Sarah Brightman - One Night in Eden

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This concert is wonderful, an improvement especially after her first solo concert video in 1997. As the title suggests, the majority of the material she sings comes from her most recent CD, "Eden". Sarah's gorgeous costumes, the red curtain draping over the stage, the candles set around the orchestra and the dancers all help to create a surrealistic atmosphere. This video is a must for a Sarah Brightman fan. The only reason I didn't reward it five stars is that it seems in some of the selections that she is lip synching, which takes away from the experience very much. Still, it's a treat to watch and hear.

Summary: Excellent Performance!
Review: Sarah Brightman continues to be a shining star in the music field. Her performance here in Africa once again proves the caliber of her vocal range and extensive talent. It comes as no surprise that the most recent top hit musicals (Cats, and Phanton of the Opera) were written specifically for her voice. She truly shines in this performance.

Summary: Terrific Concert
Review: The first time we saw this concert we were on the 3rd floor, 3 rows from the back wall. From where we sat, Sarah was 2 inches tall. However, we realized that it was a great concert and had to see it again. This time we made sure that we had excellent seats. The first half of the concert went by like 5 minutes. Sarah's delivery was impeccable. She sang, she danced and was even uplifted in the air to simulate floating in the sea. Absolutely spectacular. She looked gorgeous. Her voice fell softly on the ear, yet was powerful enough to do "Nessun Dorma" and "My Heart Will Go On" in Italian. The music, the songs, the lighting effects and the costumes were great. The concert was most enjoyable and uplifting to the soul. The video brings this magnificent concert to life, and as a plus has Sarah talking about her music. Now the Eden CD is in my car & the video makes the 1 hour on the treadmill go by like 10 minutes. Best money I ever spent...

Summary: It Will Take Your Breath Away !
Review: I don't normally write reviews but.. I have to say.. I saw this concert in Maine, and it was so amazing that I saw it again where I live, in Boston, six days later. I could not believe how much she took my breath away. If your a Sarah Brightman fan, than this is a MUST! If you just know her from phantom or are curious.. It is still a must. When you see this, you will be addicted to her stunning voice, her ability to touch your emotions, and her theatrical talent. The video made me feel it all over again. I really thought I was there again. If you give her a chance to take your breath away... She will. You won't be sorry.. You will want more and more even after the video is over..

Summary: Sarah is lovely, but might be even better w/ better material
Review: This video is better than her other video, Sarah Brightman in Concert, mainly because the songs were not as good on the latter. To me, listening to Sarah talk in her interview at the end of this Eden video was as enjoyable as hearing her sing. Her lilting, upper-class British accent does not have the pretentiousness sometimes associated with that accent. I love to listen to her and Julie Andrews talk or sing. They both are unusually charming, classy singers and actresses. But could someone tell me the name of Sarah's voice-over song being played while she talks at the end of the interview, from the time she is playing with the lion cubs through the rolling of the credits. It is a high-pitched, hauntingly beautiful song, and the best on the album, in my opinion. And if someone knows the name of the song, could you tell me if she is shown singing this song on any of her other videos. Thanks in advance.

Summary: Sarah is Great on DVD
Review: Overall the DVD was great, very good video. The sound does not appear to be true Dolby Digital, however the sound was good enough. NO SUBTITLE option which makes it nice if you are not familiar with the words. Sarah was great, the songs were very good. I would buy it again.

Summary: EDEN
Review: i have been following sarah brightman for the past 7 years and now, FINALLY, more people (fans) are recognizing how her voice could sweep you off of your feet. for the more younger crowd, like myself, although i LOVE her operatic ensembles as well, purchase the "Dive," album. it has songs similar to "Eden," and "Deliver me" on the "Eden," album. i hope this will help you decide whether or not to purchase this album and ALL of the albums she has available.

Summary: The Only Concert DVD I Own!
Review: I normally do not watch a concert on the television in the DVD format, but this one I just had to get and I love it! Have already watched it many times and many more to come. Friends and family also have come and are also going to buy it. The DVD format is the way to go if you can...

Summary: There can be miracles when you believe
Review: I was anxiously awaiting this concert... I ended up seeing it 2 times, and 1 of those times I got to meet Sarah. She has the best personality of anybody I've ever met! I got 2 of my CD's autographed, Phantom and Eden. But the concert.... oh it was so great! She sang beautifully, not a song lip-synched (maybe 1 or 2 on the vid), sets were fantastic, just a great video all in all! For any Sarah fan, or any music fan, get this, you will be touched. If not, you don't have human emotions.

Summary: Hauntingly beautiful!
Review: Saw clips of this video on a PBS fundraising telethon, found it through Amazon, and ordered it immediately. I found it very "otherworldly", and the images and music linger in my mind long after I've turned the video off. Ms. Brightman has mixed operatic music with the more contemporary, providing something for all tastes. I wish I'd known about her and her tour at the time--I would have traveled to see her--but the video is probably better than any seat I could have found at the live concert. I'm looking forward to more videos from this nightingale.
