Broadway star Sarah Brightman was the inspiration behind such stage hits as Phantom of the Opera and Requiem, written in her honor by ex-husband Andrew Lloyd Webber. Born August 14, 1960, in Berkhampstead, England, Brightman began dancing at the age of three, and ten years later made her London theatrical debut in Charles Strouse's I and Albert. By 1976, she was a dancer on the television series Pan's People, and later led the pop group Hot Gossip, which in 1978 scored a U.K. number one hit with the single "I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper." In 1981, she was cast in the role of Jemima in Lloyd Webber's Cats; there she and the composer were introduced, and he divorced his first wife to marry her in 1984. Their relationship lasted through 1990, during which time Brightman created the role of Christine Daaé in Phantom, also appearing in Requiem and Aspects of Love; after their divorce, she toured in The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber: A Concert Spectacular. In addition to her stage work, Brightman also recorded a number of solo albums, including 1988's The Trees They Grow So High, 1989's The Songs That Got Away, 1990's As I Came of Age, 1993's Dive, 1995's Fly, and 1998's Eden. The following year saw the release of The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection, which featured some of her finest moments from Lloyd Webber cast recordings, as well as The Songs That Got Away. Luna followed in the spring of 2000; Encore appeared the next year. Brightman then adopted a Middle Eastern theme for her 2003 release, Harem. Love Changes Everything: The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection, Vol. 2 arrived in 2005, followed by the CD/DVD Diva: The Singles Collection in 2006.

This new release is a compendium of songs handpicked by Sarah as her favorites. Some of the tracks on this album served as inspiration for Sarah's early forays into opera, and her subsequent innovative fusions of ethnic and traditional music.
Read all about the impetus behind these recordings in the liner notes, which feature Sarah's personal commentary.
CLASSICS comprises seventeen gorgeous arias and songs that have made Sarah a global star in the last few decades. Tracks range from "La Wally" to "Nella Fantasia", from "Time To Say Goodbye" (with Andrea Bocelli) to "Anytime Anywhere", and from "La Luna" to "Pie Jesu" (which famously sold 25,000 copies on the day of its release in 1985, shooting to No. 3 on the UK charts).

In 2001 a compilation CD with only a few new songs was released worldwide, except Europe, called Classics. A European release was originally scheduled for March 2002, but was delayed until end 2006. At the same time, worldwide except for Europe, another collection album was released, named Diva: the singles collection. Why this particular album is called "Classics" is a mystery, since it contains only a few songs also on the original version.
Below the track list of the European version of Classics is given. The cover of the CD is almost the same as the original release: it now has also the words "The best of" (note that the cover shown on the official website in the "sound & vision" section is the one from the 2001 non-European version).
