5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely great, July 22, 1999

This review is from: A Touch of Music in the Night (Audio CD)

This CD is worth buying for 'Papa, Can You Hear Me?' alone! This song simply cannot be sung better! In addition to Mr Crawford's glorious voice, there's the brilliant actor he is that shines through in this rendition. The more you listen to Mr Crawford sing, the more you feel that this man puts his entire self into every song he does - a rare thing, and a thing in which lies what I call true beauty! Listen also to his 'Songs From The Stage And Screen', and you can see what I mean.

Crawford has done it again! This album is perfect for the easy listener fan. I always play 'Stormy Weather' whenever I'm feeling depressed, or, of course, when the weather is awful. Crawford's talent is unsurpassed. I love how he can hit those high notes, not to mention hold them for so long. He is truly talented, and this album should be on EVERYONE'S list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Music of The Night, June 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Touch of Music in the Night (Audio CD)

Perhaps the finest tenor of our century, Michael Crawford shows how adaptable both a favulous voice and a good piece of music. (Did anyone who ever cranked up the original of "Power of Love" on the car stereo ever imagine it quite like this?)

This version of Music of the Night is also my favorite -- listen for minute changes of lyrics compared to the stage version which makes this somewhat a different song, while retaining all the incredible musical beauty of Andrew Lloyd Weber's composition which was the true driving force behind the popularity of the musical. (My favorite change, which is the key to the change in the song's emotional effect, is "DARE YOU TRUST the music of the night?" in place of a seductive statement.)
