Editorial Review:

Album Details:
2005 Digitally Remastered Edition (At Abbey Road Studios) of the Original London Cast Album of the Critically Acclaimed Cast of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's Hit Musical that Launched the Career of Michael Ball. Includes Full Libretto and Deluxe Packaging.

Amazon.com:
Fresh off the smash success of The Phantom of the Opera, it seemed Andrew Lloyd Webber could do no wrong in 1989. That is, until he collaborated with lyricists Don Black and Charles Hart on Aspects of Love, a decidedly down-to-earth story (based on David Garnett's short novel) involving various love triangles and quadrangles that left audiences cold. That said, however, it does contain some extremely beautiful, intimate music. The opening anthem, "Love Changes Everything," is almost a standard, and the duet "Seeing Is Believing," with its string accompaniment, is almost achingly gorgeous. In this original London cast recording, Michael Ball, coming off his own triumph in Les Misérables, delivers his usual strong-voiced, oh-so-earnest performance, while Ann Crumb, Kevin Colson, and Diana Morrison contribute in the most significant roles of their careers. --David Horiuchi



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - EXCELLENT !
Andrew Lloyd Webber made it again. Much better than the overrated CATS, this musical brings some memorable songs such as "Love Changes Everything" and "Seeing is Believing" wich are oftenly found in Broadway selection albums. Besides, the story is very attractive and the staging seems to have been very suggestive, despite being a "chamber" musical. It's a pity that it became a flop.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Absolutely Stunning
so i guess i owe andrew lloyd webber for getting me into musicals with the phantom of the opera. at first i didnt really branch out too far from there. i mean i listened to and fell in love with cats and evita, but those are pretty general and most have at least heard memory or dont cry for me argentina. after those i started to branch out more and eventually came back to lloyd webber with aspects of love.

at first i was pretty reluctant. i mean the reviews overall and here on amazon were fairly negative. but some said that if u give this musical a chance it wont dissapoint, so after a LOT of thinking, pondering, and reading i finally said what the hell and just ordered it. well i certainly wasnt dissapointed.

andrew lloyd webber comes up with a stirring and moving ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Gorgeous Music, Lousy Story
The ONLY reason this CD rates 3 stars is because of the quality of the music--and even that is wildly uneven. The main songs--Love Changes Everything, Seeing is Believing, Other Pleasures, Anything But Lonely--are as good as anything ALW has ever done, and the orchestrations, simple yet almost unbearably elegant, generally surpass any he has done before or since. (Yes, that includes Phantom.) Even the less developed musical themes are beautiful, such as the "pastoral instrumental" found about halfway through Act 2. (The same music used for Alex and Rose's dressing room reunion at the beginning of that act.)

However...the story (which ALW did not write, to his credit, but he did use it, as well as taking book credit, so that goes on his record) is a real shambles. The action ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Stunningly gorgeous music. In terms of sheer beauty, this gets an "A+".
Many of Andrew Lloyd Webbers critics get a kick in reminding his fans that this show was a massive flop on Broadway. However, several of them have committed the unthinkable by actually admitting that the music is...well, beautiful.

Having seen this show in Toronto back in 1992, I fell in love, not with the actual stage production or the story but the ravishingly beautiful score. I remember closing my eyes many times throughout the performance just so I can soak in those fetching melodies.


ASPECTS OF LOVE is a rather messed up love story. The main characters are Alex (Michael Ball), a young man who falls in love with Rose (Ann Crumb), an older woman who is also a struggling actress. Later Rose dumps Alex and marries his much older uncle George. They end up having ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - AN IMPROVED RELEASE OF ALW'S INTIMATE CHAMBER PIECE
When "Aspects of love" premiered in April 1989 in London, wide audiences knew Andrew Lloyd Webber mostly by his big blockbuster musicals such as "Cats", "The Phantom of the opera" or "Evita. After the "Phantom", the composer decided to try something new, much in the same way he has done with "Cats" in the early 80-is after he decided to part ways with his lyricist Tim Rice. As the basis for his next musical he chose David Garnett's short novel of the same title.

The plot involves various love triangles and is as close to a soap opera as you can get in a musical. We follow a 17 year-old Englishman Alex, who is in love with an older French actress Rose Videle. They end up in the Spanish villa that belongs to Alex's uncle George, an elderly painter and writer. George in turn has an ongoing ... Read More
