Convincing Interpretation

One does this soundtrack wrong, when compared with the recordings of stage performances. The critics who are bothered by the lack of professionalism of the vote should bear in mind that this just is not a stage version, but a mainstream film that additionally aims to attract a completely different audience.
For this, however, the soundtrack is absolutely first class. The quality is perfect and also was emotional cut, the film lacks only about 20 minutes. Webber had to expand the score, which was truly realized very harmonious by a large orchestra. The increase in the famous "Phantom of the Opera" by anyway upbeat on now quite trendy would have done not necessary, but too bad it is not. The rest of the soundtrack comforts away over it, and these are, after all, good 115 minutes.
Minnie Driver has better synchronize the same of a 'real' soprano what was necessary for their part. Emmy Rossum convinced at one point even with a small Coloratursopran inlay. Her voice is not only trained for many years, she has talent. One suspects the first no 16-year-old teenager, even though the voice of an older woman will certainly sound more mature.
Patrick Wilson looks back on many years of experience on stage, you can hear that, he does his job very well. Although its role has been expanded amply for the film, he goes mE under a little. Apart from the classic duet "All I Ask of You" impressed unfortunately nothing from him a. The main reason is its rival to the woman as to the vocal presence:
Gerard Butler, with singing lessons exclusively for this film, and accordingly without any experience, rushes with tremendous verve in his role as Phantom and allows us to share with almost every note sung at the whole range of his emotions. Especially Opera experienced ears to hear with him - unlike Rossum and Wilson - the same that he is not a professional singer, but, to put it bluntly, so what. Butler interpretation of theater terrorists shuns neither tantrums and insults yet alluring puffs or tears. A professional opera voice would therefore certainly their problems (or someone has something you heard on stage?). Butlers soft, smoky rock'n'roll Tenor (Zit. Webber) has not this problem. Who can get used to this voice, can also enjoy their incredibly intense expression that not just a madman is that sets his fellows ever pressurized or kills, but also the other, the injured, gentle side over brings stunning.
However, one can phantom interpret. That may surprise some so frightening or (v), but this very unusual voice it is that makes the soundtrack for those who already have other versions of them a valuable addition to your CD collection. He is sustained remember a wonderful evening at the cinema. If you've seen the movie. But please only in the OV.
