Symphony

Customer Reviews

theft
Not only is there no credit for Holst on the final number, but there's also none for Mahler on #7! Is this LEGAL? It's really too much to see Sarah Brightman's beau and M. Soltau taking credit for Mahler's genius on "Shewere Traume." Or is this what postmodernism irony and have parody have come to: seeing how many ill-educated listeners can be hoodwinked? Other than this brazen act, this is an amusing CD. Sarah Brighman's offerings are a bit like junk food--you know they're not good for you but can't help enjoying them. There's a price, however: the insult they increasingly offer to your intelligence.

Excellent
What an amazing collection of songs, and I have to say the duet with Paul Stanely is incredible!!! This is the sort of music that adds to the soundtrack of your life. I especially enjoy listening to this when I'm in my car driving at night. It adds to the ambience already present from the darkness.

Not as Gothic as it looks.
Judging from the packaging, design and Sarah's look on this new CD, I was ready for Symphony to be a gothic/ethereal outing, with the expected classical flourishes. I was excited to finally hear Sarah go in a direction she's been flirting with from the beginning.
