The dense essence of early rock opera
This is a collection of rare early recordings of Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterpiece, dramatically reconstructed by a talented cast including Mike Trauns.
Sharp brass sounds ring out, dramatically opening the fusion of rock and biblical themes. In Mike Trounce's "Heaven On Their Minds," distorted guitars race about, fueling a sense of urgency. The vibrant interplay of Martin Jay's lustrous vocals and the majestic chorus in "Hosanna" is a highlight. Bruce Baxter's baton leads a weighty ensemble that cuts sharply into the heart of the story.
