I realize this sound odd, but her version of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" was probably the weakest selection on the CD. Brightman gets to display her considerable range in these selections. In the "The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection," Sarah Brightman, ex-wife of the composer Andrew Lloyd Webber sings a selection of his work, all of which are well done but a few are outstanding. However another selection from Evita, "Another Suitcase in Another Hall," was very well presented. There are several selections from "The Phantom of the Opera." Of these selections "The Music of the Night" is especially well done. I was not familiar with "Love Changes Everything" but found this to be one of the strongest selections on the CD. Only on a few selections, such as "Memory" does a slight screech begins to emerge from her usually warm voice. Yet, `Pie Jesu' was perfect and the entire collection ends with `The Music of the Night', her strongest performance.
I'm a Sarah Brightman fan and looked forward to her interpretations of Andrew Lloyd Webber's music. It's a great album, ranging from the ethereal "Piu Jesu" to the gritty "Don't Cry For Me" and Sir John Gielgud's spoken lyrics. As I listen to her duet with Jose Carreras, I find myself wondering why she never collaborated with Placido Domingo.
I never received it from RACHEL4987. I have told her twice and I have told you twice to no avail. I am not a happy customer.
I'm a huge fan of Sarah Brightman's and listening to her sing all of these amazing Andrew Lloyd Webber songs is great. My favourite song would have to be Amigos Para Siempre the song she sings with Jose Carreras which always gets repeated a couple of times.I was also happy to finally find an album of Sarah Brightman's with Michael Crawford on it too as the phantom and not Steve Harley for a change.Recommend this album to anyone who love's Andrew Lloyd Webber's music or the voice of Sarah Brightman.
Great starter album in the series of Andrew Lloyd Webebr Collections. There are atleast 4 currently.
