Oh well, maybe he's writing an Amazon review.

I used a few singers on this album that were one-offs and they're really good.

And the songs are amazing.

What I find interesting, is that for as many productions of The Phantom of the Opera that there have been, there is NOT one French cast recording! It's set at the Paris Opera House, but no actual French production??

Not even French-Canadian?

Nope. There's a Canadian recording, but it's in English:

https://castalbums.org/recordings/The-Phantom-Of-The-Opera-1990-Canadian-Cast/2071/

What's interesting about this recording is that it's the only subsequent version [that I know of] where there's a different cadenza in "Think of Me."

The original movie soundtrack with Emmy Rossum has a variation on the original cadenza, but the cadenza sung by Rebecca Caine on that Canadian cast recording was completely different. I always thought that (like in real operas) each Christine should develop her own cadenza.

Well, you need to STOP going down the damn rabbit holes until AFTER midnight. Do you see what page we are on? It's not page ten.

I will try.

I rarely listen to albums of mine, but one just started playing in Music - Prime Time Musicals, and I must say it's one of my favorites and holds up beautifully - I love the orchestrations and performances and the mix is great.

I love that recording, too!

Just as I went to post the notes, the Internet went down, but thankfully it lasted less than two minutes.

I guess George came by just to tell us he was down a rabbit hole and immediately went right back down. George and the Rabbits - that's the title of my next novel.

I was looking up some information for my post about the Canadian PotO recording.

New notes are up.

bk · « **Reply #290 on:** May 22, 2023, 12:04:08 AM »

Up are new notes.

bk · « **Reply #291 on:** May 22, 2023, 12:04:18 AM »

I've seen them.

bk · « **Reply #292 on:** May 22, 2023, 12:04:25 AM »

I've read them.

bk · « **Reply #293 on:** May 22, 2023, 12:04:31 AM »

I wrote them.

Cool! My name'll be the title of a book!

They have some sad news.

Jason Graae is singing One Day at a Time - one of his best vocals.

I did NOT log out!

George · « **Reply #298 on:** May 22, 2023, 12:05:32 AM »

It just looks that way when you go to another tab, even in the same browser...sounds like a design flaw.

bk · « **Reply #299 on:** May 22, 2023, 12:06:24 AM »

Brad Ellis did most of the orchestrations, with Lanny Meyers doing a couple. I don't think there was anyone else on this one. And Guy Haines is whistling for Mr. Graae.
