    astounding, 2010-03-09 I saw this at the Adelphi last night (8/3/10), 3 years to the day since my first ever viewing of Phantom of the Opera. As a sequel, I was half excited, half-worried, as I didn't want the magic of the original to be ruined, but Lloyd-Webber has done an amazing job. The music is spectacular, and the ending is truly beautiful. Christine's voice in this is a little shrill for my liking, but Ramin Karimloo as the phantom gives a truly stunning vocal.
I will say though, don't buy if you're planning on seeing she show and don't want spoilers: the lyrics spell it all out. Wait until you've seen it.
Best tracks: Till I Hear You Sing, Beneath a Moonless Sky, The Beauty Underneath, Devil Take the Hindmost

    Phantamastogical, 2010-03-08 Love Never Dies aka Phantom of the Opera 2 is now out and having pre ordered it in october last year,i eagerly awaited the release of the latest offering from Andrew Lloyd Webber.
And since it arrived this morning i have not stopped listening each and every track is a gem and the music proves Andrew can still write the best musicals around.
Ramin Karimloo as the Phantom is vocally outstanding as is Sierra Boggess as Christine, the score and lyrics are equally as good as Phantom of the opera.
Also featured on the CD is Summer Strallen as Meg Giry and fellow reality tv show star Niamh Perry in a minor role. For musical lovers anywhere this is a must.

Artist:
Ludovico Einaudi
    a worthy successor, 2009-12-30 I really love divenire and wasn't sure what this would be like. Went to see the concert at Machester RNCM and was absolutely entralled. Ordering the CD was a must afterwards and I now listen to the album frequently in the car and on my ipod. It's a worthy successor to divenire and a wonderful blend of tracitional instruments and more modern sound techniques. The different tracks give a good contrast between light and shade. The crane song track is almost painfully beautiful in my opinion. I thoroughly recommend this album and going to see it performed if you get the chance - and no, I'm not related in any way to Einaudi

    Forever Vienna, 2010-03-09 A CD & DVD in this boxed set and is excellent value for money. The concert shown on the DVD is marvellous, the audience and also the orchestra show their enjoyment.
My wife and I were both entranced and have seen the disc several times already.

    Songs for...everyone, 2010-03-06
Another great 2CD Classic FM compilation of classical hits from a wide range of singers, including the established favourites such as Blake, Katherine Jenkins, Hayley Westenra, Aled Jones, Lesley Garrett, All Angels, Bryn Terfel, Elin Manahan-Thomas and Alfie Boe.
Also included are some of the more recently discovered talents such as Camilla Kerslake and Faryl Smith, along with the legendary names like Pavarotti and Domingo, and to complete the all star line up there are a few truly world class opera singers, Cecilia Bartoli, Renee Fleming and Rolando Villazon.
The song choices are nicely varied and will be recognised by most people, not just listeners of Classic FM radio, and while I'm not quite sure how the link is made between this selection and mothers, I guess the album release date is a giveaway - two weeks before Mothering Sunday 2010!
A great compilation of music by quality artists.

    It's Beautiful, 2010-02-15 These poems are beautifully spoken, are very relaxing and soothing. It is hard to choose a favourite but it would have to be 'Rock Me To Sleep' - it is so emotional which is not only a tribute to the words but also to Alison Steadman's delivery. Since I purchased this CD four of my friends have bought it too.

Rolando Villazon
    A compilation for Everyone!, 2010-02-19 I have almost all of Rolando's Cds and DVDS and I have been waiting for this Cd ever since I knew of it's inception and I am delighted with it. Firstly of course to know that Rolando is singing as beautifully as ever and secondly because he has included three songs from musicals sung in English as well as the well loved classics. This is an album for everyone who loves beautiful music whether a died in the wool opera lover or someone who just enjoys beautiful singing, and who better than Rolando to demonstrate the varied colours and emotions required by the diversity of choice on this album. It has been played repeatedly since I received it, and each time I hear something I have missed before....buy it! You will definitely enjoy it!
