Amazon.co.uk Review
What's left to be said about Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera a decade after its premiere? That it's maddeningly ubiquitous? A stitch-up of various themes shoplifted from the Italian operatic repertoire? A critic-proof crowd pleaser that's probably being staged somewhere in the world as you read this? A mega-hit that will likely outlive Titanic in the pop-culture pantheon, Phantom has largely redefined--for better or worse--the manner in which modern musicals are conceived, staged and marketed. Its influence has reached far beyond the traditional confines of London and Broadway. A favourite example: an abridged version that was the centrepiece of Los Angeles' longest running transvestite revue, replete with 14-inch chandeliers and a man-playing-a-woman-playing-a-man in the title role. --Jerry McCulley

 Phantom of the Opera July 11, 2009
Dr. J. A. K. Davies
Having seen the show before I bought the CD, I can say that it made it easy to relive the show
 Nearest thing to being there May 21, 2009
Mr. R. Coleman (United Kingdom)
For its age, this is a really good recording. It has been remastered for the best possible sound and comes with a book containing the FULL show script. The only reason this gets a 4 instead of a 5 is because it is not the complete show on the discs. Primarily towards the beginning there are some strange jumps. It has one of the best 'All I ask of you(reprise)' tracks I have heard because it is recorded just like it is done in the show (brings it all back). Definitely worth buying if you are a fan of the show.

I bought this for my 8 year old who LOVES Phantom - I was surprised and pleased to find not only the CD but also a book with the full script from the musical included. Great production, fab sound, now all I have to do is stop my son singing along! Thoroughly recommended!
Superb! August 18, 2007

I own the film soundtrack and this original cast recording version. I've seen the show 4 times now and this CD brings back the memories; the Overture does give you goose bumps and from this recording you get the flavour of the theatre experience.
When sung well, as they are in this case, 'Music of the Night' and 'All I Ask of You' are very moving. Sarah Brightman is the star of the original show as her voice is truly moving. I've always been skeptical about Michael Crawford, although his signing is excellent, I don't think brings the true gravitas of the character of the Phantom all that well.
I do like his interpretation of 'Music of the Night' though.
I've always preferred a Phantom that doesn't have too much of a 'Choir-Boy' type voice; Crawford gets close to this for me but never quite crosses the line. I saw performance once in London and it was a Stand-in Phantom and his voice was too high, I'm afraid!
Speaking of which, go and see Earl Carpenter, currently starring in the West End in London as the Phantom. He is the master. The last time I went with my wife-to-be and he was perfect; his portrayal of 'Music of the Night' that night was the best I've ever seen or heard, anywhere including New York (the Broadway cast were no slackers either, they were excellent).
So, which is best, the film or this soundtrack? My answer is they are both excellent, but are both very different portrayals of the songs. Get them both because it's worth it.
Fabulous!!! July 12, 2007
