5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Stunning, June 5, 2004

By 

Andrew Billows (Adelaide, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Paris (Audio CD)

This musical was recorded way back in 1990 and it is only now that it may get the worldwide attention it deserves. This is the story of Paris and Helen of Troy which of course is now very topical. The recording features the best from around the world and Australia. It is simplt stunning! If Jon English' name was Andrew Lloyd Webber, this would have benn playing to packed houses around the world for the last 15 years. Don't hesitate on this...buy it and impress your friends with a sensational buy!!!

My brother brought the cassettes when they first came out years ago, over time they were lost or eaten by various tape players. I have spent years looking for a copy, cause my whole family loves it. Now HOORAY!!!!! I FOUND IT!!!!!!! I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW HAPPY I WAS WHEN I FOUND IT.

This review is from: Paris (Audio CD)

I found this album while searching for music by Philip Quast. I've studied theatre, and I'm a fan of some more "obscure" musicals, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a musical based on the Trojan war.

The music is excellent, and the cast is/was more than up to singing it. I would love to see it on stage.
