NotesSarah delivers a musical lover's dream, 14 of the greatest "forgotten" songs of Broadway. Covering a period of the '20's to today, this album features little known theatre gems from composers including, Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Noel Coward, Marvin Hamlisch, Stephen Sondheim and others. Sarah Brightman - the Songs That Got Away comes hot on the heels of her highly watched PBS special, national tour and Platinum success of One Night in Eden.
I COLLECT BRIGHTMAN BUT SHOULDA LET THIS ONE "GET AWAY"
The Welsh voice is a gift to the world, and my all-time favorite is diva Sarah Brightman's lyric vibrato soprano artistry videos and CDs especially of her concerts. But this I'll pass on keeping, and am sorry I bought, as I don't find this direction suits her, and the arrangements miss the mark for her too. Flashes tantalize, though, to hear her more jazzy.
My collection of musicals doesn't continue into the 21st Century since I don't like post-modern unmusical and philosophically lost/empty "entertainment." But even if I did, I still believe I would feel that these which "got away," and these arrangements, should have stayed in their millieu supporting their theatre stories fleshing them out to be more useful, like background sound tracks guide and punctuate dramas.
