INTRODUCTION After the relative flights of fancy that were Eden and La Luna Sarah returns to serious form again with this compilation release. It is quite evident that it is intended as a showcase for Sarah's remarkable operatic voice, and what a voice it is! Eight of her arias from the previous albums are featured, along with seven all-new recordings. Occurring as every odd-numbered track, some of these new recordings are actually of songs already featured before on Sarah's albums. As with The Very Best Of compilation, this selection only offers a taste of Sarah's solo career and most of the material will be familiar to many. In this case though, the previous recordings form a cohesive whole with the new ones. The stunning rendition of Ave Maria is worth the price of admission alone! |
