Description

Sarah Brightman is to classical vocals what Vanessa Mae is to classical violin. Thanks, probably, to her combination of physical and vocal beauty, record label Angel have decided that she can sell records. Can she make classical music trendy? Probably not, but many people are closet classical music fans, and most of them will enjoy this album immensely. Brightman has a superbly powerful voice that is capable of reproducing a great selection of classical pieces along with some new creations. Among the former, Ave Maria and Pie Jesu are two great Catholic classics that Brightman revives with aplombmore…, and her treatment of Nessun Dorma certainly gives the Three Tenors a run for their money. Brightman's voice has that curious quality of being uncluttered. Despite her distinctly operatic style, her tone is clear and true; there is never a ragged edge or any hint of loss of control through any of even the most demanding pieces. Her tonal qualities are perhaps even better demonstrated in her new work, especially in English, such as the beautiful Winter Light. The music for each track is exactly right, which many classical vocal tracks fail to achieve by being almost competed against by their orchestra. Brightman's songs are backed by quiet, subtle music when this is called for, and sweeping, grandiose crescendos when they are appropriate. The whole album is superbly mastered and would be a beautiful addition to anyone's CD collection.
