SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:14 Min.
This cover rendition is performed by Erich Kunzel & The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra for its 1989 Chiller album. A ghastly cackle from ‘The Phantom’ concludes this track.
REVIEW:
Faithfully rendered (including the ominous pipe organ intro), this cover by Erich Kunzel & The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra is a classy rendition of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s original track. In that sense, the instrumental quality is on a par with Nox Arcana and Midnight Syndicate, as far as conveying creepy mood music. While the track itself isn’t necessarily a must-have, it’ll appeal to fans seeking a spot-on interpretation for Halloween-themed playlists. The cackle is a nice touch, too. If anything, this track is a tempting advertisement to seek out Chiller as a possible album download.
