Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack Product Description
Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack by London Casts / Original American / Original Soundtrack was released Nov 23, 2004 on the Sony Music label. Music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack Lyrics by Charles Hart. Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack It's a testament to Andrew Lloyd Webber's crowd-pleasing compositional skills that the original cast recording of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA went on to become the biggest-selling cast album ever. Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack So when the time came to adapt his music for the film version of the monumentally successful theatrical work, Webber enlisted the aid of longtime collaborators Nigel Wright and Simon Lee. They produced an expanded orchestral version of the score, grander and more sumptuous than the original, and assembled a 100-member ensemble to do it justice. However, the tragic story of the disfigured Phantom and Christine, the beautiful object of his desire, cannot be told without powerful performances of those roles. Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum quickly dispel any concerns regarding the adequacy of their portrayals. Butler's full-blooded renditions of "The Music of the Night" and the title song are tinged with a dark eroticism, while Rossum's account of "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" skillfully conveys her character's vulnerability and conflicted feelings. ...See Full Description

| Sublime Fantastic recording from the movie -relive it again and again! By DLBaldock (Australia)  |
| Just like the theater! I have seen this show on Broadway in NYC. The musical is wonderful and this soundtrack is just like the show! Just excellent!!! By luvzaverb (Charlotte, NC)  |
| Good movie and audio CD I have both editions of Phantom of the Opera. The one with Michael Crawford and one with Gerard Butler. I like both and I think Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum are really good. I love Michael Crawford as the Phantom, but Gerard is good too. I prefer Emmy Rossum as Christine over Sarah Brightman, though Sarah is a fantastic singer. Its hard to believe Emmy was only 18 when she made the Phantom movie. She has a promising career ahead. Its too bad they didn't make the original Phantom with Michael Crawford/Sarah Brightman into a movie like they did with the 2004 version. By Mary (Toronto, Canada) |
| Hauntingly Magnificant 1111 I cannot get this excellent music out of my brain. It is so rich, and beautiful that even at my age (64) it truly makes me feel as though love is right around the corner...and because of the saddness of the music....that love will die also.
