simply brilliant - better than the German

Phantom of the Opera is simply the musical classic. when I learned that it is a movie I was overjoyed. the cd is simply super. especially my new overture like it very much.
Now to why the English version is better than the German:
Uwe Kroeger sings the phantom in the German version. nothing against him, as a death in Elizabeth, he is just fantastic. no question. but as a phantom he's just too young. you can hear it in his voice. which just does not fit for phantom. who read the book know has what I mean.
and the new song "Learn to be Lonely" is just awesome. beautifully sung by Minnie Driver.
for every phantom-fan this CD is a must !!!!!!!!!!!!!
