【专辑简介】

  继 The Tree They Grow So High 推出的第二年,Sarah Brightman 的专辑 The Songs That Got Away ,着实让人倍感惊讶。事隔不到一年的专辑在风格上有很大的改变。由浓郁的英国乡村情调,转变到另外一种类似舞台剧音乐的风格。专辑的制作人是 Andrew Lloyd Webber,意在收录一些在英国的West End theatre或是在美国的Broadway theatre的舞台剧中的一些歌曲。这些歌曲要么出自一些未获成功的舞台剧,要么就是在剧中被删去,要么就是被人淡忘…
 
   但此专辑依然保持了极高的艺术气质,整张专辑所采用的歌词均来自英国多位著名的诗人或者词曲家,其中包括 Stephen Schwartz,Richard Rodgers ,Irving Berlin。
 
       第一首歌曲 MeadowLark,是一个小女孩讲述的一个关于云雀的童话故事:"草原上有只云雀,她的声音是如此的美丽,但是,她却是瞎的。一个老国王听到云雀动人的歌唱,说:'你跟我回我的皇宫吧,我会用我的全部来爱你,来爱你,只要你愿意为我深情的唱歌。。。',云雀于是去了皇宫,她美妙的歌声,被年轻的太阳神听到,太阳神偷偷来到云雀身边,他是如此的英俊的一个年轻人,他带来一片阳光,于是云雀的双眼可以看到东西了,太阳神说:'你跟我走吧,只要你为我深情的唱歌,我可以给你一切。'云雀拒绝了,她说:'不,如果我走了,老国王会伤心的,因为他是那样的爱我。。。',太阳神离开了,带走了阳光了,云雀也死了。"
 
  来到专辑的第四首 Mr Monotony ,则是一首相当诙谐的歌曲。而第五首 Dreamers 的曲调则相当的流行化。专辑第9首,爵士旧歌 If I Ever Fall In Love,老歌翻唱,仍然很有味道。第11首,Chi Il Bel Sogno Di Doretta ,显示了 Sarah 极其漂亮的高音。第13首 If Love Were All,动人的Saxphone,,风格则更接近 R&B 。
 
  这张专辑是 Sarah Brightman 将艺术与流行相结合的第一次尝试。听完整个专辑,回想专辑的名字"The Songs That Got Away "不无缅怀旧日的情怀。而 The Songs That Got Away 好像是一只青苹果般,涩涩的味道,却很难忘记…
