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.

Radio London travel Rob Oxley. At the moment I'm a few a 40 still queuing coming into town is a broken down bus just after Green from it's been there for ages now but traffic is still queuing with queues on the approach to green fit as a result of that not quite as bad as it was an earlier one it was back onto the M 40 a one point the end Wimbledon Hayden's vote the mains closed off by the police that's been closed for a couple of hours now and is a causing delays around the area Cali is word Wimbledon and nerves and traffic looking slow as people divert away from that are still waiting for word from the place as to one what's actually going on there up towards the Blackpool tunnel traffic securing at the moment so we've got to queue surf. Just after the flyover per towards the black tunnel at the moment because of the close the black anti-malaria on some of the side roads or so were still looking quite busy of bounce of the black tunnel area the M $25.00 for we did have a collision which is still closing 2 lanes anticlockwise from Junction $28.00 of the 12 to junction $27.00 at the M 11 such AFAIK looking very slow on that section of the M $25.00 as a result of that the best the motorway not looking too bad on the M $25.00 but the M 4 the elevated section queuing coming into town on the overground no service Signum to West Croydon because of a signal failure the rest of the trains and chips posting a good service B.B.C. Radio London the small travel just before 11 radio and new way of listening B.B.C. Sound with music makes a. Great deal of addiction to different tasks if you in the piece do those big not so hard. To talk to it in this episode. In one place that's right like to be observed B.B.C. Sounds great. Down. To listen with C.B.C. Radio you're listening to the Roman show and I'm talking to a listed Londoner of the days are Brightman So now you live between London and New York and you've moved around a lot but hearing on the what would you say is your favorite neighborhood Well there's a little bit of the story behind it but I have I have an apartment in Belgravia because it's home it's not home home because I travel in and out of of of England all the time but it's in part and have got me in Belgrade and it's funny because my parents used to put me on the bus from haps to Croydon to go to boarding school because I went to. School employed and and I 1st some reason the bus route sort of kind of went through a part of Belgravia I remember used to used to look at those all those houses all those white kind of stucco inspired buildings used to think oh I could do was really really would love to be is all this white it looks beautiful there are all these parks and I really want to do something in my life so I can get here and finally I did and so it's special to me because it was it was a dream of mine when I when I was a child and if someone testing a lovely reason for chairs or what's your favorite building one piece of architecture or for emotional reasons whatever you like sentimental anything. I think probably it's. So Bart's chair now there are 2 reasons for that. Boss over in Smith thought oh yes this is yes some bottom and that she was funny I was ice I was filming have recently was chose it was chosen for to do some of the you know music videos for for him and I used to sing that because I went to our situation and you know just in the barber can on the edge that just a fall out street and so we used to go and sing in the choir there and do Christmas carols there and things and I remembered it from that time but if you know when you really young it's not so inspirational at that time but when I when I've gone back to it since I mean such and such an amazing place I mean I think it was built in the 1100 incredibly I know and you feel all that history and of course it would have from that time change religion so I could now see that little girl again singing in the choir can I can I can remember it really really clearly because they were really good times for me and I love singing anyway but it's just it's just it's history and everything about it is probably one of my I've got lots of favored that's one of that's a perfect one yeah let's look at the other end of the spectrum the building that you really don't like for whatever reason. I'm not very keen on the on the city of brutalist see I love all that stuff but no it's just the I think the sort of the National Theatre or the sand. And all of that and that she want one of the public and I had a friend whose father had bought one of those building sort of we're talking about sort of like seventy's now when they were new and they've always been expensive because I suppose in cities there and I remember going there and feeling yes I understand the minimalist of it and the beauty of all of that and all the reasons why they why they were built but but they felt cold quite cold for me it's a matter of taste yes or I'll put you down as a part of the bar because we can i could agree to disagree so. This cheer yourself up then with the best view in London what would you pick for that. I think probably because my mother lives in Bournemouth So if I can visit her I go to Waterloo Station psycho from south to north that no north to south yet and so I go over there it still wasn't just yes with the Houses of Parliament on the right and you've got the London Eye you've got some pools all to the left all of that beauty and amazement and to the right of this you've got the Houses of Parliament and what happens going that way and it always always amazes me because I always feel you know although although the sort of like the Thames in the rivet there has always been trying to be important for trade unlike a lot of other cities that have had all the restaurants and all that stuff going on the river that took us a long time to do and that view looks better now than it 78 lane it looks great it is incredible it is absolute joy night and day Well I think as Londoners we're really really lucky to have that and I think so much just to remind just sofa's Well you have to go there and look and just think I'm part of this is myself I know it's gorgeous because you know when you're in New York everyone talks about the skyline and it's great it's wonderful Yes but sometimes that was this I tell you this this