content: Before this cd was recomended to me, I enjoyed the likes of Elton John, Whitney, Mariha, Presley, people like that. Too many to mention. Maybe i'm easy pleased, i don't know. But if I am, then i'm in the majority. Opera was taboo, but not now. This cd is a wake eup call for me, and I have spread the wealth and been thanked. If, as many critics say, this woman is weak, then what a treat awaits me because I love this album, and can't wait to be subject to more of the same, if not better . The duets are just incredible, I love Cura, Bocelli, and have invested in thier albums and videos already. But Brightman does it for me. Boy does she have a set of lungs on her. She has a great voice, and I am in the process of buying everything she has ever done. I urge all to give this album a go. It will alter your taste in music forever. If I was Siskel And Ebert, I would give it two very enthuasiastic thumbs up. Buy Buy Buy.
