Music reviews of The Phantom of the Opera (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Music Review: Awesome soundtrack
Rating: 5 Stars
A wonderful soundtrack indeed (: I bought this soundtrack with doubt at first, seeing the one star reviews-comparing Emmy Rossum's voice with Sarah Brightman and Gerard Butler's with Michael Crawford. But I think they each have their own wondeful voice in singing the Phantom songs. As a musician myself, I think that the background music sounds wonderful.
I'm in no position to criticise or compare their voices as I'm not a singer and I hope my following perspective wouldn't offend anyone... But I think that Emmy Rossum's voice has a clear, "ringing", youthful voice that somewhat lacks in Sarah Brightman's (maybe it's because of her young age) and that's also why she fits perfectly in the character of the young and innocent Christine Daae.
As for Gerard Butler, I think for a man with no formal musical training for singing, he sings beautifully. Others might think that Michael Crawford's voice is way better but I think that Gerard Butler's voice has what it takes to be the Phantom- strong, emotional, yet dangerous. In my own perspective, I think that his baritone voice suits the Phantom more than Crawford's voice (:
Overall, other than the singing, the songs has dialouges as well. Sometimes you might get irritated by it if you "purely" wanted to enjoy the beautiful songs but when you close your eyes and listen to it, you can just "see" the movie playing in your mind as the songs together with the dialouges play. (: Brava, brava, bravissima~!! :D
Description of The Phantom of the Opera (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
The Phantom of the Opera (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 2 CD Deluxe Collector's Edition, contains all of the music from the single disc plus other original score material featured in the film.For better or worse, Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of Gaston Leroux's gothic horror/romance novel has done for stage musicals what Spielberg's Jaws did for fish stories, with worldwide sales of its original cast album approaching 25 million. While director Joel Schumacher's film turns on his typically ambitious visual verve, its new film soundtrack recording has been paradoxically focused in scope, yet beefed up dynamically via the brawny presence of a hundred piece orchestra and the London Boys Choir. This deluxe, double-disc version showcases all of Phantom's key songs, with Gerard Butler imparting a welcome, youthful sensuality to his Phantom, making a fine foil for Emmy Rossum's ever-conflicted Christine. Original show orchestrator David Cullen has fashioned compelling new contemporary arrangements to frame Webber's songs--which now conclude with the lilting, upbeat new ballad he wrote for the film, "Learn to Be Lonely," sung by Minnie Driver. --Jerry McCulley
