Steve Barton I just realized remember him being family history books documentary about biography book of Life in magazine and pay attention past life look back
WOW WOW WOW ! After hearing Steve Barton, this is the only thing I could say. What fantastic, warming, sexy and passionate voice. Steve passed away and it is a great loss. This is the best Raoul of all time, 35 years after.
His voice is so beautiful. I'm mesmerised. I've waatched and listened to so many version of Phantom, but no Raoul had a voice as beautiful as his. So soft, so warm, so perfect.
Nothing will ever beat the deep, warm silk that is Steve Barton's voice wrapping around Christine .. his Raoul will keep her the safest for eternity RIP 💞
@@contagiousintelligence5007 They guy is perfect in the roll. So was Michael Crawford. Divine intervention. The show was meant to be. Just don't want Sir ALW to mess with it. Any change to the original is kaka, IMO.
I just missed him his birthday party anniversary celebration and 25 years of gaslight theater in Spanish language arts center spot in the world and the first 🥇🪙🏆 timeless timeline time and make it happen again this year contact with them are in
I have watched serveral duet couple of this song from 1986 to 2022 and I love them all, but there is still something quite special about Steve Barton and Sarah Brightman. I know this is the original one so everybody know that, but the way they act, the word they sang just seem distinctive. Barton's voice was so warm, sent tears to my eyes everytime, and Sarah too, the way they powerfully sang "ANYWHERE YOU GO, LET ME GO TOO" is pure eargasm for me. Forever love you Steve Barton, Rest in peace.
I had the pleasure and honor of working with Steve briefly on a Bway show that didn’t last long (The Red Shoes). He was a wonder and kind person as well as being incredibly talented... I was so saddened by his death.
Mr Barton and Ms Brightman seem to have brought out the best in each other. There performance is magical. I'm so glad it lives on in my mind and thankful for RUclips.
Steve Barton manages to do the impossible, makes me actually LIKE Raoul lol. What can I say, I am a Phantom girl but SB and that beautiful warm voice is absolutely swoonworthy. Rest in Peace, Steve.
The Greatest Phantom I ever saw was Steve Barton. And yes I saw Crawford. Barton was such a once in a lifetime talent. And as the Phantom he was epic. How tragic he left us so soon. Rest in peace Steve.
Whenever I think of Raoul in regards to Phantom, I immediately think of Steve Barton, to me he's the best Raoul bar none. I'm still very saddened by his death. RIP Steve Barton.
@Jeremy Bode They're both baritones. They're the angel and the devil on the shoulder of Christine. There's nothing to indicate the Phantom is a tenor...There's a reason ALW wrote the music like he did..
Probably when Phantom stopped being played by tenors. Personally I think they should both be baritones or bari-tenors with contrasting vocal timbres. I think Raoul could have a very light, young baritone voice and Phantom have a very powerful, dark one OR the Phantom could have a very light, ghostly baritone voice and Raoul a warm, rich, crooning one.
2:58 Steve Barton and Sarah Brightman ~ ALL I ASK OF YOU. I could listen to them on repeat, truly magical. Years back I had the opportunity of watching this at the Majesty’s Theatre.
Aloha to Steve Barton, Sarah Brightman, John Forsythe, Andrew Lloyd Webber, the Paris Opera House, Bob Hope and Mr. Bungee for this glorious "All I Ask of You." Am 78 yrs. old, born and raised in Hawaii, love all genre of music including operas. Classical music has blessed my life and brought me happiness, joy, sadness, and elevated all my emotions about love and living with others. God bless all of us especially now with the Covi-19 virus running amok. Let us all hang closely together and overcome this invisible killer !!!! Sincerely, Robert S.J. Hu July 19, 2020.
Oh, my poor Steve Barton. I miss him, even though I never met him or saw him, for some reason, I feel like I can say that and it's appropriate. His voice is so soothing and comforting. No one ever talks about him, not even in the specials, not sure why. I even named my Dragonite 'Barton' after him. . . well, that and because in the original episodes of the anime, it sounds like it's saying 'Bart, bart!', but I digress. . .
@@noeleenmurphy7901 Barton had, in the last years of his life, been battling with alcoholism and addiction to painkillers following chronic knee problems. He was found dead at his apartment in Bremen, Germany on July 21, 2001, aged 47. While his death was initially attributed to heart failure, according to obituary information released by the press office for the New York production of The Phantom of the Opera, it was later ruled a suicide by the district attorney in Bremen after an empty bottle of prescription heart medication was found at the scene. 😢
Sarah sounds so much better live than on the cast recording. The recording makes it sound like her vowels are wide and she has something caught in her throat, she sounds so much smoother live
Steve, Michael, Sarah Golden Trio and my fav cast in Phantom of the opera even though I wasn't born at that time and can enjoy them only thanks to these videos. :)
Ah, When time travel is possible, I am sure the box offices will be overcrowded with people wanting to see it. But the reality is, the theater has only so many seats...
It was my privilege to see this phenomenal show live in San Franciso. Singing sent shivers up your spine, vocals were out of this world. Put goose bumbs on my skin and left a lifetime full of beautiful memories.
Steve Barton-greatly missed. As I remembered it the first time I saw it on Broadway. Phantom still going strong at the Majestic theater after all these years!
Everyone criticizes Sarah for coming across very awkward while playing Christine, but have you considered, Christine is just awkward?? Weird Girl Christine™️ needs more love
Got to see the late Mr. Barton play both Raoul and The Phantom. Loved him as Raoul and while I found him good as The Phantom I felt the only one he could have seduced was Raoul. Sadly never got to see Michael Crawford play The Phantom. My favorite to date (of one's I've seen) is Howard McGillian.
Bob Hope and his wife Delores in the audience. Sweet people, both very talented and giving. Bet they really appreciated the music they heard that night.
Years gone by and we never will see the beauty of music at it's best of times. Musicals gone from tv we enjoyed so much with passion that made our tears come down our face.😢

