I decided to do this comparison after hearing Anthony Crivello singing "must pay the price" at a higher octave (I think that's the correct term) than usual.
1. Philip Quast
2. Michael McCarthy
3. Peter Corry
4. Anthony Crivello
5. Philip Hernandez
6. Stephen Tewksbury
7. Hans Peter Janssens
8. Cornell John
9. Norm Lewis
10. Christian A Müller
11. Rob Hunt
12. Brad Little
13. Roger Allam
14. Terrence Mann
Peter Corry was my first Javert (when I was about 11 or 12), and for that reason he'll always be my favourite. :) Besides him, I also adore Norm Lewis (his completely ruthless, thrill-of-the-chase characterisation is pure genius IMO), and Phillip Quast.

Without a doubt the best i have seen, although i seen Hadley Fraiser in August and he beats all three, for someone so young, he pulled off the part to perfection!!

i'm sad to say but they've already confirmed Russell Crowe is playing Javert.

@tomtompataygutom Tell me you are kidding. There is NO WAY Russel Crowe will pull of this character. Christ, this production is doomed if he's been chosen.

I can't help but wonder how they're gonna mount this solo for the film adaptation. I'm scared for Russell Crowe for taking on such a ginormous task of playing such a richly textured and highly complicated character.

My favorite is Quast, hands down. But he sounds better on the TAC. I think by then he had been able to flesh out his interpretation of Javert a little more, he conveys such a psychological depth. He is the reason why Javert is my favorite character.-3

I love Christian A Muller and Brad Little's way of singing this. It really brings you into the song

Anthony Crivello has got pipes but his version doesn't fit his part. He could have been like enjorlas or something

@Detectivefiction Definately German ;) But the lyrics in this one can be understood by a lot of non-german speaking dutchmen. Or at least a big part of it.
