Classics: The Best of Sarah Brightman Product Description

Classics: The Best of Sarah Brightman by Sarah Brightman was released Nov 20, 2001 on the EMI Angel label. Sure, she's as close as you can get to naked in the album artwork. Classics: The Best of Sarah Brightman OK, so there's an insert hawking Sarah Brightman calendars, coffee mugs, and sweatshirts. Classics: The Best of Sarah Brightman Yes, there's a fair amount of calculation likely in her pop-classical crossover. That doesn't mean the lady can't sing like an angel. Before the embryo-with-pipes known as Charlotte Church came along, Brightman was THE pop-classical singer, whose supernatural pipes allowed her to appeal to both camps with equal verve. CLASSICS proves that, aided by a bevy of orchestras and choirs, Brightman is still big coin in the crossover world. And she's got a lot more traditional operatic chops than little Miss Church to boot. Making her way through old warhorses like "Pie Jesu," "Ave Maria," and "Nessun Dorma," Brightman manages to invest these tracks with new life, and when she takes on the Linda Ronstadt tune "Winter Light" she brings to it an ethereal majesty that leaves no question as to her interpretive abilities on the pop side of the fence. ...See Full Description

Worth Every Penny
This album is solid from beginning to end. It is the perfect gift for anyone looking for something new to listen to.

A classically blend of musical material
Alot of the tracks have an etheral quality. I enjoy Sarah's version of WINTER LIGHT by Linda Ronstadt. I like the new and live versions of previously released songs and arias. Sarah's lyric soprano works well for the material. I would have thought that arias by Donzetti, Mozart ,Orff and other Puccini possibly material from REQUIEM or Gershwin, Bernstein, Douglas Moore, Meyerbeer, Delibe's LAKME, Verdi, Gilbert and Sullivan would have been included. Her single and live versions of Mozart's ALLELUIA and Donzetti's REGNAVA NEL SILENZIO do show off her coloratura technique as she did in Strouse's NIGHTINGALE and Llyod-Webber's PHANTOM OF HE OPERA. Bravissimo, Sarah.

Something old, something new
A good collection that won't disappoint Sarah fans. Nice to hear her do a cover of Ronstadt's "Winter Light." I was a bit taken aback by the CD artwork. Judging from Sarah's wardrobe (or in this case, lack thereof), she seems to be suffering from Mariah Carey syndrome.
