Music Review: Sarah Brightman - Symphony: Live In Vienna - Page 2

“Fleurs Du Mal” is one of those over the top productions that works. Rock guitars and drums meld with a full orchestra and a choir joins in on the chorus. Her voice floats about it all on in a memorable performance.

“Sarai Qui,” with Safina, is the best of the duets. They both have the experience not to overpower each other. They relate easily and her experience on the stage serves her well.

“Running” is a tremendously unique type of performance. Think of a classic soprano fronting a rock band. While the orchestra ultimately pushes it in a gentler direction, it remains a creative fusion of classical and rock music.

Symphony: Live In Vienna is a visual and audio delight. Pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back, and prepare yourself to be transported to a different world.

    I totally agree that Sarah is a gift from heaven- extremely talented with angelic looks. She is a once-in-a lifetime talent.

    Yes Sarah Brightman sings like an Angel,but she is also a "GODDESS" as well1!

    I think that sums it up.
