artistry at its finest
I believe what makes Sarah's albums so engaging, interesting, and worthwhile isn't just her voice, but her choice of songs- which all goes back to her use and choice of themes.
Her albums and concerts are beautiful and captivating because she delivers a theme with every album that sucks us into a fantasy world, and music and her beautiful voice is the method by which she pulls us in.
She chose a wonderful repertoire for La Luna, and the songs all fit perfectly with her theme of the moon. Her voice is a God given gift, also. There are sopranos out there that can train for life but not come close to the control and skill of Sarah Brightman. There's just something about the way she delivers her songs that enhance her voice even more.
Her voice is clear, her tone is pure and resonant, and the theme for this album is absolutely delightful. The songs she chose are intriguing and mysterious, full of layers. ... -

Nice Compilation
I'm a big Sarah Brightman fan, but I've got to say that Classics isn't as exciting as Eden, Goodbye, or Luna. Classics is a collection, not really an album. Sarah relies heavily on themes as an additional drive behind her albums, but Classics lacks a thematic purpose. It's like her other collections- Andrew Lloyd Webber and Songs That Got Away. If you enjoyed listening to those two collections, Classics is perfect for you. If you preferred albums with the thematic edge and mythological craftings of Eden and Luna, though, you won't find that in Classics. It's a nice collection of songs that could be considered classical.
Her voice is pristine and crystal clear as always, though. ...
