1) Audio CD Music Sarah Brightman Classics by Angel Records. What a rare treat to hear such a wonderful voice! The music transcends the various languages( Latin, Italian, French, Spanish and almost no English) and communicates directly, beyond intellect, deeper to sooth the soul. This we expect from Opera and Religious selections such as Pucinni´s "Nessun Dorma" and Lloyd Webber´s "Piu Jesu". A favorite is the solo rendition of "Time To Say Good-bye". Orchestrations are as light and lyric as the voice. Some tracks are found on other CD´s and the enclosed photos are a bit risque, but again, the music reaches a much higher plane than most. You won´t be disappointed.¤ 2) Audio CD Music Sarah Brightman Classics by Angel Records. I bought this for my brother for Christmas. It came when it was supposed to and was in perfect condtion. Wonderful experience, would order from this dealer again.¤ 3) Audio CD Music Sarah Brightman Classics by Angel Records. So many times when a person buys a CD there are only a couple of songs that they consider good. On this CD there are over half the songs that are more than good. They are great. This CD has all the Sarah´s greatest hits and more. I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who loves Sarah Brightman.¤ 4) Audio CD Music Sarah Brightman Classics by Angel Records. Love Sarah Brightman, however, this CD doesn´t have one song on it in English. While I enjoy a mixture of her other CDs that are bilingual, this entire CD consists of songs in other languages I don´t understand. Very disappointing. Played it thru only once. Probably won´t play it again. No speakers on my computer so I can´t "test run" these. My own fault, I guess.¤ 5) Audio CD Music Sarah Brightman Classics by Angel Records. An absolutely dreadful CD, with one decent rendition (Ave Maria); the rest -- pure awfulness.
It´s like listening to Susan Alexander Kane (Citizen Kane´s second wife) sing a whole album. Brightman´s voice wavers & quivers all over the high notes. Oh, it is SO bad.¤ 6) Audio CD Music Sarah Brightman Classics by Angel Records.

Have some friends who still haven´t discovered what the Sarah Brightman fuss is all about? You´ll find the perfect introduction to make converts of them all in Classics, so they´ll have no more excuses to remain clueless. Sporting a Botticelli-inspired image of the platinum-selling soprano on the cover, Classics is a classy anthology including highlights from three of Brightman´s chart-topping releases along with seven new tracks. Songs personally selected by the diva as her favorite classical interpretations are culled from her previous blockbusters: Time To Say Goodbye, Eden, and La Luna. And whether you´re a fan already in the fold or one in the making, the new material here shows the diva at the top of her form, in new renderings of "O Mio Babbino Caro" and "Nessun Dorma" (accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic)--fascinating displays of the operatic confidence she´s developed over her career. Other new offerings include a touching version of Schubert´s "Ave Maria,´ "Winter Light," a fresh take on her signature song "Pie Jesu" (from Andrew Lloyd Webber´s Requiem). "Alhambra" and "Dans La Nuit"--a real treat, bathing the listener in Brightman´s silky, sensuous vocalism--add two original titles to her famous adaptations of classical melodies to new lyrics (using Chopin´s haunting E major Etude in the latter case). All told, a lovely affirmation of the directions Brightman has boldly taken in her career to date. -Sarah Chin¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
