Phantom Vocal Selections (Piano) [Paperback] Review

I have seen the Lloyd Webber version two times and the Yeston version four.There is no way that the Lloyd Webber version can match up to the Yeston version.In this book you learn more about the character of Erik,he has a sense of humor, an aching heart, and a love for Christine.Youlearn how he met Christine, who his parents are and why he loves Christine. The Lloyd Webber version is spectacular and I will always love it, but itis very vaugue, and for those who wish to know Erik (the Phantom) this is avery good book to read.

Phantom of the Opera (Easy Piano) [Paperback] Review

By all means, buy this book if these are the songs you want.
However, there is an alternative sheet music collection you should consider if you would like to have songs from some of his other shows. That book is called THE ESSENTIAL ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER COLLECTION (ISBN 0634001604). You can check it out right here at Amazon.com.
That book is a little more expensive but it contains MOST of these "Phantom" songs (except "Masquerade," "Angel of Music" and "Prima Donna") in addition to the key selections from:
"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat"
"Jesus Christ Superstar"
"Evita"
"Starlight Express"
"Cats"
"Aspects of Love"
"Sunset Boulevard"
The book you are looking at now is a great collection of songs from "Phantom." If you want/need to have "Masquerade," "Angel of Music" and/or "Prima Donna" then you'll have to get this book. If you don't want songs from those other shows then this "Phantom" book is right for you.
If you're anything like me, you'll go for the bigger book and get more bang for your buck.
Either way, you're sure to get hours of enjoyment singing along with the cast recording(s) or with piano accompaniment. Having the sheet music is very helpful in terms of learning the song. Also, my ability to sight read is improving.
Happy singing!
