Lloyd Webber has written some extra background music here and there, as well as one new song, and that's an oddity, too. This, of course, makes it something of an odd listening experience, especially because there doesn't seem to be any reason why some dialogue is spoken and some is rendered in singsong recitative. The two-hour special edition is that rarity, a soundtrack album that actually contains the complete, unedited film soundtrack, including dialogue, incidental background music, and sound effects. Even fans of the show and the film may want to stick with the shorter one, however. Again, Lloyd Webber has opted to issue it in two versions, but this time, the 63-minute single CD is considered the standard release, with the double-disc set billed as the Special Edition version.
Although there was also an original Canadian cast album (not to mention foreign-language versions from such countries as Japan and Austria), the movie soundtrack represents the first major re-recording of the score since 1986. alone by 1996, with another four million copies of a single-disc highlights version as well. In line with the success of the show, that album, a double-disc set, was also a hit, selling four million copies in the U.S. Because the same starring performers, Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman, moved from the West End to Broadway, there was no original Broadway cast recording, the original London cast album serving to represent both stagings. The musical opened in London in October 1986 and in New York in January 1988, and both productions were still running (along with many others around the world) when the film version finally premiered in December 2004. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical adaptation of Gaston Leroux's 1911 gothic mystery novel The Phantom of the Opera proved to be at least the composer's second most successful project, behind only Cats, and with the potential to outdo even that blockbuster. The audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded.
The online audio tracks contain professionally-produced sound-alike audio tracks for performance for 8 songs from the cast recording, including: All I Ask of You The Phantom of the Opera Music Minus One VocalĪll that's missing are your vocals! The music in this book includes the lyrics, vocal lines, and piano accompaniments for eight favorites from this legendary musical classic by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