My first Raoul, and still my favorite. Rest in peace Steve ❤
mine too
Now, at 62, Sarah continues her long career, and her voice is deeper, richer, never missing a note.
She is truly an amazing performer 💗
Fãntastic Performance!
Endlich das Original
Fantastisch, endlich das Original
So many people say that Sarah Brightman couldn't act, but honestly, this performance right here begs to differ.
I think Repo shows that as well (sorry that this reply is so delayed compared to yours)
Oh course she can act, her expressions are insane
she can, idk who thinks she can't but they're stupid.
She can act but she overacts.
shes my top Christine
Steve Barton was so good. RIP Mr. Barton. Thank you for sharing your talent and inspiration.
Just found out the cause of his death was suicide, so sad
@@Yelobutterflyable Yes. Very sad.
There hasn't been a better Raoul anywhere or at anytime.
@@horizon319 He was fantastic.
Unvergessen!!!!!!
Both of them, Steve Barton and Sarah Brightman..their voice compliments each other. What a beautiful voice they have.
I live so close to Mr. Barton’s final resting place. I am going to visit and say a prayer for him. What an unbelievable voice.

SS
SHAME
How did he die?
I love his voice too. What a loss!
@@dianespanpinato8890 It appeared to have been from a drug overdose. Ruled a suicide.
Please give greetings from germany when you go to his final resting place. We miss him.
My daughter. Took me to see phantom. In London for my 80 th birthday. Loved it
Sarah Brightman's voice could make even the angels weep!
Steve could play a romantic hero or a vampire lord and always do it perfectly. What a talent.
Steve Barton just made me fall in love. What a magical voice
Couldn't resist opening this as it popped up while waiting in queue. Barton's voice is so beautiful. So sad he's gone. I miss him.
Me too. Such a lovely, romantic voice
Steve Barton was the BEST Roul ever in my opinion!! There is a tenderness and such control in his voice.

Steve was also a fine actor and fabulous dancer! He and Sarah rocked the stage in masquerade.
Barton was the complete package: amazing voice, a great actor, and a maturity that helped him create the character of Raoul.
He sounds and looks just like a prince in shining armour
You forgot that he’s very good looking
@@contagiousintelligence5007 I don't deny that, but it's not the first thing I notice when looking at a guy. ;P
For me it is;)

Steve Barton, what a great voice. RIP

I’ve always loved the Phantom, but I’d definitely choose Raoul if he sang to me like that. God Steve Barton was amazing... 😭

Steve’s voice has so much emotion in it I’m crying
Do you know what me too I think about him his own life story ture life movie all about having the best
Steve Barton is the best Raoul, like ever
Opera
So so sad still that Mr. Barton is gone. Breaks my heart...so talented and beautiful. :-(
I agree. Dese god, his voice is divine, angelic, it’s so unreal. I’d cry if someone like him sing this song to me
i am more michael crawford myself but sad steve died !😣
I had the pleasure and honor of working with Steve briefly on a Bway show that didn’t last long (The Red Shoes). He was a wonder and kind person as well as being incredibly talented... I was so saddened by his death.
Steve Barton's voice is like velvet chocolate
So true!
Damn!!! Steve Barton has one of the best vocals for the character of Raoul.
omg andrew is so young here! he also seems so adorably nervous.
yes!!!! and i love when he introduced Christine as "performed by my wife Sara Brightman"
He still is nervous on stage😂😂😅
A certain level of emotional maturity is much appreciated in this performance. Steve Barton is the perfect Raoul.
He is so genuine and convincing! What a beautiful performance.
What I need you hear love me
Oh Steve, RIP - first and best Raoul. No one else has been able to deliver this depth of warmth and heart since.
The best Raoul ever. His voice was so haunting, just like Michael Crawford%’s.
Mr Barton and Ms Brightman seem to have brought out the best in each other. There performance is magical. I'm so glad it lives on in my mind and thankful for RUclips.

