Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: In 1998, a concert celebrated Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's 50th birthday at the Royal Albert Hall. It featured more than two hours of hits from a body of work spanning almost three decades. In this record of a memorable night, star after star steps onto a massive, Eurovision-style set to revisit golden moments in their long association with Britain's most successful composer of musicals. Elaine Paige in big frocks and even bigger voice delivers "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" and "Memory" with her usual power; Michael Ball and Donny Osmond stretch the last vestiges of boyish charm to the very limits but still sound great; and Boyzone get the youth vote. Then there are Kiri te Kanawa, Bonnie Tyler, Tina Arena and of course, another encore for Julian Lloyd Webber and those Variations on the cello. But the stars are Sir Andrew's ex-wife Sarah Brightman in an outstanding selection from The Phantom of the Opera (probably his best work), Antonio Banderos who really can sing, and Glenn Close, a stupendous, moving Norma Desmond in songs from Sunset Boulevard. All in all, a deserved celebration for someone who has given so many people a great deal of pleasure, and a treat for musicals fans of all ages. --Piers Ford Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Well worth itEven if you don't like all the selections on here, if you like Evita, Phantom or Sunset Boulevard, it's worth it. Antonio Banderas is amazing in "Phantom of The Opera". His voice, usually warm and rich is here cold and sinister. It makes an interesting contrast to Gerard Butler's portrayal of a passionate man who, but for his disfigurement, would have been a romantic hero. Banderas, although not in costume or make up, vividly conveys the dark side of the character. Sarah Brightman is, of course, splendid in her performance. In the funeral scene from Evita, Banderas acts his part as well as singing it. This scene is most welcome for anyone who remembers fondly the original staging of Evita, before the messy film and ...

He certainly deserved it, since by that time he was rightly thought of as the most successful musical composer of all times. As it is wide known, he wrote numerous hit shows, including the two longest running musicals in the history of the West End and Broadway, i.e. "Cats" and "The Phantom of the Opera". So the numerous artists who performed his shows and singles were called together and they delivered this stunning concert accompanied by a wonderful symphonic orchestra. Every show up to that date, except "By Jeeves", "The Beautiful Game" and his latest, "The woman in white", was covered, the former ...

The Royal Albert Hall, the Organ the Orchestra - whenever I feel down I listen to this and my spirits are lifted to another World.. Rating: - What a brilliant show.The show was staged to celebrate Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's birthday and a whole host of stars got together in the Royal Albert Hall. It was amazing, you could actually think that you were in the Royal Albert hall watching the show, it has in the show Michael Ball, Sarah Brightman, Boyzone, Elaine Paige, Antonio Banderas and many other stars. The show was spectacular and was a brilliant show which was put together to celebrate Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's Birthday. With the Royal Albert Hall as the backdrop and with scenery and lighting to compliment each star who was performing various songs during the show it really did compliment the way that the staging was set. Rating: - Delightful Show!I had seen portions of this show several years ago on American TV and recently bought the video on the advice of a friend. It was a real pleasure to see many of the performances again, and "discover" performances I missed. Some of the highlights for me: Glenn Close as Norma Desmond -- she was absolutely outstanding! Michael Ball -- his rendition of "Gethsemane" was very powerful, his duet with Sarah Brightman, "All I Ask of You" very romantic, "Vaults of Heaven," a new song to me, was simply beautiful, and his signature song, "Love Changes Everything" was magnificent, especially with the entire cast joining in. For the most part, Sarah Brightman's performances were wonderful. However, I was disappointed in her ... Read More: |
