## Description

Product Description A performance of Les Miserables by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall, for a 10th Anniversary Concert celebration. desertcart.com The 10th anniversary concert video of the international musical sensation Les Misérables might be the best thing to appease fans until a full-fledged movie comes along. Or it might be even better, as feature films are often subject to extramusical casting considerations and this 1995 dream cast is superb. Reprising their roles from the original London company are Colm Wilkinson (Valjean), Michael Ball (Marius), and Alun Armstrong (Thenardier). From Broadway come Judy Kuhn (Cosette), Lea Salonga (Eponine), and Michael Maguire (Enjolras); from a later London production comes Ruthie Henshall (Fantine); and from Australia comes Philip Quast (Javert). Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's score vividly captures the passion of Victor Hugo's epic tale of post-Revolutionary France, combining tear-jerking ballads ("I Dreamed a Dream," "Bring Him Home") and rousing anthems ("Do You Hear the People Sing"). The format of this concert is closer to that of a dramatic cantata rather than a fully staged production; the singers stand at their microphone stands with an orchestra and chorus behind them, but they do wear costumes and participate in some movement. At certain points such as the climax of the barricade scene, the video switches to action from a stage production. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra sounds great, and it can be thrilling when 200 choristers (dressed in logo T-shirts) rise to their feet for a full-company number such as "One Day More." Also, subtitles provide date and scene information and help move the story along. The 147-minute video contains footage not seen when Les Mis was a PBS pledge-drive staple, most notably the encore in which a progression of 17 actors who have played Valjean around the world share "Do You Hear the People Sing?" Each sings a line in his native language, a testament to the enduring power of this show to audiences everywhere. --David Horiuchi DVD features The 2008 two-disc edition presents the concert on a single-sided disc (the original DVD split the concert over two sides) with optional English subtitles. It's also in anamorphic widescreen (1.78:1 aspect ratio) comparied to the original's 1.33 full-screen. The second disc has Stage by Stage: Les Miserables , the hourlong documentary from 1988. Unfortunately the sound is only Dolby Digital 2.0. Early editions of the DVD had an odd omission (compared to the earlier Sony DVD)--the first 10 seconds of Gavroche's "Little People" were missing ("Good evening, dear inspector, lovely evening, my dear...")--that has now been corrected. --David Horiuchi

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING!!!!! A MUST HAVE FOR ANY LES MIS FAN!!!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States November 22, 2011*

Honestly words cant even describe how AMAZING this concert it! I have seen the Broadway musical twice (and am going to see it again in January)...and although this is only a concert of the songs its still incredible (especially if you have surround sound!!). All the "favorites" return to the stage for an incredible performance and WORDS just dont do it justice!! I have been a HUGE Les Mis fan since I was about 8 yrs old (25 years ago!!) and honestly I dont know why it took me so long to purchase this DVD!! It's the best thing we will have until they release the ACTUAL musical (start to finish).Although it was made in 1995 (as you can tell when they pan to the audience...what WERE we thinking in the 90's? Our fashion sense was SERIOUSLY lacking back then! LOL) its a MUST HAVE for any true Les Mis fan! Colm Wilkinson reprises his role as the most LOVED Valjean that we've had. The Master of the House (Thenardier - played by Alun Armstrong) and his wife were comical as always and never ceases to crack me up!! I'm not the biggest fan of Judy Kuhn (Cosette) but I guess you cant always please everyone! Lea Salonga (Eponine) was awesome...she has always been my favorite character and I SWORE I was going to play the part of Eponine on Broadway when I grew up! LOL :) Fantine (Ruthie Henshall) was great but the wig they had on her was hard to ignore (it was NOT very attractive at ALL!). Australia's Philip Quast reprised his role as Javert and blew me away with his voice and talent!!Even though they did not perform the musical (and only sang, dressed in costume, standing at microphones) the cast still stayed in character and conveyed the FEELING in each song wonderfully! It doesn't matter how many times I see the production, I still ALWAYS cry during Fantine's death....Eponine's death...and of course Valjean's death. Colm Wilkinson sang "Bring Him Home" more beautiful than I could ever put into words.One of my favorite moments in this DVD was at the very end when SEVENTEEN of the "Valjeans" from world-wide performances all came up on stage and sang "One Day More." It was really awesome as each Valjean took a turn at the microphone, singing in many different languages! It was a very moving performance and such a treat for fans!The orchestra and chorus of what I would say was over a HUNDRED singers was phenomenal! After watching this DVD I am SUPER excited to see the full-fledged performance again in January!! It's also given me the opportunity to watch it with my oldest daughter (age 18) and husband so that I could explain the story and help them understand what was going on. Now when they go to see the Broadway musical they will be able to follow the storyline and understand it much better...which will help them to ENJOY it more as well!The ONLY negatives that I have are:~During (young) Cosette's song, "Castle On A Cloud" someone dropped a book or something and it was LOUD making Cosette jump a bit b/c it startled her.~They have YET to release a DVD of the ACTUAL musical....and I am still wondering WHY!?~If I wasn't there to explain what was going on to my husband and daughter, it would have been a little hard for them to follow. It would have been nice to get a booklet that EXPLAINED the story a bit (like they have in the CD's)...instead of a booklet with nothing but pics of the musical.If you are a Les Mis fan then you shouldn't wait....just BUY this DVD. You will NOT be disappointed!! :)

