Album DescriptionAvailable in:
The Number One Classical Album 2006 features 2CDs of contemporary performances by artists such as Il Divo, Hayley Westenra, Amici Forever, Bocelli and the great Bryn Terfel.
Most of the performers featured here have done much to popularise classical music - in an age when popular music seems to be indulging and celebrating some suspiciously ordinary singers, the quality of Carreras, Katherine Jenkins, Renee Fleming, Bryn Terfel, or the other singers featured on this offering. A chance to listen to comparative newcomers like violinist Nicola Benedetti alongside the more familiar Vanessa Mae.
Maybe not for purists, but there are hours of pleasure and delight here, and given a chance to hear some of the performers you will doubtless be inspired to go buy their individual albums. An excellent sampler which will spend a lot of time on your CD player.
