Sarah Brightman : Dreamchaser review

She fell in love with a starship trooper, made her name in Phantom of the Opera – currently running at Birmingham’s Hippodrome – and plans to be the first singer on the International Space Station.

Now soprano Sarah Brightman returns with her first album in five years, and an eclectic setlist to boot.

Her ethereal vocal whispers through Elbow’s One Day Like This, an English version of Sigur Ros’ Glosoli and Wings’ Venus And Mars, even adding electropop appeal to Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells on album closer, Closer.

Better than you might expect.

Yes, really.
