Review

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, All Music Guide

Eden is the name of an album recorded by English soprano Sarah Brightman in 1998. It was released under license by Nemo Studios to Angel Records.

Like Brightman's later album, La Luna, juxtaposed pop songs (mostly sung in English) and opera songs (mostly sung in Italian). This was a departure from her previous works, such as Fly, which was performed almost entirely in English, and retained elements of Timeless, which was an almost entirely operatic work.

Like Timeless it contains one rock ballad: "Dust in the Wind". The song was a huge success in Brazilian radios, due the fact it was used on the soundtrack of the telenovela 'Um anjo caiu do céu' (An angel's fallen from heaven). It is Sarah's biggest success in the country.

The song "So many things" based on English Irish song "Women of Ireland".
