Sarah Brightman - La Luna (Live in Concert) Reviews
Five Star Paerformance
The otherworldy scenario and a flawless Sarah Brightman takes one on a surreal journey. Few concerts can offer the escapism a Sarah Brightman concert does.This is a must have for those get away moments. There is great bonus footage and I recommend this disc to fans and those that might want to find out what a great performer Ms. Brightman is.
Entertaining, beautiful voice, but..
I've been a fan of Sarah Brightman since I went through my "Phantom of the Opera phase" as a 19-year-old. (I had listened nonstop to the Original London Cast Recording and had read the book by Gaston Leroux b/f attending a performance of "The Phantom" in Toronto).
Sarah is a talented artist; I'm in no way contesting that. However, her arm gestures are so strange and don't seem to go with what she's singing. While I enjoyed the background choreography, I found her arm gestures and stage movement distracting and nonsensical. Also, her costumes were not to my taste, though I suppose that her outfits reflect the "moon" theme of the program.
But this DVD is worth the price in many other ways. The second movement (allegretto) of Beethoven's 7th Symphony is so gorgeous, and I love the vocal arrangement of it (Figlio Perduto). The text is sort of a Spanish version of Schubert's "Erlkonig."
I also enjoyed Sarah's rendition of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" (check out the music video in the special features), "Moon River," and "Scarborough Fair." And hey, Josh Groban (the quintessential sensitive, young artist) makes a guest appearance at this concert...need I say more?
