Детали релиза : VA - Chicago / Чикаго (2002) [FLAC (tracks + .cue)]

First, Richard Gere is great in the film, but better here, because he's really acting with his voice. His nasal smarminess fits.
Second, Catherine Zeta-Jones just leaps out of your speakers, brassy and bold.
Third, and I think most important, is Renee Zellweger's performance. Her range from a coquettish purr to a full-throated roar is staggering. You will be scratching your head, saying, "I had no idea..."
Furthermore, the other supporting players...to a T...are perfection, and unexpectedly so. Queen Latifah and John C. Reilly nail their parts with assurance, and the ensemble piece "Cell Block Tango" literally raises the roof.
Lastly, the musicianship is impeccable. The arrangement are snappy and tight, and perfectly intertwined with the vocal performances. During musical interludes, you can almost hear voices singing along, and during vocal passages, it's hard not to "fill in" extra background music in your head...
So...if you've seen the movie, you need this.
If you haven't seen the movie, go right now. But if you get this FIRST, I guarantee that wild horses will not be able to keep you away from the theatre.
By the way, don't bother with the "extra" tunes. They're superfluous. Although I wish I could have heard Janet Jackson's take on this material, as it was rumored early on she would contribute an extra track...
