Sarah Brightman doesn't just mix styles, she blends them like a painter creating new tints to expand her palette. Take "Baïlero," for example, the most famous of Canteloube's "Songs of the Auvergne" and a favorite of operatic sopranos. Brightman's version has a spaced-out atmosphere that manages to be faithful to the sensuous spirit of the original without seeming out of place next to her refined (and appropriately retro) rendition of the '70s rock classic "Dust in the Wind." The influences on Eden range far and wide: Enigma (the chanting on "In Paradisum"), Madonna (Brightman's pop diva delivery on the techno-influenced title track), Bocelli (by way of Celine Dion in the quasi-operatic opulence of "Il mio cuore va" -- an Italianized rendering of the megahit song from "Titanic"), and Pavarotti (her appropriation of the superstar tenor's signature aria, "Nessun dorma"). Somehow Brightman is able to tie these diverse musical strands together. No, her Puccini won't please classical diehards, and you will probably never hear these dance tunes thumping in discos, but to the millions of fans who call her "the angel of music," Brightman's Eden will sound like paradise on earth.

Sarah Brightman's 1999 release Eden applies her rich, supple voice to 16 tracks that range from classical to pop to haunting ballads. The album features "Il Mio Cuore Va," Titanic's "My Heart Will Go On" sung in Italian; "Scene d'Amour," the theme from The English Patient; and "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's "Turandot." Brightman's pop side emerges with tracks like "Dust in the Wind" and the Richard Marx-written and -produced "The Last Words You Said." Eden's wide range and Brightman's beautiful voice are a winning combination. Heather Phares
