Einaudi to chill out

Advantages: Beautifully relaxing music
Disadvantages: None

...albums (including some duets). Una Mattina is his seventh album, and contains all new tracks. 'Una Mattina' translates as 'one morning' and the music is as simple as this title. It is another of his solo piano albums, although it does feature the cello in some tracks. It flows where you expect it to, although not in a boring way. The music ripples along, and the cello brings real emotion in certain tracks. The subtle variations in the music and tempo ...
...a suite of pieces. The music is very calming and relaxing, and evokes feelings of peace and tranquility. It is suitable as background music, or simply to listen and relax to. A few people might recognise one of the tracks, Nuvole Bianche from a TV advert for Baci chocolates, used at Christmas time last year. This and 'Ora' are my favourite tracks, although 'A Fuoco' featuring cello makes a close second. The cello tracks (played by Marco Decimo) ...

Get Ready

Advantages: Some superb tracks with very thought-provoking lyrics
Disadvantages: A couple of slightly 'iffy' tracks

...Russell’s 8th studio album – People Get Ready – is the album I am now going to review and is a mixture of soul music, rock and easy listening. Track 1 – Me and Mrs Jones ‘Mr and Mrs Jones’ has a very soulful feeling from the very beginning and the backing track must get the initial credit for this. As the singing kicks in however it is very clear that Russell has all the ability necessary to continue this feeling throughout and proceeds to ...
... Track 4 – People Get Ready This is probably my favourite track on the album and the one that gives the album it’s name. The soft and delicate backing track is simple yet effective and gives the vocals the right amount of emphasis. The vocals themselves are outstanding in my opinion and the power behind them is immense. It is the lyrics themselves however that I think really make this track, as the emotion that is packed behind them is truly ...

The Voice - Encore

Advantages: Great Songs
Disadvantages: None

Russell Watson has made a great CD here. I am not a classical music fan and only bought this CD for one song that was on it. I must say that I have been very plesantly suprised by the content. The CD contains 16 tracks which are:- 1 Va, pensiero 2 Volare 3 The Prayer - with Lulu 4 O sole mio 5 Ave Maria 6 Mattinata 7 Pelagia's Song - Captain Corelli's Mandolin 8 ou are so beautiful 9 Somewhere 10 Che gelida manina 11 E lucevan le stelle ...
...the Tears 14 Lost in the snow 15 Celeste Aide 16 Where my heart will take me - Theme from Enterprise Track 16, Where my heart will take me is the real reason for buying this as me and my husband both liked the song after watching the series Enterprise and then we say Russell perform this at the opening ceremony for the Manchester Commonwealth Games and it really did just blow us away. I find that Lulu and Lionel Ritchie would seem quite odd ...

The People's Tenor

Advantages: A unique, fresh voice. Handsome guy. Will be around for a long time.
Disadvantages: His first effort is not bad and subsequent CD's get better.

After the release of The Voice, Classic FM refused to give it airplay. Was it because it was too radical? How can one mix opera and popular music in one CD? And who was Russell Watson, anyway? Fans protested, Classic FM changed its mind and played what the people wanted to hear, and Russell Watson ended up winning at The Classical Brit Awards that year, and the kudos have not stopped. The Voice is a mix of arias and popular music covers. The choice ...
...Fantasia, and Amor ti Vieta. His voice, phrasing, and control are all superb. The orchestrations are good and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra does a fine job. The Voice is a good place to start if you are thinking about adding Russell Watson's music to your collection. ...
