Original Film Cast - Phantom Of The Opera (The Complete Original Soundtrack) (CD 2004)

This has to be the best soundtrack CD there is. Loved the film and the cast version album of the musical is just amazing.

I have got to say i was surprised and impressed when i received this cd. All my favourite songs are there and the cast do a brilliant job on this soundtrack. In my opinion it isn't as good as on the stage but still well worth the money. I was shocked to discover non other than Gerard Butler (from the movie 300) is the Phantom!! What a talented guy he is! He does a fantastic job seeing as how he has no training. Very impressed with my cd and would recommend it highly.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of Gaston Leroux's gothic horror/romance novel 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 a hit for me .The presence of a hundred piece orchestra and The London Boys Choir. This double disc version showcases all of Phantom's musical (with Gerard Butler imparting a welcome, youthful sensuality to his Phantom, making a fine foil for Emmy Rossum's ever-conflicted Christine.
This is credit to all involved with the musical.
i loved it.
for years i had it on cassette.
And finally managed to get on CD
Downloaded onto my MP3
peolple might love it or hate it.
I'd love to go and see the stage version. but pennies are a bit low.
yet i can have great pleasure in listening to the CD's

I have always been a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber,so to find an original copy of the "Phantom" was great.I waited ages for it to land on the door mat,through no fault of the sender,I hasten to add.At last it did,I have enjoyed it ever since.Probably to the annoyance of the locals! Although Im far from being teenage,I do believe "good music sounds best loud".

this CD has got all the songs from the film, and plays them in such a way that i get chills down my spine when i listen. and it sounds so haunting and frightening- just like the film.
5 out of 5

possibly the best ever stage show ever made. the film version is spectacular along with the music. possibly the best cd ever made. Cam you tell im a phan.

The 2004 Phantom Of The Opera Film did not fair too well at the box office, despite its lavish production values, although the 2-disc soundtrack was a worth while effort from the cast of the film.

Gerard Butler as the lead has a pretty good voice and tries his best to pull off what other before him had made their own in the theatre.

Gerard Butler and Emily Rossum's version of the title track is very good and sets the standard for the soundtrack.

Recommended for Gerard Butler fans and theatre lovers/Phantom Of The Opera fans only.

Brilliant seller - would use again. fast shipment and no hassle using seller. Thanks A******************

THE VERY WORST SELLER ON EBAY! STOLE MY MONEY AND DIDNT SEND ME THE ITEM! FRAUD!!!! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER! A FAKE CON MAN!!!!

This is an excellent production of the movie soundtrack which follows the film closely. Having heard both the original soundtrack from the stage show, and watched both the show and the film version, I actually prefer this one. I think the only downside for some people would be that there is a certain amount of talking from the actors at the beginning of some of these tracks as it appears in the film. The music is fantastic and has not been altered from the original but enhanced - also there are some extra tracks over the original. I recommend you watch the film first and then if you like it, buy the CD. The actors actually do sing (apart from Minnie Driver, although she does sing one track) and they have excellent voices, dare I say even better than Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford! Buy it and see for yourself.

Great musical, great film, great music, great performances, great cd, go buy it now if you haven't already.

We have seen the show in London and the film and decided that it would be good to have the music on cd. We thought it would be just the songs but is the whole show very good

I bought this cd because I saw the film as soon as it was released, having seen the west end show, and I wanted to listen to the soundtrack in the car. Unlike most soundtracks it includes the dialogue betweent the songs which makes it more interesting to keep up with the story. If you dont want to listen to this just press next track and it goes to the next song. This really is my favourite cd of all time. I love Gerard Butler as the Phantom, what a voice.

i bought this cd as im a great fan of the film i originally bought the original from the stage show this cd is far better as i feel gerard butler puts more feeling into the singing than anyone else has ever done also the girl that plays christine has made the cd the best ever this is a must have if you love the film this cd is the double cd version and has all the music from the film in it i play it all the time couldnt do with out it
