Free Music Notes for Eden (US Release - 16 tracks)
Free Music Review: Beautiful, with lots of Drama
Hit: 4 Stars
For a while I had the tendency to avoid this pretentious small voiced singer, until I heard this album playing in a store one time. Sarah Brightman does have a lovely voice and it does go well with the songs chosen.
Highlighting my favorites: "In Paradisum" is a beautiful beginning to this album. "Eden" which is a simple but dramatic crossover. "So Many Things" has a haunting delicate quality that's attention catching and relaxing at the same time. "Anytime, Anywhere" is crossover mixing of dramatic classical parts and calm pop parts, blending with this album well. "Dust In the Wind" is one of the better versions of this song. "Deliver Me" is slower, dramatic and beautiful and describes what the title states. "Scene D'Amour" has the right amount of drama and is very haunting.
Drama is the main theme of this album which is nice at the same time can be annoying since all the songs are made to be dramatic, though I do love this album and would recommend it to first time Brightman listeners.
Free Music Review: Stunningly beautiful as it is varied
Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard this woman's ineffably wondrous and varied vocal expertise on "The Phantom of the Opera" written by ex-husband Andrew Lloyd Webber for her. As singular as that musical experience was, it is in "Eden" that I believe she attains an aesthetic zenith. Listening to this epic while at work over a period of several months, songs from the album have inflitrated my auditory spirit. The feeling is so delightfully ephemeral that one remembers almost with nostalgia past musical ecstasies encountered. And this feeling grows, for me, until certain sectional climaxes are almost unbearable, such as the orchestral crescendo of "Il Mio Cuore Va".
I concur with the reviewer below who astutely observes that "Very few albums like "Eden" are made -- it draws its listeners in through intrigue and beauty rather than any obvious ploys for attention. It's hard to imagine just how it could be better than it is -- a few tweaks here and there, but no song feels out of place or superfluous. Whether she's reworking covers or dipping into Puccini, the music sounds flawless and uniform." Sarah Brightman's melodious utterances provide holy communion with utter beauty.
Free Music Review: Pure Escape
Hit: 4 Stars
Listening to this cd is some sort of an escape.
It is enticing, mysterious, and a little bit reminiscent of Enigma with Gregorian Chants and unique melodies.
The song that I had to have was "Deliver me" a beautiful and haunting visual ballad/song that made me feel like I went back in time.
Gorgeous and sensual music, for any type of music preference, mood or interest range!
Free Music Review: My first and favorite Sarah Brightman cd
Hit: 5 Stars
I first discovered Sarah Brightman when PBS was showing her One night in Eden concert and I was hooked from then on. Eden is one fantastic song after the other and I have so many favorites. But the songs that I listen to the most are: In Paradisum, Eden, Anytime, Anywhere, Dust in the wind, Il mio coure va, Deliver me, Tu, Only an ocean away, and The Last words you said. But the most powerful song on the cd is Nessun Dorma, which I have grown to love over the years. If you have never bought a Sarah Brightman cd before, I suggest buying this one first because you get both opera and her more pop songs. And if you're a fan but don't have Eden in your collection yet, you must get it and you won't regret it.Free Music Review: Great, one of my favorites from her
Hit: 4 Stars
I love her classical, operatic performances, however I'm not much of a fan of her pop-ish, new age songs. That being said, this is still a wonderful album. I can't help but congratulate her for making a version of "My Heart Will Go On" that I can tolerate, much less enjoy.
