5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable - makes me want to see the play again, April 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Les Miserables: Vocal / Piano Selections (Paperback)

I purchased this edition recently at a local music store and have enjoyed it very much. The level of difficulty is great enough to sound very much like the original yet simple enough to be performed by a moderately advanced pianist. Castle on a Cloud, Bring Him Home, and On My Own are especially nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Les Miserables Piano/Vocal, June 18, 2001

By 

Theresa (suburbs of Philly, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Les Miserables: Vocal / Piano Selections (Paperback)

This book is great book for all those singers and piano players out there who have fallen in love with Les Mis. I first heard the Les Mis songs through playing them with my high school concert band and after that I bought the piano book so I could play the songs on the piano. I just played 5 of the songs in the book in a medley at my piano recital and I believe it was very enjoyable for everyone there since most were familiar with the music. I highly recommend this book because the piano music is not too difficult to play and the voice ranges for singers are good especially if you're an alto like me. Les Mis definitely has some of the greatest and most beautiful songs ever written!

I highly recommend this book for singers. The songs are very "singable" and there is something for all vocal ranges, men and women. This book is a essential for your music collection!
