There's so much love and depression that Crawford's pace captures perfectly. It's unbelievably moving.

That high note still causes me to hold my breath, and the chills still shake my spine, especially when he sings the next line: "only then can you belong to me". The ethereal beauty, the power, the pain... they are all there, unmistakably, in one magnificent performance. Michael, no one can touch you.

If anyone has ever had the wonderful chance of meeting him in person you realize this is a man that gives 1000% to everything he does. Genuine, humble and so gracious and giving. Moved to tears when something touches his heart and not afraid to show it. Love everything he has ever done!

Nobody has answered you. I will. I have and never will forget that evening. I tried like hell to get out of going to see it at the LA Music Center as my wife and I were in the process of separating but no luck as my in-laws, who were patrons, had a long and elaborate formal evening planned for months. For this venue Michael performed with Dale Christian and my seat was directly under where the chandelier settled after coming off the stage. I worried about that. I was absolutely stunned by the flawless professionalism of all the players and crew but the voices of the two were beyond anything I've heard to date in a recording and Michael's voice was much more powerful and far reaching in range, live, than what you hear here. All I knew of Michael Crawford prior to this was that he had minor roles in western movies. Needles to say, I have been a devotee of Michael's music ever since that evening. As an aside, I have mentally been kicking myself in the rear every time I remember almost talking my way out of going to this performance, like now. Happy Thanksgiving-Tim (I see you perform in NYC. You may know Michael Rupert?)

He's much older now, but there was a depth and passion in him that is still palpable, even at his age. He cried both times. Literally cried! That was incredible to see. I can only imagine what that energy and voice would be like to see live in Phantom! I would give anything to have seen him. There aren't any really clear recordings of him doing it live, so I can only imagine. Yes. Michael will always be my most favorite performer and singer. His work and his voice hold a special place in my life! I was a newborn baby when he first took the stage on Broadway. I think my parents saw him, but neither of them remember much!

Michael and Sarah both paved the way and made the Phantom the hit that carries on today yet 26 yrs later and still counting. Thank you for this video.

First & Best Phantom ever. I feel his "The music of the night" is sweeter & sadder than Ramin's.

I don't know how he is able to pull of this song the way he does, it's incredible honestly. I adore his singing, he's able to do whatever he wants with his voice and still be absolutely unique. This is stunning work, stunning.

Hypnotic. Utterly hypnotic. There is a tenderness and wonder in that voice that I havent heard in others, how do you not fall in love with the Phantom after hearing this?

No matter who else sings "The Music of the Night" - and I've heard 3 different Phantoms and several other singers perform it - it will always be Michael Crawford's song.

With Michael it’s the whole performance. Acting and not just about the voice. Nice to see people still talking about Michael being the Phantom after all these years. No Ramin and Sierra here. I was at the very first performance and Michael blew me away. Still can feel the chills. Beautiful performance. The mannerisms - Look at his fingers the contoured mouth. The ultimate performer. Seen him in Wizard of Oz and Barnum as well.

Many have played the Phantom and down very well and give great performances but there is only one that is THE PHANTOM. Michael Crawford is THE PHANTOM. No one can player the role better than him. NO ONE.

This is actually false- Phantom of the Opera was written for Colm Wilkinson, but he had already signed on for Les Miserables and couldn't do it.
