    I find it interesting to hear how his voice has developed and how his interpretation of this song developed over time. Quast's voice has definitely improved with age.

    I've seen a great many Javerts -- but Philip Quast is the undoubtedly the best. Thank goodness he was features in the PBS special performance.

      This is off the soundboard and we're hearing what is coming straight off his forehead microphone. Listen what happens when he takes his hat off and puts his head back at "Stars in your multitudes". That's the echo from the space above the stage your hearing. Later when he kneels down and does the "Lord let me find him" bit it's bouncing off the floor and there is more of a bassy sound. The audience will be getting a better experience via the amplification on the Sound Board and the theatre acoustics. This is what got me about the movie version ; live singing on a movie set without proper sound modification is just not on!

      The 10th anniversary was definitely a better performance all around. In some places his timing was off here and for whatever reason he seemed unable to sustain his notes as well (or as long) as he did in the 10th anniversary concert. Still love anything he sings though.

    Every Russell Crowe fan needs to listen to Philip Quast sing Javert. Most especially the Suicide, because no matter how much I personally hate that scene :( (though not the song, the song's amazing when Quast does it, I just hate that he was unable to accept a convict's mercy and was driven to suicide), Quast does it with so much emotion, so much character--a great portrayal of what Javert was thinking and feeling--that I don't how they would be able to like Crowe in that role anymore.

    • @xyzw10

      Marilla Raina I've seen both and, judging by all the conments I have read about "Les miserables", everyone loves the most the performance he watched first. Personally, I adore both of them. Too bad many times people who know nothing about music and acting judge them.

    • @dankhnw8
      @dankhnw8 6 лет назад +2

      I love Russle. You can't exactly compare a musical to a musical based film......different settings all together. I think for a movie Russle was fantastic, acting spot on voice not too shabby (to my untrained ears, I'm no singer so his voice appeals to me) Quast is a freaking legend but peeps should also give Russle his due. I think comparing is a mistake since they are both different settings.

      Crowe's rendition of the Suicide is ok if you watch it as a separate clip. Without that awful sound effect at the end, that is.

    • @spellywelly
      @spellywelly Месяц назад

      Crowe completely misfired with his portrayal of Javert. He gave us a villain. Javert is the Lawful Neutralest Lawful Neutral who ever walked around with a stick up his rear! He's the quintessential example of a character who valued law, order, and authority over merciful justice, without introducing self-serving motives or malice into the equation. He’s crippled by discipline, it’s his metronome and his compass. His whole world is hanging from a very fragile thread of misguided fundamentalism.
      Quast nailed this. He juxtaposes sinister with vulnerability. You really feel the tragedy. We all know Crowe can act so I put this down to an unfortunate miscast!

    I wonder too, especially as he can act aswell as sing, and act off nothing. He's not far off Javet's age in the latter bit of the book either, (I think he PQ is 55)

  • @missrednut
    @missrednut 12 лет назад +2

    Yes I think he is 55. Just seen the trailer for the film at the cinema and to my mind Russel Crowe can sing but just doesn't have the power, beauty and magnificence that Philip Quast does - and that the role calls for. Oh well, I'm hoping that I'll enjoy it anyway...

    An amazing performance. Still, I prefer the version he sang for the 10th anniversary; there was so much more passion and intensity in his delivery. Contrast the line "And so it must be!" in both versions as a comparison.
