Book Description
Of music’s ever-splintering genres, classical crossover might have the largest ratio of albums sold (lots) to words written (few) The genre’s subject to a thousand preconceptions, some inaccurate and some accurate but only just. One of its founding albums, however, soprano Sarah Brightman’s album Fly is quite different from the anodyne template most people ascribe its genre; it’s part U2, part Enigma, part electric, sung in about three voices and only briefly classical. It also explains most of her future work and how the genre sounds today.
