Can we give a moment of thanks to the music engineer? The clarity and ability to hear each “voice” in this recording is extraordinary! (Not to mention the way to “low end” comes through so well!)
Yeah, some of the stuff they've done with the horns, harp, and upper winds is just fantastic!
I was the tmpanist in this & this was recorded in Dolby Atmos (Ten Times better than Dolby Digital) those microphones pick up the smallest noise like turning the page of your music to loud & in my case adjusting the note of the timpani using a creaky pedal. If you get yourself a Dolby Atmos sound bar then you won't regret it. As a professional musician i have played many versions of ALW's musicals (Phantom, Love Never Dies, Superstar etc) & this is the best suite arrangement i have ever played in) Andrew also did a suite for Sunset Boulevard & Evita recorded in the same sitting over 2 days. Here are the links for these & share this beautiful music. sunset Boulevarde .ruclips.net/video/T30YnAwgjtU/видео.html & Evita. ruclips.net/video/LiZ0TlZ8WgM/видео.html. Enjoy.

God. Imagine being in that room, hearing the music surround you entirely. It would be a heavenly out of body experience.
How can my obssession with Phantom ever end when the music and the performance are so amazing?
For real
You re not the only one ❤
Guaranteed to be the best 25 minutes of your life this year.
And in celebration of the show’s 35th anniversary.
@@darthkurland Thanks i did not know that. Cheers!
this has the most phenomenal mixing of any orchestral performance I've ever heard. genuinely astounding how well balanced everything is
Andrew Lloyd Webber is simply a genius, creating such beautiful music!! 👌
Nah
He is not! This music was created by Pink Floyd - Echoes ;)
@@sophiasupernova8407 Uhm yes they both used the chromatic scale, but I would hardly say that this was composed by Pink Floyd...
@@ineedmorehobbies4853 Lloyd Weber stolen also phrases from Puccinis Opera ;)
@@ineedmorehobbies4853 Echoes of Pink Floyd was composed in the 1971 😉
That piccolo player is AMAZING. As a flutist and piccolo player myself, his intonation and sound is mesmerizing. The climax of Masquerade is where he really shines.
This is simply the best version I've heard of this masterpiece
Oh my goodness this is absolutely phenomenal. Some of these harmonies are so luscious and full they legitimately elicit a smile and shiver from me. Bravo to all of the performers and to ALW for creating this masterpiece
I know! I’ve always loved when the French horn finishes music of the night 7:22 and the rest of the orchestra moves up the scale until they meet the French horn at the final chord!!! And in this rendition it was awesome!
I’ve been really into Phantom lately, for some reason. Watching this and hearing this is just magnificent. Thank you for this amazing post. 😎
It sounds like the horn is calling the other instruments to rise to this wonderful level.
"Sir" Lloyd Webber didn't create it, the orchestrator did. Webber just dotted a few notes down, and they did the rest.
@@praestant8
But what "Dots and Lines" they are.
Great to hear a good orchestra playing for a change!
One of God’s greatest gifts to humanity is music. This orchestra really really really made that gift shine. WOW is an understatement.
HUGE orchestra! Have ever so many capable and enthusiastic professionals assembled to give their hearts to this mesmerizing masterpiece??
Sure, for the Phantom film
I was the timpanist in this, This orchestra is probably around 70-80 musicians but a full symphonic orchestra which i played in the Phantom of the Opera live musical some years ago had about 120 musicians. Because all the instruments are mic'd up it sounds bigger than what you might think. If you ever get the chance to see any ALW show that has a full Symphonic Orchestra beg, borrow or steal to get a ticket, you will never forget it. These types of music sounds 10 times better if you have "Dolby Atmos". It sounds like your sitting in the middle of the orchestra with the sound coming above you, behind you on your left, on your right etc This is probably the best arrangement of a phantom Suite i have ever heard.
The secret for how so many great musicians gather to peform such great music is....$74.00 per hour.