cut I've traveled all over the world I'm always doing it but I think that coming back to London as originally sort of being from the Syria I just think we are so lucky to have this city it is actually probably one of the most wonderful cities in the well I think I'm not going to disagree and yeah nor is anyone listening to this on Radio London What's your favorite open space a garden a park wherever you like am I to tell you I love Hyde Park yet there are moments you know I've got 2 little that sins and when they walk them in the park I did what . I'm a crazy cause of all of the squirrels and I love to watch the horses but there are moments in the park where I really feel like I'm in the countryside you know you can't necessarily hear the buzz of the traffic and it just you know you see a little house in the middle of the part where you have see this hedge row and it's just. We and that's another great thing about London is having those spaces I keep Slamdance really say I mean if you think right most is one part we've got Hyde Park regions. Green part yes and James is this incredible it's a city in a garden really it really needs you actually we're very lucky that that's one of the things that really does make this place special OK we're going to go to a pub or restaurant a bar whatever you like where would you take me well there are 2 actually if I if I'm allowed but. I'm. On my own my way back from Waitrose to my apartment sometimes I like to have a little snifter in the stock start to happen which is an old well example to muse street between the very place and and what used to be the flagship waitress but isn't anymore but it's still up early so go in and have a quick sherry or something with my shopping bags and and I like I like that they used to I don't know if they do now these beautiful put scratching me I love them so that's my little treat for myself celebrated. In the start haven't so I'm the other place I love to go to when I'm here is enough you Chinese restaurant at the top of the Garden Hotel and I love it there because the little bit of history for me when I was in pants people D.D. Wild who's running running it's that time she had a friend in the hotel that allowed us to perform at the top there and we're talking about the late seventy's the which was then a kind of disco bar and so in the day we'd go in and do all our pans people. And things so when I go and sit in that restaurant and thinking oh this is this is the place where I sat where I was sitting where I did to kick in those 2 days those those past days and did a pond or whatever so that's a nice memory did me no good memories pains people no. I only remember the good like you do it that's it. Think about human beings isn't it generally unless we've gone through some sort of absolute traumatic thing we remember the good bits and thank God for it Well I think they're very fondly remembered by many people. Talking about memories the most memorable night out in this city you know I think probably back in the early seventy's I must've been 11 or 12. I was in a show called Iron output and it was the Piccadilly theatre and once my dad taught me to not talk to where to go when not to go I used to wonder about in the in the matinee and go get my mushroom moment and chips in a little restaurant there and used to wander around and I was along I was very very different then you know sort of on the edge of Soho it was much darker there when the light it was a different kind while it was yes and I was remember that time and they were really my my my best evening really in London by my wonder why don't you write about trying you know and that shows you know you could never let kids do that but you can you could then you probably could we just would yes you wouldn't know you all right so that was I left it was all smoky and intrastate wasn't a lot was yellow at that very difficulty here yet is I know so I was still kind of living in the past that it's very different that's for us there's a wonderful memory I'm going to give you a dial for you can't do anything that might be thought of as work right how would you spend. In the usual way I have family in London so I would see them I I or I love to go to the cousin Mayfair cinema and go and see anything so maybe a matinee yet show that I would go right in and goes oh I love to go or do you admire and it's great in there because if you if you like to have a glass of wine you can and it's such a beautiful theater so I do that and you can see see films you can't miss the stars see when you're a broad You might especially in America you'll get the usual big sayings but not the interesting things that we will have Europe from here that might not necessarily see the some works of the cousin So really it's fabulous I love it so you know that's the sort of the I like I do you know I like to walk I like to go out and have a coffee in the morning or some broad get over I like to walk my dogs yes what else that's really it just not moving just moving around that's what's is a for I know their absolute best yes yes yes. Yes but a lot of time in New York I'm going to ask you to pick one or the other but do you think they're similar cities are very different cities. Depends how you approach them I I actually think. They're very similar so yeah yeah we're not really very close cousins in many ways and I think that's why you know that the Londoner will often sort of pop over to New York or the Irish person for Manuel papa because there are similarities this is say and I know that they say New York's very full of heavy you know fast pace but that's only because it's in a much smaller area because you can see all its contents but actually we have a very fast pace here in the city where right if you had someone visiting here I don't know where they've come from but they've never been a before where would you take them where they keep up this morning and. I my my partner who is American but his family were English Irish so one papa from battery bay and now the part from 4 from London and actually I was I was talking with him when he's going to come over his actual great great great grandfather was the minister or the reverend or the priest of the that beautiful little church on Piccadilly Well right yes yes and I have all the history because he was that she he and he's his son that she or his great great