Phantasia - The Phantom of the Opera - Another Great Version Full Length

[@TheaterRaven]

When the violin came in at 28:30, my heart broke and I immediately thought of this quote from the book: "Poor, unhappy Erik [the Phantom]! He had a heart that could have held the empire of the world, but in the end, he had to content himself with a cellar."

[@mjrtaurus2714]

+TheaterRaven Shall we pity him?

[@TheaterRaven]

+MJR Taurus Indeed. :( I for one do. To me, "Phantom" is a cautionary tale about a child who grows up to inherit the role of the monster people first assumed he'd be. And, while I love a lot of the films and the musical, there hasn't really been a version that captures that, in my opinion; everyone treats it either as a love triangle story or, worse yet, a straight-up horror tale, playing off of Erik's deformity, which totally misses the point of things.

[@magorzatadawidowska628]

+TheaterRaven Thank you, how nice to meet someone who can look deeply and sees the things at the right side. I can't agree with everyone who writers about Erik only: monster, stalker, murderer, psycho, obsessive man and others. Just thinking like a mob. Any kind word? Try to live like he must have to live and then try to say something about it. If people want to see someone worse , it's hard to believe that is not the truth. Erik deserves to get love , happiness and acceptance. Like many others.

[@Qamila1]

So relieved to see someone else sees this story differently than most have. But I don't see him as a monster at all. I see a man who's too passionate for this world. A man who's been judged not by his heart but by his appearance.

My wife and i got married to all i ask of you (this version). In the catacombs of a brewery that was entirely candle light. Every time i hear this i think of that beautiful day.

[@FirstnameLastname-lv2nx]

[@pinesmotion-picturespresents]

Makes me think of ALL Versions of The Phantom Of The Opera. Books, Movies, etc. I see them all in this music.

[@rhyanshelby6572]

This has been my homework music for 7 years. It's a perfect amount of time for me to be able to concentrate and get up for a short break when it's over. Because it's always this medley my brain hears it and knows it's time to focus...unfortunately I can't watch Phantom anymore without my brain trying to do something terrible like math

[@madeleinevogelaar6092]

True! Except every so often I have to stop because my eyes well up with tears and my arms get all goosebumpy

[@gregdabrat]

Yeah, this is better for homework than the real version because there is no music

[@ernshaw78]

I still listen at least once a month to all the various arrangements and this version is ASTOUNDING.

[@phantomvideowatcher]

Same. I have been returning to this for years for homework because it makes something unbearable like homework, bareable. Though sometimes it’s distracting when the words or the images come to mind.

[@mazelisgroup]

@@gregdabrat What???

[@vivienne1904]

14:51-15:20 "Yet in his eyes all the sadness of the world. Those pleading eyes that both threatened and adored." Gosh! I'm so moved by these few seconds, wish it could be longer.

[@kg17sw98]

After eight years of being a phan, I didn't think I could love the music anymore than I already do. Guess I was wrong...this is so freaking beautiful and amazing!

[@愛好者魅影]

[@xxeruss3080]

I've been reading all of these comments about how beautiful 28:00 was, but I didn't expect how emotional and breathtaking it would be. I honestly thought it would just be another part of the arrangement, but I actually just started crying out of nowhere. Maybe it's because it reminded me of growing up around the musical, but it was the biggest and most painful wave of nostalgia I have ever experienced. I don't know how I feel right now.

[@deliciousfailure2590]

20:08-21:59 Am I the only one that wishes there was more of this beautifully terrifying music?

[@Sam-xg3mr]

That moment right at 20:30 that's the bit from when he crashes the masquerade in the Red Death costume is the most horrifying and sinister rendition of that part I've ever heard. So good.

[@Fluttyyy]

27:00 - 28:11 Okay, please tell me I'm not the only one who loved this part. The final lair always gives me chills. (Even the actual song with them singing was powerful!)

[@ThePaikMan]

you still listening to this?

[@hsiehrachel]

Paikea Haraki I also like this part very much! Do you know which original song is this part from? Thank you!

[@ThePaikMan]

@@hsiehrachel Yes my friend it is called ''The Point of No Return - continued''

[@hsiehrachel]

Paikea Haraki Thank you very much!

[@oliviaswanson3018]

Balled like a baby at this part when I first saw it... so emotional when they all sing together.

[@mouzaalmualla3084]

the "no one would listen" part with the violin solo at 24:12 was so beautiful, it brought me to tears!

[@juliapitarresi]

It really reminds me of the book and Christine's character. I love this.

[@plainvanillabeanasmr]

It really warmed my heart~ ♡♡

[@juanmanuelhernandezalvarez533]

No one would listen? Isn´t it something like "Child of the wilderness" or "Learn to be lonely"?

[@madox4061]

@@juanmanuelhernandezalvarez533 Both. It's a deleted song called 'no one would listen' that the phantom was gonna sing, and then the used it for the credits with different lyrics, and that version is called 'learn to be lonely'

[@HM-fx9mv]

I'm writing an essay on the Phantom novel and this piece is keeping me motivated the whole while through. It's absolutely gorgeous and keeps me in the zone so well. Genius

[@queenmaoasada8447]

Aspen Wakefield LOL I was here thinking of Akiko and Yuzu and... Golly, sooooo many. But it's damn-fine skating music. Gracie's Phantom program didn't work for me though :-/ I think she recently tweeted that it was her least favorite of all her competitive programs

[@queenmaoasada8447]

Aspen Wakefield At the climax of Akiko's 2013-14 FS, when she throws her arm up mid-spiral to emphasize the music... God she had such amazing interpretation and was so underrated.

[@peacelove8904]

Wonderful, delicate, magical... The arrangements and melodies are perfect. I was very young when I knew the original piece, and I got hypnotized by. I was transported to a magical melancholic romantic fantastic world! Then, listening to this... what a beautiful and lovely version. I love you Lloyd-Webber family for giving us such a gift!

[@yjjy1401]

Omg i never knew a musical for POTO existed, yet good gracious i was blessed with ALW's generous soul last week! Although i'm lowkey upset many aspects of the rendition was flawed or incomplete, it's pretty amazing to see how musicals can incorporate both plot and sentimental dialogue so conveniently. Hats down! The musical deserves mpre than just praise! Overall, the music and acting was the best and both were able to translate the atmosphere of each scene of the story. Never have i ever been so immersed by such a profound melody, and never was any 21st century film able to capture the intricacy of the intellectual dialogue and expression of 19th century classical stories, of which is prominently the fashion of their climax. It's proved futile so far of any cinematic film adoptions to incorporate the dramaticism of 19th century classics without unnecessarily having to abbreviate their significance of speech for the sake of a fast-pace narrative; that would, essentially, obliterate the moral of the story.

[@williambillings6972]

The point-counterpoint of the two instruments is fascinating, and easily conjures images of the characters' performances. I first saw Phantom with a woman with whom I was very much in love. That love, and the Phantom's love for Christine were indistinguishable, and Lloyd Webber's music is, more that 25 years later a revisiting of the agony, and ecstasy of such love.

[@joshuadshepherd]

This is fantastic. Just happened upon it by chance. Really great orchestrations and solo part writing. Thank you for sharing and posting.

Considering adding this to my Halloween playlist, because I LOVE Phantom music. I would love to see it on stage at least once in my life. If anyone is interested, I know of a couple of wicked talented fan-artists who have put together, in my opinion, phenomenal takes on some of the more iconic songs. And no, they aren't Sarah Brightman or any other big name, but I dare say that their love for their craft puts them as close contenders if nothing else.
