Details: Product Description SOUNDTRACK/CAST COLLECTION Amazon.ca This polished collection is a chocolate box of everyone's favorite flavors from the Andrew Lloyd Webber songbook, from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to Sunset Boulevard. Apart from Lesley Garrett ("Memory" and Christine's numbers from Phantom of the Opera) and Dave Willetts (for many people a better Phantom, even, than Michael Crawford), there are no other top-rank stars here. But this collection clearly demonstrates why Lloyd Webber has been such a popular and successful contributor to musical theater over the last 30 years. He is at his best with accessible, lush, romantic ballads that give the singer ample free rein to demonstrate resonant vocal prowess. The two-disc compilation format delivers them thick and fast, from "I Don't Know How to Love Him" ( Jesus Christ Superstar) and "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" ( Evita) to "Tell Me on a Sunday" (for many, his best work as a pop composer) and "With One Look" ( Sunset Boulevard). All well sung and certainly a useful introduction for the Lloyd Webber beginner, if there is such a thing any more. --Piers Ford
