A very good album overall. These tracks stand the test of time and the conceptual theatrical elements are as powerful and emotive as ever.

Highlights include Overture that is a wonderful instrumental conducted with the usual expertise by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The vocal performances are outstanding on such tracks as Everything's Alright, Hosanna, and the showstopper, I Don't Know How To Love Him.

Other great tracks worth a listen include King Herod's Song, Judas' Death, and Trial Before Pilate. The masterpiece is Superstar that is majestic and powerful both musically and lyrically.

Some of the tracks are a bit dull taken on their own, but when listened to from begining to end, the album is a very well crafted theatrical work. The religious themes are not too heavy handed and basically follow the story of Christ as told in the Bible gospels. The music is uplifting and the lyrics are beautiful. Andrew Lloyd Webber is a master of this genre and this version is well worth a listen.
