"This is an incredible CD. I simply cannot express how much I adore it. All of the music is beautiful, and the arrangements are wonderful. Seven of the songs (Music of the Night, On the Street Where You Live, Bring Him Home, Maria, If Ever I Would Leave You, Oh What a Beautiful Mornin' and All the Things You Are) feature the amazing vocals of the Tony Award-winning Michael Maguire, the original Enjolras on Broadway in Les Misérables. His voice is beautiful, strong and absolutely mesmerizing! Maria and Bring Him Home are the best pieces on here, but every single one is great. The best orchestral pieces are Sun and Moon and Strange Music. This is a must-have for Maguire fans and I strongly recommend it for any musical lover."
Maguire is Fabulous-- And So Is This CD

"It seems like every Broadway star has a CD these days: Elaine Paige, Ron Bohmer, and Colm Wilkinson to name a few. Now Michael Maguire has lent his voice to seven of the tracks on this CD. How's anybody supposed to decide what to buy?Buy this CD! Maguire is superb on this recording. His Music of the Night is superior to that of many Phantoms. He does some interesting things with Bring Him Home like using changing one note to two in several places. The effect is beautiful. Maria and On The Street Where You Live are. very good. Maguire affects a realistic accent for Oh What A Beautiful Morin' and proves he can hit high notes with All The Things You Are. And I've saved the best for last. If Ever I Would Leave You can only be described as a tour de force. Maguire is magnetic and, for lack of a better word, sexy. It makes you wonder why he never played Lancelot on stage."
Dreamy fan

"Exquisite...a "must have" for your collection. The intro to "All the Things You Are" is worth the price, and that's a tiny part of this CD! Michael, more recordings, please. You're the greatest. :-)"
Great Combination

"The combination of Broadway songs and the strength of Michael Maguires voice make this CD pure heaven. I highly recommend this CD as a Broadway music lover and a fan of Michael Maguire. Michael if you are out there and reading this, we need to hear more from you."
A nice little collection of songs... $19 is a bit steep thou

"Let me just first say that I am a huge Michael Maguire fan. I've loved him since I first saw him in the 'Les Miz in Concert' DVD, I think he's a fantastic singer and a wonderful, charismatic performer.
I'm not a huge fan of this cd though, mainly because he only sings 7 of the 16 tracks, and the some of the songs didn't showcase his talent. His 'Music of The Night' and 'Bring Him Home' were both wonderful though. Even though it's not an extraordinary memorable cd I would still recommend it to any Michael fan.
