Summary: Ethereal Goddess Returns
Comment: Angel of music Sarah Brightman emerges as an ethereal goddess of the moon in this album. A misty collage of images and sounds that associate with the moon, the album is has no fixed genre but lets listeners paint a picture in their minds.
A journey from classical to contemporary music, Brightman succeeds in creating a mystical and frosty atmosphere- sound that wraps around the room like silk shawl.
The album cover design is almost as important as the music itself. Brightman- considerably lighter (in weight) than when we last saw her- is portrayed floating in the sky, eyes closed.
One of the best tracks is Scarborough Fair which is a lovely tune in itself. Brightman's slight, quivering voice goes well with the atmosphere of faded memories. La Califfa is an Ennio Morricone arrangement for Brightman from the famous film Cinema Paradiso. Although Brightman sings songs that were already sung by many other people, her unique colour is deeply seeped into each piece. Producer Frank Peterson has also done a magnificent job of weaving in Brightman's thin silk thread voice into a tapestry of luxuriant sounds.
It cannot be said that Brightman sang particularly well, sometimes her thin voice can be rather annoying, and from beginning to end, the album is monotone in character, but the beautiful melodies compensate. I would expect that people would either love the album or hate it, depending on whether or not they like Brightman's voice. The Korean license includes the Bee Gee's First of May which isn't available in the U.S. version. Three and half stars out of five.

Summary: Amazing!!!!
Comment: I've never been paying attention to her, but after I borrowed her La Luna CD from public library, and listened to one of her songs from this album This Love becomes one of my greatest songs all times. Now, surely I like her, and I cannot wait for her Christmas album. Her Scarborough Fair..........is so wonderful.

Summary: Over the top
Comment: What pulls this up to 3 stars is Brightman's voice; what pull it down to 3 stars is the extreme way-over-the-top production. I had to make sure it wasn't produced by Phil Specter. Well it was actually Frank Peterson who manages to throw everything at us, including an echo chamber, reverb, distortion, lush strings, drums, a choir - I think I even heard a bagpipe in one cut. This is what they did with Paris Hilton to hide the fact she can't sing. Well, Sarah can sing but you really have to work to hear it. She got some bad advice on this one. Hope she can find a producer who can highlight her marvelous voice and not cover it with all that extraneous noise.
