Various - The soundtrack of Tom Stoppard's "Rock 'n' Roll" (@256)

I recently enjoyed Tom Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll. A play that goes from 1968 and the invasion of the Soviet tanks in Prague, to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The communist utopia for those who lived it from the outside and the harsh face of it for those who lived it from the inside, rock'n'roll as a rebellious declaration against oppressive regimes, as well as a paganist device, and last but not least, the significance of idealism and passion in people's lives, all these are part of this magnificent play.

This upload offers all songs, in the exact order they are heard during the play.

  3. @ first anon.: The music in Rock'n'Roll is indeed far away from what someone expects from a Broadway play.
    @ second anon.: thank you for commenting
