Under the tutorlege of Andrew Lloyd-Webber Ms Ross is truly a shining light amongst the younger generation of classical singers.
Her version of the classic "Moon River" is unrivalled by any other female artist new or old and possibly only slightly bettered by the great Andy Williams.
I greatly enjoyed her great interpretation on this album of the Bacharach/David classic "What The World Needs Now Is Love" as well as the songs from Lord Webber's "Whistle Down The Wind" West End hit.
Anyone who love top quality classical singing or classical pop should have this album in their collection......... and to top it all off there is even a stunning recital by Ms Ross of "You Raise Me Up".
I have played the album over and over and have added it on to my Ipod as I find it very relaxing and upligting music on a long train or plane journey.

Well all I can say firstly is why can we not have an album like this with the original singer of the songs on, why do we have to have so many others trying to pull off big powerful songs and just not being able to. Yes this is aimed at Jonathan Ansell, he was a singer with the group G4 who found fame on X Factor, don?t get me wrong I think he is talented but just not quite good enough to take on a big Freddie Mercury song and I let down by this.
The whole CD does have a good ...
