Average Rating: Rating: - ChrisTmas is here!!! This may not be a ChrisTmas album ~~~it is however full of spirit...Sarah's Yes this is "SARAH'S CLASSICS" This whole CD Flows...Floats... Fabulous From the beginning of "AVE MARIA" To the last notes of "TTSG" AVE MARIA is absolutely Beautiful PERIOD. LA WALLY is done in a pure Classical style no extra percussion/explosions. Done with the same type of sensitivity as La Luna WINTER LIGHT has become a new Favorite to this listener..."whispers and I will follow".. ANYTIME ANYWHERE... I Love anyway..sigh a sultry pining.. ALHAMBRA a Spanish guitar and Sarah...a beautiful song does it get any better than this .. LASCIA CHI'O PIANGA....Lovely..soft piece DANS LA NUIT...a Chopin piece I have heard many times before but never so beautifully sung.. SERENADE/...This is a Peterson Soltau HOW FAIR THIS PLACE...this is Brightmans adaptation of Rachmannov it is exquisite by its self and especially when attached to Serenade O MIO BABBINO CARO...You have heard this before too ...so what is that saying about things being better "the second time around"..this is a more mature voice it is beautiful.. LA LUNA...This brought tears to my eye's the first time I heard it ...and it does so now...Davorak must be weeping in his grave with tears of Joy! PIE JESU....This has a bit different quality to ..and it sounds GREAT "as usual Ms. Brightman". Her voice has matured since she first recorded it and the FULL Orchestra in the back ground adds a touch of drama (Not that she needs it) FIGLIO PERDUTO and BAILERO these are just great pieces they fit the album they are obviously favorites of Sarah's. NESSUN DORMA....She doesn't need the full Orchestra but it sounds GREAT!! and just a bit different from the other times we have heard it...she still lifts you right off the ground !! this CD closes with TIME TO SAY GOODBYE!!! It is fitting... one of Sarah's own.....one of her best! Thank You SARAH Thank You FRANK What a GREAT ChrisTmas PresenT....(the caps here are intentional) Lock the doors, Turn down the lights, Light the fire and the Candles..put your feet up..and FLOAT with your dreams along with Sarah! This is "The DIVA" at her BEST. Buy this album Folks! For yourself and any other Sarah Fan or as an introduction gift to the voice of an Angel.. JAS Rating: - What more is there to say!? There is no doubt (at least in my mind!) that Sarah Brightman has an exquisite voice, but just as important, she has incredible control over her voice which allows her to perform to perfection everything she sings whether it be opera arias, popular tunes, or jazz -- and let us not forget that she does all of this in five different languages! As many know, Miss Brightman likes to 'theme' her albums and "CLASSICS", I believe, is no exception. Each song flows beautifully into the next, creating a feeling of harmony and tranquility. While I have heard some complain that only four new songs are offered on this CD, it's important to note that many of the songs found on previous albums are presented here with new arrangements. I realize this is only a matter of opinion, but I rather enjoy hearing different arrangements, and in fact, find it refreshing. Additionally, since the previous recordings she has selected for this CD are among my favorites, I cannot complain on that note! The new selections she has given us are "Ave Maria", "Alhambra", "Winter Light", and "Dans La Nuit" which are all very nice. If I were to rate these four from highest to lowest, I would do so in the order that I have listed them -- but I truly enjoy all of them. While she has taken three selections from her "TIME TO SAY GOODBYE" CD, two of the three are new arrangments. There are four selections from "EDEN" and of these, "Nessun Dorma" is a new arrangement and is absolutely wonderful! Finally, there are three selections from her "LA LUNA" CD. In all honesty, I was not sure what to expect with this CD until I received it and listened to it in its entirety. In doing so, it became evident to me that Miss Brightman took great care in choosing songs that would keep with the theme she had in mind. The only recording that didn't take my breath away was the new recording of "Pie Jesu". For some reason, her voice appeared to be somewhat in the distance and didn't seem as clear to me as in previous recordings; but others have said they enjoy this new arrangement. If you are a fan of Sarah Brightman's, I truly feel you will love this CD! If you are new to the world of Sarah Brightman, I think this CD would be a wonderful introduction into her world! Rating: - Simply stunning Sarah Brightman's latest cd offering, "Classics", is a fabulous compilation best of including previous operatic hits and favorites, as well as seven new recordings, which combine to create an operatic journey of grand proportions. S. Brightman's "Classics" includes such favorites as the magnificent La Wally, that is able to redefine past notions of S. Brightman's operatic abilities; Anytime, Anywhere, a powerful classic melding both opera with pop elements; the exquisite duo Serenade/How fair this place from La Luna, that is as gentle as it is powerful; and the sweeping, grand La Luna, that showcases the power and sheer vocal range of S. Brightman's voice. "Classics" features re-recordings of Pie Jesu, which creates a mood beautifully with Sarah Brightman singing deeply and more richly in the touching piece; and Nessun Dorma, in an updated form that lasts an additional half minute. New recordings, which are the real headliners of this cd, include the breathy elegance of Winter Light; Spanish inspired Alhambra, which finds Sarah's voice flowing and seamless and the orchestra complementing her perfectly with strings; marvelous Dan La Nuit that features S. Brightman's characteristic liberties on Latin-based languages; and sweeping and sweet O Mio Babbino Caro. The gentle Ave Maria is a gem on this cd, where an ethereal mood is set by the orchestra and Sarah's amazing voice. Another real treat is Sarah's solo version of Time To Say Goodbye, which was a very rare track up to this point. It's a very nice take on the duet hit. "Classics," by the end of its 54 minutes, comes off as a distinct album with powerful, moving songs and a selection of previous hits and favorites. At first listening, "Classics" may not grab you, but it really does grow on you, meriting at least two listenings before developing your opinion on this resplendent addition to anyone's Sarah Brightman collection.
