Music reviews of Bring Him Home
Music Review: Boe's voice gives new resonance and appeal to some standard musical favorites
Rating: 5 Stars
I first heard Boe in his incredible performance as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables: The 25th Anniversary Concert . I'd urge any fans of his and/or the musical to get that DVD as well, especially since the original 1985 cast comes together at the end and Boe sings another rendition of "Bring Him Home" which is well worth hearing and a rare opportunity to experience three "Jean Valjeans" sing together.
But on to the current CD: I confess that I can't get enough of Boe's voice, even in some songs that might not be among my favorites. But as Boe interprets them, they become new again and I find myself impressed by his rendition of songs which include "If I Ruled the World" and "On the Street Where You Live." These two songs can - and have- been sung in ways that tip them over into pure camp and sentimentality but Boe is adept enough to make them memorable and finely balanced emotionally. Most of the tunes are musical classics, including "Some Enchanted Evening" and "The Impossible Dream."
It can be difficult to describe anyone's voice during a review but you can certainly play samples of some of the songs. I find Boe to have a very lush, muli-layered voice which has depth but also carries high notes well. His "Bring Him Home" is a definitive version for me now. For those unfamiliar with Alfie Boe, he comes from a very modest background, one of 9 children who was as eager to play football as listen to classical music.
Listeners lucky enough to own any of his DVDs have the opportunity to hear one of the superb tenor voices out there.
Description of Bring Him Home
On Bring Him Home Alfie delivers a wonderful selection of many of the greatest of all show tunes, from such Rodgers & Hammerstein evergreens as Some Enchanted Evening and If I Loved You through to more recent winners from Sunset Boulevard, Moulin Rouge and, of course, Les Miserables. The tenor is joined by a couple of distinctive voices for two mesmerising duets: West End star Kerry Ellis for a powerful performance of Come What May and none other than comedian Matt Lucas in the first duet version of The Impossible Dream. With Alfie Boe's ringing tenor voice, the magic of the musical has never sounded more enchanting.Classic Rock CDs
