On La Luna - The Album
• Dan Aquilante, NEW YORK POST: "Sarah Brightman offers a 15-song disc of international pop and classical adaptations that is dovetailed to her famous upper register."
• PEOPLE MAGAZINE: "Worth A Listen" - "The ethereal soprano gives full theatrical treatment to operetta works by Beethoven, Handel, Dvorak, Rachmaninoff and, yes, Procol Harum."
• DALLAS MORNING NEWS: "Sarah Brightman embraces the pop and classical genres with equal elegance, never forgetting her songs' inherent themes. Ms. Brightman uses her sterling soprano to full effect on pop pieces and operatic excursions. Her pipes become the tour guide on this dreamy trip."
• BARNES & NOBLE.COM; "Enamored of the mysteries of the moon and inspired by the many composers and poets who have been similarly enchanted, the british soprano and her trusted producer, Frank Peterson, have Grafted a stunning song cycle...this album proves Sarah can sing just about anything."
• LAUNCH.COM: "Sarah Brightman lends her ethereal, angelic vocals to another combination of classical and pop, resulting in a solid, stirring collection...the uncanny thing is how canny Brightman is at bridging the contemporary with the classics so that they seem timeless." |

On La Luna Concert taken from La Luna tour brochure
A Breathtaking production - the most memorable concert of the year - Washington Post
the petite singer with the glorious voice . . . it was the crystalline purity of her voice that carried Brightman's 90 minute show - New York Post
She's forged a very personal musical image of her own in the crossover market, embracing rock, new age and techno pop while continuing to improve her operatic range. - Denver Post
the show stopping set . . . took the concept of soaring vocals to new heights - Boston Herald
"Comparable to an ancient Greek display of sight and sound intended to affirm the powers of Athena, the program—like the cover image on her new album 'La Luna'—presented Brightman as a focal point of admiration and wonder for her ever enthusiastic fans." LOS ANGELES TIMES
“Brightman
is a truer diva in the traditional sense than any of the pop vocal acrobats
who have been so dubbed – Mariah, Whitney, Celine, et al. While she has a
powerful voice, she never pushes or overreaches; Brightman more often
compels and even soothes to enchant with an elegant mystery.”
Hollywood Reporter “They say a star must be a study in contradictions, someone mysterious and difficult to define. If that’s the case, Sarah Brightman strongly qualifies. She is a delicate waif one minute, operatic diva the next. She offers her own form of rock – soprano belting – switches to classical and then expertly combines all her identities. Through transitions from sweetheart to seductress, she maintains a majestic distance, like a queen dispensing generous gifts to her adoring subjects.” Daily Variety |

I am a HUGE Sarah Brightman fan, especially of her early work. I'd just like to say before I go any further that your site is the most comprehensive SB website I have visited, and you've really created a treasure trove of priceless Sarah mementos. - SB fan
The best Sarah Brightman site on the net in terms of information, rare photos, full album and singles discography, theatre and many more - from the unofficial Greek website
"The first SB site to have an almost complete discography", SB: The Early Years is a treat to visit! An extensive timeline of Sarah's career and other goodies. Images? TONS of images!! From all eras of Sarah's career, but concentrating on her early years (hence the name of the site!) from Sarah Brightman Link Source
I didn't know you are the GENIUS of my preferred Sarah Brightman "unofficial" site... Yours is the best for me!!!! Jose Roberto
Just had to send my compliments on that
fantastic website. Very impressive; very informative.
I've liked Sarah before but it was only this year that I went full on into
her music and can call myself a fan. But now I can start hunting for the
rare tracks. Thank you v much. Cheers, Guhan (Greetings
from Singapore)
By the way, Your website is wonderful, I've never seen many of Sarah's old pics. She looks beautiful and I think it was a good idea to create a web site with old Sarah stuff! Very original! Best Wishes Carlos |
