Review from the Fanatical Cat!!.......2000-10-05

Now, I basically, quite literally, bought this CD for the sole purpose it displayed CATS and nothing more. So I do know I can talk about the CATS portion much more vividly than I could on Evita or the others.... All of the tracks are instrumental, for the record, which is quite a bonus for any theatre lover or CATS lover for that matter since there certainly aren't enough CDS with just the instrumental versions of the song. It starts with Memory, a bittersweet melody that somehow comes out much more lovely than you would expect. It's very nicely programmed for a listener to sing along. Memory is followed by Mr. Mistoffelees which was very much a thrill to me. Of course, I've heard the song a thousand times already but this version turned out to be special beyond words. The liveliness of the song is accentuated to no end in this track, making the whole so much more energized and fun! It's a long track in time-wise, but I found myself surprised and upset that the track ended so soon; you get so absorbed in it. And, in some cases, it is a track better than most. At first listen, in my opinion, to Old Deuteronomy, the track directly after Mr. Mistoffelees, had you not heard of CATS before you would think it was a lovely, soft tune of romantic love or a slow waltz of sorts. However, it's not and so much more once the lyric parts come through instrumentally. The Cats loyalty and endearment of their Jellicle leader comes through loud and clear here. And then, finally, the CATS portion ends with Gus ~ The Theatre Cat. It's a nice rendition but, to tell the truth, this track-section would have ended so much clearer if it had been removed and replaced with the lively, knockabout number of the current Mungojerrie & Rumpleteazer. Buy this tri-CD pack! All CATS fanatics won't regret it!And it is very fair-priced for such an invaluable item to the theatre collector.

Excellent Musician.......2006-10-13

This is one amazing musician. I really wish he had more material and more exposure. I first fell in love with his music when I purchased the "Sleep" CD from the Reflections series. If you have trouble sleeping, the "Sleep" CD is the perfect remedy with the soothing sounds of the ocean and the subtle addition of the keyboard. I found this CD also had a soothing theme to the popular music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. I highly recommend anything from Sandro Mancino if you enjoy music to relax to.

Very Relaxing.......2004-07-10

Excellent renditions of Webber's best compositions. Cannot find more Cd's by this author though. If you know of any, please email me.

Better Anthologies Are Available ..........2006-03-08

Someone bought this anthology for my mom for Christmas a few years ago, and so I insisted on borrowing it. I didn't even listen to the whole thing, I was so disappointed.

If you're looking for a regular anthology, pass by this one. None of the songs sound like they would on the Broadway or West End soundtracks; they are performed like opera, and bad opera at that. Webber's work is written for the musical theatre, not the opera, and singing in musical theatre is completely different than operatic singing; musical theatre involves acting, and this comes through in the vocalization. Operatic performance of songs written for musical theatre simply doesn't work.

The songs, which are written to be expressive and emotional, come across as rigid and boring on this CD. For example, "Too Much In Love To Care" (from "Sunset Boulevard") is supposed to communicate both Betty's idealism and her confusion/fear of real love. None of that comes through in this version - the words are the same, but none of the emotion is there.

It is obvious that some of the singers are not comfortable with the genre in their performances, exemplified by this CD's version of "Take That Look Off Your Face". The singer in this song doesn't seem to know what to do - it's not a musically demanding song, the range is relatively small - and so it sounds like the singer is trying to complicate and "dress up" the song, which doesn't work at all.

Also, there are several intrumental tracks on this CD, which I think were poorly chosen. Most people think of his vocals when they think of Andrew Lloyd Webber, but so much of his instrumentals are brilliant. Why they chose some of his most uninspired passages to represent his instrumental work on this CD is beyond me.

I gave it a 2 because the orchestra on the recording is good, possible the best thing about the CD. But I wouldn't buy it for the orchestra. If you're looking for a good compilation or anthology, try "The Premiere Collection: The Best Of Andrew Lloyd Webber" or "The Very Best Of Andrew Lloyd Webber: The Broadway Collection" for Webber's earlier ("Phantom" and before). Both these anthologies include either the original Broadway or London recordings - there are a few duplicate tracks, but not too many. For more post-Phantom tracks, check out "Gold: The Definitive Hits Collection", which includes tracks up through "Whistle on the Wind", newer recordings of some some songs included on the earlier anthologies, and the 1992 Olympics theme by Webber.

Not too bad.......2004-02-17

I collect ALW and musical stuff, so I've heard a lot of ALW. This is a great CD, and the singers are really talented, but I really wish they had gotten someone else to do the POTO songs. Whoever does the Phantom (Justin White, I think?) did a REALLY BAD job, and the Christine (I think it's Margueritte Krull) isn't too swell, either. They do great on other songs, but it was just plain WRONG. This CD was just cursed when it came to Phantom songs. The Overture wasn't that good, either.

But all the other songs are wonderful. I love Rainbow High from Evita. If you're shopping for ALW and don't care if Phantom was messed up, then go ahead and get this CD.

returned.......2001-07-12

This is not a rare piece. I bought it at Kmart. The singers undoubtedly have great skills but it seems to me they are justing performing for performing's sake. There is little passion in the music.

Good stuff for relaxing and yard work. Not for true Webber lovers.

Great collection of Andrew Lloyd Webber songs.......2000-06-15

This hard to find cd set is the best collection I have seen of classic Webber songs. Great variety from his most popular shows- Phantom, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita etc. I have had this cd set for probably a year and thoroughly enjoy it, so I decided to get it for my dad for Father's Day! Its the perfect addition to his cd collection and he can listen to hours of non-stop Andrew Lloyd Webber as he does yard work! I totally reccomend this cd set for any music theatre geek-like me-or anyone who just enjoys lloyd webber- like my Dad.
