Amalfi – Sarah Brightman Love Songs (2009) is a compilation album by English soprano Sarah Brightman; it was released in conjunction with the Japanese film Amalfi: Rewards of the Goddess. This movie features an appearance and performance by Brightman, and is a special production marking Fuji Television's 50th anniversary. This is the first Japanese movie to be shot entirely on location in Italy. With tracks selected by Brightman, the album contains new photos/artwork and was released on July 8, 2009 exclusively in Japan. It was Japan's best-selling classical album of 2009 and won at the 24th Japan Gold Disc Awards for Best Classical Album of the Year. Amalfi debuted in the top 30 in Japan. It entered the chart at #25 and landed at #24 in the second week. In the third week on chart the album peaked at #11 selling 10,488 copies.



Opera and musicals may be a niche market in the U.S., but there's always a market to be found in Japan. Sarah Brightman's exceedingly clarion voice has repeatedly found its way onto the Oricon charts, even with compilation albums. A case in point is 2009's Amalfi collection of love songs, released in conjunction with the film Amalfi. Being a compilation, the songs are anything but new, but still work as a generalized showcase for Brightman's voice. The album opens with what may be her biggest hit in "Time to Say Goodbye," hitting that tiny gap between opera and pop. Throughout the album, she walks on either side of that line - pieces from Broadway numbers float by, pieces from the classical repertoire float by, pieces from opera float by. Along the way, her vocal talent is displayed thoroughly. While pieces like "Il Mio Cuore Va" (an Italian rendition of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On") are nice, it's the opera proper that really showcases Brightman's talent. "Nessun Dorma," taken on by a female, is a bit of an interesting rarity. "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" shows off a more feminine, almost kittenish version of her voice. Completist fans will want this one, but the songs are already available on extant Western releases. Excellent music, but redundant on the Western market.
