What soundtrack is better for les mis?

Answer 1

In my opinion, the best soundtrack to get for Les Miserables is the CSR (Complete Symphonic Recording), because it is the only soundtrack that has every single song that us sung in the Broadway play version of Les Mis. Below I'll name the other soundtracks available for Les Mis: The OBC (Original Broadway Cast) recording misses numerous songs that the CSR version has, the CSR version just has more songs on it than the OBC. The OBC also has a totally different cast singing all the songs. The OLC (Original London Cast) recording is very similar to the OBC described above. However, the OLC has 2 songs that aren't found on any other recording available of Les Miserables (Little People (the CSR abd OBC has a song of the same name, but it's a different song) & Love Montage: I Saw Him Once/In My Life/A Heart Full Of Love). The 10th Anniversary Concert Recording & the 25th Anniversary Concert Recording is also very similar in description to what I have above with the OBC. (Some singers may be the same in some of these recordings). There are also various Highlights of Les Mis available as well. These just pick only certain songs of Les Mis. The soundtrack for the movie version of the musical that came out when it premiered in theaters in Dec 2012, also has 1 new brand new song (Suddenly) that is not available on any other recording.