grandfather I did up going to India as a civil servant and wrote this hope really for his family but it got published it's a to Mazie amazing book so that I would take my partner Charles to all of these places all over London the I have read about in the book there is family yes so it's a room nearby So that's what I would do it in all that's a lovely thing to do that's a really nice journey let's look at the opposite sometimes they see Lycos is goes wrong should if you're trying to get from one what's the worst journey ever Well ways because I'm always late. Getting to the airport or Though I have to say you never miss planes. Sometimes sometimes so it's all right because I missed the boat on the way to getting them so I reamed someone and say please can you help me hide me to get they get me on the next plane so I never missed. The plane I'm not going to go there. So it's journeys to the airport yes I'm not always my fault because actually all journeys can be really easy to the airport from from the middle of London have brilliant underground systems great heading to Boston is great but do you really that. There is no stress like being in a call thinking if I'm not there the next 10 minutes of busy this flight I know it's a horrible. Horrible I don't know and is never my fault. What would you pick as your personal London landmark some of it feels kind of personal to you or you think this is my town or whatever it mostly. My mother she said that I was. My conception. In Pat's lane which is off it she wrote I don't know but it's funny you know because whenever I end London I get into the fit she wrote that for me it's like I feel like the arrive so there's something in what she said so they said basically I don't know what I'd exact address. I don't try to think of what was going on at the time so I do whatever I got to fit she wrote if I'm home I'm got to the right place so that's that's my my posts the lack. Of great I love the beach ever chose a place where they were kids. But that is the picking me of all things for you would seem to. Be somewhat elaborate growth of. Your favorite fictional love didn't probably Paddington bag I know there are seats isn't it I don't know if using the film I haven't seen or haven't and I must say Mom it's true in particular is fat yes I could see the now you've said that because you know I don't have children running so I never thought about about going to see them of course I could never say Paddington Bear well in those days I could only say Patta to parent me that's all I took back I know I really like moment but I was think I like marmalade because a padded to bath so that that would help it has put us in. A favorite London film a book called musical or whatever you like. This happy parade I watch this movie again and again because that's the 2nd World War Yeah between the wars between them trying to remember green 1st war of well well the kind of between the 1st World War and the getting up to the 2nd well it's about a family in a row of houses in London by who just all the dramas that happen from these few rooms in their homes don't think of fantasy 3 tops and it is amazing it's I love David Lean's the director so is David only directing it of course Ronnie name who did the cinematography I remember meeting Ronnie name he came over to Los Angeles and I was staying at this was years ago and I was staying at the with my then husband so of course it was the Beverly Hills Hotel and he came in and he said you know what whenever I come to he said that this table with all the hummingbirds in the flat and he said I remember being when the 1st time I came to L.A. He said I just come from bombed London he said from all of that the rubble nobody having anything to eat all the hardship and he said I had because I'd be doing a film he said I was brought over to Los Angeles on a came into this paradise and he said I had to go back and it was very fascinating thinking of how a person would have felt at that time suddenly coming in to the madness and or the L.A. Had so little and around the sun high and then yes and then having to go back to our school I know so but anyway this is have is very movie this happy Preet it's it's if it was a family called the gibbon family and you just follow them through what happened at that time and it's just brilliant wonderful and I'm going to watch it thanks should you should it's a film everyone should see who comes from they just get the whole New wants of it finally you're going to say some time travel not space travel but time show you can go backwards or forwards and you can return so you're not kind of marooned there forever right where would you go I think the fifty's OK I'm fascinated by the fifty's not share was reminded of it watching a movie called the. Thread which I'm sure I love you today and it was fantastic I know I'm not you know when you when you look at that time and I know it shows the streets and the idea of fashion houses and how wealthy women get to the fashion houses and hot they but you also saw the sort of you know the people that will working for them that you know have much more of a struggle in life and how sort of subservient they were House interesting society because it was a change from the war time and we kind of going to. See it is in flux Exactly and that's why I'd like to go to that time because I'm living in the time which is in flux now I mean I think it's a huge right cost but the moment happening and I think that a peer is absolutely fascinating because the the future is sort of being born but you might not see it might feel like a bit studied a bit kind of growing but the old well this is coming and it's now I think it's a fascinating yes that's where I would like to go away you come back yes or no might want to stay that time to me out of wanted to go to the doctor or the dentist I don't know yet it's a nice girl. Ever brought that. I've nothing to it I've really had a good time thank you for that it was good to go into all of these things because I'm not always here so it was lovely to reflect Sarah Brightman Thank you. The. Lash out. And Alice muds and that is.

Good for nice all sorts of things and and an interesting estate on that as well it was good to get different perspectives and you know she goes right back that get I mean hot gossip and all that so she was really really enjoyable so.
