Music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Lyrics by Charles Hart.

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. 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. The soundtrack also features a newly penned song by Webber, the poignant "Learn to Be Lonely," sung by Minnie Driver, who appears in the role of Carlotta in the film.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

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.

5 stars Blown Away By the Music-Feb 2011
Just returned from seeing the POTO on Broadway after having seen the movie with Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum. The show was awesome. The score from the movie is amazing, haunting, stirring, passionate . . . I must have it! Take the opportunity to see the show at the Majestic on Broadway and do get the movie soundtrack. I'm hooked & you will be too!

3 stars 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.
