Editorial Reviews :
Fans of small, pretty-voiced soprano Sarah Brightman will not be disappointed by this CD. In addition to some pop songs, Brightman sings high-flying excerpts from Orff's Carmina Burana, Puccini's 'O mio babbino caro' (performed better by almost any other operatic soprano elsewhere), and 'Alleluia' from Mozart's Exsultate Jubilate. One might call this a crossover disc; others might just see it as a recording featuring a pop singer with artsy aspirations. Whatever it is, Brightman's fans love her; others do not. Two duets with tenor Jose Cura remind the listener what opera singing really ought to sound like.
Buyer Reviews :
I'd rather listen to Sarah Brightman than watch her. Her voice is lovely, but very small. Her technique, I think, is miniscule. She does not belong in operatic repertoire. All that criticism out of the way, I'll say this is a most delightful album! (Surprise!).
I'm weary of hearing Bocelli, who I find sometimes pleasant at best, but essentially boring, so forget the first number. 'There's No One Like You' is gorgeous. The two duets with young Jose Cura are sensational, although that's because of Cura, who has a stunning voice and with his singing and acting skills and appearance/personality ought to be a much bigger star than Bocelli. Any of you who haven't: listen to him, watch him when you can. This is THE big tenor star on the rise.
The 'Aranjuez' number by Brightman is ever so appealing, as is 'In Trutino'. Yes, her voice is too small for the 'La Wally' aria, but it's pretty nonetheless, as, of course, is 'O mio babbino caro.' All in all, this CD is somehow just an enjoyable listen. I even like her read on the Gypsy Kings number.
