Sarah Brightman - Harem Desert Fantasy

Sarah Brightman - Harem Desert Fantasy


Starring:Sarah Brightman
Studio: Angel Records
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Theater star Sarah Brightman turns up the heat in this sexy, baroque DVD counterpart to her 2003 world music CD, Harem. Brightman's artistic purpose on that album--marrying the rhythms of the Middle East to her otherwordly pop sound (as opposed to her boomy, operatic sound)--aren't lost here, but don't expect to catch a glimpse of such exciting studio collaborators as violin star Nigel Kennedy amidst countless shots of the diva in various states of undress. The lavish visual production sets several songs in exotic recreations of fabled harems, where lust is tempered by decorum but sex is clearly on the menu. For a change, Brightman's ethereal version of "Stranger in Paradise" (from Kismet) is shot against a starkly beautiful, mountainous backdrop, and "What You Never Know," a song about the passage of time, includes touching images of children and old people. --Tom Keogh

1 out of 5 stars Never again.......2007-06-07

I have loved Sarah Brightman's music and bought this without research or hearing it. So bad I donated it to the library.

5 out of 5 stars Sarah Brightman's Harem Desert Fantasy.......2007-02-06

This is a great dvd to watch. Sarah does a brief interview before each song, she has such a beautiful voice either in her music or her interviews.

MY WIFE & I TOTALLY ENJOYED THIS DVD.

The music, stage effects and costumes were fantastic.

We love this concern and will play it many times.

4 out of 5 stars Sarah Brightman - Harem Desert Fantasy (2003).......2006-02-03

Over all I really enjoyed this DVD - it was nice, light entertainment!

Positives:
- Beautiful/creative/interesting/colourful costumes and sets
- Features stunning Arabian terrain and architecture
- Nice accompaniment to the music
- Sarah provides a commentary between songs
- 'Behind the Scenes' is just as entertaining as the music
- A very sensual production (would not call it 'dirty' though! - some images have sexual connotations and Sarah is often scantly clad, but is stunning. A 40-something year old beauty who is proud to show off her body...good on her!)

Negatives:
- A few too many scenes of Sarah striking the same pose made things repetitive
- Would have been nice to see some of the other Harem songs make it to music video e.g. Arabian Nights
Harem - A Desert Fantasy
