Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sarah Brightman, Paul Miles-Kingston – Pie Jesu

If you’re a fan of musicals, you’ve probably come across the name Andrew Lloyd Webber at least once.

He is a British composer of worldwide renown who wrote the music for celebrated masterpieces like Jesus Christ Superstar and The Phantom of the Opera.

Often called a modern-day Mozart, Webber is a prodigious composer who graduated from the prestigious Royal College of Music, while also being deeply influenced by avant-garde contemporary composers.

The piece introduced here, Pie Jesu, is one movement from a pure Requiem composed by Webber in 1985, and it is a work quite different in character from his dazzling musical theater scores.

The performance by Webber’s former wife, the internationally acclaimed singer Sarah Brightman, together with boy soprano Paul Miles-Kingston, envelops us in a cleansing beauty that seems to wash over the heart just by listening.
