For better or worse, Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of Gaston Leroux's gothic horror/romance novel has done for stage musicals what Spielberg's Jaws did for fish stories, with worldwide sales of its original cast album approaching 25 million. While director Joel Schumacher's film turns on his typically ambitious visual verve, its new film soundtrack recording has been paradoxically focused in scope, yet beefed up dynamically via the brawny presence of a hundred piece orchestra and the London Boys Choir. This deluxe, double-disc version showcases all of Phantom's key songs, with Gerard Butler imparting a welcome, youthful sensuality to his Phantom, making a fine foil for Emmy Rossum's ever-conflicted Christine. Original show orchestrator David Cullen has fashioned compelling new contemporary arrangements to frame Webber's songs--which now conclude with the lilting, upbeat new ballad he wrote for the film, "Learn to Be Lonely," sung by Minnie Driver. --Jerry McCulley

Summary: What I wished I'd known... 2010-05-31
Comment: I love the music of The Phantom of the Opera and purchased both this set and the original cast recording.
The songs and the music are wonderful but I wished I'd known that this delux 2-disc edition includes pretty much the entire dialogue of the movie! It's like hearing the entire movie, which is fine, but if you just want the songs, I think you're better off with the single disc version.
Otherwise, all the performers sing beautifully and it's a joy to listen to.

Comment: I love Gerard Butler. That's why I purchased the cd. But, I would have preferred to have just the songs instead of listening to the whole performance.

Summary: Phantom Audio Review 2010-04-28
Comment: This 2-CD set is a must-have for any Phantom "Phans" out there. It not only includes the most beautiful music ever written, it is almost the movie on audio CD. This one includes everything, the sword fight, Raoul falling into the lake in the lair, everything. The sound (music and all) is unbelievable. A great one for your collection. In my opinion, go ahead and spend the little extra money and get this 2-CD set.

Summary: Definitely 5 Stars! 2009-12-28
Comment: The short and sweet of it is this: If you loved the movie, you'll love the soundtrack! You can almost watch the movie in your head as you listen to this soundtrack. It follows the movie perfectly, and it is splendid in its rendition of Andrew Lloyd Webber's music. Definitely a five star!
