Advantages: The best album yet, fanastic choice of songs Disadvantages: Alubum cover picture does not do Katherine any justice.
To date this is my favourite KatherineJenkins album. It has a great mx of both classical and modern songs on it. My favourite being (Quello Che Faro) Sara Per Te (Everything I Do) I Do It For You. This is the Bryan Adams song from the film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. It has rewritten in Italian and sound fab. Bryan Adams plays the guitar during the song. I also believe that he took the pictures for the album cover. Hopefully this album will win her, a third classical Brit Award in 2007.
The track list is as follows:-
1. (Quello Che Faro) Sara Per Te (Everything I Do) I Do It For You
2. Nella Fantasia
3. Chanson Boheme (from Bizet's Carmen)
4. Green Green Grass Of Home
5. O Mio Babbino Caro

written by Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure in 184. and the music composed by Adolphe Charles Adams. The lyrics were later translated into English by John Sullivan Dwight. After listening to KatherineJenkins sing this, I understand what people mean when they say ?a voice of an angel?.
There of course had to be one Welsh song on the album. ?Calon Lan? is a well-loved Welsh hymn composed by John Hughes with lyrics by Daniel James. Katherine sings it with purity and sincerity.
The final track is ?You?ll Never Walk Alone? composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein for the musical Carousel. The song forms a tremendous crescendo to the album.
Listening to the album, it is hard to believe that this is only KatherineJenkins? second album. She delivers each song as if she were a seasoned performer. She instills all ...
Advantages: A great read (if you like this sort of thing, obviously) Disadvantages: No longer in print, so getting hold of a copy isn't as easy as popping down to Waterstones
I'll make no bones about it - this is one of my favourite books. It's been everywhere with me (holidays, conferences, hospital... you name it) and every time I pick it up it's like seeing an old friend again. The book is very well written, and is even more impressive when you realise that the people in the book were real. Obviously I don't want to give away all the ins and outs of the story, as Anya Seton writes it far better than I ever could, but as these were real people, and their existence was well documented, a few historical facts won't spoil anything!
