The iconic ballad “Bring Him Home,” performed by the character - TopicsExpress



          

The iconic ballad “Bring Him Home,” performed by the character of Jean Valjean in the musical “Les Miserables,” features music by Claude-Michel Schonberg and original French lyrics by Alain Boublil. The song was translated into English by Herbert Kretzmer, and featured orchestrations by John Cameron. In 1986 in the West End of London, I had the distinct honor of seeing and hearing Colm Wilkinson, the original Jean Valjean, sing this magnificent song. In fact, the song was written specifically for him. Needless to say, he got a standing ovation for I don’t know how many minutes, richly deserved. The rendition by Mr. Wilkinson I posted is from the 10 year anniversary concert. Believe me when I tell you that you will cry. It is an extraordinarily moving experience. https://youtube/watch?v=sWbg8NIyVRA
