Phantom Vocal Selections (Piano) [Paperback] Review

I have seen the Lloyd Webber version two times and the Yeston version four.There is no way that the Lloyd Webber version can match up to the Yeston version.In this book you learn more about the character of Erik,he has a sense of humor, an aching heart, and a love for Christine.Youlearn how he met Christine, who his parents are and why he loves Christine. The Lloyd Webber version is spectacular and I will always love it, but itis very vaugue, and for those who wish to know Erik (the Phantom) this is avery good book to read.

The songs of the haunting and lyrical cycle follow the arc of a woman's emotional journey after the end of a serious relationship. Written in an accessible idiom that is a mixture of classical and Broadway, Yeston melds music and lyrics into a 35-minute exploration of how we continue with our lives after the most painful experiences.

Product Description:
Now back in print, this book matches the work commissioned for Andrea Marcovicci by the Carnegie Hall Corporation in honor of Carnegie Hall's Centennial Season. The premier was given in Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall on April 16, 1991. It is a song cycle in the American cabaret tradition, written in reaction to Schubert's Die Winterreise (a woman struggles to get over a devastating love affair). The songbook also features complete lyrics and a separate lyric section, notes on "December Songs" by Bernard Jacobson, and a bio of composer Maury Yeston.
