Orchestrations: David Cullen and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

National Symphony Orchestra Conducted By Martin Yates

The booklet contains a small B&W head picture of the cast members.

Actually, apart from the orchestra that is really nice here, I think this recording has no real interest. Ethan Freeman is not really bad, but compared to Michael Crawford's performance, his voice seems to be too present, or maybe too old, I don't know. I have nothing to say about Claire Moore, she's really nice. John Barrowman's performance rather deceived me, somtimes, I think he's more shouting than singing, or that his microphone was broken.

About the Sunset Boulevard songs, I've found Kim Criswell's performance very nice, at least as good as Patti LuPone's one. Graham Bickley is also perfect in the role of Joe Gillis.
