He's such a gifted man and a gift to the whole world...

If there is a silver lining to the COVID-19 cloud, it would be wonderful offerings from brilliant people like this. Thank you!

[@thomasschirz2389]

Saw Cats and Phantom in one Broadway binge, my 4th grader wept as we came out of the second show. She said “Dad, I didn’t know music could make me cry”. Thirty years later she’s a piano and keyboard teacher to the children of Hollywood stars. Thank you Sir Andrew.

[@jesusestrada869]

Just as I adore hearing Francesco Perrino's virtuoso performance of this piece, the composer's performance of his own music makes my blood flow just as quickly.

[@ArchFundy]

When most of the music of the 20th century has long been forgotten, this man's music will pass the test of time and echo in the halls of the ages. Thank you Andrew.

[@ColonialHistory]

When its all sorted people will discover that he stole every melody from better geniuses like Ravell since 'Memory' is simply a slower arrangement of the Balero !!!!!!...kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJqVgpuGbLGCrqs

[@b.d6642]

@@ColonialHistory memory is actually from a cancelled alw musical about two famous opera composers (i can't remember their names), maybe that's why it sounds similar?

[@ColonialHistory]

@@b.d6642 Ravel wrote the Bolero in 1928 ...'Memory' is just a slowed version without the percussion. Webber STOLE everything.

"Wishing you were somehow here again".. another favourite And Music of the Night,.... Makes me tingly...Lol... Of course Phantom of the Opera....the Music is stunning Many have sung them... But I still adore Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford..... CLASSIC... When we get out of this lockdown, I would love to go to the Theatre.....And indulge .....

Had a wonderful night last night watching Phantom of the opera such a magnificent show. We turned the lights down had a glass of vino it was pure magic. Thank you Mr Andrew Lloyd Webber and cast.

[@soulofapoetmarianburtoi1834]

That piece of music touches me to the bottom of my soul.So sensitive!It's one of my favourites from Cat's musical.I ve heard Elaine Paige singing that part.Lyrics are gorgeous,and all costumes.....magnificent.I've heard the same piece in the train station,in Carlisle,where an orchestra was singing Saturday,right before Easter,this year.It was the most emotional welcome that I ve received in a train station. wonderful idea!❤Mary Ann

[@CrystalTwinStar]

To hear this rendered by the composer in the intimate setting of his own home; just him and his piano... ...sigh... Other than breath~taking, ] have no words. Thank you❤

Cats was the first musical I ever saw. My husband took me when we were first married, back when he was an "E-I owe ya one" in the Navy. We lived on a HALF a shoestring budget. 😺 But he managed to get tix and I was elated. Cats is still my favorite. Thank you, Mr. Webber, for sharing. It's beautiful!

[@calikokat100]

i luv playing this music :)

[@IanRob2011]

Lol, I do not have a vocal range! My husband told me to be quiet in church. Lovely music and I adore that you are the one man playing for us. Makes us feel special. Blessings from California

[@dramadebi]

I got to see Cats right after it opened on Broadway. I took 40 kids from Oklahoma to this show. It was life changing for us all Betty Buckley, Terence Mann. Just transformative. Bravo.Debi LA/Dallas

[@jordsupp]

Was lucky enough to see Cats in London when it first opened. I'd forgotten how mindblowing it was to walk into a rubbish dump, feeling about the same size as a cat. It was quite a revolutionary bit of staging.

[@normanriches0516]

Thank you for sharing ,Wonderful,

[@francescacastiglione7094]

I performed this as a solo so many years ago in 1986 during a HS choir concert. I’ll never forget the lyrics or that special performance where I earned a standing ovation. Your music will always mean the world to me, Mr Webber!

Andrew is not only the best composer in modern time but also an excellent pianist a rare talented and gifted man a gift from God to UK and to the world . I am obsessed with his music , I sing them play them on piano violin harp guitar and cello. Imagine play the music you composed yourself , hope one day I can do that too.

I adore the musical CATS! Thank you so much for taking T.S.Elliots poems and composing music for them to create my favourite musical of all time. >^.".^< "meow"

[@selenagoring3820]

Thank you so much for releasing the Phantom of the Opera. I've watched it over and over bawling my eyes out (in a good way). Colm Wilkinson is my phantom, watched him when I was 12 at the Pantages in Toronto. What wonderful memories this brings up. Your music is absolutely beautiful you are a one of a kind talent. Thank you for allowing me to forget about this quarantine and relive better times. Much love from Canada.

[@andyleclerc3600]

This was the first of your musicals I ever saw live. It was a national tour playing Providence, 30 years ago next month. CATS had me at JELLICLE SONGS FOR JELLICLE CATS. A fun song, by any standard. That night I discovered how you could do just about any style of music, and became a fan of your musicals. I snapped up any cast album I could find, and played them over and over😎. And here I am 30 years on, and getting to tell you how much your music became a part of my life. Thank you!!!🎶🎶🎶😊😊😊

Hi Sir Andrew. I have been a fan of your compositions since I was a little girl, since my father introduced me to The Sound of Music. I hope you are doing well during these days. I love this song from Cats. I hope you played the song that Rusty and Pearl sang, Starlight Express. It always a dream of mine to watch that Broadway live. Thank you and more power!

[@alteredegosinc]

Cats is my absolute favorite show of yours (Phantom is a close second), and I've seen it over a dozen times throughout the last 25 years. Some friends and I have front row tickets to see the US Tour next month, but it's been postponed due to the virus. So this was beyond lovely to hear from you. Thank you so much...words can't express my gratitude.

A pleasure to hear from the MASTER these magnificent chords. I had the opportunity to see Cat's in Paris and in New York. Thanks for such magnificent works Andrew. I'am from Argentina

[@camgus6513]

The first musical I saw made by you was Cats back in the 80’s and then later when I moved to England I saw The Phantom of the Opera in London and I loved it, although the ending was sad 😢 I love 💖 so many of your “old” songs, but would love to hear Pie Jesu 😢, Love Changes Everything 💞and I’d be Amazingly Good for You. 💕

I saw CATS in NYC in the early nineties with my high school band classmates. It was so mesmerizing to see that show! I was a dancer and so of course I dreamed of the role of the white cat. But it was a fantastic experience to see that show when I was young! Just love your music!!

I saw Cats on stage in Edinburgh a few years ago. Those people in the cat costumes were amazing, the way they writhed and contorted themselves. It was wonderful to see their gymnastical ability.

[@mirellanor1497]

Thanks sir Andrew. It's great watching a great composer playing his own compositions. You bring so much sensitivity to your playing. Teaches us all how your music should be played. I was listening to Evita - the original recording of 1977- and I have finally decided its my favourite. So many delightful songs
