If you're just discovering Phantom this is an excellent introduction to it, the songs are all phantastic of course. The only thing I would say though, if this is the only Phantom CD you plan on buying, it has the alternate music of the night version, not the one that features in the musical. While excellent in itself, the other one is far superior.
I would recommend people to buy the complete recording rather than this. Not only does it have the better Music of the Night, it's only a few pounds more on Amazon and you can really appreciate the amazing achievement that is Phantom, it's the next best thing to being there. The highlights are great musically but it could be a bit difficult if you want to follow the story as there is a lot missing.
It still get's 5 stars though - it is Phantom after all...

Hear the original London cast in all their tuneful glory! I now have both this version and the 2004 film version, and I have to say that the latter does not compare at all. Listening to Crawford and Brightman, who can *really* sing, makes me break out in a grin and shiver of glee each and every time. For those of you that have been lucky enough to see the musical on stage, this CD will bring all those wonderful memories back.
This CD contains all the main themes and songs from the musical, and is perfect for those who don't know the story off by heart. The complete recording is great for people who know the lyrics and plot, but for those without a copy of the libretto the half speaking-half singing between the main songs may be confusing. Your choice will depend on whether you want to relive the Phantom experience in full, or simply listen to those particular songs you remember.
Either way, nobody should be without a copy of the original London cast recording of Phantom of the Opera. The music is pure genius, Andrew Lloyd Webber at his best. Filled with emotion and perfectly matched to the story of the Phantom.

Absolutely fantastic! This CD has all the best parts of a truly brilliant show! The music, the singing everything! is magical and will bring you back to the first time you saw the Phantom - if you haven't already seen it you will be rushing out to buy the tickets!

A con
Every track on this CD is run together as one very long track so if you want to hear a particular song you have to skim through every song before it. Rubbish
