Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice - Jesus Christ Superstar .jpg) .gif) By David Horiuchi
It may not have been the first rock opera (the Who's Tommy was
released in 1969), but Jesus Christ Superstar was a legendary album
long before it hit the stage, thanks to Tim Rice's compelling book and
lyrics combined with Andrew Lloyd Webber's irresistible music. Telling the
story of the last days of Christ from the point of view of Judas (Murray
Head), the still-unmatched original cast also stars Deep Purple's Ian
Gillan as Jesus and Yvonne Elliman as Mary Magdalene, the role she made
into a career (with a cameo on the Saturday Night Fever
soundtrack). Decades later, such songs as "Superstar," "I
Don't Know How to Love Him," "Heaven on Their Minds," and
"Everything's Alright" still retain their extraordinary power.

"Considering that Andrew Lloyd Webber was only 18 when recording began on "Jesus Christ Superstar", It is an amazing piece of work. It may not be as complex as "Evita" or "Cats", but it remains the most memorable and most performed. Maybe because it's it is not as hard to duplicate, that's part of what makes it great." --Bassplayer |