@@helpstopanimalabuse8153 A Golden Key for Golden Tones...
@@helpstopanimalabuse8153 This comment, sir, wins the internet ;-)
I couldn’t stop crying throughout. Yes 21 minutes of pure joy and emotion. Thank you for this. ❤
Your welcome, i play this every day.
Who mixed this? This is incredible. Listening to it on studio monitors and subs. UNREAL!
I do not know who mixed it. But he or she sure did an amazing job! So crystal clear! I hope you check this recording with all of your subs too. This was done by Gregory K. Squires! ruclips.net/video/e459wlIjOns/видео.html
I wish I knew. My guess would be Shawn Murphy.
It definitely should sound amazing, seeing how many microphones they have set up to capture everything. I can't even imagine what that is like to set up and run, not to mention the mixing.
Mixed by Such Sweet Thunder who are Kirsty Whalley and Peter Cobbin. They have mixed many famous film scores. They are also credited with having recorded it which is an amazing piece of work in itself.
Does anyone know why they are using home speakers in front of the conductor?
Man, this is music. Music that makes you remember just how epic an organ can get.
Thank you thank you thank you for this!!!! Phantom has been my favorite since I was 12 now 45....your music is beautiful and will delight many generations to come. Thank you Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber ❤
Love your comment
So true!! Phantom is my most absolute favorite! Music that can truly touch your heart and soul! I could listen to this all day!! ❤❤❤🌟🌟🌟👏👏👏🎵🎶🎵🎶
I am glad you know about the " Sir " in his name ; he was knighted by the Queen ! 🤩
I really wish someone would do this for some of Stephen Sondheim's musicals, specifically Into the Woods and Sweeney Todd. A symphonic version of Johanna, Children Will Listen, No One Is Alone, Epiphany, etc., would knock the wind out of me. A symphonic suite of Sunday in the Park with George would also be fantastic
I'm pretty sure there is a symphonic suite for Sweeney Todd...
Edit: It's quite a bit shorter than this, but here it is: ruclips.net/video/uehxlq9iZZ0/видео.html
One of the best orchestrations I have heard of the show (or any Broadway show). Follows in the traditions of the French and English masters, and yet it is fresh and original. And a nice nod to Stravinsky at the end. Really fantastic! Hats off to all involved, especially the orchestrator. I wish that person was acknowledged in the description.
Is a shame they never mentioned him. I look around and found the name of the orchestrator: Andrew Cottee.
Strange thing, but whilst I love his “big” works, this album left me cold. I thought the lifeless orchestrations were the poorest I’ve heard for his larger scale pieces.
@@JonathanSao He must’ve used the original orchestrations by David Cullen and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber himself as the starting point.
By Stravinsky, do you mean the conclusion of “The Firebird?”
@@darthkurland Yes, very similar in orchestration, the triangle, the tremolo in the strings, the crescendo into the crash cymbal to punctuate the ending. Very effective.
i'll never get tired of this music, its absolutely genius and phenomenal......... have no idea how someone could ever put such a story into such music. i always cry listening to it
This is so beautiful. I can't read music or play any instruments. This is amazing. I can close my eyes and I can see the scenes come to life. Thank you Sir for Phantom.
❤🎵❤🎶❤

I am the same, harmonies confuse me, I can't hold a note to save myself. But in this clip I can sing like Michael Crawford, my imagination puts me there. For a music tragic like myself this is wonderful.
PS. I share your frustrations in our lack of musical ability :)
And you just made me cry as I read your comment with Think of Me playing in the background. I lack musical abilities too but I am highly sensitive and this kind of music makes me feel safe.
It lead me back to 2004 when I saw The Phantom movie. I was mesmerized by this themes in that time and now again. Today that cinema doesn't exist anymore but the memories remain vivid in my memory. Bravo maestro.
That opening chord itself gave me goosebumps!
