How about 'Jesus Christ Superstar' and 'Cats' for the next instalment. Sarah Chang and Julian Lloyd Webber give fresh and stimulating interpretations, ably supported by the London Orchestra, whose playing under Simon Lee is always attentive to detail, rhythm and colour. I need not emphasize enough the wonderful work of art that Alexander has created a work for violin, cello and orchestra that stirs the imagination and enchants the soul. Alexander's outstanding talents have not only included tunes from the original, but also pieces composed specially for the recent film version of the story.
The symphony orchestra gives the music a depth impossible with a theater orchestra.
The suite from 'Phantom' is the work of Geoffrey Alexander, orchestrator for such hit movies as Notting Hill and Brassed Off. The wonder of this CD is that the two artists are able to use a violin and a cello to sound like vocal duets between Christine and the Phantom - the violin is Christine and the cello, the Phantom. Wilkie Collins' tale of mystery and imagination is tailor made for the stage and this musical adaptation will certainly enhance the fame of this Gothic melodrama.

Lawrence Roman's orchestral suite not only succeeds in conveying the spooky atmosphere of the original show, but also reflects the psychological strength and passionate beauty of the score. Track Listing Phantasia, for violin, cello & orchestra (after Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera) The Woman in White Suite, for orchestra (arr. 'The Woman in White' is Lloyd Webber's latest venture, and if what I have heard is anything to go by, then this new musical will definitely command people's affections in no small degree. The 'Phantom of the Opera will always remain one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's greatest hits, and the beauty of its tunes certainly give it the aura of an opera rather than a stage musical. I feel the cello and violin capture the essence of the characters and, in so doing, tell the complete story of 'The Phantom of the Opera'.
This CD is a joy and a revelation for both its choice of music and its presentation. This CD is a wonderful collaberation between Andrew Lloyd Webber, Julian Lloyd Webber,Sarah Chang and the London Orchestra.
