CAFFE` LATTE` TOP 2000 TRACKS


#190 DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING? 'Les Miserables' World Cast
'The Complete Symphonic Recording', featuring a world cast made up of members from a variety of stage productions of the timeless musical 'Les Miserables', was unleashed in 1988. The musical was created by Alain Boubil and Claude-Michel Schonberg, based on Victor Hugo's classic novel. Lyrics were penned by Herbert Kretzmer to Schonberg's music. "Do You Hear The People Sing?" is a stirring show-stopper from the show. 
The version on this recording features Australian Anthony Warlow as Enjolras, 1 of the musical's pivotal characters. The song occupies a key scene in the production, before the climactic moments at the barricade. In the film adaptation, the song was moved to its closing scene.
 
This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
A new song from the Top 200 is added each day, while another 2 are also included from positions 1501-2000 daily. Check back here every 12 hours for an update of the 2000.
