It's perfect to listen to while you drive, or cook, or sew, or draw, or relax in bed. This music is haunting at times, inspiring at times, and always, always beautiful! The violin and cellos weave around each other, telling the story of Christine and her Angel of Music - a story of love, betrayal, and courage. (The second track on the CD is a similar arrangement of music for ALW's "The Woman in White".) There are no separate tracks, it's a single long piece. The first time you listen, you might be confused at the order in which the songs are presented, but you'll get used to it quickly. If you think this CD is identical to the movie soundtrack or the show's cast recording, except without lyrics, think again! It is a unique arrangement, organized in a way to be harmonious for what it is - a violin and cello adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera". well, you will find all of these feelings in here. You often hear that classical music is a form of art that can express human feelings, from fear to love, from anger to joy, from sadness to hope. Really hope to be able to hear it performed live again. ![]() The way the 'songs' are arranged for cello and violin and the way they are linked together is fantastic and the pace is just right, it keeps you hooked for the whole half an hour (or just over), from the dramatic opening (which must be exceptionally difficult to play for both the cellist and the violinist!!) to the bitter-sweet ending.īoth Julian Lloyd Webber and Sarah Chang give a flawless performance here and prove the world class musicians they are. If you are familiar with the musical, you will recognise all the main songs from the musical and you may even find yourself singing along to the music! Whether you are familiar with Phantom of the Opera or not, you will enjoy it. It is a very well written, very enjoyable double concerto for violin, cello and orchestra. This is a CD that is very special to me and I wanted to write something about it, but after reading the previous reviews there isn't much else I can add about this fabulous album, other than, perhaps, you may think this is crossover music. ![]()
