Customer Reviews

As she came of age
Hello to all Sarah Brightman fans. I literally bumped into this CD while shopping in amazon.com.. Made in 1990, when Sarah's solo career took off, it's probably where Sarah's inspiration for the Victorian genre came from.We see this on the front cover of the album. The album's british-based with accoustic guitars and little to no keyboard. "As I came of age" can almost adopt the soft rock category, but much better categorized under easy-listening. While listening to this cd, I felt like I stepped into a landscape in England. That's the feeling the tracks give.

The tracks list is as follows: 1) The river cried 2) Something to believe in 3) As I came of age 4) Take my life 5) Some girls 6) Brown eyes

7) Love changes everything (the only song to have made it to the Andrew Lloyd Webber collection)

8) Good morning starshine 9) Alone again or 10) Yesterday 11) Bowling green 12) It must be tough...to be that cool

All the songs are ok, but because they weren't introduced to the USA or Canada, they are rare to me. I find that the best songs are tracks 1,3,7,11 and 12. The producer of "as I came of age" is neither Lloyd Webber nor Frank Peterson. The recording is produced and written by Val Garay. Look for a sexy "Barbie doll-esque" black & white photo of Sarah inside.

There's not much else to say. The album's more or less a take it or leave it creation, or shall I say love or hate?

Just love Sarah Brightman
I have been a big fan of Sarah Brightman's for ages, and this was the first CD of hers that I bought. While I wouldn't say that this is my all time favourite Sarah Brightman CD, it is one that I listen to quite often. I think that she sings 'Love Changes Everthing' so much better than either Michael Ball or Peter Cousins (from the 'Aspects of Love' show). Another favourite song on this CD is 'Good Morning Starshine'. She has such a clear voice, that 'As I Came of Age' is always a delight to listen to.

A Major Fan
I have ten of her CD's and this is one my favorites. I listen to it over and over again. She has such a range from pop to new age to showtunes to opera. This CD shows her early years as a pop singer. This one is a must to add to any Brightman collection.
