Superb music...tricky box October 7, 2008

This is a wonderfully varied, superbly sung, reasonably ordered 3 disc compilation of Webber's life's work. The versions are beautiful, there's the `classics' : Sarah Brightman, Jason Donovan etc. But this really does span all the avenues for his creations; Emmy Rossum's version of `Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again' is included from the film version of Phantom and Madonna's `You Must Love Me' from the Evita film. There are also some of the most recent stage versions; Lee Mead and Connie Fisher are both featured, from the popular Any Dream Will Do and How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? Although Connie sings `Make Up My Heart' from Starlight Express. I also very much enjoyed Elvis Presley being included and some other lesser known ones (at least to me).
br /
br /The third disc is my least favourite, only a couple of the songs really stood out, the first two are by far the better, being lest varied but more memorable, featured heavily are: Starlight Express, Tell Me On A Sunday, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Phantom of the Opera, Whistle Down the Wind and Cats. As these are my favourites I didn't mind, though some of the repititions of tracks but by different performers was hard to justify - why for example include Barbra Streisand's version of 'Memory' when Elaine Paige singing the song is on the first disc and it eclipses Streisand version.
br /
br /I think the first two discs are more successful because more thought seems to have gone into the ordering of the tracks; disc one for instance has many title tracks like `The Phantom of the Opera', `Superstar', `Whistle Down the Wind' and the songs that you associate with specific musicals, the ones that really stand alone and can be taken out of context, like `Memory' and `Love changes Everything'. Disc two contrasts by being a lot more melancholic, thematically the songs deal with loss and are highly reflective, Elvis Presley's `Its Easy for You' and `Close Every Door' do this very well. Also the tracks here have a Rock and Roll sound to them, Anastacia's version of `Superstar' fits in well, the high points for me are `One Rock `n' Roll too many' and `A Kiss is a Terrible Thing to Waste' the latter being the Metal Philharmonic Orchestra version. Conversely disc three is a bit of a miss match of songs, personally I hate the first track and I dislike some of the versions, but there are high points: `Pie Jesu', `The Music of the Night' and `Make up my Heart'. Most of the tracks on this disc are meditative and slow, except for Alice Cooper's bizarre version of `King Herod's Song'.
br /
br /I mentioned the case, it is pretty tricky to remove the individual CD's which are cramped in tight.
br /
br /Still I very much recommend, it's not perfect but very enjoyable and you get a lot for your money, this may even be better then `Music of the Night' another great musical and film complication double disc that I treasure. But do make sure you look carefully at the contents of the three discs as personal taste may dictate whether you think it's worth buying.
br /
br /P.S After long periods of banging and muttering my outer case allows for much easier removal of the CDs.
br /
br /P.S.S The more I listen to this the more I love it.

This CD set introduced me to many of ALW's compositions that I had not realized were his, and to many singers I did not know had recorded his work (such as Elvis Presley!). I have enjoyed listening to this over several days.
Not much else to say... February 9, 2009

Excellent compilation, just great ALW'S stuff. If you're not a fan but know at least a couple of these songs, you won't be dissapointed.
A 'must-have' for all Lloyd Webber fans August 27, 2009
Mrs. C. Craghill (G.B)
Great compilation. All the tunes you know and love seem to be on it. Great value.
 A gift - they were v pleased. February 4, 2009

Not for me, for a friend who was very pleased. All the hits were there.
