Put Toothpicks In Earlobes

Jan Ammann - Musical (CD)

I had this CD for quite some time on the shelf and I frankly been a bit down in front of a review. I've seen, however, that more time was needed in the blog and then it is probably about time my personal impressions of the CD to put into words.

Jan Ammann is the latest since his role as "Count of Krolock" in the play "Dance of the Vampires" and by his participation in the "Musical Tenors" and the Levay / Kunze Gala "I belong only to me," the musical superstars of recent years and so was his solo CD is already eagerly awaited.
released it on 30.10.2010 at Sound of Music and will be available from 01.21.2011 and outside of the specialist trade such as Amazon.

you with the simple title of "Musical". A name of the program is because the CD reflects his musical-sized career.
the moment you see the track list, some structure into the eye. The CD is divided as it were, in certain Roller sections. First, his songs as Krolock, then followed a shot of the Pompeii-cast CD of songs by himself in the "I belong only to me gala" (-> Link: here ) has sung - with the appropriate duet partners . Finally, still other roles he has played well.


Here, then, first the track list:

first The invitation to the ball DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES
second Total eclipse (duet with Sabrina Weckerlin) - DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES
3. God is dead DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES 3
4th Sarah (guest soloist Sascha Kurth) - DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES
5th The insatiable greed DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES
6th The way (duet with Darius Merstein) - POMPEII THE MUSICAL (also on the cast CD)
7th God, why - REBECCA (I belong only to me gala) 8
Not come without walking - ELISABETH (I belong only to me gala) 9
If I want to dance (duet with Kristin Hoelck) ELISABETH (I belong only to me gala) 10
The shadows are longer (duet with Sascha Kurth) ELISABETH (I belong only to me gala) 11
This is the hour of JEKYLL & HYDE (played in Bad Hersfeld)
12th How can I love DISNEY BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
13th Cold stars - LUDWIG 2 (also on the cast CD)
14th Beloved mountains LUDWIG 2 (also on the cast CD)


I'm still (always) is not really conclusive as to what to make of this distribution.
As great it is to finally have a CD recording of him as a vampire count or a reminder of the "I belong only to me - Gala" on record to have ... Somehow, the CD by this juxtaposition of something unimaginative.
this I will not make the vocal quality in question. But you have half a shot of "Dance of the Vampires," a half recording of "I belong only to me gala" and an encore, then another cast recordings of other CDs.
I personally would have found it better when you have both brought out CDs as complete and Jan's solo CD out on perhaps a little more value on his own pieces, would have the yes there are quite (keyword: Torn Picture) So right euphoria will not adjust to me why.. That may go but many might be different, who have not seen the gala.


Among the songs:
friend Jan proves once again what a fantastic singer he is and that, according to Steve Barton, hardly is a better Krolock. In the other roles (eg as in Elizabeth's death or deWinter Maxim in Rebecca), he likes it a lot. Ludwig ² is just not my musical, sung still fantastic. No question!

duet partner :
My highlight of the CD is very clear: Sabrina Weckerlin !! Since the Wiener Original Cast Recording I'm not so strong "Sarah" There's more! Why, one wonders, is this role always been held by relatively weak little voice, where there are so-voiced actresses such as Sabrina?
The other duet partner make a good impression. Guest soloist Sascha Kurth was already on the gala and it has convinced me there already - why he though his own solo on the solo CD gets another, I do not really come into his head. His "For Sarah" is not the worst - with me at the last vampire Dennis Jankowiak visit - has convinced a little more (> Link here ).
Kristin Hoelck is not my case. Have seen them numerous times live and I can only repeat: Every time a solid, good performance, but I shall not easy. What are the reasons always likes. The duet with Darius Merstein other hand, is absolutely my case - from "The Way" every time I get a catchy tune, even if not re-recorded the song, but 1-1 from the Pompeii Cast-CD was taken.

Conclusion: Jan Ammann
Who likes to This CD is definitely a must! It was undecided whether the CD would have collected would be clever können.Da sure have been possible, but it's nice to finally have more Jan on the shelf. He is a great singer and performer.
