Product Description
This Deluxe Complete Edition of the Sweeney Todd film soundtrack contains the complete music from the film. It is specially-packaged with an 80-page bound booklet, with lyrics and photographs.
Amazon.com
Stephen Sondheim's Grand-Guignol blend of opera and musical theater is a perfect match for director Tim Burton's gothic sensibility. The result of their encounter is a superb screen musical that, despite early fears from the show's fans, preserves most of the score ("The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" being the most egregious loss) and, perhaps even more importantly, its spirit (regular Sondheim orchestrator Jonathan Tunick did the new arrangements). And yes, Johnny Depp can sing. Granted, singing in a movie is easier than it is onstage, but still, Depp is at ease with the material, if a little thin-voiced. Helena Bonham Carter is a bit more problematic as Mrs. Lovett (there's a reason this character has been played by the likes of Angela Lansbury and Patti LuPone on stage) and her take on "The Worst Pies in London" tries hard but lacks gleeful gusto (she fares better on "By the Sea"). More convincing are Sacha Baron Cohen, appropriately outlandish as Pirelli ("The Contest"), Jayne Wisener as Johanna ("Green Finch and Linnet Bird"), and Alan Rickman as Judge Turpin (a good duet with Depp on "Pretty Women"). Sondheim fans won't be disappointed, and the film should also bring new converts into his world. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

 Sweeney Todd January 8, 2009
Very complete CD of the video with several extras. Fun for those who like have lots of files on iTunes and something different for on you iPod. Comes with lots art work from the movie which makes for a nice extra with the CD set.
 DON'T BUY THIS VERSION!! January 6, 2009
The movie version of Sweeney Todd was okay - but the singing doesn't compare with the Broadway Cast Recording. Spend a few extra dollars and hear Sondheim's music the way it was meant to be sung!Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1979 Original Broadway Cast)

If you loved the move you must have the CD Its great all the songs!
Todd-ily hooked December 24, 2008
I am totally addicted to this soundtrack! It's horror with class. I also would recommend this for people with stressful jobs who need an outlet and are mature enough to NOT go out and make Priest pies.
Love the CD as much as the movie! December 16, 2008

No these people are not singers, but they can sing! I listen to this CD over and over again. Helena's voice is so raw and refreshing, she IS Mrs. Lovett. Johnny of course, is there anything this man can't do? My favorite is the duet he does with Anthony of the song Joanna, it's such a beautiful song. The whole CD is fun and entertaining. I love it and can't get enough.
