Both such amazing performers. Christiane was great in Ragtime and everything else she does. and Linda Eder in anything. Linda's performance of Don't Rain On My Parade was INCREDIBLE
Looking at this after having worked with a number of singers over the years, not only is this a really, really great performance: I am blown away by the fact that they sang this early in the morning wearing corsets. Those are long high powered notes!
I like the song and I gotta admit that they are very good and it sounds pretty. Buy I just prefer Coleen Sexton and Andrea Rivette to Linda Eder and Christiane Noll. I know they were the originals but I honestly think Coleen Sexton's voice is was prettier and suits the role more than Linda Eder's voice does. Plus Colern puts more of the character's expression into her songs.
I think Christiane and Andrea are rated about the same on my scale because they sound the same.
Just saying. Lucy's much cooler than Emma. I mean, I know Emma comes from a rich family and her father wanted her to marry Dr. Jekyll, but you gotta admit. Lucy is very cool and yet, even if she doesn't admit it, she's pretty awesome. Gotta handsome bad boy who is Edward Hyde!. Even though he does hurt her and what not. But still. Linda's much cooler thanEmma. (: Hyde/Lucy for the win!
Absolutely amazing. It just does not get better than this. I would almost die to be able to sing with such passion and feeling and having a good voice would be nice too. I am going to see the show in our summer series here in pittsburgh
All I ever knew from the show was "Someone Like You" and "This Is The Moment." I love this song! Now I have to see this whole show... I always adored Linda Eder, now Christina Noll has a new fan, too :) Wow...
I am a huge fan of Christiane Noll, great voice - - and great duet here with Linda Eder. I did not get the opportunity to see this show; heard it was bad ... but the music is fantastic.
Beautiful song!!! I love J&H... I worked at the Plymouth Theater in NYC for about 6 weeks, and saw the performance about 30 times... I love it, especially the original cast... Thanks for posting!
I've seen many performance where both Emma and Lucy have been sopronos. What works well is the fact Lucy is an alto and Emma a soprono which makes their voices work really beautifully together.
my voice teacher knows them! hes helping me learn this and told me to buy their version of this and i fell in love with it. such an amazing song for two amazing voices. bravo
NO ONE does this song like these two. No one. It's perfect. Duality of their voices which somehow does not hinder their blending. Christine's tone is so beautiful and just makes you want to sigh, and then Linda comes in and her velvet voce just mades your heart swell....Amazing.
christiane noll's voice is very lovely.. light yet powerfu while linda eder's voice is thick that obviously contradicts christiane noll's voice which is a good thing when singing in duet.. their voices complement each other..
true...emma carew is a lady from high society, gentle but unsophisticated, while Lucy Harris is a woman from the lower class, quite tough and cynnical...
This is really interesting to watch in terms of star quality: Christiane Noll has a beautiful, very well trained voice and really does everything right but when you compare her to Linda who's less perfect yet has so much coming out of her eyes let alone her voice without even trying hard all you want to do is watch Linda.
@Lindow That's exactly what I was thinking all the time. Somehow Linda breaks through your heart and holds on to it. She puts so much emotion into it, that you simply believe that she is really Lucy, and not Linda playing Lucy. She really touches me.
That was one of the most impressive versions I've heard. They have a lot of control and very nice vobrado. Some of the videos I've seen have been really crappy and annoyoing because they couldn't control their voices.
blazian2006: Thanks for posting this. It brings back great memories. My wife and I saw "Jekyll and Hyde" on Broadway. Both of us were mesmerized by Linda Eder and Christiane Noll. Thanks again for taking the time to upload the video.
yes I agree... This song and This is the Moment are my favorites.. But I have to say that I think this version is better.. Coleen sounds too much like a litle girl, and Linda has a more mature voice for this song... just my opinion :)
While Linda's voice is much more controlled I still enjoy Coleen's performance of this song better. Don't get me wrong in the performance on the DVD Coleen goes flat at the end, but she's much more emotional and believable in my opinion, and often that's more important.
I think this song shows that although they have different perspectives on life, Lucy and Emma both have the same thoughts on love and things like that.
wow this is nothing short of brilliant. it makes me want to cry because
a) it's such an absolutely gorgeous and heart-wrenching song and
b) i'm a striving musical theater devotee, but when i listen to women with incredible voices like these it makes me realize that i will never be that astounding...
very good video. I have to say that I've always preferred Noll. Such a beautiful and effortless voice. Linda Eder is great too but her technique isn't as good, though I enjoy her balls to the wall belting, especially for this role.
and linda eder sings VERY legit. otherwise she could not pull of such performances as Man of La Mancha (she sopranos a high G), and her 1988 star search performance.
Absolutely fabulous, I would kill to be half as good as Christiane or Linda! These women are two of the most talented, flawless performers to hit the Broadway stage. And this song is certainly not easy, but they make it seem so painless.
This is just beautiful. I find it funny though that they aren't wearing the same costumes that they wear in the actual scene from the show. Yet again those are the 2 outfits that you remember both their characters in... But still the two of them powerhouses. Thank you so much for posting!!!
Thank you sooo much for posting this, Linda Eder's tone and technique are faultless. I have been looking for ages of an actual performance of her singing this. Thank you again
