[4.5.5] Why is there more than one Saltimbanco CD?
- Other than the original studio album (denoted “Saltimbanco
(1994)”) and the Extended edition album (denoted “Satlimbanco
(Extended)”), only one other commercially available album
exists under the Saltimbanco moniker. Its official title is
simply “Saltimbanco” but denoted (2005) because the album’s
music was remixed and re-released that year making it different
than the original studio and limited Extended edition albums
that have been previously released by either RCA/Victor or
BMG/Cirque du Soleil Musique alliances. The “Saltimbanco
(2005)” album is the only one currently in production and
available.
Consequently, as a side note, there is one other album in the
Cirque du Soleil repertoire bearing the name “Saltimbanco” and
that is “Saltimbanco Live in Amsterdam.” The album is an
employee issue CD, recorded live under the big top in Amsterdam
1996 through the sound board. Since it was never commercially
available, the title is not consiered a canon album in the
Cirque du Soleil music catalog (listed above).< ?ol>
