 Rating: - AN EXCEPTIONAL HIGHLIGHTS ALBUM OF LLOYD WEBBER'S MASTERPIECESunset Boulevard is certainly one of the best scores Andrew Lloyd Webber has ever written. The composer admitted that it was his wish for a long time to make a musical based on the 1950 classic movie directed by Billy Wilder. After the successful 1991 revival of Joseph and the amazing Technicolor dreamcoat, Lloyd Webber began working on Sunset together with Don Black, his long-time lyricist on "Tell me on a Sunday" and "Aspects of love" and Trevor Nunn as a director.

This recording is - for want of a better word 'AWESOME' - A product superior in many ways to its English counterparts. The magnificent HELEN SCHNEIDER brings even more shadings and Great Originality to tortured Norma Desmond. She seduces, comforts, entices, destroys and haunts you with her voice - would that we could have a video recording of this show! Now that would be quite something for the collector.

Helen Schnieder, Germany's original Norma Desmond, shines throughout this exceptional recording, displaying emotion and talent. During translation, attention was paid to making the show even sharper and the lines wittier. This gives Uwe Kröger enormous scope to give a fine performance as Joe Gillis, and he delivers this with style. Highlights album. Browse for similar items by category:
