nice CD for fans of this genre:
Ok, so Sarah Brightman isn't generally my cup of tea, but I actually enjoyed this CD. I bought it for my bf and we listened to it three times in the car before I got annoyed! :) It really is a good CD--go ahead, buy it...
Music From The Elder:
Thumbs up to Sarah and Mr. Stanley. I am proud to be a KISS fan!!
It's a good album:
I own and love all of Sarah's albums. I didn't immediately fall in love with this one, but it did grow on me. I know I'm in the minority but I don't like Fleurs Du Mai (I always skip it). My favorite songs are Symphony, Canto Della Terra - featuring Andrea Bocelli, Let It Rain and Pasión - featuring Fernando Lima (his voice is so beautiful!).
I have this Album:
I became aware of Sarah Brightman by watching a PBS program with her performing SYMPHONY in a cathedral. I was amazed at her pure voice and the range of her voice. I literally "fell in love" with her music and her style of singing. This album is a MUST if you like Sarah Brightman.
