Movie Reviews of Andrew Lloyd Webber - The Royal Albert Hall CelebrationMovie Review: A WONDERFUL CONCERT WITH THE BEST MUSICAL SONGS Summary: 5 Stars
The opening song WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND is sung by Tina Arena. The music and the way Tina performs the song is very powerful. She has a great voice but she sings it too aggressively, I better like the way Lottie Mayor sings it, at the end of the concert. Donny Osmond sings ANY DREAM WILL DO and CLOSE EVERY DOOR together with a children choir. Donny has a great charisma and voice. It sounds fantastic with the children. Julian Lloyd Webber plays cello - the music from VARIATIONS (a symphonic concert from 1977). Antonio Banderas: HIGH FLYING ADORED. Elaine Paige: DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA. She sings it as beautiful as 20 years ago, when she had the leading role as Evita. Dennis O'Neill sings in Latin the song HOSANNA from Requiem. There is a girl in the choir, she looks like Charlotte Church? Sarah Brightman appears like a magic woman, and the dancers fall to the floor. Sarah sings in Latin and the young boy Ben De'ath comes to the stage. They sing PIE JESU together - a very beautiful and moving church mess song. Sarah's voice is incredible beautiful. Michael Ball: I ONLY WANT TO SAY (GESTHEMANE) from Jesus Christ Superstar. A very vigorous song. At THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, when Sarah Brightman enters the stage I get chills because of her beauty and presence. She is the most wonderful person, with a warm-heartedness charisma. She definitely has the best and most beautiful voice in the world. She and Antonio Banderas sing THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA together. It's 10 years ago, when Sarah played Christine in the Phantom. Michael Ball and Sarah sing the beautiful duet ALL I ASK OF YOU. They suit each other well. Michael Ball has a great charisma. THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT, Sarah sings it as beautiful as ever. Boyzone: NO MATTER WHAT - the best sound on this DVD. Michael Ball: VAULTS OF HEAVEN together with a gospel choir - it sounds fantastic. Glenn Close plays Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard and sings WITH ONE LOOK. Michael Ball sings the great song LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING and all the artists from the concert appear, singing together. Elaine Paige sings MEMORY from Cats. Kiri Te Kanawa sings the very beautiful song THE HEART IS SLOW TO LEARN. Kiri has a beautiful soprano voice. It could be great to hear Kiri and Sarah together in a duet. All the artists sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Andrew. At the final song, Andrew plays the piano while Lottie Mayor sings the beautiful song WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND. Andrew Lloyd Webber must be the greatest composer of all time. This DVD is fantastic, whether your are a fan of Andrew, Sarah Brightman, Michael Ball, Elaine Paige or you just love great musical music. The picture and the sound are excellent on this DVD.
