Our Favorite Things (CD)

Welsh soprano Charlotte Church emerged in the late 1990s as a teenage phenomenon with her multi-platinum debut VOICE OF AN ANGEL. Church gamely rides the line between the pop and classical worlds, crossing freely back and forth over musical dividing lines. After becoming the youngest artist ever to land the number one album on the classical charts, she unerringly worked her way into the hearts of millions of fans worldwide and became one of the most celebrated young vocalists in any style. Whether recording pop songs or operatic arias, her startlingly pure, angelic voice is a true marvel.

Full performer name: Tony Bennett/Charlotte Church/Placido Domingo/Vanessa Williams.

Recorded live at the Konzerthaus, Vienna, Austria in December 2000.

This stellar line-up, recorded live in Vienna, performs a program of quintessential Christmas songs in a rich variety of styles, from the light pop of "My Favorite Things" to traditional Spanish tunes such as "Hacia Belen Va Un Burro" and English equivalents like "Angels We Have Heard on High." Tony Bennett kicks the whole thing off with a typically warm rendition of "The Christmas Song." He's followed by a pretty straight reading of "O Holy Night" by the Welsh teen classical prodigy Charlotte Church and the inimitable Placido Domingo, and Vannessa Williams' gospel-tinged version of "Do You Hear What I Hear?"

It's an evening of familiar favorites, impeccably performed, with the added bonus of the Gumpoldskirchner Spatzen Children's Choir providing an appropriately child's-eye view of the holiday. OUR FAVORITE THINGS is a worthy addition to the bulging repertoire of Christmas collections, in a gimmick-free traditional setting.
