COMPLETE ORIGINAL CONCEPT RECORDING

Nearly lost to the world forever, this historic collectors' edition is now available to the public! (Exclusive: HERE ONLY)

Complete, every note! The only recording of the original version, in its entirety. This 3CD set, with top talent selected and coached directly by the creators, includes liner notes with a full reprint of Johnathan Daniel Steppe's intricate and compelling original libretto, and features Malcolm Caluori's dramatic draft orchestrations. The stellar cast includes Shaun Whitley's amazing Valmont and powerhouse Maura Carey Neill as the Marquise.

Following a break-in during post production, the years of work that led to this unique, once-only recording dissppeared in an instant. Only one obscure backup source was undisturbed, permitting post production on Act II to proceed. Act I was nearly a total loss if not for the coincidental creating of unpolished, temporary test tracks just prior to the crime. Their existence enabled the reconstruction of the entire performance, although with some compromised sound quality in the begining which improves as Act I progresses. What Posterity nearly lost forever can now be a special addition to your collection.
