The gothic love story of Gaston Leroux's novel proved for ALW to be a perfect match of the artist and the subject matter. Since it premiered in October 1986 in London and a year after that on Broadway, it became one of the best and most beloved musicals of all time. Enjoy.Īs most people know by now, Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'The Phantom of the Opera' is a musical phenomenon. well, you will find all of these feelings in here. You often hear that classical music is a form of art that can express human feelings, from fear to love, from anger to joy, from sadness to hope. Really hope to be able to hear it performed live again. The way the 'songs' are arranged for cello and violin and the way they are linked together is fantastic and the pace is just right, it keeps you hooked for the whole half an hour (or just over), from the dramatic opening (which must be exceptionally difficult to play for both the cellist and the violinist!!) to the bitter-sweet ending.īoth Julian Lloyd Webber and Sarah Chang give a flawless performance here and prove the world class musicians they are. If you are familiar with the musical, you will recognise all the main songs from the musical and you may even find yourself singing along to the music! Whether you are familiar with Phantom of the Opera or not, you will enjoy it. It is a very well written, very enjoyable double concerto for violin, cello and orchestra. This is a CD that is very special to me and I wanted to write something about it, but after reading the previous reviews there isn't much else I can add about this fabulous album, other than, perhaps, you may think this is crossover music.
