My Hat Off For Michael Crawford...

"I decided to get this CD even though I've already owned soundtrack of both "Phantom of the Opera" and "Cats". I first heard Crawford performing in "Phantom of the Opera" and I fell in love with "Music of the Night" instantly.Four of my all-time favorites from Phantom are recorded in this CD: "All I Ask of You", "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again", "Music of the Night", and "Phantom of the Opera". "Phantom of the Opera" is the solo version by Crawford that is not released elsewhere.My favorite picks besides the Phantom ensemble would go to "Only You" and "Memory". After listening to the platters' original version, Michael Crawford adds spice to this timeless classics. "memory" is full of sentiments. I highly recommend this album. My hat off for michael Crawford."
AMAZING!

"This is a fantastic recording! Michael's voice is at it's best. Any Dream and Memory are beautiful. Trust me it is SO worth your money. Michael has the strongest, most entrancing vioce you'll ever hear. He really does have the voice of an angel, and this CD proves it."

"Michael Crawford is truly amazing. I grew up in England and used to watch him every week on the telly where he starred as the bumbling Frank in the comedy series "Some mothers do 'ave 'em". He was thin, scrawny, bumbling, and a real eejit. But oh so funny. (The character, of course.) Then I moved to Canada and heard nothing more about him for years, but then I went back for a visit in the 80's, the time 'Phantom of the Opera' was becoming a big hit and I heard "The music of the night" on the radio, and my mum said it was Michael Crawford singing. Well, I just laughed and said 'Yeah, sure'. But, sure enough it was, and I have never been so flabbergasted in my life. What a complete change of direction. Who could ever have believed that such a voice could ever have been hiding inside Frank Spencer! Maybe there is still hope for Mr Bean."
