CD Description
With EDEN, Broadway diva Sarah Brightman ("Requiem", "Cats") stretches beyond the constraints of what's considered showmusic. Here, she sings an assortment of classical adaptations, rock, and sleek modern pop songs.
The entrancing opener, "In Paradisum" combines pre-recorded nature sounds, atmospheric textures, and echoes of Gregorian chant, setting theregal and eclectic mood. "Nella Fantasia" is an adaptation of a tune by movie soundtrack composer Ennio Morricone, withItalian lyrics by Ferrau, and here the exquisite longing inBrightman's voice transcends all language barriers. She transforms Kansas' philosophical hit "Dust in the Wind" into a theatrical ballad that transcends time or setting. The production is lavish, judiciously mixing lustrous, gently throbbing modern pop textures, and conventional orchestration in a way that showcases the songs and the singer without being obtrusive or maudlin.

Customer Reviews

Has to be one of Sarah's best
It is hard to rank Sarah's albums as they are all so very different and well performed but Eden just has a certain extra magical appeal. I found the songs very soothing and very beautiful, just the thing to relax to and float away into your own world. Included on this CD is a version of 'My Heart Will Go On' which was sung by Celene Dion for Titanic. Sarah gives her own special touch to this song and brings its true beauty into the light. Another song to listen out for is Nessun Dorma from Turandot. Generally sung by a tenor like Pavarotti I was not sure if a female voice could do justice to its power but how wrong I was! Sarah again adds her touch to it and faithfully brings out its amazing power which takes your breath away. Her voice is truly stunning, going from innocently childlike to an opera diva. A well thought out CD with a perfect blend of songs. Really does take you into Eden!
I also recommend her concert 'Eden' which features some of these songs along with others so you can see the Angel of Music working her magic live!

Really wonderful!
This CD is a great example of what Sarah Brightman really does best. The CD is packed with beautiful songs, with Sarah's ethereal voice drifting effortlessly over them all. This CD is a worthy follow up to Timeless (Time to Say Goodbye). If you enjoyed that you will not be disappointed with this.

Join Sarah in a journey through Eden!
My favourite cd apart from La Luna, I love the mix of all sorts of music, classic, pop, old, new! I have also seen the concert which made me buy the CD, I'm well pleased! It is a beautifuly presented Cd and has wonderful music and Sarah's beautiful voice. What more could you want? Eden and So many things are the most beautiful tracks and my heart will go on (in a different language) is stunnning. Celiene Dion eat your heart out! This Cd is lovely and I urge all true fans to add it to their CD cases now!