I agree! I am a "Phantom girl" too but Steve's voice is magic and I am sure his performance was as well. Rest In Peace
Awwww... That's a man's voice right, so deep and rich and warms your ❤️
His voice is why I love the character of Raoul.
The Greatest Phantom I ever saw was Steve Barton. And yes I saw Crawford. Barton was such a once in a lifetime talent. And as the Phantom he was epic. How tragic he left us so soon. Rest in peace Steve.

Beautiful. Takes my breath away.
Agreed
And it's not even close.
Absolutely love Steve Barton's voice.

He died so young
Steve has the most Devine voice I've ever heard
Most suicidal, best voicing guy there is!
When did Raoul stopped being played by baritones? This is better then any tenor who've tried to sing this without solid low notes

In my opinion, the best voice for this is the Lyric Baritone.
As a tenor I must agree with you.
An absolute blessing to us all that Barton’s voice was forever preserved in the poto soundtrack.
Sarah Brightman sings this beautifully, and very expressively.
😭😭😭 did anyone else cry, no just me? 😭

I really like Steve as Raoul. He has a certain charm to the character.
:)
He adds something French to the image and American open vowels that are so articulate onstage
he seema more like a daddy here tbh and it kind of fits
To me looks like the cartoon Prince Charming turned into a human Prince Charming ...he has that look and sings good.
He was by far the best from the original three.

*Here* his voice is soothing and comforting. As Krolock in Tanz der Vampire, he sounds plenty menacing. Or anguished.
Love him what happened to him❤

First time I've heard Steve Barton. Wow!! So in love. Beautiful perfection
I wish I could have seen the original cast of Phantom.
yea bet you could step back in time to 1986 then :]
Ah, When time travel is possible, I am sure the box offices will be overcrowded with people wanting to see it. But the reality is, the theater has only so many seats...
my aunt did im so jealous
i saw them. it was magical
Have u seen Michael as phantom?
Steve Barton, such a beautiful haunting voice
Phantom is the best opera ever will be and musical
It was my privilege to see this phenomenal show live in San Franciso. Singing sent shivers up your spine, vocals were out of this world. Put goose bumbs on my skin and left a lifetime full of beautiful memories.
Stunning performance by Steve Barton.
Steve Barton-greatly missed. As I remembered it the first time I saw it on Broadway. Phantom still going strong at the Majestic theater after all these years!
absolutely incredible what webber accomplished & before he was 40. AMAZING TALENT!!!
@@MB-zk2nj What about Justin Bieber? He's a gazillionaire from his singing.
That is fucking perfection! Can’t beat this duo. Barton’s voice was solid gold. Gone too soon.
Wow he sounds like a wonderful prince! ✨💗
Wish I had this baritone voice! He is missed
Steve, so many years have been passing by, but there is not one day that I´m missing You, with love from me to You Marion
I should not listen to this, it will stay in my head the day long. It is so very wonderful.
Thank you for the clip. Hugely miss that voice. Thank you Steve Barton for bringing Raoul’s love to life.
What a BEAUTIFUL score

Stunning. Best version I've heard.
Steve was an outstanding choice to go "up against" Crawford.

Wonderful Perfirmance !❤❤
Absolutely beautiful!
Steve Barton was the first Raul I've heard and he was so perfect. And I couln't imagine other Raul.
Love it! This History. Sarah and Steve Barton
i cant stop watching these
Baron was 33 here, he looks much older. Brilliant voice.
Their voice is magical
Me and my husband see this opera show in London its our wedding anniversary ❤❤we have a good time ⌚ time ❤❤🎉
I kinda feel that the closest Raoul to Steve Barton is Patrick Wilson. The smoothness and gentleness is there.
Loved Patrick Wilson’s Raoul. He is as tender as Steve, and they both look the part.
Crawfred's voice acting deserves some recognition!
Bob Hope and his wife Delores in the audience. Sweet people, both very talented and giving. Bet they really appreciated the music they heard that night.
I seen Sarah in concert in Pittsburgh AWSOME ❤️🥰❤️
36 years ago! Wow! Time travel!
So much feeling into this beautiful song, lovely ❤
I saw Sarah Brightman in the London performance. Magnificent.
Phantom, A Great Opera!! So Touchable !!
Thanks to Mr. Webber!!
The original cast is still the very best.
This has everything including one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Im so glad to see the real singers on stage same as musical theater 🎭 😍🙏🌹🌹🌹
The voices of angels.
Years gone by and we never will see the beauty of music at it's best of times. Musicals gone from tv we enjoyed so much with passion that made our tears come down our face.😢
What a gem! This is beautiful. Thanks so much for uploading.
