Customer Reviews

Stunning... truly stunning
From the moment the beautiful Sarah Brightman opened her mouth it was obvious that she had a rare, pure and stunning vocal ability. Her vocals are pure majesty and her talent is, quite frankly, beyond comparison.

As her latest album Symphony proves, Brightman's accolades are well deserved. From the opening track Gothica which borders on being something that you would hear on an Evanescence album, Brightman shines through. Her blend of well constructed music and highly trained vocal ability has produced an absolute gem. Her operatic sensibility and crystal clear vocals wander fearlessly through all fourteen tracks.

The album features three brilliant duets. On Canto Della Terra she duets with Andrea Bocelli and their voices together are bliss. Her second duet is Passion with Fernando Lima. While the song isn't as stunning as the previous duet, both singers really deliver.

The surprise duet is Sarai Qui with Paul Stanley. The song is a stunning Spanish translation of There You'll Be by Faith Hill. It was penned by the ever legendary Dianne Warren for the movie Pearl Harbor. For those who don't know who Paul Stanley is, he's one of the guys from Kiss. The unlikely pairing is incredible to listen to and definitely one of the highlights of the album.

Love or hate operatic music, Brightman is to be recognised and respected. Her stunning looks are only matched by the sheer beauty of her voice and she uses both to their full potential on Symphony. If you're a classical/operatic lover or if you can appreciate a fine voice, this album will make a welcome addition to your collection.

Symphony album Sarah Brightman
Loved the special on pbs. Same quality on the cd. Songs are excellent. Love Pasion.

Good music, poor recording
The music is pretty good that I like it. However, the recording is not good and in fact of poor quality. I tried it on different players and computers, all sounded distorted. It seems that the music was recorded at very loud level, which caused a lot of compression and clipping. Please correct me if anyone thinks it was my players at fault or something else.
