He cut the show's famous opening number, 'The Ballad of Sweeney Todd', explaining, 'Why have a chorus singing about 'attending the tale of Sweeney Todd' when you could just go ahead and attend it?'[citation needed] Sondheim acknowledged that, in adapting a musical to film, the plot has to be kept moving, and was sent MP3 files of his shortened songs by Mike Higham, the film's music producer, for approval. Several other songs were also cut, and Sondheim noted that there were 'many changes, additions and deletions... [though]... if you just go along with it, I think you'll have a spectacular time.'[2] To create a larger, more cinematic feel, the score was reorchestrated by the stage musical's original orchestrator, Jonathan Tunick, who increased the orchestra from twenty-seven musicians to seventy-eight.
The Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street Deluxe Complete Edition soundtrack was released on December 18, 2007. Johnny Depp's singing was described by a New York Times reviewer as 'harsh and thin, but amazingly forceful'.[3] Another critic adds that, though Depp's voice 'does not have much heft or power', 'his ear is obviously excellent, because his pitch is dead-on accurate... Beyond his good pitch and phrasing, the expressive colorings of his singing are crucial to the portrayal. Beneath this Sweeney's vacant, sullen exterior is a man consumed with a murderous rage that threatens to burst forth every time he slowly takes a breath and is poised to speak. Yet when he sings, his voice crackles and breaks with sadness.'[4]

The soundtrack for Tim Burton's film of Stephen Sondheim's musical thriller Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is reasonably close in content and spirit to the original musical, which was released in 1979 on RCA. Starring Johnny Depp as the vengeful Sweeney and Helena Bonham Carter as pie-maker Mrs. Lovett, this adaptation could boast no finer leads, for they inhabit their roles with remarkable sympathy and pathos, and their singing is subtly expressive, rhythmically accurate, and usually on pitch, too. However, in comparison with the original stars, Depp's snide growls are less convincingly gut-wrenching than Len Cariou's howls, and Bonham Carter's portrayal is somewhat gentler and milder than Angela Lansbury's sharp characterization. The rest of the cast presents some entertaining highpoints, notably those by Sacha Baron Cohen as the bombastic Pirelli, and the versatile Alan Rickman as the odious Judge Turpin. But highest honors go to treble Edward Sanders as Tobias, who delivers 'Pirelli's Miracle Elixir' and 'Not While I'm Around' with scene-stealing aplomb and sings with superb technique and a beautiful tone. Fans of the show will miss the chorus 'The Ballad of Sweeney Todd,' as well as the Judge's obsessive 'Johanna,' and Beadle Bamford's 'Parlor Songs,' but the rest of the songs are accounted for, and the orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick are faithfully conducted by Paul Gemignani, who leads a skilled studio orchestra. Nonesuch's sound is rich and atmospheric, though a little subdued in some tracks, requiring a few careful volume adjustments.
