 Lots of sound December 4, 2008

Brightman's tone is so bell-like, you'd think she would be a perfect fit for Christmas music. The problem is she also has a rather light, intimate voice, and this CD is anything but. Let the orchestra swell! Let the chorus sing! All this accompaniment borders on bombast, and in my opinion is inappropriate backing because she sometimes gets lost in it. A few tracks work better than others--"Arrival" is captivating, and "I Believe in Father Christmas" is a welcome cover. But even traditional fare like "Silent Night" and "In the Bleak Midwinter" get the heaving strings and chorus treatment. Oh well, it is called "A Winter Symphony." Maybe in the future we'll get hear to a simple treatment of something like Sarah channeling Petula on "The Happiest Christmas." Whatever material she chooses, hopefully she'll "turn up" in it, so to speak. By the way, gorgeous photo on the CD cover.
Beautiful As Always, But Not Her Best December 3, 2008

I am a fan of Sarah Brightman, so I make sure I get ALL her CD's. This one is beautiful as most of her work is, however, not my favorite of them. I was very happy she brought out a Winter CD though! Definitely get it if you are a fan! Those looking for a great Holiday CD will adore this as well!

I didn't think I was going to be able to enjoy this CD, but after a few listens I was hooked!
She does a magical xmas CD like no one else, it's brilliant and different from anything I have ever heard before, including her previous records.
Definitely worth buying.

I enjoyed about half of the songs on this CD!
This one was not up to the High Quality Level that all her other CDs have been for me!
It did not put me into a Christmas Spirit as I thought it would!
She has all the talent and drive to sing more Christmas Auries which can blow you away but not in the case of this Winter Symphony CD!
I am still her greatest FAN!!
