This review is from: The Premiere Collection: The Best Of Andrew Lloyd Webber (Original Cast Compilation) (Audio CD)

This CD is wonderful for the Broadway buff or the casual listener who wants something different to listen to in the car. As it has been said before, this is the CD to get if you're looking for one Andrew Lloyd Webber compilation CDs - don't be fooled by the cheaper counterparts - or you'll see exactly WHY they earned that price tag. This CD has the original recordings, but the only drawback of this CD is that it is rather out of date (1987) and you miss out on some great material from his later works ("Aspects of Love", "Sunset Boulevard"). There is a follow-up CD to this one aptly called "The Premiere Collection Encore" which picks up where this one left off; I recommend that as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Andrew Lloyd Webber CD, April 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Premiere Collection: The Best Of Andrew Lloyd Webber (Original Cast Compilation) (Audio CD)

This is the Best Andrew Lloyd Webber CD, I ever have.. First, the songs from Phantom Opera are richly and passionately romantic. And who can forget one of the most memorable song of the time, Memory? The rest of album are also excellent.

To my suprise I became fan of the music. Webber's brilliant music sung by great vocalists like Crawford, Harley, Yvonne, Webb, Richard, and Brightman is an absolute treat. Brightman and Richard's, "All I ask from you" is as good as any duet gets. I am not a broadway fan, and I find the whole scene "weird", but this CD is really good.
