Sarah Brightman's Newest Album, Symphony

Sarah Brightman's Symphony
For a few years now I've been patiently waiting for a follow-up album from Sarah Brightman, after Harem I've become totally addicted to her sweet voice, I think Harem gets played at least every couple of weeks.

Between Sarah and Andrea Bocelli they've introduced me to opera, a musical style I never expected to enjoy listening to. As a child I used to run screaming from the room anytime opera was played, maybe age is mellowing me, or maybe you just have to be older to appreciate opera in a world filled with pop music.

So picture my surprise when I saw Symphony being advertised, well I just had to get it. This album takes off where Harem began with some really up-beat almost pop-like songs but the orchestral work is amazing.

And imagine my delight when I saw she's recorded another duet with Bocelli, my two favorite singers on one track again, and it is a beautiful track with some fantastic melodies.

I love the rock style songs she's picked for this album, they showcase a different Sarah, she seems more complex with this album, not so sterotyped. A couple of the tracks seem a little bit thrown together, but overall this album has been well worth waiting for so I'm glad I managed to pick up a copy.
