Product Description
Amazon.com essential recording
In this follow-up to the smashing success of her 1997 CD Time to Say Goodbye, Sarah Brightman continues down the primrose crossover path, blithely gliding from covers of Hooverphonic (the title track) and Kansas ("Dust in the Wind") to Puccini and film scores (Titanic and The English Patient). Sometimes, as in "Anytime, Anywhere," the crossover happens within the same song--in this case welding a rhythm track to the somber harmonies of Albinoni's "Adagio." But there's nary a stylistic speed bump to jolt her listeners, as Brightman focuses her tiny, seraphic voice like a beam of light on each melody. The result, bless her heart, may be the invention of a whole new form of kitsch. Like plastic surgery, Brightman's years of specialized vocal training have helped refine her ability to float confidently well-rounded, sparkling tones in her upper range. These have a Dresden china-like, touching fragility in such songs as "So Many Things" and are well-suited to the gauzily romantic (and overproduced) gloss of the string-heavy arrangements that predominate. Eden also introduces Brightman as songwriter ("In Paradisum," with its mix of sitar and modal chant) and features a bonus track unavailable on the album's European-released version ("The Last Words You Said"). --Thomas May

The best Sarah Brightman album?,
By Leila Kirves (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eden (Audio CD)
Many people argue that 'Eden' has been Sarah's best work, I can't say that it's not because I love all of her work, but this is a definate favourite.This album is a very tranquil, calming one with many great songs written. 'In Paradisum' is one she wrote with Frank Peterson which I absolutley adore, too bad it's not any longer, leading into the title track 'Eden', it is one that stays with you forever with the Gregorian chants. I also love her cover of 'Dust in the Wind', and I like it much better than the original by Kansas. Another song many would reckognize is an italian version of 'My Heart Will go On', I do however prefer Celine Dion's version but this one is a nice contrast from the English version. As for the rest of the album it has a great mix of both classical (Nessun Dorma) and contemporary (The Last Words You Said).

A travesty,
By
This review is from: Eden (Audio CD)
Not content with disgracing opera, Brightman has to extend her toxic touch to pop music. Hooverphonic's original version of "Eden" is far more evocative than the showy, sugar-coated mess that is the title track of this CD.

Brightman STILL does not have it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eden (Audio CD)
Read these words carefully: she has no power, no volume, no dramatic ability whatsoever. Her limited vocal resources have no business in the Puccini repertoire. Listen to real artists such as the likes of Angela Gheorghiu, Ruth Ann Swenson,or Renee Fleming, before you call Sara Brightman an "Angel of Music." As if! Merely possessing an agreeable tone quality with all the training in the world does not compensate for lack of voice. The world is loaded full of a vast amount of singers who have more talent in their little fingers than this fake. Listen to a clip from one of the artists above and then see how wonderful Brightman is.
