Dive

by: Sarah Brightman

Release Date October 16, 1998
It's true that some songs stand out like Captain Nemo and Salty dog, etc...but this album was put together so well it flows...One song to the the next seems to have a bridge between them, I don't have to skip any song!
Actually, among Sarah album, this one is harmonizing the best. I go to sleep every night with it, it always work like a charm! Once you put it on, you feel like you are going to a fantasy world or a dream then I fell a sleep before I know it....(ususally after Salty Dog which she did a perfect job with the highest point! ( I am the type who is hard to fall asleep, by the way)
Thank you, Sarah!

The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection

by: Sarah Brightman

Release Date December 08, 1997
I wouldn't describe myself as a huge Sarah Brightman fan but I do enjoy some of her recordings. Of course, her original Christine from 'Phantom of the Opera' is a wonderful recording although I always find her acting (on video - I've never seen her live in the theatre) off putting. Obviously the great thing about these CDs is that isn't a problem!!

I first discovered how much I like 'Unexpected Song' and 'Tell Me On A Sunday' from the musical 'Tell Me On A Sunday' after hearing this recording. Both are very beautiful. Unfortunatley Cliff Richard appears singing the part of Roaul in 'All I Ask of You' which is a big No No. 'Anything But Lonely' is another of my favourites from 'Aspects of Love'.

Symphony

by: Sarah Brightman

Release Date April 14, 2008


...she DOES know where the money is.
'Entertaining' those of a higher brow$.
Who simply want to be entertained-nothing more
The problem is, that while she gives mathematical precise delivery
-Her music isnt really ABOUT anything. cold. pointless. empty
Singing others' compositions reinforces this notion

Her songs lack any OF HER point of view
Technically perfect-but no soul
I bought this CD to see what the fuss was about-and IMMEDIATELY could sense
the lack of any purpose or conviction. She was only a singer 'singing' Nothing more.
It went into the "sell" pile
Just 'entertainment lite' Music about nothing. To fill empty space-not unlike elevator ... Read More:

The Very Best of 1990-2000

by: Sarah Brightman

Release Date May 28, 2001
I came to this CD via my enjoyment of Katherine Jenkins and the reading of a very negative review of her new album that compared her to Sarah. Of course I knew Sarah from her ALW stuff but not her more mainstream performances. To begin, it is crass in the extreme to compare the two singers. Both beautiful women. One soprano, one mezzo. One experienced in all sorts of music, one not so but learning fast. But, surely, anybody can hear (and see!) that both are a delight.
I was mesmerised by this CD. Not overly fond of 'modern' music I was fully captured by the variation on this disc. No opera at all but still superb (well for me anyway who loves opera).
The arrangements are, for the most part, sumptuous and atmospheric and the singing is, well, ... Read More:

Vivere - Greatest Hits

by: Andrea Bocelli

Release Date November 12, 2007
I have this CD on constant repeat! The music is so varied but holds your attention every step of the way. Bocelli's voice is one you just have to fall in love with. His "Romanza" is 1 of my favourites but "Vivo Per Lei" has me hooked also. GET THIS CD!!!!!!

(40) Most Beautiful Arias

from: Wea

Release Date October 02, 2006
This is a beautiful album, which lives up to its title. Will be enjoyed by both opera buffs, and those of us who just like the songs we keep hearing on TV and radio. Now you can match the song to the title, to the opera. Includes many arias not usually found on opera compilations. Highly recommended.

Harem

by: Sarah Brightman

Release Date September 29, 2003
Well I am absolutely staggered. I looked this album up on iTunes because I loved the song "You Take My Breath Away". Track no. 14 according to iTunes. For some nostalgic reason, I wanted to buy the hard product for my collection so I bought the Harem album on Amazon. Imagine my perplexity and horror when I realised that my beloved track was not on the CD. Track 14 is a mysterious obscure bonus track of some sort. Now I have to buy it on iTunes as well as the hard copy CD. I am not pleased - so beware, there are obviously two versions of this album. Make sure you get the one you want.

Serenade

by: Katherine Jenkins

Release Date November 06, 2006
I will admit that when I first saw the track listing for this CD, I felt disappointed. "Come on!" I thought, "Katherine should be more original than this! Practically every soprano records 'O Mio Babbino Caro' at one point or another, and here are two common songs from the classical crossover genre, 'Nella Fantasia' and 'The Prayer'. Should I even invest in something that will only be a re-hash of things I have already heard many times?" In the end however, I decided that even with the unimaginative song selections, I would buy this CD.

I am very glad I did! There are so many gems here that I now consider this Katherine's best album. Surprisingly, "Nella Fantasia" instantly became a favorite of mine. Her rich, warm tones really brought this song to life ... Read More:

Timeless

by: Sarah Brightman

Release Date June 02, 1997

One of Brightman's best albums and a perfect album for those fans who prefer her soprano abilities as opposed to the pop.

This album opens with a beautiful track in 'No One Like You' and includes one or two dramatic duets. This also includes the massive chart hit 'Time To Say Goodbye' sung with Andrea Bocelli, and one of my personal favourites - the famous 'O Mio Babbino Caro' that many will recognise that is recorded live.

Eden

by: Sarah Brightman

Release Date November 09, 1998

This is a lovely selection of songs from Sarah Brightman - beautifully packaged in one of the most attractive pieces of artwork used for the cover of the CD. This could be a little deceptive into misleading people into believing that this whole album is 'classical' , but there is a mixture here, but for the main, this does contain more songs where Sarah is able to utilise her beautiful soprano voice to its greatest potential. 'Anytime, Anywhere' is a great example of this - along with 'Il Mio Cuore Va' (Italian version of Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On')

Some beautiful songs here, and several that will sound familiar to many - a couple of my personal favourites are: 'Bailero' (which I've heard sung often by other artists on Classic FM and adored, and so ... Read More:
