Katherine Jenkins = Sarah Brightman

Muy pocos artistas logran captar mi atención, pero en particular esta joven Mezzosoprano es un verdadero tesoro. Posee una voz muy dulce que seduce tus sentidos desde el primer momento que la escuchas. Katherine es sin lugar a dudas la verdadera sucesora de la incomparable Sarah Brightman. Mis tracks favoritos son Il Canto, Johann Pachelbel's Canon & Everything i do (I do it for you).

GRANADA FOREVER!!!

Que maravilloso y precioso ejemplo de como una pieza grandiosa debe ser cantada!!; nunca me cansare de escuchar a la Diva jenkins, sus discos son la mas excquisita musica que pueda escucharse, y le transportan a uno a lugares etereos y magicos; GRANADA es mi cancion favorita del cd (que soberbio comienzo, que entonaciones mas bellas, que grandiosa interpretacion), joyas musicales como CHANSON BOHEME, IL CANTO, el AVE MARIA de Bach, las lindas entonaciones de PACHELBEL'S CANON y la solemnidad de BE MY LOVE; en conjunto, uno de los mas bellos discos clasicos que se tienen hoy en dia... y que nunca pasara de moda.

I fell in love with her voice..

This SERENADE is marvelous, I love almost all songs.
Some people critizaice Katherin Jenkins about she is a copycat of Sarah Brightman,but they are totally diferent.

Returning to the album,the song selection is great,I can ask for more!!!!!

My favs are
*(Quello Che Faró) Sarà Per Te [(Everything I Do) I Do It for You].- I wasn't sure about northamerican songs translated to italian and sung in an operatic style-alike, but this piece is beautiful..
*Nella Fantasia.- This is a Sarah Brightman "original song",Katherin did an excellent job with this song.
* Il canto.- I like the music and MS Jenkins voice brights in this song.

She wears her learning lightly

Marvelous selections, a mix of classical, hymns and pop. Lovely smooth voice, though she has difficulty with syllable flowing together. So she chooses material that lets her hold a note on a vowel. Most of the songs were made popular by others. But for Saturday dinner music, this is about right.

Not Just Another Pretty Face

I 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 song selections, I would buy this CD.

I am very glad I did! There are so many gems here that I now consider this Katherine's best album. Surprisingly, "Nella Fantasia" instantly became a favorite of mine. Her rich, warm tones really brought this song to life in a way I had never heard before. It could have been written for her! Ultimately, I concluded that she did justice to every single track, from the rousing gypsy dance ("Chanson Boheme") to the beautiful hymn, "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind." I would not have left out a single one, not even "O Mio Babbino Caro" (which I still think is sung too often.)

One thing people seem to be arguing about is what genre Katherine belongs to. With arias like "One Fine Day" in her repertoire, she can hardly be called a pop singer, but seeing that she has never actually performed in an opera, she can't rightly be called a legitimate opera singer, either. Instead, she is a part of a growing community of what we call "Classical Crossover" singers. Some people like this, some people don't. I just accept her for who she is - a classically trained recording artist who consistently produces wonderful music.

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."
