3.0 out of 5 stars It's only OK, April 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

I bought this CD mainly because I love Andrew Lloyd Webber but don't want to spend a lot of money. However, the quality of the songs aren't that great and several are instrumental even though in more expensive versions, there are actually lyrics. This is a good CD to buy if you're just becoming interested in Andrew Lloyd Webber's works, but if you have been a fan for a long time like me, you might be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars I'd rather listen to Jeb play the spoons!, August 18, 2001

This is one of the worst renditions of Webbers' music that I have ever opened my ears to. While no music deserves one star, this collection nears that mark at a lowly three, narrowly missing two, only because the melodies are still in tact. However the resemblance to a Casio's song bank is uncanny, thus making these works hardly worth listening to mush less purchasable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Terrible!, May 23, 2005

This collection of Webber numbers is an absolute disgrace to each and every song presented here. All of the songs sound like they were recorded using an electric keyboard, and most singing numbers have been reduced to purely 'orchestral' affairs. The song that sealed my hatred of this product was their rendition of "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera. This was one of the few numbers that retained the choral parts, but the man they chose for it made my ears bleed, and the song- the formerly lovely duet between the phantom and a soft piano- has been changed into a synthesized, pop-like monstrosity. Skip this collection and buy the original recordings of your favorite Webber musicals; it's well worth the extra money, especially the original cast recording of Phantom of the Opera.
