- The Good, the Excellent and the Brilliant

Fans of Sarah Brightman have expressed mixed opinions on this `Best Of' release.

Being labeled as a `crossover' artist I think can be a burden, for there are times when he/she will perform opera and classical music but get criticized by the `classical buffs' for trying to step on the toes of their treasured elitist professional musicians of the classical world.

Then there is the criticism from fans of `popular music', who see their idol apparently deserting their pop roots and alienating themselves by joining the orchestral high society club.

So when pop meets classical is there always friction?

No, I don't side with either of these views, for I believe everyone is free to sing anything ... Read More:

- Classics: the Best of Sarah Brightman
The best way to think of this set from Sarah Brightman is to think of an artist/painter who is displaying some of their best , and popular work , in an exhibition. Yes the exhibition may change from year to year as the artists body of work grows but it also provides the best insight of what that artists wants you to currently see. This album is every bit as valueable as Sarahs other "best ofs" and is greatly enhanced by the inclusion of the Hareme songs .

- A soothing, uplifting, and moving collection.
Sarah Brightman is the original voice of an angel. Her voice has a unique quality that is both sensual and comforting. This collection has been chosen well as it features some of her very best recordings. Her recording of The Music Of The Night from the Phantom of the Opera always moves me. Sarah's Ave Maria is faultess and beautiful. And A Question of Honour provides the perfect bookend to this collection. A must-buy.

- This isn't the best of Sarah Brightman
This isn't really the 'Best of' Sarah Brightman at all. It's more 'these are the most famous songs I have done so you will pick this CD up and buy it' of Sarah Brightman. Besides, she has three other 'Best Of's on release which are all remarkably better than this one.

It's worrying that someone new to Sarah Brightman would buy this and then think this is what Sarah has to offer. Practically all these songs are classical. There is no problem with that but it's only one of the many areas that Sarah has explored throughout her career. It was to my understanding that a 'Best Of' really does showcase the best of that artist. This compilation of her songs is truely pigeon-holed to meet classical standards, which is foolish since Sarah ... Read More:

i got this last week,and its never been out of my cd player,every night i get home, work weary and tired,flick this on while running a bath and feel like a new person by the end of it..probably my favorite compilation so far from sarah,every track is just beautiful and all my favs are there.
if you are new to sarah brightman give it a try and take no notice of all this "cross over artist"talk, sarah has a beautiful pure and well trained soprano voice
just gorgeous thankyou sarah!
