Music reviews of The Phantom of the Opera (Highlights from the 1989 Original Canadian Cast)
Music Review: Jean Valjean is the Phantom!
Rating: 4 Stars
Colm Wilkinson (Jean Valjean in Les Miserables in the London, Broadway, and 10th Aniversery editions, Che in the concept album of Evita) dawns the white mask for this recording. And it's quite a treat. I feel Mr. Wilkinson combines the vocal discipline of Michael Crawford (the original) with the passion of Gerard Butler (the guy from the movie).
As for the rest of the cast...they're o.k. I think anyone wanting to buy this should do it for Colm Wilkinson or maybe the production's Christine, Rebbeca Caine (who has a wonderful voice but also the common Christine disease of sounding way too old).
If you'd like to hear a new take on a popular character I'd recommend this CD.
Description of The Phantom of the Opera (Highlights from the 1989 Original Canadian Cast)
1990 Polydor release featuring highlights from Andrew Lloyd Webber's epic musical by the Original Canadian Cast, including Colm Wilkinson and Rebecca Caine. Directed by Harold Prince, it features 17 tracks, including 'Think Of Me', 'Notes/ Prima Donna', 'Masquerade' and 'Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again'.A few years after The Phantom of the Opera debuted in London, Harold Prince unveiled Andrew Lloyd Webber's gothic musical in Canada, in 1989. It was so good that this recording of highlights from the Canadian cast is--dare we say it?--more enjoyable than the equivalent London cast highlights album. No, it doesn't have the authenticity of London principals Sarah Brightman (for whom then-husband Lloyd Webber wrote the role of Christine) and Michael Crawford, but it doesn't have their idiosyncrasies, either, and it does have the richer voices of Colm Wilkinson and Rebecca Caine (who played Jean Valjean and older Cosette, respectively, in the 1985 London cast of Les Mis?rables). At 69 minutes, the Canadian album is also 10 minutes longer than the London, allowing inclusion of the prologue and dress rehearsal for Hannibal. Of course, Lloyd Webber's melodies--"Angel of Music," "The Music of the Night," "All I Ask of You," "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again"--are scrumptious on any continent. --David Horiuchi
