Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
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 single disc version showcases all of Phantom's key songs (a deluxe, double-disc edition is also available), with Gerard Butler imparting a welcome, youthful sensuality to his Phantom, making a fine foil for Emily 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's Carlotta. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, but I would recommend the 2-disc version instead, 11 May 2005
The title of this review pretty much sums up my opinion. The music on this CD is undoubtedly brilliant, and I feel that the film version adds an emotional depth to the score and story that wasn't quite so powerfully present in the show version. Michael Crawford was (and is, I suppose) a brilliant singer, but Gerard Butler portrays his character's emotions through his voice and brings the Phantom to life brilliantly- almsot too brilliantly, as I find myself crying every time I listen to this CD. For this reason, I find this version much more enjoyable to listen to than the show version (I admit I own both!) However I would recommend that, if you plan on buying the film soundtrack, you opt fot the 2-disc version over the single disc, as, for only a couple more quid, you get so much more material in the 2-disc edition which brings the depth and range of the score across far more successfully than this one, which is more like a CD of highlights (although in my opinion it leaves out some of the best stuff, for example Wandering Child, which I absolutely adore, and Stranger Than You Dreamt It, which is so amazing, brilliant, emotional and sad that I can't believe they left it out! Both of these only appear on the 2-disc version, which is reason enough to choose it over this one.) Plus, the 2-disc version contains absolutely gorgeous pictures and information in a presentation booklet... :D I would strongly recommend buying the soundtrack- in fact, you're nuts if you don't- but the 2-disc version is, in my opinion, a better, more in-depth listen, and much better value for money when it's only marginally more expensive than the skimpy single disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars 10 Stars, 9 Feb 2005
By N. Srikanaphongse (Jatujak, Bangkok Thailand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Since I bought this CD, I am hardly stop listen to the songs. Especially "Point of No Return", "Down Once More" because these songs had shown the cast dedication to delivered the best performance from their part. Actually, I am a die hard fan of the original cast CD, but I do not have a chance to see the stage peformance. The film had fulfill my need to put the face and action of the story and it brought me a mixed feeling to the end with tears on my face. I do appreciate Mr. Butler for his dedication, I had misjuded his abilities to sing and express his emotion through the mask and off the mask (Who would have thought that he could pulled it off beautifully after watching him in Tomb Raider and Timeline, an action hero, I must say. Sorry about that!!). Right now, I have seen this film 3 times and anxiously waiting for the CD complete version and film companion which I have been order from Amazon to be arrive very soon. I recommended you all to see the film, own the CD. It will grow on you and it worth every penny you pay.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected!, 28 Dec 2004
I love the new film and must say that this C.D is just as spectacular.

I will always love the Origional Cast C.D, but it really is refreshing to listen to a different take on the Phantom, which I think Gerard Butler does wonderfully. His emotional voice and singing brought tears to my eyes, and Emmy Rossum is wonderful as Christine.

The new additions to some songs may not be welcome to everyone's ears but they are few and far between, making the music as enjoyable to listen to as ever. It is also nice to be able to sing along to the less operatic versions of the songs.

If you are a die hard Phantom fan, who feels that ONLY Micheal Crawford can play the Phantom, then I do not think this is the C.D for you. However if you are a new Phantom fan, or someone who simply loved the film then I would absolutely recommend this to you!
