Editorial Review: Album Details: The Canadian Cast Recording of the Popular Andrew Lloyd Webber Musical features the Talents of TV'S First Black Leading Lady Diahann Carroll in the Starring Role as Nora Desmond. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A GemHaving seen "SB" onstage 4 times, twice with Betty Buckley in London, once with Glenn Close in NY, and once with Petula Clark in London, I certainly qualify as a fan of the show and the score. I have also heard the Patti LuPone and Diahann Carroll cast albums. I am prepared to say that Ms. Carroll and Ms. Buckley are the best Normas I have heard. Sadly, Buckley only recorded the songs on a limited issue CD. Both of those ladies steer a course between mannered overacting combined with undersinging ... Read More Rating:  - THE `MIDDLE' RECORDINGSunset 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, 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.

We had front row seats and immensely enjoyed the musical. I was amazing to see and hear Rex Smith in person. The orchestrations were beautiful! I was lucky to have recently purchased the CD. I was absolutely blown away! The music quality is superb and the voices are crystal clear. I also enjoy the London cast album, but Rex Smith makes this ... Read More Rating: - Quite fantasticI purchased this version of the musical because it WASN'T the Patti Lupone or Glenn Close cast. . . and boy, am I glad I bought it. Rex Smith's fantastic voice and perfectly cynical delivery are a pleasure. His is the best rendition of "Sunset Boulevard" that I have heard yet. Diahann Carroll seems an odd choice, not so much because of her voice, but really because of who starred in silent movies back in the day. But since this is theater and not real life, it's really an inspired choice. ... Read More Rating: - The Greatest CD of AllI feel that if you looking for somthing that is one of Andrew Loyd Webbers finest productions then you have come to the right place. This show has spectacular music and just mezmorizing words. This music has become a favorite among many of Webbers fans. This musical being on the heavier side as in the subject matter I feel that this is done well in that it keeps you going even up to the end. The quality of the sound is just wonderful and the people who perform it are just memorable. I will say that since ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
