"
This is the most incredible cd that I have ever heard. The harmonies are beautiful and each song leaves you wanting more. Opera has never sounded so good to the mainstream ear. From the opening track of Fade Out, which has this incredible build up in the middle, to the sweet and simple acoustic ending track of Close Your Eyes, the entire CD is a joy to listen to. The more you hear this cd, the more that you will find to love about it."

"This two voices are very enjoyable.Starting with "Fade out" that has violins enchanting touch.My favorite song is "fields of gold" that it transports me to other place.Sasha lazard is amazing.I love the two voices when one is singing the other is vocalizing. or when both are vocalizing.
"Per te/for you", I'm speeechless.
"una furtiva lagrima" very nice,They had to show her operatic voices.
"I know it's real" It's going to be my wedding song.
To sum up, this Cd worth every penny.
In contrast, the song "Stabat matter" doesn't fit in the cd concept to me. This belong to "Myth of Red" by Sasha Lazard first solo cd ;that is a conceptual cd based in a myth of some godess .So, you have to buy "The Myth of Red" and 'moonfall" if you lke "Siren""
Very good album
