Webber Andrew Lloyd - The Platinum Collection 2CD

Jeden z nejúspěšnějších skladatelů moderní éry Andrew Lloyd Webber při příležitosti oslavy sedmdesátých narozenin vydává desku Unmasked: The Platinum Collection, která je plná hitů z pera Krále muzikálů. Na albu, které vzniklo v kultovních Abbey Road Studios, se objeví melodie například z Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Phantom of The Opera nebo Sunset Boulevard v podání hlasů, jako jsou Beyoncé, Gregory Porter, Lana Del Rey nebo Madonna. Kompilace sleduje celou Webberovu kariéru trvající již pět dekád od prvního uvedeného muzikálu Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat z roku 1968 až po současnou School of Rock. Na desce se vyjma dobře známých skladeb, které byly oceněny mnoha „standing ovations”, objeví nové orchestrální suity a nové verze skladeb v podání Nicole Scherzinger (Memory z Cats), Gregoryho Portera (Light at the End of the Tunnel ze Starlight Express) a Lany Del Rey (You Must Be Love z Evity) společně s nikdy nevydanou písní Learn To Be Lonely, kterou za doprovodu Webberova klavíru zpívala Beyoncé na Academy Awards 2005. „Andrew je ikona nejenom muzikálů, je rovněž ikonou hudby, naší kultury a vůbec celého lidstva.” - Gregory Porter Unmasked: The Platinum Collection je dostupné jako 2 CD a 4 CD edice. 4 CD obsahuje exkluzivní 40stránkovou knihu, která skrze slova respektovaného divadelního kritika Michaela Coveneyho do hloubky přibližuje každou skladbu.
