I found this in Sweden in 1995, and it remains one of my favorite CDs. Fabulous songs, faithful to the original story, great singing. Buy it! You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eat your heart out, Olivier!, March 21, 1999

Cliff Richard IS Heathcliff. This CD (also a video filmed on the London stage where the musical played for several months) says in song what Emily Bronte wrote 150 years ago. The cast is excellent. Whether Cathy is portrayed by Olivia Newton-John or Helen Hobson, the duets are marvelous. Tim Rice takes his lyrics from much of the novel, and adds his own particular touch. John Farrar's music genius is evident and obviously he knows what suits Olivia and Cliff.You'll get a better understanding of the character of Heathcliff and the nature of the folks in Yorkshire in the early 1800s if you listen closely to the words. You may not end up loving Heathcliff, but you can't help loving Cliff.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best set of songs from Cliff Richard ever., December 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Songs from Heathcliff (Audio CD)

I have been a long time fan of Cliff Richard and this CD is by far the best work he has ever done. Each time I listen to it, the music is trapped in my mind for days. He is Heathcliff, and the songs transport you to the moors of "Wuthering Heights". A number of songs are duets with Olivia Newton-John and she sounds as beautiful as ever. If you're looking for dance music, this is not it! This is music to carry you away to another time, another place. It is one of my all time favorites.
