Amazon.com 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 single disc version showcases all of Phantom's key songs (a deluxe, double-disc edition is also available), 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

Phantom of the Opera DVD review February 10, 2010 Liz G. (Raleigh, NC) This is a spectacular movie, brilliantly acted, and the music is phenomenal. I liked the music even better than the London version. The first time I watched this, I watched it in subtitles which made the storyline even more understandable. A beautiful love story, exquisite scenery in every scene, absolutely searingly gorgeous singing, and emotionally gripping! This movie is destined to become one of your favorites in your DVD collection. If you've never seen the play, by all means watch this movie. If you have seen the play, this movie will make you appreciate the beauty of this story even more!
PHANTOM MUSIC IS PERFECT January 10, 2010 Sandy Lowe (Orem, UT) MY HUSBAND AND I LOVE THE MOVIE AND SOUND TRACK. NOW WE CAN LISTEN TO THE MUSIC WHEN WE TRAVEL IN THE CAR.
Awesome soundtrack! December 19, 2009 S. Bertram (Georgia) I love this CD. It's great. It was reasonably priced, new, and arrived in a timely manner. I tried to add a tag to this review, but it wouldn't let me!
Outstanding movie adaptation of the Broadway smash December 15, 2009 Robin Fletcher (Dallas, TX) All the music here is exceptional. Haunting, painful, tragic and at times even hilarious and harmonious (just listen to Minnie Driver's diva momenta), the movie is perfectly cast and the music equal to if not superior to the Broadway cast(s). Sadly, there is one thing missing: NO ONE WOULD LISTEN, a haunting ballad by Gerard Butler that was filmed and recorded for the movie to make the Phantom more human, but mysteriously cut from the film and whose recording is sadly absent from all CD releases, including the two-disk special edition CD. You can find it on [...]. However, we should be able to hear it on this CD. Nevertheless, POTO is highly recommended if you want music that will wake you in the morning, drive you to work, relax you and put you to sleep at home at night, thrill you any time of the day and make you happy to be alive during your worst moments.
Love it! November 18, 2009 Tanya, (CA, USA) I love this CD! It can be a little irritating for my teenagers; "Mom, I can't stand opera music!" Well, their music can be a little irritating for me sometimes too. You can turn the tables on them while you listen to this CD in the car. HaHa! But my 8 year old loves "The Phantom of the Opera" song and sings along with it. She'll say, "Play it again, mom!" She is not totally corrupted yet by the pop culture. Ha! I should have exposed my older kids to music such as this while they were young too.
