Stig Rossen was a new name to me until I ran across this CD. Based on the performances on this CD, he goes right to the top of my list of favored Broadway performers which includes Brent Barrett, Michael Ball and Anthony Warlow. He makes these songs his own in a very unique and pleasing way, often making you forget the original performers. Rossen is from Denmark (no accent by the way) and evidently has had a significant career in Europe. I hope we'll hear much more from him. Unfortunately, this is the only CD of his available in the U.S. Very, very highly recommended.

This CD has Broadway songs sung by a great singer. I especially like his rendition of STARS from LES MISERABLES. This song is not on many CD's besides the cast albums of Les Miserables. He is a very good singer. While you may like the original versions better, you won't be sorry if you buy this CD.

I only wish there were more songs from Les Mis. I've seen 6 different Les Mis casts, and Stig Rossen (London cast, June 1997) was the best Jean Valjean I've seen by far. I bought this CD solely based on the fact that I was blown away by his voice when I saw him in Les Mis. You'll love the other songs on this CD just because his voice is so good.

P.S. Don't know why the Amazon description says "by Kalle Magnusson", don't be confused...Stig Rossen sings all of the songs.

This is a superior CD. Mr. Rossen is a gifted singer and delivers each song with perfect expression. This CD is a gem!

This CD is a Gem ...it is a must for everyone who loves beautiful music.The renditions come to life again.."Love Changes Everything" , Beautiful..."This is the moment"....Powerful. This young man has the perfect range and "coloratura" in his voice, his diction is incredible, his own "persona" is in each and every song..."Why God" from miss saigon makes you re-live the drama in this song through Stig,s voice...."all i ask from you" Magical!!!.......to summarize if you are a Michael Ball fan (i am!!) this is as a wonderful venture as all his recordings...Get it ..you wont regret it!!..Stig has a space in my kingdom of outstanding performers..cant wait for his next recording!!!

I took a chance when I bought this CD, and am so glad I did. His voice is so beautiful; so smooth, expressive, powerful, with a tremendous range. The songs were obviously carefully chosen, and he interprets each one so well that they sound brand new. This really is a beautiful album, if you're a fan of Michael Crawford or Michael Ball, add Stig to your list.

Every song on this album is terrific, but his rendition of Gesthemene is really outstanding, better than most others I've heard.
