Phantom of the Opera.......2007-04-07

If you are expecting a movie thriller like the old version of "Phantom of the Opera" starring Lon Chaney, you may be disappointed, but if you like classical music and opera, you will find this an excellent DVD. The staging and performers are very professional, and there are some interesting twists, and it is an opera. Consider, though, that it was written by Andrew Lloyd Weber, and that in itself should tell you it will be a great performance.

Simply The Best........2004-11-01

I bought this collection for the Introduction & Allegro cut alone. William Boughton's performance takes what is already a jewel and polishes it to an incredible brilliance and beauty. I own many of the Introduction & Allegro versions done by others, and none of them can hold a candle to this performance. Boughton ruins it for anyone else! This one cut is worth the price for the whole collection, plus you get 4 discs of other Elgar treasures as a bonus! and there isnt a runt in the litter.
