It's a robot elms at B.B.C. U.K. But be sure to put your fundamental in the end so that we can get back to. The voices in big bluff this morning good job this next piece is a. Preview coded so I want to do now is I'm going to play a piece of music by Sarah Brightman It's a track from a new album the album is called him not as in her but as in a song of praise so she's got album called him and this is a track from it and it's called Song me featuring Vincent Nicole. So that was of course Sarah Brightman from the new album name and Sarah is here with us now welcome to the show high healthy to see you and don't you but not so lucky I should think so too and it's about Tolan too because US is a US is a long and sizable and very varied career and now yes I mean I didn't want our stuff with our run through the list I guess so adults act sing nearly spice person do you think. Come back to the left side at. Night or would come on to the spice be animated but what do you think of yourself as primarily. That's a difficult because I kind of when although I am part of my career it's my career and I go into that mode but that she me I'm a kind of another person would she probably quite a boring person. Or a very very ordinary I'm a woman with 2 dogs really. Dogs and I do you know everything is yes exactly and where do you feel most I mean is it doing kind of theater musical theater or is it performing as a you know as Sarah Brightman saying oh what do you like doing mostly I just like being creative I love it and that she I love doing musical theater because it was it was a wonderful thing and time in my life too. To learn about how if you are a creative person how to do things where you are certainly learning in public gaze with funds of mommy not only no I know and you know what it was an amazing piece to be to be part of and to actually be there at the inception of it because I think that my then husband Andrew Lloyd Webber he he hadn't really even thought of doing the idea of phantom Actually I came back from an old dish and when I. Have all of being together and it was it was a perfect it was a phantom of the opera the being done in a kind of sort of comedy way somewhat nice stand of London I didn't get the audition but when I told Andrew about it he said that's really really interesting and he wanted to know all about what had happened and then the sort of like a week later he was sitting on the sofa with Cameron Mackintosh and they were talking about it and suddenly all this started so your. 4. Point where you're aware of just how big a phenomenon that was likely to become It was a piece that right from the beginning it just worked the you know it's a bit like a creature I think creating a piece like that or a musical is that she it's probably one of the most complex things to do you know pay a straight face. Nothing's that straight for but the music is the most difficult because it can end up even with the best people becoming either a little crass or it to sight everyone's going to know this isn't quite work it's very hard to get together and all the ingredients in this particular cake visit the cake being found to be projects work from from the people that confront from the really get go right from the beginning it just what we kind of knew that to it just was a jewel it was going to be a beautiful piece. You out now on tour seemingly forever. So I keep being told. Do you enjoy that process like what I do I take it day by day what I was remember is that I between cars when I go out and do these big flagship tours that they I have a lot of quite a few years in between so there's a lot of focal train that goes on that's not a figure to get anything you do but not sort of crazily So I mean I really to stand there and seeing but and that's that's the thing about being a female so if you know a performer you're not in that doing an actor and sort of with other people and I think you know that just singing so but it's it just takes quite a few years to get yourself back into the mode of going out and performing that many days being up there traveling all of the world you say is just you singing but there's quite a production with this one isn't that yes there always is for me like for all so you know to be standing at a parent you know no well I'm very I because that she that the kind of music that I sing is kind of always appears to be fairly grat grad and because it always requires orchestras as well as bands and choirs and stuff like that so to visually you kind of have to go into characters and also have costumes to to help you with that so I tend to sort of pick some really beautiful runway costumes and put together things don't since you're not really no no but you know what the dance is great because you naturally with me this naturally the movement goes with the voice so I will to move around and use my arms correctly and all that those things it happens very naturally because that's where I started was and I You start off that yeah United when you're out there performing in front of an audience. You performing for them. Because you don't stay drugs it's very different when you're being you. Some songs you do Hugh performs like Phantom of the upright become Christine yanked of the opera singer with the idea that solitary never yes yes if I do time to say goodbye which I used to do with but now we both sing it by ourselves I tend to go into that period of my life So actually you're right it's I've never really thought about it it moves and it actually when you go into that so you're reminded of that time in your life what your spirit was you become that person and the new songs that you've recorded for the album yes to this a bit about those well it's funny all of my albums I do they're sort of the theme of them comes from a period of my life and how I am at that time my spirit what's happening now that she come out of the the Russian space program people working on it for years and I needed to need to sort of like ground myself so I found that I rented a little house on a beach somewhere hot and I invited to a coach friend to come and get me back into singing after a few months by my producer Frank Peterson he called me and he said look you've obviously been enlightened by whatever this journey is you've been on whether you've got there own not and he said I think you need to start recording again and working I said What do you want to do and I said I I it's strange I've come into the world and started focusing on what's going on around me and I said it's it's actually quite a sort of quite scan of this to stop your world at the moment no one really everyone's a Patani Z. They don't know what the future's going to be and I said I'm really with what I've just been through I really want to do songs that are full of light and hope and kind of feel familiar remind me when I was a child and all of those sort of things and I want to work with lots of humans meaning a quiet so we did a lot of research for about 2 years on songs that were sound Rachel choirs and we ended up with the with with the album him and it's fun everybody of all over the world is sort of the DE listening that that the beginning of it to really enjoying it so you. I have to ask you about the space thing it was a genuine aspiration more it was well a lot of the sin the I don't know maybe oh too young for all that that I was born in 1960 is that I think we learned the great about us OK. Thank you and yet so you know in my view such a flight later on in the later 8 sixty's I watched the 1st man land on the Moon Yeah I remember that day it was him saying I see and I remember thinking you know when you receive you know market town market town of but camp sted and in those days the pace was quite slow it was a lovely place to live but but it you know things like that didn't happen every day I remember it actually was a pivotal time in my life because if remember thinking I I want to really work hard humans can do extraordinary things and this is just absolutely fascinating so I sort of it always kept space in my know what I had always learned to hit through various friends of mine and what I was what I was you know reading the Times and of course you know my for my 1st song which was I lost my heart to Starship what spec he sorry I'm going to do in a funny way you don't know yet but space is always been quite a can comedic thing you know because no one went to space except people you know astronauts that we never even met What about so it was I I I I kind of I would move to Los Angeles and and and started talking to some people who were involved in space world and they they actually said they said to me you know we think you'd be a perfect candidate to go in as opposite Taurus I said you know I left school at 16 there's no way but I went to NASA I passed all the tests then yes and then I went to went to Russia I passed all the tests and they were they were quite heavy going things yes and then I entered into the program and the program was amazingly challenging but I would have the Commission stand in front of a Russian mission there. I love you the Russians but very very tough you can imagine it's a tough military school that you go like you know. It's really tough and of course the Russian culture is known on its education to be like really top anthem and I got through all of them and they said What is the best kind of tourist with the knowledge that I hadn't everything I'd learned about all these systems and things that it had but I came out of it I'm afraid I've. I've signed all sorts of N.D.S. But really nothing would you have got Yeah you would yes I do know now a few years later if I if I would you know with all the simulation you went through and everything you kind of do it in the training and really a lot of I mean of course you there are windows and there's the wonderful big window that there have been a lot of the time that they're sort of taken up with people taking photography cosmonauts astronauts up there so you're kind of up there and then you come back down again but the experience is I think would be nice but to tell you the truth with the human space spaceflight really for tourists I do think they're quite ready for it you know it's heavy going on the on the train military guys that are going up there to take a tourist up bro so very glad that you're here my little lad at this moment on the record out yes kind of massive tour so lots and lots of people get a chance to see you and we're going to get a chance to hear more about your London after this.
