A Winter Symphony by Sarah Brightman
A Winter Symphony is Sarah Brightman's release from 2008, a crossover of pop and the classical voice. It runs to 44 minutes across 12 tracks on Manhattan Records. I found it some years after it appeared and was glad I did.
Why listen?
The voice is the centre, clear and unhurried over lush arrangements. The songs move between pop and the classical line with ease. It is grand without losing its warmth.
Favourite song: Silent Night
A serene, richly orchestrated reading of the carol that served as the lead single from this seasonal companion to the Symphony album.
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Key takeaway
A Winter Symphony is a fine place to start. A gentle recommendation.