Give around of 👏 to this man. Without him, the music of broadway shows won't tell a story. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
so true👍
In the show the transition from Masquerade to the Phantom's theme is so gripping and powerful... those five beats that just strangle the party. My favourite single moment of my favourite musical.
Andrew Lloyd Webber this is absolutely perfection. ❤😊
Having seen Phantom on Broadway about 7 times in NYC (including twice in April 2023 at the last two performances), I truly cannot get over how beautiful this is. Thank you Lloyd Webber! ❤
Please return to New York; the stage awaits!
Oh my goodness the harmony is absolutely a gift from heaven...
I can't believe that Andrew actually made this with his own hand.
Bravo!!!
After all these years, this score still gives me chills and gooseflesh.
20 times at Her Majesty's Theatre (now His Majesty... bah) and 2 times in NYC at Majestic Theatre.
One of the best shows I've ever seened: I know every single note!
Thanks for this video!
One of the greatest full symphonic performances & best arrangement of ALW's Phantoms suites i have ever played. Special mention to the french horn players they were outstanding. Must have really busted their chops.
WOW! This organ intro makes your 'hair stand on end'!
If you want another thrilling organ experience, listen to Saint Saens' Organ Symphony. There are many recordings. Here is one:

@@FrantasticFrantasy Thank-you Fran! I was just listening to this. Very nice with the organ. I have a piece entitled "The New 23rd" that was also recorded with organ. I hope you can listen to it on RUclips. I play violin & trumpet. This song was recorded with the organ at Rye Presbyterian Church in Rye, N.Y.. Here is the link.... ruclips.net/video/e459wlIjOns/видео.html
This was incredibly wonderful. Andrew LLoyd Webber has written so many smashing scores, I wish all of the others he wrote would become movies also so we could live them forever.
I came so close to giving this performance a round of applause!
Watched Phantom in London this past Friday. It was so superb to be back. I recognise the conductor here from the show
Awh man, it would be amazing to be able to hear this live. I'm already having goosebumps just from hearing through my earbuds!
SUBLIME
The symphony which I work for just bought this magnificent arrangement, and we’re playing it live this Saturday. Such a joy to play it
@@boinaeloms6876 I'm jealous. Want to sit in on practice....
Phantom Of the Opera is my FAVOURITE musical of all time it's like an actual part of me because it's just a masterpiece and nothing can beat it and this performance is just incredible! I love it so much and I now have goosebumps! I can't wait for the day I take my grandchildren to come and watch this. Long live Phantom ✊
Andrew's talent as an arranger/orchestrator has always outshone his talent as a composer.
He didn't arrange it :)
@@joshuadshepherd do you have any information on who did? Every source I’ve seen has either not mentioned an arranger or implied it was him, so I just figured it must have been. He does a lot of his own.
I still stand by my point! I think it’s true.
@@joshuadshepherd oh, I see here the arrangements were done by Andrew Cottee? I find it hard to believe Andrew LW didn’t have his hands in that pie as well, but Cottee has done a terrific job!
@@joshuadshepherd at the very least, a lot of the arrangements here lift quite heavily from Lloyd Webber and David Cullen’s original work!
I cried in several moments of this masterpiece. Nothing to add. Just listen to it.
I am so happy I ran across this scanning thru you tube. All the times I've seen the phantom I never once saw the orchestra play these beautiful and touching pieces. How many people are in this orchestra...they're spread out in such a large area. Mr. Weber, you are a genius. I have to admit I loved the Phantom with Gerard in it, the modern Phantom I didn't really care for...everything done on stage, the settings, costumes etc just weren't there. Thank you...love music, loved this video! ❤🎼🎶🎵
I was the timpanist in this there were close to 80 musicians but with everybody micd up it sounded more like a full symphonic orchestra which has usually at least 120 people. It was recorded over 2 days & Simon Lee really worked us hard. There was a young flutist (around 18) who was struggling with her part & was sacked & given her marching orders in front of the entire orchestra. I think Simon Lee could have handled that better. He is a real tough judge but he is a real hard ass although these musicians are the best of the best & are paid well & there should be a expectation that the musicians should deliver first class music. A hard, arduous 2 days but also enjoyable.
