Sarah Brightman Artist Snapshot:

British siren Sarah Brightman started her musical career as a pure popster, singing dance music with the hit UK group Hot Gossip in the late '70s. Before long, though, her angelic voice and striking beauty led her to musical theater, and she starred in Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit show CATS (she would eventually marry the composer). In due course, she found herself on Broadway in PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. Brightman had a number of hits with songs from various musicals in which she appeared, but by the '90s she was a full-fledged crossover star bridging the worlds of opera, showtunes, and pop with hit albums containing everything from Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" to Puccini's "Nessun Dorma."

Review

Entertainment Weekly (11/23/01, p.83) - "...Brightman's a stronger song stylist than a singer, but her reedy soprano sounds less shrill and more mature here..." - Rating: B-

Sure, she's as close as you can get to naked in the album artwork. OK, so there's an insert hawking Sarah Brightman calendars, coffee mugs, and sweatshirts. Yes, there's a fair amount of calculation likely in her pop-classical crossover. That doesn't mean the lady can't sing like an angel. Before the embryo-with-pipes known as Charlotte Church came along, Brightman was THE pop-classical singer, whose supernatural pipes allowed her to appeal to both camps with equal verve. CLASSICS proves that, aided by a bevy of orchestras and choirs, Brightman is still big coin in the crossover world. And she's got a lot more traditional operatic chops than little Miss Church to boot. Making her way through old warhorses like "Pie Jesu," "Ave Maria," and "Nessun Dorma," Brightman manages to invest these tracks with new life, and when she takes on the Linda Ronstadt tune "Winter Light" she brings to it an ethereal majesty that leaves no question as to her interpretive abilities on the pop side of the fence.
