Listening to Classic FM on sky one afternoon, heard a song that sounded familiar but wasn't in English. It was Enrique Iglesias' "Hero" being performed by someone I had never heard of in a language I didn't understand. The voice, the emotion, the sound, all made me stop what I was doing and watch. The man sings from the heart, there's no mistaking it, this man sings from the heart.

Track listing is as follows..

EROE: Hero
LA FORZA DENTRO ME: (Something inside) So strong
PER CHI: Without you
LA NOSTRA FAVOLA: Delilah
LEI: She
OGNUNO SOFFRE: Everybody hurts
DA SOLO NO: All by myself
LA PAROLA PIÚ DIFFICILE: Sorry seems to be the hardest word
ADESSO: I want to know what love is
FAI QUEL CHE VUOI: Whatever you want
CERCA L'EROE DENTRO TE: Search for the hero
IERI A LEI: Yesterday
LA PRIMA VOLTA: The first time ever I saw your face
'O SOLE MIO

Have always turned my nose up at opera... usually referring to it as "Belly ache music", but this album, songs familiar to me, performed in operatic style with a full orchestra behind it... fair brought tears to my eyes. More surprising for me though was the fact that my sons enjoy this album too. Why is that surprising? Because they are 16 and 13.

I bought Tony Henry with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Modern Arias from HMV over here in the UK and I paid £16.99

If anything happened to this CD I would have no qualms about buying a replacement.