When Victor Hugo wrote Les Miserables [The Wretched, The Poor ones, The Victims] little did he realize he was writing a timeless work, translated into every language, made into movies and a theatre production that has played with a consistently sold out audience.Victor Hugo, born on February 26th, 1802, died on May 22nd, 1885, lived for 83 years; for the most part, dedicated to writing poetry, novels and essays. Among many of his works, Les contemplations [contemplations] and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are well known and have also been made into movies. Victor Hugo's childhood was lived through tumultuous events; the overthrow of the Bourbon Dynasty in the French Revolution, the rise and fall of the First Republic and the rise of the First French Empire and dictatorship under Napoleon Bonaparte.Victor Hugo conceived the idea of writing a novel about social injustice but it took him over 17 years to complete Les Miserables; a 1200 page book about the struggle of an ex-convict Jean Valjean as he attempts to redeem the sins of the past. The book is magnificent for it transcends time, making generations of readers identify with the characters and their plea. The play brings to life the social injustice lived by many in France and the songs are written with such depth of understanding of human behavior that as we sit to listen and watch this musical, we can not help it but be captivated by the performance.At first, we thought we were getting the whole play, only to realize that we had all the songs in the sequence of the play and a finale that is breathtaking, for they bring those that interpret Jean Valjean's from all over the world and they unite to sing, each in their native language the famous closing song that calls for a crying rally as it asks "do you hear the people sing lost in the valley of the night? It is the music of the people who are climbing to the light. For the wretched of the earth, there is a fame that never dies even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. They will live again freedom in the garden of the Lord, they will walk behind the ploughshare; they will put away the sword, the chain will be broken and all men will have their reward. Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Somewhere beyond the barricade, is there a world you long to see? Do you hear the people sing? Say, do you hear the distant drums? Is it the future that they bring when tomorrow comes!"The cast is the original London Company: Colm Wilkinson as Valjean, Michael Ball as Marius, Philip Quast as Javert, Judy Kuhn as Cosette and Ruthie Henshall as Fantine.Depending on the mood of the day, these songs can make you cry, like "I dreamed a dream" and "Empty Chairs at empty tables." We recently had a death in the family and these words simply overwhelmed us when we heard: "there is a grief that can't be spoken, there is a pain goes on and on, empty chairs at empty tables, now my friends are dead and gone."Therefore, if you enjoy this timeless classic, this DVD is for you. Our favorite feature is the lyrics can be played as subtitles that allowed us to sing along. Superb, don't miss it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy this DVD rather than the 25th Anniversary Concert!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States March 13, 2011*

I am so glad I bought this DVD before buying the 25th anniversary concert - it is fantastic and the cast is infinitely better! I've read other reviews about the quality of the 10th Anniversary DVD but I think the picture and sound are fine. I bought this about two months ago when I saw that the 25th anniversary concert had been released. I purchased this concert because I saw that Colm Wilkinson was Jean Valjean and I had seen him in the live musical in London in 1991 and he will forever be the definitive Jean Valjean to me. Also, the end of the performance with many different actors who portrayed Jean Valjean in different countries around the world joining Colm Wilkinson on stage to sing "Do you hear the people sing" together with lines from all their native languages is stunningly beautiful and moving. The entire ensemble of actors really is a dream cast (with the possible exception of Ruthie Henshall as Fantine - she was very good but I did miss Patti Lupone who I think was an amazing Fantine in London and on Broadway). However, that small nitpick aside, the cast is just stand-out after stand-out. Particularly spectacular performances are given by Phillip Quast as Javert and the absolute delight of Alun Armstrong as Thenardier - his rendition of "Master of the House" is a truly joyful experience that should not be missed by anyone who is a true fan of the musical - the entire stage of actors who are behind Alun as he sings that song are visibly delighted and enjoying his rendition of that song as much as the audience. Conversely, the 25th Anniversary edition concert is a true disappointment - the cast is just not as strong all the way across the board. I am a person who LOVES the live musical - I've seen it twice in London and twice on Broadway and if you're like me and are just a true fan of the musical, the 10th Anniversary dream cast concert is a must. It is a joy to watch and makes me happy and inspired every time I watch it and I really believe others will feel the same way!
