Editorial Review: Album Description: Katherine Jenkins' fourth studio album Serenade became the number one album on the UK mainstream charts and sold more than 50,000 copies in its first week of release. This ensured it was the biggest seller for a classical CD in Britain ever. Serenade features one of Katherine's favorite songs of all time, her "classicalised" version of Bryan Adams' Everything I Do. "I like the idea of doing a classical version of a pop song. Bryan ended up coming into the studio and playing guitar on the track, which was a moment that was such a thrill." From Amazon.co.uk: Following on from the heady success of albums like Premiere, Second Nature, and Living a Dream, Welsh mezzo-soprano and sometime fashion model and music teacher Katherine Jenkins now presents her fourth collection of classically-rendered hymns, arias, and pop classics. Serenade seems an understated title for someone with such a soaring voice and dynamic range, yet fans will know Jenkins is more than capable of balancing her operatic cartwheels with moments of real tenderness. This is evidenced immediately on the album's opening track, an elegant version of Bryan Adams's "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You," sung in Italian with Adams himself featured on guitar. The same undulations of quietude and drama unfold throughout the rest of the LP as Jenkins recreates timeless classics such as "Dear Lord and Father," "Lisa Lan," "Chance in a Lifetime," and "O Mio Babbino Caro" with characteristic grace and aplomb. --Danny McKenna Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not Just Another Pretty FaceI will admit that when I first saw the track listing for this CD, I felt disappointed. "Come on!" I thought, "Katherine should be more original than this! Practically every soprano records `O Mio Babbino Caro' at one point or another, and here are two common songs from the classical crossover genre, `Nella Fantasia' and `The Prayer'. Should I even invest in something that will only be a re-hash of things I have already heard many times?" In the end however, I decided that even with the unimaginative ...

We look forward to the release your next CD and a tour of New Zealand soon Rating: - What a findThank you Katherine. What a beautiful voice. We have bought all of Katherine's CD's now and look forward to the next one. Only wish I was in London in the next couple of days to see her perform live. Hurry on back to New Zealand! Rating: - A true star of our timesShe stirs me! Katherine's voice is sweet, yet full and flexible. Her interpretation of songs, whether serious opera or slightly lighter, is always impeccable and precise. This CD is a wonderful compilation showing her versatility and true talent. Being as gorgeous as she is, is simply a bonus to a remarkable voice! Jacques Browse for similar items by category:
