My son introduced me to Notre Dame de Paris on YouTube. I watched it and fell in love with the music and the play. Even though it's in French, there were English subtitles. However, the English version that they have lacks the power that the French version has. Now that I've watched it (with English subtitles) on YouTube and know what they're singing, I'm OK with just listening to the French version. I wanted a CD to listen to in the car, so purchased this. I love it and listen to it a LOT. As far as I can tell, it has all the music in the play.

There is much discussion about music or mathematics being the universal language. Math may be universal but only mathematicians can understand it! Music IS universal and this music is the proof. One doesn't need to know French to understand what is being sung here. The emotion in this music is rarely surpassed in my experience. Beautiful arrangements, lovely voices, and elegant "hooks" make this music timeless and stunning. You will get many hours of pleasure listening to the beauty here. You don't need any French to appreciate this superb musical. The French language is beautiful to the ears, and lovely when sung. What a great musical this is, and I barely speak French at all! Highly Recommended!
The soundtrack is a bit different from the DVD recording,but it does help if you speak the language to enjoy it the best. The dvd was subtitled and obviously it helps in the understanding of the audio only soundtrack. I wwatched the dvd many many times and still do not understand every song 100%. I prefer the DVD audio to the soundtrack, but it is because there is a different person singing the role of Esmeralda. but thats me. All in all anyone who enjoys music would enjoy listening to this CD
The Cd Notre Dame de Paris is an addition to my French music collection. I am totally enjoying the music. The Cd is well put together. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys French songs.
An amazing piece of musical theater. Buy the DVD if you can and experience a top notch performance. It's in French with English subtitles.
