Free Music Review: What's happened to Sarah's voice?
Hit: 2 Stars
I own all CD's Sarah Brightman has produced by now, and was enthrilled when her newest Symphony came out. I was looking forward to listening particularly to another collaboration with Andrea Bocelli. Oh, my Gosh!! In Bocelli's amazing song Canto Della Terra (The earth song) Sarah can't sing her best, really. Instead of singing really high soprano, she goes whispering. That happens in many other songs, which would sound otherwise fantastically. I loved Sarah and her voice by now, but this CD is a fiasco. She sounds like she didn't train her voice for a long time. The songs themselves are otherwise very likeable. Free Music Review: A Charming Return

As with any new release by Sarah Brightman, I just about ran to my car after having paid for "Symphony." I was fortunate enough to have about an hour and a half of driving ahead, so it was with great enthusiasm that I listened to the album, tolerating two questionable singles. Her voice is as timeless as ever, but I don't understand why she would cover the Italian version of "There You'll Be." (The Hill version was horrific enough.) It is one of the most deflated and meaningless songs I've ever heard, which was obviously meant to pick up where "My Heart Will Go On" left off; fortunately, it didn't. And it won't, even with Brightman's pointless rendition.
Most songs are highlights, and as always, she takes risks. I was pleasantly surprised with her Paul Stanley duet. A solid listen, the album is a pivotal return to her reign in the classical genre, after "Harem" seemingly left it in limbo.

I bought this because of a TV program on public television. Sarah Brightman's lovely voice is a joy. She performed with Allesandro Safina whom I was not acquainted with but since listening to this CD I have become a big fan of his. She is so visually exciting that it is a shame not to see her perform and being able to purchase a DVD of the concert would be wonderful.Free Music Review: Gratifying & Powerful!

WOW! Another noble and sparkling addition to Sarah Brightman's lifelong journey of unique musical artistry!
If it's true there is nothing new under the sun, as the saying goes, this artist somehow continues to combine instruments, vocals, images, and stories in a way that compels and captures one's heart and soul. Beautiful, personal musical poetry.
Sarah's music is truly incomparable - no one has created so many richly textured visual & musical experiences.
Keep listening until it becomes part of you. Study the lyrics & music for stories of crippling bondage, dark compulsion, poignant loss, sadness, regret, longing, love & passion. It's all there - a "Symphony" of emotion - from delicate tenderness to poundingly fierce passion.
Sarah's music is both restoration and sanctuary - a reminder that life's journey will be hard, but there is a silver lining and higher purpose we may glimpse someday.
Thank you again, Sarah Brightman, for giving the world another intimate & beautiful work of artistry that speaks so eloquently to the human experience.

Absolutely beautiful audio cd offered here in Phoenix, Arizona by our PBS television station in their fund drives. Naturally, the price here at Amazon is so much better.
