Superb music...tricky box October 7, 2008
29 out of 29 found this review helpful
This is a wonderfully varied, superbly sung, reasonably ordered 3 disc compilation of Webber's life's work. The versions are beautiful, there's the `classics' : Sarah Brightman, Jason Donovan etc. But this really does span all the avenues for his creations; Emmy Rossum's version of `Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again' is included from the film version of Phantom and Madonna's `You Must Love Me' from the Evita film. There are also some of the most recent stage versions; Lee Mead and Connie Fisher are both featured, from the popular Any Dream Will Do and How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? Although Connie sings `Make Up My Heart' from Starlight Express. I also very much enjoyed Elvis Presley being included and some other lesser known ones (at least to me).
The third disc is my least favourite, only a couple of the songs really stood out, the first two are by far the better, being lest varied but more memorable, featured heavily are: Starlight Express, Tell Me On A Sunday, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Phantom of the Opera, Whistle Down the Wind and Cats. As these are my favourites I didn't mind and it didn't bore as different performers sing different songs.
I think the first two discs are more successful because more thought seems to have gone into the ordering of the tracks; disc one for instance has many title tracks like `The Phantom of the Opera', `Superstar', `Whistle Down the Wind' and the songs that you associate with specific musicals, the ones that really stand alone and can be taken out of context, like `Memory' and `Love changes Everything'. Disc two contrasts by being a lot more melancholic, thematically the songs deal with loss and are highly reflective, Elvis Presley's `Its Easy for You' and `Close Every Door' do this very well. Also the tracks here have a Rock and Roll sound to them, Anastacia's version of `Superstar' fits in well, the high points for me are `One Rock `n' Roll too many' and `A Kiss is a Terrible Thing to Waste' the latter being the Metal Philharmonic Orchestra version. Conversely disc three is a bit of a miss match of songs, personally I hate the first track and I dislike some of the versions, but there are high points: `Pie Jesu', `The Music of the Night' and `Make up my Heart'. Most of the tracks on this disc are meditative and slow, except for Alice Cooper's bizarre version of `King Herod's Song'.
I mentioned the case, it is pretty tricky to remove the individual CD's which are cramped in tight.
Still I very much recommend, it's not perfect but very enjoyable and you get a lot for your money, this may even be better then `Music of the Night' another great musical and film complication double disc that I treasure. But do make sure you look carefully at the contents of the three discs as personal taste may dictate whether you think it's worth buying.
P.S After long periods of banging and muttering my outer case allows for much easier removal of the CDs.
P.S.S The more I listen to this the more I love it.
