I'm listening to "In The Hands Of Love", the debut album by young Italian tenor Vittorio Grigolo. I think he has an amazing voice, and is my fave tenor right now! :cool: You can listen to samples from the US version, "Vittorio" here (http://www.amazon.com/Vittorio/dp/B000GW8UFO/sr=8-1/qid=1163442841/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-6027348-9427320?ie=UTF8&s=music). I prefer the UK/International version, though, as it has two extra songs, as well as a duet with opera singer Katherine Jenkins. In the US edition, Vittorio duets the same song, "You Are My Miracle", with pop singer Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls. That's also lovely, and their voices make for an interesting combination!

Got to listen to this album for the first time this week. Yes, the single America is OK and catchy. The rest I was disappointed in. (or expecting more) Just didn't buy into the whole sound/vibe. Trying too hard to be something special. (I think its the vocalist) Maybe it will grow on me, but to be honest I'm not sure I will spend that much time or make the effort (just like the recent Peter Gabriel releases!!) Its in the car Cd player just now so stands a chance of being palyed more than once, so who knows.

Jeid,
I have a VERY varied taste. Any genre as long as it hits some emotion within and is musically interesting/well performed (and heavy rock is what I was weaned on as a young thing!!). Seen Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Saxon etc in my day . . . . . .:eek:

Big on Mozart/classical as well (especially his piano concertos and operas), jazz, fusion, bla, bla bla.

Variety is the spice of life. (and a musically mature outlook).

Over the past few days, I've been listening to "Portrait: The Music of Dan Fogelberg from 1972-1997". It's a superb 4 disc boxed set. I've always liked Dan's music, his voice and lyrics. I think one reviewer on Amazon hit the nail on the head when he said that his songs don't just tell a story, they paint a picture. I'm most familiar with Dan's 16 hits on the first disc, but the other CDs are enjoyable too. You can take a listen to the song samples on Amazon here (http://www.amazon.com/Portrait-Music-Dan-Fogelberg-1972-1997/dp/B000002BUG/ref=dp_return_1/102-6027348-9427320?ie=UTF8&n=5174&s=music).

This is Dan Fogelberg's official website (http://www.danfogelberg.com/), which is worth taking a look at also. I didn't realise his mother was originally from Scotland, till I read the biography section. :cool:

The Green Leaves Of Summer - Dmitri Tiomkin

[Sporran]

I'm listening to Sarah McLachlan's recently released "Wintersong" album, which I believe is her first Christmas CD. It's absolutely beautiful, and I highly recommend it! :) As well as the title track, there are eight traditional songs, to which Sarah adds her own special ethereal touch. I also love her renditions of John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War is Over)", Joni Mitchell's "River" and Gordon Lightfoot's "Song for a Winter's Night". Those three songs were faves of mine to begin with. Anyway, don't just take my word for it. You can watch Sarah perform some of the numbers on a music video, as well as listen to samples of all twelve songs here (http://www.amazon.com/Wintersong-Sarah-McLachlan/dp/B000HBKCDC/sr=1-1/qid=1164682602/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-7072674-0935342?ie=UTF8&s=music).

Right now I'm playing "Peace (http://www.amazon.com/Peace-Jim-Brickman/dp/B0000ABGD4/sr=1-5/qid=1165252294/ref=sr_1_5/102-6027348-9427320?ie=UTF8&s=music)" by Jim Brickman, who is one of my favourite pianists. I always find his music soothing and relaxing, and of course this Christmas album is no exception. His previous one, "The Gift (http://www.amazon.com/Gift-Jim-Brickman/dp/B000000NNB/sr=1-4/qid=1165252294/ref=sr_1_4/102-6027348-9427320?ie=UTF8&s=music)" is wonderful too. Also on the agenda today is Jim Wilson, another fave pianist of mine. His music is in the same vein as Jim Brickman's, but he doesn't have as many albums on the market. "My First Christmas With You (http://www.amazon.com/First-Christmas-You-Jim-Wilson/dp/B00006JOC2/sr=1-6/qid=1165255156/ref=sr_1_6/102-6027348-9427320?ie=UTF8&s=music)" is a lovely seasonal gem by Mr Wilson, and one that I enjoy just as much as Mr Brickman's.

LOL, Dreadnought, I guess Celine doesn't appeal to everyone. From what I can gather, folk either like her voice, or they don't. I think the same can be said for Michael Bolton. There are occasional instances, though, where both singers have exercised some restraint in their vocal efforts. I found that to be the case in several of the songs on "These Are Special Times".

Their concert was absolutely amazing - they're even better live than on CD. I also got their autographs after the show, so I was really chuffed! :cool:

I'm listening to "Peace on Earth" by Japanese new age musician Kitaro, at the moment. It's a really beautiful album of mostly traditional Christmas songs. The Amazon editorial review sums it up nicely by saying:

"Peace on Earth is the first holiday album by Kitaro and takes long time holiday favorites and orchestrates them with ethereal overtones, spiritual subtleties and bursts of theatrical effects. Also included is an original Christmas composition composed by Kitaro."

Music samples of each track are here (http://www.amazon.com/Peace-Earth-Kitaro/dp/B000005WNM/sr=1-10/qid=1167106464/ref=sr_1_10/104-8180246-2088733?ie=UTF8&s=music). Enjoy! :cool:

Performers are cellist Yo-Yo Ma and British pianist Kathryn Stott. C'est magnifique!! :)

At the moment, I'm listening to "Message of the Sea: Celtic Music for Guitar". Lovely relaxation music performed by classical guitarist David Russell (http://www.davidrussellguitar.com/index.html). David was born in Glasgow, but brought up in Minorca, Spain. He studied music and guitar at the Royal Academy of Music in London, and won Bream and Segovia awards whilst in his youth.

A really wonderful cover version than IMO is MILES better than Joni Mitchell's 'original'. I suspect however that it is an old folk song and she was simply the first to record it.

Someone on YouTube put together a video for this track and I quite like the video but it's not official, just a personal response to the music by a you-tube-r

I'm glad to hear they are still touring, and still very good, emb123. :) Maddy has a very distinctive voice, and I always loved the band's vocal harmonies, as well as their catchy tunes.

Today I'm listening to "A New Journey" by the Irish band "Celtic Woman". The CD was just released this past week, and it's lovely! I was just as impressed with their eponymous debut album last year. This time around, the five Irish ladies are joined by young New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra, who already has several albums to her credit. Her angelic voice fits right in with the equally angelic vocals of the other members.

Each of the sixteen tracks is wonderful, but I especially enjoy "Caledonia", written by Scotsman Dougie MacLean, a musician who hails from Perthshire. :cool:
