Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest musical is both haunting and beautiful. I had been to see The Phantom of The opera in London, it was the best live theatre experience I'd ever had. I came out eager to hear the sequel, so bought the soundtrack. It's a completely different feel to Phantom. The story has moved on and is set in America, and the music style completely reflects this which in my opinion is not a bad thing.
Being a pianist 'Coney Island waltz' was an absolute joy to play. There are a few tricky passages and numerous key changes to challenge the fingers. It really is the perfect piece that encapsulates the excitement and wonder of the Phantom's magical new world.
I love the music of Love Never Dies, pieces like 'Beneath a Moonless Sky' and 'Once upon Another Time' exude romance with their beautiful melodies. You really feel the composer's passion in every note. I did however feel that the accompaniment to quite a few of the songs was too simple and relied too heavily on the melody which is more the singer's job.
I agree with some reviews that say there maybe isn't as rich a sound when certain songs are played on the piano. The left hand in particular could have been a little fleshed out with some more chords and arpeggios.
All in all I would certainly recommend buying this book, especially if you're a singer. The range required to sing the songs is vast and challenging.
The Lord has scored again with 'Love Never Dies'!

I was really looking forward to getting this music. I had been getting lazy with my piano playing so I thought this would get me back and playing again. (I do like the musical)
There are many aspects of this book which are disappointing. May of the pieces do not sound very 'tuneful' when played on the piano. The clashing chords which sound purposeful when played by an orchestra tend to sound like you have made a mistake on the piano! There are no pieces which I really wanted to go back to after sight reading through the book unlike the phantom vocal score which I still enjoy playing after 12 years!
If you like your music with as many flats as possible then 'beneath a moonless sky' in e flat major is the piece for you. I don't think I touched a white key during this piece! Throw in some double flats and it is a challenging piece to sight read!
Some of the left hand parts have been very neglected such as in 'the beauty underneath' where the left hand is given the challenging role of just playing f for 8 crotchets a bar. I have to admit I started improvising the left hand half way through this piece out of boredom!
Also I am sure most of the phantom fan base is female. I have average sized female hands - why are there chords in this music which are too big a stretch for me to play?
On the whole I was surprised at how complicated some of the pieces where to play due to their keys - certainly not an easy version of the music!
Ok song book but nothing particularly memorable or likable from a pianists point of view.

Though I, to some degree, have to admit that for some less experienced players that chords can be difficult to spread, for more experienced players this should be no problem to achieve or they can just work around it. When I cant reach an entire spread chord in one hand, I combine it with the other to give the effect. At the end of the day remember that music is all about how you interperate it and it doesnt need to be played EXACTLY as someone else would play it- can you imagine how boring that would be?
All in all its a fantastic score and is well thought out for pianists. I was a little disappointed with the lack of music included (I would've like some of the interlude parts etc.) but whats included is pretty much every song as originally sang (not the reprises).
I would say that this is a MUST for any budding pianist who needs a change from exam pieces or who need something to enjoy just for themselves.

Spine tingly good - and not *that* hard to play!
Having seen this musical in London some time ago, I was desperate to get hold of the sheet music. I was really worried, however, that it would be too hard for me to play. Read more
