Wow Loooong post. You really ment it! I got the cd last week (finally ) and I enjoy it a lot. As usual Pia is phenomenal, and I pretty much like the rest of the cast. Although I didn't like the substitution of "Liefde laat je nooit allen" with "Engel aus Kristall" , it just doesn't sound "right".

I finally got it, too, and I'm a bit disappointed. Some of my favorite songs have been taken away (Liefde laat je nooit alleen, Deze nacht...) and the orchestrations are bit weird. I love Engel aus Kristall, but it doesn't sound like something Athos would sing. I've never liked the song Alles, and the German version is even more boring and pop-like than the original. I also don't like the changes in Constance and Glaubt mir, but Männer then is surprisingly good. The cast... Patrick Stanke is irritating at some points, as well as Sabrina Weckerlin, Athos seems too young and Aramis doesn't sound like Aramis. Apart from all this, the cd has been in my player the last four days and I like it. Especially I love Uwe and Pia. I had heard so much about Milady is zurück, but I certainly didn't expect it to be like it is and first it just made me laugh a lot, but now I actually like it. The recording would be so much better if I hadn't heard the Dutch cast first, because I still prefer that version to this.

Having never heard the Dutch recording, I must say I find the German one quite good and funny to listen to. I enjoy it, the songs give me a happy feeling... D'Artagnan sounds young and enthusiast, which I find ok by the character, but I don't like "Alles", it's way to pop for my taste. Never heard about this Sabrina... Is she some sort of "Tv-star"?? I must say, I understand Miladys' criticism toward Uwe's Richelieu, but well... His lines aren't helping!! Can you sing something like "Glaubt mir" without overacting?? ;D "Reisst sie in Stücke"... "Tod den Dämonen"... Oh, my God...

Great review, Milady. I have to agree with pretty much everything you said!
