Has anyone heard the Anthony Warlow studio recording of "Bring him Home"?
You can hear it on YouTube:

I'm not a big fan of Les Miserables but I love this performance! Incase any of you guys haven't heard it I just thought I'd share.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 1/15/09 at 8:19amWarlow has the most beautiful, flawless, powerful voice of ANY musical theater male performer in the industry. What a gift and what a joy. Such a shame he has not come to the Great White Way.

Of course. The CD has been out for years.

nothing beats "This is the Moment" during his concert...

or the duet with Philip Quast (sorry Schmerg...)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-RYHcyhLqk
I once heard someone describe her (Ruthie Henshall) singing as sounding as though she's trying to swallow a whole meatball slightly larger than her windpipe. (The same person compared Michael Ball's singing to sounding as though he's sitting on a washing machine on spin cycle and Colm Wilkinson's to a man with a paralyzed lip trying to eat cottage cheese.) --- Schmerg_The_Impaler

Anthony Warlow + Phantom + Broadway = Blessing on American Musical Theatre.
For that matter, any role he could play in America would be a blessing.
How to properly use its/it's:
Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

Posted: 1/5/13 at 6:20pmNot sure if the link is still working (it isn't for me, but it might be working in the US - it just says it's barred for my country [Australia]). But I think it's a good time to bump the topic. Still my favourite performance of BRING HIM HOME.

OMG, that duet with Philip Quast is just magnificent!!!!!!!
Performances like that remind me why I love the fine art of acting through song so much.
Imagine that 2 performers of this calibre played Valjean and Javert in the Les Miserables movie. That would bring a quality to the film that no one in human history has ever seen or heard.
Now THAT would make the film successful and epic.

The best version of Bring him home is John Owen Jones' in my opinion.

Posted: 1/6/13 at 10:39amNo. When Colm Wilkinson sang Bring Him Home for the first time, it stayed SANG. Everyone else is an also-ran, an afterthought and a wanna-be.

No.
If you listen carefully to all the nuances in emotion and placements of the words and notes from beginning to end you will have to conclude JOJ is better.
You can like Colms voice more, but that is a matter of taste.

Posted: 1/6/13 at 12:07pmAnthony Warlow is my favorite male singer ever. I even like him singing "Music of the Night," and normally that song bores me to tears.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Posted: 1/6/13 at 2:37pmIf we're talking favorite versions of the song this is up there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W7NMdHK-0o
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 1/6/13 at 2:53pmJohn Owen Jones recorded Bring Him Home in Welsh a couple of years ago -- absolutely gorgeous. It's available on U.S. ITunes.

It's a shame his glorious voice isn't in a better vehicle than Annie--but at least it got him to Broadway and there should be concerts etc.to gain him more recognition before '????' starring Anthony Warlow.
If you get the chance--watch more of that concert with Anthony/John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John.

I see that his CD available via Amazon, but does anyone know if you can purchase songs on like ITUNES, etc? $40.00 for the one CD is kind of expensive. I looked and found nothing to purchase MP3 of him, but hoping someone can point me in the right direction to do so.
