Review: 'Time to Say Goodbye' by Sarah Brightman

This is the perfect CD if you need a dose of mellow, beautiful classical music. The first song with Andrea Bocelli (if you or someone like you knows why he never shows his eyes, please let me know!), like many others, is in Italian. I've always loved songs in other languages... you can learn a little and get the feel of the language, but it's also nice music for reading and relaxing, because although you can listen to it, and there are words, you can't fully understand it and sing along. It's perfect!

'In Trutina' by Carl Orff (think: 'Carmina Burana') is also nice... most of Orff's work I've heard has been sung primarily by choirs and tenors, so hearing Sarah sing something of his was a refreshing change.

'Alleluja', by Mozart, is definitely a favorite on this CD. It's typical Mozart, very upbeat compared to the rest of the songs, and makes for a lovely ending to a dreamy and sleepy (in a good way) CD.