@@helpstopanimalabuse8153 Great to hear from an insider of the performance. Also, I hate it when the video director or editor does not recognize that when ever the timpanist is playing, he is the most visual instrumentalist in the orchestra.
@@1106gary You must be a mind reader, i was the Timpanist. The timpanis are the link between the brass & percussion. You need excellent tone hearing. If you hit one off note it's very obvious. it is a challenging instrument. Everybody was spaced out because of Covid. This was filmed at the Theatre Royal which ALW owns & had just spent 19 million dollars on a complete refurbishment. it looks stunning. The top section is very high & steep. There are 2 other similar pieces we recorded. Just search "Sunset Boulevarde Symphonic Suite" & Evita Symphonic Suite.
San Francisco midweek performance box seats in the early nineties, what a treat! The original Masquerade scene was brilliant and so vividly colorful. First time I saw grandfatherly men cry at the ending. I would love to see it again live with an orchestra this size😍😍
What a joy to be able to watch and listen to this recording! Stirs up memories, emotions, and all sorts of wonderful thoughts! Have a happy Christmas!
This is the right way to commemorate the Phantom’s 35-year run on Broadway. His final bow at the Majestic Theater in New York will be on April 16, with Andrew Lloyd Webber in attendance.
I really hope they film the final performance like they did for Rent. This will be an important piece of musical history that simply must be preserved in all its beauty
@@movieforceofficialI found out that they did film the last performance in its entirety. They just haven’t released it yet.
@@darthkurland source?
@@movieforceofficial I believe that AWL said that it would be a mistake to not do so.
It’s the first time in my life I’ve been speechless for 21 minutes and 25 seconds. ❤
I first saw "The Phantom of the Opera" when I was 17. I thought that it was the most amazing thing in the world.
Masterpiece! Bring on The vinyl Andrew! Love To see your recordings be released on vinyl
I love how we are able to actually watch the musicians and their craft (not easy at all in live POTO performances). Well done!
I love this! I especially love watching the orchestra and hearing the use of the horns. Awesome! Can't get enough!
Wonderful as a musician, to see the camera going around and picking up individual players in action-love it!
I absolutely love the depth of this composition!! Beautifully done as always!
What a Beautiful Masterpiece!!! Phantom has been my favorite ever since childhood! Andrew Lloyd Webber is a Musical Genius!!! This music touches my soul! It's sooo Powerful and Beautiful!! I've been blessed to have ice skated a solo to Music Of The Night for ice show performances and it was my absolute favorite! And my acapella choir during my junior and senior years in high school got the amazing opportunity to sing Masquerade!! 60 voices strong singing that song was absolutely Amazing!! Thank you for sharing this!! ❤🎶❤🎵❤🎶❤🎵👏👏👏
I saw The Phantom on Broadway in New York in 2000, I have never gotten the music out of my head!!!
Same
14:51 to 15:09 is just, French horn beauty at its finest
I really enjoy seeing the enthusiasm of the conductor. The jump at 20:06 got me :)
Eine Meisterleistung der klassischen Musik. Man spürt, wenn man die Augen schließt, das Phantom durch den Saal schweben. Es ist einfach klasse. Und mit einem sehr guten Kopfhörer wird es zum Erlebnis für die Sinne! ♥️lichen Danke dafür .
Pass
In English please!

I can almost hear every sing lyric of each song. ♥️ Phantom of the Opera is my favorite musical!
This is absolutely fantastic!!!
Awesome! Love the songs.
