Free Music Notes for Symphony

Free Music Review: The Angel of Music triumphs again!
Hit: 5 Stars

I have been a Sarah Brightman fan since I first heard the original "Phantom of the Opera" recording. The clear tone of her voice and the pure innocence radiating from her just caused me to fall in love. And that's saying something for a 12-year-old who really knew nothing of music at the time!

Every album she's produced since then has just confirmed and expanded upon my love for her music. I truly appreciate the vast range of her voice and the ecclectic mix of music that comprises each album. And Symphony is no different. From the moment I popped this album into my player I was completely enamored. Each track took me further and further down a path of sheer pleasure...

"Gothica" - This is the perfect opening for the album. Very gothic style but with an underlying sense of hope or breaking through. Lovely transition into "Fleurs du Mal".

"Fleurs du Mal" - This is the most popular song on the album in polls I've seen, and there's no mystery as to why. The incredible power of the orchestra and the choir make it ring out over the other album's songs and transport the listener to another world. It's hard to explain how this song feels, but I know that blasting it out my surround speakers puts my neighbors hip-hop to shame.

"Symphony" - This song has such a melancholic yet soothing melody. It's a song of loss but there is a touch of hope in a brighter future. Sometimes it's better to let go of a bad thing than to hold on to it while it festers and causes worse heartache. Beautiful.

"Canto Della Terra" - I am soooo glad she did another piece with Andrea Bocelli because their voices combine incredibly well! This song is very powerful and the melody just lifts the spirit to new horizons. One of my favorites!

"Sanvean" - This one is also hauntingly beautiful. Some have compared it to Middle Earth and I can understand why. It feels to me like nature singing in a forest clearing, the sun filtering through the trees as various wildlife pass by. Very soothing.

"I Will Be With You" - I may be one of very few people that really like this song. I like how Paul Stanley and Sarah play off each other in the piece, and the overall sound of it is very good. Yes, Paul sings over Sarah in some parts, but I think it works well with the feel of it. Many people prefer the Chris Thompson version, but this one is my personal favorite.

"Schwere Traume" - Finally, some German! This piece seems a bit dark, but it flows beautifully. German is a hard language to sing since most of the sounds are in the back of the throat, but Sarah pulled it off flawlessly.

"Sarai Qui" - Some complain that they can't listen to this one because they don't like Faith Hill's version, but I've never heard that one, and I really enjoy this piece. Besides, I'm not a big fan of Celine Dion, but Sarah's Italian version of "My Heart Will Go On" just floors me every time and is one of my favorites. This is another case where I greatly prefer Sarah's version to the original.

"Storia D'Amore" - This one is just pure Sarah. Her classical voice shines through and the piece is just innocent and breathtaking.

"Let It Rain" - I just adore this song! The sound truly reminds me of a rainy day and the lyrics speak of lost hope in finding what we desire. Just a joy to listen to!

"Attesa" - More pure classical Sarah. Beautifully strung together. Not my favorite, but it grows on me with each listen.

"Pasion" - This duet with Fernando Lima is just enchanting! Both voices mix so well and the overall sound is incredible. I just can't stop listening to it!

"Running" - Love love LOVE this song!! It's reminiscent of "Question of Honor" and I just love when Sarah combines classical and pop/rock! The green theme of this song is really good as well!

Bonus Track - Adore it! While Sarah's voice isn't part of it, it's just so powerful and wonderful to hear an orchestral track! And I concur with many who lament that it is not long enough!

Overall, I think it is one of Sarah's better albums. She has continuously amazed me with the breadth of her musical knowledge and ability. I can't wait for the tour!!
