Classical voices to relax and uplift

Advantages: Good background listening
Disadvantages: Odd mixture of music on the Uplifting disc

...I do often have Classic FM on the radio at home and recently bought their 2 CD set, Voices 2008. This is a compilation containing a selection of vocal pieces from the worlds of choral music and opera. There are pieces in this collection which you would immediately recognise on hearing them, even if their names are not familiar. In the set is a CD of relaxing pieces and a CD of uplifting pieces, so you have the choice of which best suits your mood. ...
...John Brunning is one of Classic FM's own presenters. He composed this short piece, which is sung on the CD by All Angels. I would describe it as a sweet piece, but it doesn't really stick in my mind after I've heard it. It's pleasant enough to hear in the background though. 4 Canteloube - 'Bailero'. Canteloube took his inspiration from the traditional folk songs of the Auvergne region of France where he was born. He arranged these songs for orchestra ...

Visions

Advantages: Another great CD from Libera
Disadvantages: One or two weaker tracks

This CD is another good CD by Libera, and in my opinion this one is the best. It is definitely the best one that I have heard. I recently purchased this CD at about £10 or £11 from amazon.co.uk and have thoroughly enjoyed listening to the CD. The CD contains 13 great tracks. These include the amazing tracks like: Locus Iste (based on Pachelbels Canon and contains the amazing Sanctus sung by them) Prayer Wings of a Dove (not the traditional version ...
...the Lost (based on the poem about Flanders Fields) Sing for Ever Abide with Me (a stunning version of this well known and well loved hmyn) Also there are other good tracks like: Sempiterna Always with you Ave Maria Something sings These tracks being really good also are just slightly less good than those ones mentioned above. And then there are the tracks: Libera Recordare which are just again slightly worse and would be the weak tracks ...

Pour another Martini and kick back

Advantages: Top sounds of swing, country and vegas high rollers
Disadvantages: Shows Mr Sinatra up for the fraud that he was

The Rat Pack. Vegas. Fun and laughs at the Sands Casino. Frank and Sammy. Who really wants to forgt a crew of guys who epitomise the whole ethos of cool? Certainly not me. But of that group one man stood head and shoulders above the others. He was rugged, strong and could sing songs so effortlessly that it sounded like he could do it in his sleep. Dean Martin was not only as enigmatic as Frank Sinatra, and as funny as Sammy Davis Jr, but he had ...
...the British invasion of the American charts in the Sixties, he as one of the few who managed to fend off the Beatles from the top positions. This "Very Best of" album is certainly that as for the first time it gathered together the hits from his stint with both Capitol Records and Reprise Records. Dean managed to move across a few genres in his career, and all are represented here on this album. He has hits from swooning Big Band ballads (The ...

I just haven't met him yet!!

Advantages: Some of his own songs, some classics
Disadvantages: None

...Georgia On My Mind and Crazy Love to name but a few. In my opinion he does a good job with each song, putting his own spin on it but still keeping the same essence of each song which I like. The rest of the album is as follows: "Cry Me a River" "All of Me" "Georgia on My Mind" "Crazy Love" "Haven't Met You Yet" "All I Do Is Dream of You" "Hold On" "Heartache Tonight" "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" "At This ...

Swinging and Swaying Into The Spotlight

Advantages: A superb mix of tracks on an accomplished debut album
Disadvantages: One or two weaker links.

...has been the Canadian crooner Michael Bublé. THE SINGER & ALBUM Grammy award-winning Michael Bublé burst on to the scene with his eponymous debut in 2003, which features a number of well-known covers spanning several decades of popular music. It was received extremely well by both the paying public and music critics alike, winning him the honour of Best New Talent at Canada’s 2004 Juno Awards (think the equivalent of the Brits). Along with ...
...one of my favourite George Michael songs, “Kissing A Fool”, and the Van Morrison classic “Moondance”. I bought the album on the back of hearing his rendition of “Come Fly With Me” and when I examined the track listing, I suspected he may have bitten off more than he could chew. It’s one thing to cover a Peggy Lee classic, which, perhaps a younger audience would not have heard so much – but another thing entirely to take on a consummate showman like ...
