DVD Reviews of Andrew Lloyd Webber - Masterpiece (Live in Beijing)
DVD Review: Andrew Lloyd Webber Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic DVD of Andrew Lloyd Webber's music. A lot of stars singing their special songs. If you like ALW, this is a must have.DVD Review: amazing
Summary: 4 Stars
Great product, was shipped very fast to the house got it in like 2 days. In really good shape and gave it to my mom for mothers day. ThanksDVD Review: Webber in Beijing
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this DVD, it has songs from Andrew LLoyd Webbers Musicals. The selection was slightly different from the norm, but that was good, because almost all the songs were my favorites. The British company sang very well. I thought the Chinese female singer needed to project her voice a bit more. I find Chinese who sing Western operas, are not able to project their voices while singing. I loved the DVD, and have watched it several times since receiving the DVD about two months ago. Elaine Paige sang quite a few arias,she was in good singing form. I rated this DVD with five stars, would have given more stars if they were available. DVD Review: An Excellent Performance video
Summary: 4 Stars
This is indeed an Excellent performance video of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The best thing i liked about this video is that almost all orchestra is chineese. A good collectors video.
DVD Review: unknown territory
Summary: 4 Stars
Surely, this concert is a big advance into unknown territory China of millions of funs greeted their favourite personally was.
A very practical approach to present the most of hits live on stage as a set Andrew Lloyd Webber Broadway Favorites Collection (Cats / Jesus Christ Superstar / Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat / The Royal Albert Hall Celebration) is really more exiting.
Description of Andrew Lloyd Webber - Masterpiece (Live in Beijing)
For the first time in China, The Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber is presented in concert as a world-class showcase incorporating the best-known and best-loved songs from Lloyd Webber's internationally acclaimed stage musicals, including The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Sunset Boulevard. This is a hit-driven production, a spectacular event starring Elaine Paige, one of the most established and highly regarded West End and Broadway stars, direct from a year-long sell-out season in the London production of The King and I, and recording sensations Coco Lee and Kris Phillips (Fei Xiang), amongst the most successful artists of their generations. For China Concert Tour 2001, this world-class lineup will be joined by a full company of established performers drawn from the U.K., U.S., and Australia and a 60-piece orchestra led by the renowned Patrick Vacciarello, who has conducted musicals for Lloyd Webber on Broadway and on national tours in the U.S. and Australia.Tracks: Superstar Overture, Superstar, I Don't Know How to Love Him, Any Dream Will Do, Evita Suite, Buenos Aires, And the Money Kept Rolling In, Don't Cry for Me Argentina, The Heart Is Slow to Learn, Beautiful Game Overture, Let Us Love in Peace, Take That Look Off Your Face, Jellicle Ball, Acidity, Gethsemane, Aspects of Aspects, Love Changes Everything, Pie Jesus, Phantom Overture, Phantom of the Opera Journey, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, All I Ask of You, Masquerade, The Music of the Night, Car Chase, Sunset Boulevard, The Perfect Year, As if We Never Said Goodbye, Memory, Friends for Life, No Matter What.
Elaine Paige headlines the international cast of Masterpiece: The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, a September 2001 concert in Beijing. Paige sings songs from her roles in Lloyd Webber's musicals Evita, Cats, and Sunset Boulevard, while Kris Phillips, Sandy Lam, Tony Vincent, and others provide solid but rarely thrilling renditions of tunes from such shows as Jesus Christ Superstar and Phantom of the Opera. There are also orchestral numbers and some dances, but not much staging or costumes--whether performing "Macavity" or "Masquerade," the dance team members look like refugees from Sweet Charity.
The obvious comparison is with Andrew Lloyd Webber: A Royal Albert Hall Celebration. Filmed three years later, Masterpiece includes more from The Beautiful Game and it's a technically superior DVD with DTS sound and an anamorphic widescreen picture. Royal Albert Hall, however, has bigger stars and better performances overall. But both run over two hours and have plenty of variety, so Lloyd Webber fans don't necessarily need to pick one over the other. --David Horiuchi
