Andrew Lloyd Webber, Baron Lloyd-Webber (born 22 March 1948) is a highly successful British composer of musical theatre.

 Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Memory' Book (washingtonpost.com)
Lloyd Webber's music is often labeled derivative, which is somewhat beside the point; musical theater has thrived as a parasitic form for nearly 100 years.
Still, "The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber" is for the most part a gratifyingly lush and full-bodied sampling of the man's songbook, thanks to authoritative renditions of the trademark songs by the likes of Hugh Panaro and Alice Ripley, and the pleasingly robust accompaniment of the 32-piece Opera House Orchestra.
The lyrics of a Lloyd Webber song are rarely the point, anyway.

Webber's production is "extra-lush" on this one but never to the point of drowning the music (or her).
Andrew Lloyd Webber's music is excellent, but here it's wrapped up in a voice that doesn't do the music any justice at all.
Sarah Brightman's career was launched by her success in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, so it's no surprise to hear the soprano paying homage to the composer on this disc.

 Review Andrew Lloyd Webber
From the start, Lloyd Webber has been interested in making music memorable -- and for making memorable music -- and for a while it seemed as if, to do that, he needed to make his musicals spectacular entertainments.
Love him or hate him, you've got to admit that Andrew Lloyd Webber is the wunderkind musical theater composer of our time.
I would have used this disc to showcase more of what we love about Lloyd Webber.

 Review of The Woman In White by Andrew Lloyd Webber 2004
The music is typical Andrew Lloyd Webber and so does have echoes and refrains from previous compositions, but it is still one of his most enchanting scores.
The Woman in White may not be as good as some of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s earlier musicals, nevertheless it is still one of the most exciting dramatic new musicals to open in the West End in recent years.
None the less the music as you come to expect from Andrew Lloyd Webber is thrilling and moving.

 Andrew Lloyd Webber
This, by the way, is one of Sir Andrew's most important contributions to the album, although I don't remember who wrote the lyrics.
Andrew actually takes classical motives and dresses them up as 'rock' statements, bringing a whole new dimension to classical music which, unfortunately, was never really improved upon or even followed seriously.
Whoever would want to argue that by 1982, Sir Andrew's talent was all but washed-up will have to face the obvious - judging by Broadway standards, there are lots of cool melodies on here.

 Andrew Lloyd Weber: Yay or Nay? Ask MetaFilter
Webber is the pop star of theatre music: shallow, bland and immensely rich, none of which have any bearing on actual talent.
Andrew Lloyd Weber is like the Britney Spears of musical theater.
Sir ALW just doesn't produce such music - or when he does, it seems almost by accident - and thus he fails my own personal test for "greatness" in musical theater.

With Song And Dance (1982), which consisted of an earlier piece, Tell Me On Sunday (lyrics by Don Black), and Variations composed on a theme by Paganini for his cellist brother, Julian, Lloyd Webber became the only theatrical composer to have three works performed simultaneously in both the West End and Broadway.

Of course, they listen to cds/radio and current chart hits, but Webber provides an insight into songwriting structure and a stepping stone to appreciating classical music too.
When I listen to the opera, I sometimes think that for songwriters this should be one of the biggest sources of inspiration.

Anytime I pick up an Andrew Lloyd Webber CD or DVD, or see one of his shows, my presumption is that I will hear wonderfully crafted Broadway hits sung by supremely talented vocalists.
This is a thoroughly enjoyable concert with many great songs being performed by very talented singers, and a fantastic sonic effort by the China Philharmonic Orchestra.
A few of Lloyd Webber's shows get the short shrift in terms of songs played per musical, including the criminally underrated Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, represented here only by "Any Dream Will Do."
