How does he wave the flag with wrists that limp?

For a long time I thought that Julien Combey, of Paris revival recording fame, was the absolute fruitiest, gayest-sounding Enjolras ever to swish across the Les Mis stage.  But, having recently acquired the Berlin soundboard recording, I have to say that Martin Pasching gives him a run for his money.  And so, I present you with auditory aids and ask you, the friendslist, to decide.

OMG, your survey is hysterical. I'll vote later when I've listened. ;-) (Haven't played the revival recording in years!)

Martin's fruity, but Julien's gayer. :D

[mbs-bookworm.livejournal.com]

Julien Combey, by far.

You have a Berlin recording? Is it for sale somewhere? Aaaaaaaah, must have! Martin Pasching!!!!

Um. Yeah. Sorry. I just randomly found your journal, and we seem to have some things in common. Do you mind if I add you?

(Also, you really should listen to the Duisburg Cast, if you haven't already. Actually, Martin Berger is my favourite Enjolras, even though I love Martin Pasching, too.

Hope you don't mind the random comment -

Sure, add away!

The Berlin recording is terribly rare, as it was only sold in the theater while the show was running, but it's an excellent recording--one of the best Fantines I've ever heard, for example. Only reason I could get it was by trading around, but if you want it I'd be happy to upload it.

I love the Duisburg recording, even though the German lyrics are... special. Heh.

[eponinenkind.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. Somehow it wasn't sold when I saw the show? Weird.

Ah well, I knew the German version long before any other, so I'm used to the lyrics *g*

The Paris tracks are from the PRC, yah?

[10littlebullets.livejournal.com]

Aye.

This is totally random, but, wow. The Berlin!amis sound really hyper.

[devils-child7.livejournal.com]

Yep, Martin Pasching is pretty gay.

Would you mind uploading the Berlin soundboard, please? I'd be eternally grateful. :)
