"Cliff Richard IS Heathcliff. This CD (also a video filmed on the London stage where the musical played for several months) says in song what Emily Bronte wrote 150 years ago. The cast is excellent. Whether Cathy is portrayed by Olivia Newton-John or Helen Hobson, the duets are marvelous. Tim Rice takes his lyrics from much of the novel, and adds his own particular touch. John Farrar's music genius is evident and obviously he knows what suits Olivia and Cliff.You'll get a better understanding of the character of Heathcliff and the nature of the folks in Yorkshire in the early 1800s if you listen closely to the words. You may not end up loving Heathcliff, but you can't help loving Cliff."

This is a gem

"I found this in Sweden in 1995, and it remains one of my favorite CDs. Fabulous songs, faithful to the original story, great singing. Buy it! You won't regret it."
