Wicked

CD-Charts > Music > Musicals
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 28, 2006
the album is definitely better than the show, which in my opinion is just a big panto, idina menzel thankfully sounds better on the album than she ever did on stage in london, kerry ellis showed how it should be done, and i think they should release the london cast version, if you want camp cheesy songs that are badly edited then buy the album, but after youve seen the show you will realise that the album misses some very important plotlines, and songs dont make as much sense as they do when you see the show,

Oliver!: Original Film Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK]

CD-Charts > Music > Musicals
by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date March 25, 1989
I've always loved the film Oliver! especially singing along with the musical numbers in the film. So recently I purchased the CD soundtrack.

I already love the songs so there's no issue there but the songs are cut from what is heard in the film. This disapointed me which is why i've only given it three stars.

I love this cd; It remembers me my childhood and my teenager years!!

Dreamgirls [Soundtrack]

CD-Charts > Music > Musicals
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 29, 2007
I saw the film and really liked it, so I bought this. Unfortunately, on this version of the CD all of Jennifer Hudson's powerful songs are 'highlight' versions, so not the ones used in the film...The CD isn't bad, but it wasn't what I wanted...I am going to try the deluxe version.

Symphony

CD-Charts > Music > Musicals
by: Sarah Brightman

Release Date April 14, 2008
Possibly Sarah Brightman's best album to date where her Phantom roots are certainly showing on the neo-gothic/classical tracks. And how very welcome they are!

Sarah has a wonderful gift in her pure soprano voice which is surely blessed by the angels.

These tracks will not only delight those who have all her previous works on CD - and I count myself among them - but also a new audience who might be seeking something beyond the bland. Here is mystery, passion, power and purpose wrapped in a symphony of sound topped with a truly beautiful voice at the high end of the soprano range.

Thirteen tracks of sheer magic plus a bonus (Sarahbande) which leaves the Romantic satiated until her next venture into the world of song. ... Read More:

The Lord of the Rings

CD-Charts > Music > Musicals
by: Original London Production

Release Date February 04, 2008
My husband & I saw this show out of curiosity. Neither of us are huge Tolkien fans but found the combination of the video clips on the site & the thought of seeing an actor we both admire (Jerome Pradon) very appealing. We both loved it! The staging is nothing short of magical, the choreography inventive & exciting, the acrobatic skills worthy of Cirque du Soliel, not to mention acting of the highest caliber & music that moves you heart & soul. It's a feast for the eyes & marriage of beauty & darkness that is well captured in this addictive CD. A great show, soon to close, but this CD will evoke the emotions of this wonderful tale told in a magical way. If you can, see the show, but whatever you decide, buy the CD you will not be ...

The Phantom of the Opera

CD-Charts > Music > Musicals
by: Original London Cast Andrew Lloyd Webber

Release Date October 30, 2000
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' ... Read More:

Mary Poppins

CD-Charts > Music > Musicals
by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date February 06, 2006
This CD is great but not top notch there are a few bits of music missing the interview with the music writers is a rare insight to what they do and what can happen.
Most of the songs are here but some aren't but it is still enjoyable CD and the interview is a nice extra there is another Mary Poppins CD out there which has every bit of music on it.
