Kind of have wonder if he put this much thought into his PlaySchool songs
Truly a Masterclass given by the best there is. Even if you don’t act or sing, there are a ton of takeaways that you can apply to life as a whole.
He’s exceptionally excellent 👌👌👌
Phillip Quast is my favorite Javert . His voice is so powerful and awesome.
The only, and I mean ONLY, thing that would improve this would be if he wore his muttonchops from the 10th Anni concert.
Have watched this numerous times and still marvel at it. Quast is A thinking man who understands the need to ask WHY things are how they are and applies it to understanding why he does everything he does. So analytical and insightful, yet so profoundly soulful. A good mind as well as excellence in expressive talents. He is very impressive and a great communicator. This is masterful and the interview is well conducted. Bravo!
So glad I clicked onto this one. Masterful performer made all the more impressive by sharing his method.
Step 1: Have one of the most spectacular voices in all of stage theatre. Absolutely captivating.
This makes anyone root for Javert
This was so engaging to listen to
My absolute favorite Javert. Wish I could sit in on a whole clinic with this man.
Seeing this was so motivating! Thank you RUclips! What an inspiration ❤
After watching this, I went back and watched him as Javert in Les Mis and it made his performance that much more incredible.
THE Javert. No one can match him.
Saw Philip Quast 3 times as Javert in Manchester. His performance blew me away each time. For me, the star of the show.
This is a master class. ❤️
Thanks for this wonderful interview. Philip is correct about vanity. It's what makes Hollywood actors look like cardboard cut-outs. Plastic surgery and fear of looking less than perfect makes them less than wonderful performers.
He is so much like me in terms of curiosity. I always want to learn new things and at age 76 I am still learning many new things. I do have 1 tiny advantage over him. I am naturally 45% right handed 45% left handed and 10% ambidextrous. One difference I see and work to see the future.
@@user-qv9sf9gn2i at almost 70 I'm still excited by life and love to keep learning. The choice is ours as to whether we're open to our continued growth.
Gave some more insight on what words to emphasize and add some more emotion to when singing that song. Helps a lot!
No wonder he's the best Javert ever.
isn't it kind of strange how the best Javert of all time looks a lot like the worst Javert of all time?
He is possibly my favorite actor of all time. I love his thoughts on the business of singing this song I know the director emphasizing in the extreme that they would act the songs more so than singing them,.... still Eponine did it. Russell does not have a big enough voice for Javerts featured songs. Not by a long shot. Listen to Bryn Terfle if you want to understand,... i Mean cast THATGUY sure he wont put butts in seats like Russell but LES MIS, less so than many other musicals, but even with its EPIC story, Les Mis is about the singing the music not acting the story.
what
Just listening to him talk through the lyrics without even singing brought tears to my eyes, which demonstrates exactly why he's THE best Javert, period.
He was in UK tv series’ ‘Ultraviolet’ (1998) who had a new actor in it named Idris Elba…… He’s been in many Aussie films & tv shows’ as well since 1991. Always great to watch his consummate acting……
Oh my god-WHY HASN'T DISNEY HIRED THIS MAN YET!!!? Seriously! Quast could be the next great Disney villain!
Chills honestly. My very favorite Javert. The 10th anniversary Les Miserables staged special is a classic. I hung on to every word of this interview. Thank you RUclips algorithm for queuing this video for me.
I've always held tremendous admiration for the talents of this man and now hearing him speak so eloquently. Really now puts him at the very top of my list of talented individuals in this world
Loved watching him, Lea Salonga and the rest of the cast in Les Mis 10th Anniversary, it just took my breath away.
still the Gold standard despite being "just" a concert version. I only have it in DVD and would love to see a Blu-Ray release. It absolutely never gets stale.
My ex husband is from Scotland a when he was little he actually saw PQ as Javert. I’m so jealous. I wish PQ would have played Javert in the movie version. I know they were just looking for a Hollywood star. I think Russel Crowe sucked. Javert is my fav character . I actually named one of my dogs Javert.
Russell is a terrific actor, and was an intriguing choice at one time, but clearly is not a singer in the vein of the stage performers we have enjoyed, especially Quast. Crowe was bound to suffer in comparison and is to be commended for not trying to perform in a mimicry of what theatre fans are accustomed - which would be out of his natural range it seems. It is a different take on the character that while suitably menacing in the acting department was never going to be comparable in the musical presentation aspect.
He is indeed a Master!
Russell Crowe should have spent some time w/him
he was in fact, smart to not try to be something he was not really a good fit for -- a musical powerhouse. Crowe was quite good in the acting portion of the role, but ill-suited toward the musical presentation many of us now expect from the role as a result of performances such as Quast's - which is just incomparable and elevating.
This is amazing
Russell Crowe kind of looks like him...
This is awesome!
I had no idea that how to sing a song could be so fascinating and so deeply thought out. I was spellbound. No wonder it moves me so deeply when I hear him sing this. Thank you, Philip.
he is telling us exactly why we are so impressed with his performance without saying that...this greatly increases my appreciation for his performance by now understanding beyond a surface impression, exactly why I find it so moving and connective.
I'm in love !!! Just watching him in BETWEEN TWO WORLDS.
24601 is living rent free in Javier’s head 😂. Dominion Can I also point out that Javier was a Chief Police or something like that while sung he that part. Thinking of someone that jumped parole for 10 years?! Wow! Wouldn’t Javier have other concerns with his life. (Spoiler) No wonder he offed himself
Had no idea Peter Gabriel played Javert
He is the only singer from any type of music that has given me goose bumps, seeing him live with his voice is way beyond all others.
A brilliant analysis, and oh my God, what a voice. Amazing timing and precision. He should narrate audiobooks.
Wonder what he thought of Crowes version. Which had zero menace.
The only Javert. I got to see him in London. Amazing. And Lea Solange
After watching this, I just have to watch the 25th anniversary again and listen for how he sings. Great interview.
His speaking voice is as amazing as his singing voice. Well, almost as amazing.
A fascinating insight into the best song in the show.
I see your point and it is an important song, but the whole story is encapsulated by ‘Who am I?’ sung of course by Valjean
@@chrisp4170 it’s a great song, but for me nothing encapsulates both Valjean and Javert like that song. We learn throughout the whole musical of the journey these two have been on, and Valjean could have killed him, he could have done so many things after the endless running and hunting, but he chose not to, prompting Javerts last song. A moment that lives with me forever (despite my younger brother spoiling it for me for years by yelling “splash!” right as Quast utters the last syllables.) It’s an amazing show, and remains in my top 5 musicals of all time, but Phillip Quast will only ever be *my* Javert.
I thought it was Russell Crowe 😵💫
Never did I think to read Javert's Suicide like Shakespeare but it is almost more beautiful than the full piece. Incredible.
There are times, and you know when you see it, that you recognize how great we can be; what we can create that transcends all, makes everything else look small; makes us wonder why we can't just be this way with each other, toward each other all the time... So good!
just love this man!
The best Javert there has been. Brilliant.
