Brand New CD

Phantom Of The Opera - The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

The movie soundtrack represents the first major re-recording of the Phantom of the Opera score since 1986. Again, Lloyd Webber has opted to issue it in two versions, but this time, the 63-minute single CD is considered the standard release, with the double-disc set billed as the Special Edition version. Lloyd Webber has written some extra background music here and there, as well as one new song, and that's an oddity, too. Minnie Driver, who plays the prima donna Carlotta, had her singing dubbed by Margaret Preece, but she turns up at the end and, over the closing credits, sings "Learn to Be Lonely," a song clearly composed just to have a new tune that would be Academy Award eligible. ~ William Ruhlmann
