Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0724355651129 Label: Angel Records Manufacturer: Angel Records MPN: 56511 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Angel Records Release Date: September 23, 1997 Studio: Angel Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: 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. --Robert Levine Amazon.com: Sarah Brightman Photos

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Reasons She'll Live ForeverArguably the least flawed of her albums, Brightman's "Time To Say Goodbye" is a collection of songs (new and classic standards) which could argue were written exclusively for her. Flawless duets galore and high notes that bring tears to listeners, her powerful voice generates more emotion with its dramatic storytelling than any film actress alive could do with the same material, using voice and facial emotion. A must have for fans, and those interested in La Divina for the 1980s and beyond. Rating: - EnjoymentIf you are looking for a versatile and pleasant female voice to listen to, this would make a great addition to your collection. Rating:  - Pop crossover, not classical!As a classical singer, I'm depressed to see Sarah Brightman listed in Classical Vocal at all. The world is full of excellent, clear-voiced sopranos; Sarah Brightman, like Andreas B, is a POP music singer. Broadway is a different industry with different priorities, and kudos to her for her excellent work there... but this is *not* classical music. The sound on this CD seems to underline the fact that Brightman's voice is not really made for classical repertoire like Orff and Puccini- ...

Hearing her sing is an relief from all the carbage we hear daily on the radio en TV Rating: - Everyone has different tastes in musicWith that being said, I will never understand how anyone could not appreciate this album, or Sarah Brightman's music, in general. I would not go so far and say that she is the be all and end all of soprano singers, and there are most assuredly others who have a bigger range, or are capable of belting out powerful notes with ease. But there is no denying that Ms. Brightman is incredibly gifted. She sings with such a purity and grace, so much so that when listening to her you feel at ease with life ... Read More |
