Editorial Product Review: essential recording:Sarah Brightman's career was launched by her success in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, so it's no surprise to hear the soprano paying homage to the composer on this disc. Really a Brightman best-of, the album includes the Phantom theme (a duet with Michael Crawford), the light-opera fare of 'Chanson D'enfance' from Aspects of Love, 'Don't Cry for Me, Argentina' from Evita, and numerous other Lloyd Webber classics. Throughout, Brightman's diminutive voice lends a fragility to these musical theater tunes ...

AMD surprised us last year with its completely dominant dual-core chips, but Intel regains the crown with Core 2 Duo.
