I heard three of these songs on television and thought this must be a super tape, so I bought the VHS when it came out. Unfortunately, the three songs I heard and saw on TV were the best of the lot. However, that's not imply this isn't a good concert, just the great one I anticipated. I have also seen Crawford in a Las Vegas show and he's quite the showmanThere is a lot of talk between some of the songs, too much at times, but Crawford is an interesting guy and humorous in his storytelling.The two songs I liked the best and heard first on TV were "Not Too Far From Here" and "Music Of The Night." Crawford performs several songs from "Phantom of the Opera" including a really nice duet. In addition he sings several Christian songs and a few more secular songs, all in good voice. The second half of this concert was far better than the first half, IMO.The man has a tremendous voice so no matter what song you hear, it's done well.

Michael Crawford, the English actor whose talented singing voice and acting have entertained me for a very long time. Michael's voice has what is probably the best range out of all living male singers. His lung capacity also impresses me. He is able to hold his notes singing full blast for a very long time, such as in Gehtsemane his opening song. Michael is probably best known for playing the phantom in the original London cast of The Phantom of the Opera. He sings two songs from Phantom in this concert, The Phantom theme and The Music of the Night. If your a fan of Broadway stuff or you just like the sound of a well trained male voice, I think you will enjoy Michael Crawford.

I saw this DVD of the show in the local music place, and I just had to have it. It was Michael Crawford after all - the living, breathing Angel of Music... And I don't just mean this in reference to his role in 'The Phantom Of The Opera'. He is, in my opinion, an angel through and through. His heart, soul and voice is heavenly in origin. Every move he makes, every gesture and every note/word he sings/says is beyond all description. I have yet to meet him, but through the presentation of this concert, it is apparent that it reflects the singer himself. The setting is intimate, sensual, genteel. The songs vary from being gentle love songs to enthusiastic outbursts of joy. There is no other concert like it.

I saw this special when it was broadcast on PBS. All I have to say after seeing it is that Michael Crawford has one of the most entrancing tenor voices I have ever heard. Seeing the special really made me wish that I could have seen "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway with him as the Phantom. His selections from that musical sounded heavenly. His other selections, especially the Irish music, were also beautiful. I only wish my local video store had this in stock so I could rent it sometime.
