Disc recommendation, a beautiful classical plate every day
Sarah Brightman, who is well-known in both the pop and classical music scenes, was born in the United Kingdom in 1960, and because she aspired to become an artist from an early age, she began to study ballet at the age of 3, entered art school at the age of 11 to study jazz and acting, and at the age of 13, she participated in the musical "Me and Albert" in London.
She has always been brave for her dreams, and in 1977, she joined a girl group, dancing on TV every week, attracting audiences with sexiness and beauty, but unfortunately, Sarah did not become a star. Instead, when she was 18 years old, a song "My Heart Is Lost in the Galaxy" made her usher in the first small peak of her life. The dynamic rhythm and Sarah's graceful dancing style made the song quickly become the best-selling single of the year, becoming a pop star in one fell swoop.
However, due to the punk trend, her subsequent publication of 5 disco-style singles did not become popular, and she lost her job. It wasn't until 1981 that she reached a turning point in her destiny when she met Andrew Lloyd Webber. That year, the famous musician was hiring actors for his musical Cats, and Sarah happened to be the protagonist.
Standing on the stage at the age of 21, young and beautiful, her big eyes full of innocence and courage, sarah was able to shine on the stage of the musical with this musical, once again appearing in front of the public, and also attracting Weber's attention. And their childlike interpretation also made this musical a hit, becoming the most successful, longest-running and most beloved musical for children in the United Kingdom.
For Sarah, Weber is definitely the "nobleman" of her acting career and "the man behind the successful woman", because of the acquaintance of "Cats", they are deeply attracted to each other's talents, and then fall in love. In 1984, they married and began playing leading roles in several webber musicals. At that time, Webb, who was immersed in the love honeypot, tailored a work for her - "The Phantom of the Opera", which became an eternal masterpiece in the musical with wonderful music, romantic plot and perfect dance, and also made Sarah a real musical "queen", and the "phantom of the opera", which is the theme song of the same name of "Phantom of the Opera", has long become a classic song in musicals.
After marrying Weber, her musical theater career reached its peak, but in the same way, as the wife of a musical theater master, she also endured countless gossip and pressure. Believed by many to have become a stage star by Weber, people seem to turn a blind eye to her efforts. By 1990, they had finally chosen to go from husband and wife to friend.
At her peak, she chose to leave Weber and leave the musical theater stage to return to the pop music scene, which seemed silly to outsiders and gave up her great future, but Sarah confessed that she did not regret it, because even without Weber's aura, she could create another peak for herself.
In 1991, she became acquainted with the German musician Frank Peterson. Their co-creation albums "Dive", "Moonlight", "Return to Eden" have won her the "Best Female Artist" award in Germany several times; the "Scarborough Bazaar" included in "Moonlight" has spread around the world after her interpretation; in 1997, "Time to Say Goodbye" with Italian singer Andre Bocelli swept the world, beating all the record of the record industry, staying in the top ten of the music chart for half a year. It has even been referenced in numerous movies and sporting events. It is worth mentioning that she is also the only singer who has sung the theme song of the Olympic Games twice.
Throughout Sarah's artistic career, we cannot deny that in addition to her own efforts, Weber also played a crucial role in it. Although they later opened a new chapter, they still maintained a friendly relationship, and at the performance of "Weber's 50th Birthday Concert" and "The Phantom of the Opera 25th Anniversary Celebration", Sarah still appeared as the first female number one to sing the classic singing segments, making us feel like this combination of talented women, this legendary good story has not yet ended.
Sarah Brightman's Selected Works by Andrew Lloyd Weber
Sarah Brightman is a singer who works hard in singing, so she strives for perfection in singing, and her perfect singing voice at that time is high-pitched and ghostly, sometimes brisk as a cat, which is vividly reflected in this "Andrew Lloyd Webber Works Selection". This album contains the best of many of the musicals they have collaborated on, such as "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" from "Lady Perón", "The Phantom of The Opera" theme song "The Phantom of The Opera", and "Memory" from "Cats", all of which are familiar songs.
Among them, Michael Crawford, Cliff Richard, who is known as the British Elvis Presley, and one of the world's three tenors, many other top artists in the field of classical and popular music have come to help, and they deserve to be irresistible rare plates.
"Unexpected Song Surrender"
In 1995, in the fifth year after Sarah and Weber divorced, they worked together again to reinterpret 17 classics from the past and titled the album "Unexpected Song Submission", in which the first songs were all treasures, including "Surrender", which was melodic and full of rich song plot tones; "Chanson D'Enfance", which used aria singing style and required deep singing skills to be perfectly interpreted; and selected from the musical "Cat". "The Mystery Cat", which is full of rock jazz charm and slightly mysterious; the Italian version of "Memory", "Piano"; and the theme song of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games by Sarah and José Carreras, one of the world's three tenors, "Amigos Para Siempre" (this song has also been covered by Hong Kong singer Lin Zixiang as "Friendship Lasts Forever") and other tracks.
There is no doubt that this album belongs to a very high category in terms of artistic pattern and level, which requires us to listen and feel repeatedly. In this series, her singing voice is sometimes euphemistic and sometimes full of power, perfectly combining classical music and popular music and conveying it to fans through singing, thus showing a more abundant and diverse side of her musical achievements.
