Summary: Sarah is a cherubic goddess in first concert video
Review: Sarah Brightman's first concert video, performed live at the Royal Albert Hall and recorded in September 1997, contains material taken from Time To Say Goodbye, The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection, and songs not on any other album. Hearing the latter material is the real treat, and makes me wish a studio rendition would be put out on a future album. The opening number, "Bailero," would later appear on her Eden album.In particular is her rendition of the Spanish-tinged "Chanson Espagnol" and Grieg's "Solveig's Song." In the latter song, she covers her face with her hands, removes them, and sings, finishing the song with the covering gesture. Ever since hearing "O Mio Babbino Caro" on Classics, I've really come to enjoy this song more than ever since hearing it on Time To Say Goodbye. And seeing her perform "Tu Quieres Volver" and "Who Wants To Live Forever" alone is worth the video. No, she does not bow out after "Music Of The Night." She does an encore by dragging out Andrea Bocelli, and singing...um.. oh yeah, "Time To Say Goodbye." She concludes with "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" from Evita. The concert is divided in three sections, the first set of songs being the more operatic, up to the medley, and the second set utilizing her pop vocal, from "Tu Quieres Volver" to "Whistle Down The Wind," by which time her voice is all rested up and ready to go on the Phantom songs and the encore. One comment on "Music Of The Night." What a nerve ALW had in giving that song to the phantom! It's Sarah's by right and she proves it too! Sarah's face is a little moon-faced here, and that aspect of her lends to her beauty. It gives her face more articulation, especially when her eyes bulge round whenever she hits a high note. She reminds me of a very cute hootie owl. And I am blown away by that sweet smile of hers. Sarah is easily a supernova compared to her guest performers, even ex-husband Andrew Lloyd Webber, who plays piano as she sings "Whistle Down The Wind." Young choirboy Adam Clarke, who joins her on "Pie Jesu," looks very bashful, but that's understandable, as he is no doubt overwhelmed at performing on stage live and alongside a goddess. And as for poor Andrea Bocelli, well, need I say more? At least someone made sure his tie was straight. Seeing Sarah sing instead of hearing her merely sing her on five-inch silver disc is a triple treat, of which there are two other servings: the Eden and La Luna concert videos. Stay tuned!

Summary: Sarah's First DVD
Review: This is Sarah's First DVD concert. Not the best of her concerts in my opinion - no flying motions, flashing lights, fireworks, e.t.c. but it DID have Andrea Boticelli sining the famous duet "Time to Say Goodbye" with Sarah. Overall a good purchase, and a must have for any true lover of Sarah Brightman.

Summary: Very good, but should¿ve been on DVD.
Review: This is the first Sarah Brightman video I purchased, which I found less than intriguing after buying the "One Night in Eden" video some time afterward. Andrea Bocelli was worth it, though.

Summary: Lovely Video that displays what she can do
Review: This video is great for those fans that can't get enough of Sarah although I will admit that the only reason that I didnt give this Video like I do any other piece of work by Sarah Brightman is because she simply isnt that appealing to me with the wide eye trance she looks like she is when she is singing. Her artistry still is wonderfully displayed here showing her true passion coming from the heart. Sarah Brightman is an artist worth buying music and concerts.

Summary: Sarah is lovely and sweet, but why the lip-synching?
Review: Sarah starts off kind of wooden but always smiles disarmingly at the audience; she gets somewhat better as the concert continues but the reality of this concert is marred by her lipsynching "Tu Quieres Volver" from her "Time to Say Goodbye" album (recorded 11/96-3/97; this concert dated 9/97) and "Who Wants to Live Forever" from the same album (she also lip-synchs the same track on her EDEN video!) There are, however, some lovely moments.

Summary: simply great
Review: A lot of people try to compare this concert with "Eden". The two concerts are quite different. Eden is more theatrical, were Sarah sings, dances and performs with great costumes, lighting affects, male dancers and beautiful stage background. In this concert, Sarah does what she is most famous for. She sings, and boy can she sing. In the 1st part of the concert she thrills her viewers with classical songs such as Summertime, O Mio Babbino Caro and Chanson Espagnol. Then smoothly and effortlesly she glides into the pop songs. Her rendition of songs from West Side Story, Tu Quieres Volver, and Anrew LLoyd Webber's Whistle Down the Wind is simply breathtaking. She breathes life into these songs with her heavenly voice, facial expression, and body movement. In addition there are the songs from Phantom and Time to say Goodbye. How can anybody not enjoy this magnificent concert is beyond me. Simply great and highly recomended.
