Product ReviewsTime to Say Goodbye by Sarah Brightman (CD, 1997)

This is what I wanted to hear!

After listening to and trashing LA LUNA because, well...it was trash, I slipped in this disc. Folks, there is a difference between night and day, fire and water, Sarah and Sarah.

I had heard a couple of tracks on SKY.FM and wasn't sure which cd to order. I let other people's opinion influence my decision. I read the reviews on Amazon and, quite frankly, it appears now that there are quite a few Sarah Bingham fans writing the reviews. They would praise her effort as if she was attempting to sing underwater while in reality she was gasping for air.

This disc was quite a revelation into an incredible angelic voice. I believe this is the true Sarah, the music she was meant to sing. I found LA LUNA to be too contrived, too much fluff, and too predictable. Duets on this CD are wonderful featuring Andrea Bocelli and one that I am not familiar with, Jose Cura.

This is what I wanted to hear…a strong voice, strong arrangements (how can you screw up the London Symphony Orchestra), and a stellar song selection. You will stop dead in your tracks once you hear her celestial rendition of IN PACE. Where did this voice come from...only from above.

I would like to think that she had a lot of fun making this recording. Lots of preparation, lots of practice, lots of rehearsals. The end result is something truly worthy of any classical collection. And I am not a classical fanatic. I listen to anything, any era, any genre, any style or origin. In order to appreciate music you need to experience music...all music.

I think that if you had to select one cd as a worthwhile representation of her range and capabilities, this would be the one to start out with.

You will appreciate and enjoy this disc.

Time to say goodbye.

Ciao Caro.Read full review...

A Rare Treat for Your Ears!

I first heard the song, "Time to Say Goodbye" on an e-mail video that someone sent me showing a huge fountain in Dubai (undoutedly built with our high gas money). "Time to Say Goodbye" was playing as the fountain danced. I immediately found it on EBay and sent for the CD. The entire CD is a real joy to hear - beautifully done by Sarah Brightman, Andrea Bocelli, and others. You won't be disappointed! We hicks out West don't have access to this kind of music unless we pay for satellite radio.Read full review...

A favorite of mine

I had owned this cd years ago, love to clean house by it. It was lost for some time and I recently replaced it and again remember how much I love it! There are only a couple songs I could do without but still I listen to them because they aren't horrible or anything.
Time To Say Goodbye is a song that brings out so much emotion, just amazing voices!
My son always says make it louder when we play it in the car (he's 3).
Definitely worth buying if you love opera music!Read full review...

Sarah Brightman-Awesome!

After attempting to find some relaxing, soothing music on the FM stations, with no luck, it's refreshing to pop the "Time to Say Goodbye" CD in the player, close my eyes, and listen to one of the most beautiful voices singing some of the most bautiful songs. Can't help but get you in a good mood.Read full review...

Buy it. You'll like it.

How can an album be soothing and uplifting at the same time? I first heard this album playing softly in the background at a neighbor's house. My ears perked up, and I wrote down the title. This is a keeper. I'm not an opera-oriented fan, but I just can't deny beautiful music when I hear it.Read full review...

Sarah - as usual - beautiful

That gentle bell tone voice at it's best - once again
