Free Music Notes for Diva: The Singles Collection
Free Music Review: Simply Sensational
Hit: 5 Stars
Sarah Brightman's name became synonymous with Andrew Lloyd Webber as his one-time wife and muse two decades ago, but it was her voice that made her a star and would have made her a star with or without Webber. Yes, she became famous for singing his tunes early on, but it was her talent and undying love for her art that made her the biggest-selling soprano of all time. With such masterpiece albums as Eden, La Luna, Harem, Requiem, Surrender and Timeless/Time To Say Goodbye under her belt, this collection is compiled of the greatest songs from those and one Lloyd Webber cast album, Phantom Of The Opera. Brightman already has a devoted following, and if you play this CD for anyone who is not familiar with the superiority of Sarah's vocals, you are sure to add that many more to her fanbase. It's hard to say where to begin on this collection because all fourteen tracks are proven winners. Whether it's the splendiferous opening track of "Phantom Of The Opera," which features her duet partner Steve Harley, to the sensational, spine-tingling closer of "Time To Say Goodbye (Con Te Partir?)," complimented by Andrea Bocelli, there's nothing not to like on this magnificent CD with its carefully chosen tracks. In between the opening and closing tracks, we are treated to phenomenal selections that include "Just Show Me How To Love You," "Deliver Me," "What You Never Know" and her gorgeous interpretations on such contemporary American fare as Simon & Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair" to Procol Harem's 1967 masterpiece "A Whiter Shade Of Pale." Her Italian is perfection on "Nella Fantasia" while her unique interpretation of Queen's "Who Wants To Live Forever" will knock you out. If you already are familiar with these tracks and want to savor them on one splendid disc with gorgeous liner notes and photographs, this one's for you. If you're a visionary and would like to take this magnificent journey one step further, I suggest the DVD companion that contains 20 performances, which include the aforementioned plus superb performances like "Ave Maria," "Anytime, Anywhere," "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" and several more. To hear Sarah Brightman is diva divine. To see and hear Sarah Brightman is simply supreme.Free Music Review: Almost!

I have always been a sucker for Sarah and so glad they stuck with the original duets like Jose Cura's (my favorite tenor oozing with great machismo) and Andrea Bocelli. My only complaint is the Phantom of the Opera with Steve Harley (who is he?) Pardon me, I don't want to be mean but this is soooo horrific, let alone it was on track no. 1. What a terrible thing to start the cd. When I play cd, I skip no. 1 and the rest is simply divinely Sarah. I would have seen soooo tickled if she dueted Phantom with Gerard Butler (another macho cutie pie).Free Music Review: Good

Well, being a fan of Sarah Brightman since her Phantom days says that I liked this album, it is not her best album, but its a good singles album and for new fans to get to know her better. She always and mainly have themes in her albums, for example, FLY, more pop sounding, TIME TO SAY GOOD BYE, more classical, or just songs from Webber, but this album is just her songs from past albums. so its good to that part.
