whooooa there, careful! :)

[ajodasso.livejournal.com]

It's still the best.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

i have great affection for both.

[ajodasso.livejournal.com]

My second favorite recording is one of the bootlegs I have. Franc D'Ambrosio and Lisa Vroman, from the long run in San Fransisco.

:eyebrow wriggle: what, the whole thing?

[ajodasso.livejournal.com]

No, but all the major highlight numbers and the entire Lair scene, you bet.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

hmmm... could you upload one so i can see what it sounds like? a duet perhaps?

:bats lashes:

[ajodasso.livejournal.com]

It's at home in PA with my other bootlegs, and they're all on cassette tape because it was the early to mid 90s that I was getting them. I'm not sure how I'd even begin to go about putting them onto a computer :(

[cimness.livejournal.com]

oh, yeah, i have no idea either. bummer. are they noticably different in some specific way?

[ajodasso.livejournal.com]

Mostly it's Franc's voice...he's just spectacular. He has something in common with Crawford in that his tone quality is that almost...ethereal sort of different, you know? Only in a different way from how Crawford's is. I almost can't explain.

i LIKE crawford, but the hardcore fangirls baffle me. i mean: nice voice, but *i* wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it belonged to an angel. it's sort of spooky perhaps, which is very appropriate for a phantom, and powerful. okay, maybe i like it a lot. just not OMGHOWCOULDYOUCASTSOMEBODYELSE much.

[ajodasso.livejournal.com]

I've seen two Phantoms I think have done as good a job as Crawford (if not better, in one case). The trouble with Crawford is, I love his voice, but I never saw him in action, just heard rumors that he moved as well on stage as he did anything else, which set the standard kind of high.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

hm. i've never seen it either, so i can't speak to anything but the sound. :/

i have a recording of "close every door" by him that i just really really adore though. i always prefer minor keys.
