Advantages: Interesting, beautifull, well written Disadvantages: Bad choice of soloists
The Requiem, written shotly after his fathers death, is the only piece in this genre that Andrew LloydWebber has written. It is a relatively short piece, only 45 minutes long (NOT as the CD discription says, 1h 45min!!), written for chamber orchestra, organ, SATB choir and tenor, soprano and treble soloists. It uses the well known texts of the Requiem mass. I find the music beautifull in a haunting way.
The music os mainly classical, but bears a modern touch, which is refreshing. The music is reasonably easy to sing for a choral singer, which makes it an attractive piece for choirs.
This recording uses a boy choir and the soloist Placido Domingo (tenor), Sarah Brightman (soprano) and Paul Miles-Kingston. To me, the soloist are the weakest part of the recording. Placido Domingos voice is to heavy to manage the fast Hosanna, Sara ...
Advantages: Some no. 1 Hits Disadvantages: You have to be a fan to appreciate
I found this one on the shelf at Woolworths along with all the other stuff that goes for £5 when shops decide to have a clearance.
I actually bought it out of interest to hear what was so bad on it that it was only worth £5 pound. Fortunately I was pleasantly suprised.
Gold has a good collection of hits from his shows. The best ones were
"Memory" from Cats and "Another Suitcase Another Hall" from Evita and Don't Cry for me Argentina.
But there is a good sprinkling of other musicals including The Phantom of the Opera , Superstar, Whistle Down the Wind.
All together there are a good twenty songs in the collection and pleanty of variety. The Cover title is Andrew LloydWebber Gold The definitive Hits Collection.
There is an extremely explanitive cover insert and introuduction which introduces the album as a collection of all 20 of his ...
Advantages: Contains the best of the best by Lloyd Webber Disadvantages: Misses out the last two deccades of his composing
. The book contains songs from the shows Joseph?, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Cats, Song & Dance (Tell me on a Sunday), Requiem, Starlight Express and Phantom of the Opera. LloydWebbers composing stretches over a wide arrange of styles, from the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar, via the pop-style Starlight Express and Song & Dance to the semi-classical Requiem. His earlier works are less through composed and thematic than some of his later shows (ex Aspects of Love, Women in White). This is another reason why the earlier shows suit this anthology better than the later would have done. Publishing just a few songs from a thematic and throguh somposed musical never does the music justice.
The songs are presented with vocal line and piano accompaniments, as well as chords for the less experienced pianist. The layout of the music is big ...
