5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece, July 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Higher (Audio CD)

Higher is a brilliant album! I purchased it several months ago and it has been the only CD I have listened to since. Aled has an amazing voice so rich with emotion. At times his voice is achingly sweet, angelic, and pure but then suddenly he will open up into this warm, full, deliciously rich, powerful baritone. He makes even the simplist word sound like poetry! Aled has a vocal tone very similar to Josh Groban but he still has his own sound. Maybe a little more on the classical side. The stand out selections on Higher are: San Damiano-probably the most pop sounding track on the album...so catchy with gorgeous vocals, Where 'Er You Walk-Handel must have had Aled's voice in mind when he wrote this several hundred years ago, David of the White Rock-The welsh lyrics add to the beauty of this haunting song, Count Your Blessing-Aled's voice at it sweetest...heavenly!, and Aberstwyth-Aled's voice at it's most powerful...and can this man SING! Other selections worth mentioning are You Raise Me Up and Marble Halls a great duet with cellist Julian Lloyd Webber. In closing, a masterpiece!

I have to say first of all, I don't have any Aled Jones album but I know him for a song he sung with Mike Oldfield when he was a child, 'Pictures in the Dark'. I believe it was wonderful and gave a very original vibe to the song along with Norwegian singer, Anita Hegerland.


I have to add I've heard a bit of the audio tracks and specially the version of Enya's 'Marble Halls' captured my sensibility.


This singer has a great taste and I'll take any chance of holding a CD from him.

I have his "Aled" before and I thought it was very amazing, but this one "Higher" is even 10 times better than "Aled", really go to a "Higher" level and quality. There is not a single song that I do not find amazing, from the more "pop-oriented" San Damiano, more sacred version of "You Raise Me Up", traditional hymn "Abide With Me", and some other selections like "Marble Halls", christmas song "Silent Night", "Deep Peace", "Count Your Blessings", and Welsh selections "David of the White Rock", "Aberystwyth", etc. Don't hesitate, just buy it and you won't regret.
