专辑介绍：
继 The Tree They Grow So High 推出的第二年，Sarah Brightman 的专辑 The Songs That Got Away ，着实让人倍感惊讶。事隔不到一年的专辑在风格上有很大的改变。由浓郁的英国乡村情调，转变到另外一种类似舞台剧音乐的风格。似曾相识的感觉会是"音乐之声"(Sound OF The Music)的早期版。
专辑收录了 14 首歌曲，格调轻快欢愉，在编曲方面明显，和 The Tree They Grow So High 相比，则是做足了功夫。在风格方面，整体感觉并不像是一张英国专辑，而非常的有好莱坞的音乐剧的风格。但是，从专辑的封套中看到的是，制作人是 Andrew Lloyd Webber。
与 The Tree They Grow So High 相同的是，整张专辑所采用的歌词均来自英国多位著名的诗人，或者词曲家，其中包括 Stephen Schwartz，Richard Rodgers ，Irving Berlin。这无疑延续了一种精神，而且，保持了专辑极高的艺术气质。
专辑元素的多样化，从那个年代看来，是令人惊讶的。第一首歌曲 MeadowLark，是一个小女孩讲述的一个关于云雀的童话故事："草原上有只云雀，她的声音是如此的美丽，但是，她却是瞎的。一个老国王听到云雀动人的歌唱，说：'你跟我回我的皇宫吧，我会用我的全部来爱你，来爱你，只要你愿意为我深情的唱歌。。。'，云雀于是去了皇宫，她美妙的歌声，被年轻的太阳神听到，太阳神偷偷来到云雀身边，他是如此的英俊的一个年轻人，他带来一片阳光，于是云雀的双眼可以看到东西了，太阳神说：'你跟我走吧，只要你为我深情的唱歌，我可以给你一切。'云雀拒绝了，她说：'不，如果我走了，老国王会伤心的，因为他是那样的爱我。。。'，太阳神离开了，带走了阳光了，云雀也死了。"
来到专辑的第四首 Mr Monotony ,则是一首相当诙谐的歌曲。而第五首 Dreamers 的曲调则相当的流行化，感觉上非常的像 Vanessa Williams 的成名作 Save The Best For Last，如果 Sarah 愿意就这首歌曲是否抄袭其作品，与 Vanessa Williams 对簿公堂，笔者觉得Sarah Brightman 实在很大的赢面。
专辑第9首，爵士旧歌 If I Ever Fall In Love，老歌翻唱，仍然很有味道。第11首，Chi Il Bel Sogno Di Doretta ，显示了 Sarah 极其漂亮的高音。第13首 If Love Were All，动人的Saxphone,，风格则更接近 R&B 。
而从现在看来，这张专辑是 Sarah Brightman 将艺术与流行相结合的第一次尝试，结果是相当的理想与成功的。听完整个专辑，回想专辑的名字"The Songs That Got Away "不无缅怀旧日的情怀。而 The Songs That Got Away 好像是一只青苹果般，涩涩的味道，却很难忘记。

Contains 14 theatrical songs from failed stage productions, conducted by Michael Reed. Includes liner notes by Sheridan Morley. THE SONGS THAT GOT AWAY is a novel idea that was originated by Sarah's ex-husband, Andrew Lloyd Weber. This album is made up of songs that were removed early from Broadway or London shows, or from productions that didn't run for very long. And after one listen, it's easy to see that these songs hold up just as well as the most popular show tunes of all time. Sarah closed the '80s--a decade during which she was best known for her marvelous work in CATS and PHANTOM OF THE OPERA--with this memorable solo album. "Meadowlark" is a haunting piece from Stephen Schwartz's THE BAKER'S WIFE. "Mr. Monotony" is a beautiful number that's perfectly suited for Sarah's sweet voice. The song has actually been recorded a total of three times in its history. "Dreamers" is a wonderful melody from the critically panned JEAN SEBERG. Sarah Brightman's inspiring, sparrow-like voice is perfect for resurrecting these buried treasures. The album was produced by Weber and received conducting contributions from Marvin Hamlisch. These songs are perfect listening for fans of the genre.
