtues" defines Mordreds character and explains his subversive behavior throughout. "Fie" relates the knights unrest and dissatisfaction, and subsequent division amongst them. How the film was made without these two songs is bewildering to me. The vocal performances of the Broadway version are sterling. How, for instance, could anyone improve Goulet's arrogant, boisterous yet innocent rendition of C'est Moi? Andrews delivers as usual. Burton, to me, falls into a special category of entertainers (Incl. Louis Armstrong, Jimmy Durante) that really don't have a very good singing voice, but express so much heart, soul, and character in their performances, that any technical vocal shortcomings are entirely immaterial. If you are unfamiliar with Camelot, take a chance and buy this CD, - expand your horizons.
