Sarah Brightman'S paradise.......2003-02-22

DELIVER ME: A beautiful lovesong. Again a favourite.
UN JOUR IL VIENDRA: This is a wintersong. very nice for staying at home when it's cold outside.
NELLA FANTASIA: Again a wintersong.
TU: Very athmospheric. Her voce sounds great as always.
LASCIA QU'IO PIANGA: Aria from the opera "Rinaldo" by G. F. Händel. That's classical music at its best.
ONLY AN OCEAN AWAY: That's another crossover piece. I like it.
SCENE D'AMOUR: Without lyrics but very romantic and beautiful.
NESSUN DORMA: This is the short version. It's shorter than on the "Classics"-album. Again an aria. I heard it's originally written for tenor-voice.
Bonus CD:
It's the "Time to say goodbye"-Single.
TIME TO SAY GOODBYE: Her greatest hit the duet with Andrea Bocelli. I like his voice although normally I don't like men who sing opera.
SLEEP TIGHT: Another great crossover-piece. She sings low exept for the high note in the end.
YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY: This is taken from the "FLy"-album. It's very long and it sounds fareastern.
TIME TO SAY GOODBYE: (Sarah's intimate version): It's just Sarah singing on this one. I prefer it because as I said I don't like men who sing opera.
DESERT ROSE: This song is only avaiable on the TTSG-single and on this edition. It's very soft. Not the same song Sting sings.

Nice single.......2002-05-04

The songs are nice, and the single introduces a very pretty song called "Sleep tight". The lyrics in this song are haunting, and represent a Sarah from another world. Same with "You take my breath away". These two songs give TTSGB single the flavour it needs. I'm not saying that TTSGB is a bad song. It's not, but what I mean is that the single needed a boost by putting some lesser known tracks in.

The cover is unusual, and it probably would have looked nicer as a full cover shot. It's funny, this is the only time that I ever saw this single listed on amazon.com. I am glad to review it.

Back to the title song. The cd version and the solo (intimate version) are both nice. I like the ending of the solo version slightly better because of the sudden ending. There is no boom from the accoustic bass at the end though, compared to the original. For Sarah to take on both verses of the song was a nice change, for the song takes on a whole different air.

The cd is worth it, because at least there are songs which are a lot newer, yet less known, as well as one song that was never heard before...

Mind changed about TTSG single and more.......2000-12-25

Anyway, I'm listening to the TTSG single right now as I type. And what an amazing surprise it is. The tracklist goes:

1. The title duet. Everyone knows the song already. Probably the best performance Sarah has ever given and probably ever will give since her more well-known Andrew Lloyd Webber interpretations. And Bocelli, my favorite singer, sings directly in your face, as if he put the words right in your mouth and made you cry.

2. Sleep Tight. Previously unreleased. Damn good rarity, even though On The Nile, which can be most likely found on Napster, is the best out of all the rare Sarah songs I've heard. It's not forgettable in my book.

3. You Take My Breath Away. I have more affection for this song just because it made its way onto this single.

4. Time To Say Goodbye (Sarah's Intimate Version). Same as the actual duet except Sarah sings the whole song by herself.

Fat chance even though I kind of like Andrea's CTP somewhat better. No wonder this single spent so long at #1 over in Germany and became so damn successful. Probably one of the best singles ever to go out on the market. It's worth it. You might be wondering "Where the hell can you get JSMHTLY, QOH, or HCHLM?" Or this single. All except this single are rare. In this case, e-mail me at honour2001@netzero.net and I'll see what I can do.

Until then, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Miss Brightman in Eden.......2000-09-24

THE MUSIC REVIEW: Track 1 "In Paradisum" is gothic and I think it's a great intro to her cd. It kind of tells you what is to come. I think she should have called it "Prelude". "Eden" is beautiful. This track expresses her point of the album. "So many things" is short & sweet. I love the track "Anytime, Anywhere". It is totally opera. It sends shivers up & down my spine when she hits the high notes. "Bailero" is dreamy and nice to listen to at full blast. "Dust in the wind" is okay and I might have rated the cd 5 stars, but I'm seriously not too crazy about this track.This is only because, to me, the song doesn't fit the environment of the rest of the cd. "Il mio cuore va" is beautiful. Sarah has gone all the way with this hit, singing it in Italian.The high notes are flawless. Of course, the song took off when Celine Dion sang it too. "Deliver me" including the gospel choir in the background is haunting. The track that makes me cry is "Un jour Il viendra" or "one day he'll come back". She starts off with a voice of an angel, then gradually ascending into a vocalise of tear jerking emotion. "Nella Fantasia" is another one of tear jerkers, which originally was written as an instrumental by (Ennio Morricone). "Tu" is pretty sung in Spanish. It was written by (Jose Maria Cano) of the Mexicain pop group (Mecano). Lascia Ch'io Pianga" is pretty too. Sarah's voice soars, as in all her tracks. The next track, "Only an ocean away" is amazing to hear. She starts out with her popsational voice, then going into her operatic "bel canto" style, and again returning full volume to end the track. "Scene d'amour" is another one of Sarah's fine vocalises, letting her talent fill your ears.Track 15, "Nessun Dorma" (Puccini): is the best track of all. This song was originally written for a tenor voice, but Sarah got her hands on it just the same. She is the first soprano to ever claim this track in her repertoire. The track starts out with the dreamy strings section, then her voice sweeps in like an angel, ascending into an amazing high B sharp, leaving the listener breathless. The last 15 sec. of the track are where my hair stands on end. Simply amazing!

Disc 2 starts with the best seller "Time to say goodbye" with Andrea Bocelli.The song is a tribute to (Henry Maske). It is the version from the cd "Time to say goodbye" or "Timeless" (import). I have always loved this track. Next is the never released before track, "Sleep tight". It is more new age. Track 3 "You take my breath away" is taken from her EAST/WEST label import album "Fly". The music starts with her vocalising in Indian. The beginning sounds sort of like a tribal celebration. It is an enchanting song, entirely different from any of her previous music. Track 4 is the "Intimate" version of "Time to say goodbye". Sarah starts with her lovely solo, then taking the part Bocelli would originally sing. Sarah's high note at the end of the track is cut short due to it being a solo. This doesn't spoil the track, though. The 5th and last track is titled "Desert Rose". Sarah's voice is sweet, but not operatic in the song. The tune both haunting and a tear jerker too.

Inside the liner notes, there are beautiful photos of Sarah. The theme of the cd is of a paradise she has made herself. She lies on the couch almost trance-like. Red is the perfect color for the visual presentation. There is also a black & white photo of Brightman & Bocelli on the cover of the 2nd disc. The disc is a collector's item, labeled "Limited Millenium Edition". This disc is worth the money. Sarah Brightman fans will be delighted to have such a set. GO GET IT NOW!!
