Whistle Down The Wind CD

Description: At Christmastime of 1959, three Louisiana children discover a man with bloody hands and feet. Is he Jesus Christ, or is he the convicted murderer reportedly on the loose? This searing question is the basis of Whistle Down the Wind, Andrew Lloyd Webber's long-awaited new musical, and fans will find it worth the wait. A study of the faith of children contrasted with the caution and fear of adults. Lloyd Webber used it as a good excuse to indulge in Rock’n’Roll and gospel. Of course, he provides his usual supply of catchy melodies, including the rousing "Vaults of Heaven", the tender title tune, and the peppy children's number "When Children Rule the World". Long time listeners will also recognize elements from earlier shows--the opening-scene anthem (Aspects of Love), the anguished potential saviour (Jesus Christ Superstar), the climactic manhunt (Phantom of the Opera)--leading to a final collision of musical themes and overheated emotions. Whistle Down the Wind is realized here by its 1998 London cast, including Marcus Lovett as the mysterious man, Lottie Mayor as his most ardent believer, Dean Collinson as a James Dean wannabe, and Veronica Hart as Collinson's girlfriend. The major drawback to this relatively unknown but solid cast is its anomalistic British accents or awkward attempts at American Southern ones. This CD is a rare collectible, new, sealed and never played. Enjoy the show and the listening.
