The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection

Amazon.com Sarah Brightman's career was launched by her success in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, so it's no surprise to hear the soprano paying homage to the composer on this disc. Really a Brightman best-of, the album includes the Phantom theme (a duet with Michael Crawford), the light-opera fare of "Chanson D'enfance" from Aspects of Love, "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" from Evita, and numerous other Lloyd Webber classics. Throughout, Brightman's diminutive voice lends a fragility to these musical theater tunes that you'll either love or despise. On Evita's "Another Suitcase, Another Hall" and Cats' "Memory," she literally chirps through the vocal lines. No matter. The growing legion of Brightman fans wouldn't have it any other way. --Jason Verlinde Product Description The music everyone loves to hear Sarah sing, timed to coincide with her new PBS Special and national tour! Now, for the 1st time, Universal Classics releases an album of definitive performances by the woman most closely associated with musical theatre's premier composer. This collection, filled with 16 hits from Andrew Lloyd Webber's most popular musicals, includes "Memory" (Cats), "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" (Evita), "The Music Of The Night" (Phantom Of The Opera) and more.