Fantactic!!! Thank you, Andrew! Since childhood, I have loved The Phantom of the Opera very much. And in my heart your creation is forever. Thanks!!!! Throughout the orchestra's playing, I cried and admired now. Every note touched the strings of my soul. It's magical, you're a wizard! I would love to listen to your speech in Minsk, is it possible? The Phantom of the Opera is so dear to my heart. My name is Christine, and I am also a musician) My dad also liked it when he was alive. Thanks. The whole film and the music are yours, it resonates in my soul.
I am sorry for your loss.
@@glennericksenmusic thank you dear human 💚
Beautiful
Isn't this one of the finest peaks of human evolution?
Biggest compliments and thanks to all who participated! I'm moved to tears.
I don't know why but I'm crying my eyes out here, this reminded me why I'm struggling so hard to become a composer
Chills, chills and more chills
absolutely beautiful!
I listened to this inside my car with the volume turned up a bit and WOW! I could actually feel the music inside my soul! Absolutely beautiful! ❤️
Nunca me canso desse espetáculo.
Bravo…standing ovation. So beautiful
Such a powerful music!!!
Loved it
Thank you huge fan here in memory of Brooke and Lynn RIP
Anddrew Lloyd Webber hat damit eine so romantische, emotionale und wunderschöne Musik 🎶 komponiert...den Film 🎥, dass Musical...ich bin ein Phantom der Oper Fan ❤...Augen schließen und in der Musik versinken 😊
Oh man... You posted this on the day after me and the family went to the Helsinki Opera to enjoy this absolute masterpiece of a musical... The stage crew, musicians and actors really knocked it out of the park! It was glorious! The visual effects, the music, the dancing... It was the perfect present for my mother's birthday, and it really made her day.
This symphonic suite is certainly much better than the original score. Full symphony orchestra plus a careful arrangement make the difference.
TOTALLY AGREE - MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL SCORE - FULL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PLUS A CAREFUL ARRANGEMENT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
Definitely. This is what the movie should've had. I feel so transported listening to this
Omg! Ive been searching for this! Crystal clear sounds and all the beautiful instruments..always love full orchestras, the amalgamation brings tears becuz its tooooo beautiful!
Just absolutely beautiful!
increible como de niño me impresionaba esta cancion sin llegarme a gustar, me daba incluso cierto miedo, tenia 10 años ahora a mis 40 años Dios que hermosa melodia
Absolutamente maravilhoso!!
I was in tears one moment and almost out of my body in ecstasy the next. Not often one can say that you have cried out of sheer joy because of music so beautiful. Andrew please please follow up with Love Never Dies! It will make my life having been worth living.
What a lovely rendition of this famous musical piece. 👍👏
THIS IS THE MOST MAJESTIC THING IVE EVER HEARD
Maravillosa!!!!!
Absolutely breathtaking. Bravo!
Mesmerizing!
love it
Beyond amazing!
Magnificent! Lloyd Weber is truly a great composer.
This is simply awesome!!!
Wow!! What a masterpiece!!! I LOVE IT!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! 🤩🤩🤩❤️
As I sit here listening/watching, I am transported back to the 2nd row, stage center, during the performance of Phantom! I have the original CD and listen often, but the absolutely lush sound of this orchestration is transformative.
Thank you so much for sharing. What a wonderful performance! So enjoyable!
Thank you for such great music. It is absolutely wonderful!!
Beautiful, imaginative and intriguing! This music takes you through the labyrinth of the underground dwelling of the Phantom. One of the best symphonic suites, ever! I keep going back to it. This music is enchanting!
BRAVO!!!
That was so beautiful. Such gorgeous music from Phantom. What a joy it was to watch this video. 🥰
Brilliant!
beautiful
Awesome 👍
Cuando llega el solo de trompas en el 14:51 se me pone la piel de gallina... espectacular
BEAUTIFUL! the last time i heard an orchestra arrangement for The Phantom of the Opera was Sarah Chang and Julian Lloyd Webber's violin and cello double concerto. Hoped that someone would do an all-orchestra arrangement...and here it is! Exceptional!
most very beautiful!!!
Que hermosoooo💜
