Search - Sarah Brightman :: Diva: The Singles Collection

"Too Much Form, Not Enough Substance"

"I recently heard Sarah Brightman referred to as "the greatest soprano

alive today". Whoever thinks that does not know many sopranos. Take

Sarah away from recording studio equipment and sound engineers, and her

voice fades and flutters. If you want to hear a great living soprano,

try Joan Sutherland. Or, Kiri Te Kanawa. Or, Dawn Upshaw. Or, Krista

Santilli. Or, Julieta Aleman. My list could be longer, but I believe

I've made my point. Call Sarah Brightman what she really is:

a commercially successful, but artistically mediocre chanteuse.

I rate this album a five on a scale of ten. Ray Harp, April 5, 2009"

"I bought this for my 34 year old daughter who had never heard of Sarah. I think these songs are perfect for someone to grasp the essence of who she is and her talent. Just trying to enlighten the younger crowd to a broader range of musical talent."
