Editorial Reviews

Product Description
2008 compilation from the New Zealand soprano. From her 2003 debut Pure to 2007's Treasure, this collection highlights the talent and versatility of one of the most recognized voices in modern classical music. Hayley spent her childhood immersing herself in music and theatre. She studied violin, piano and ballet and had appeared in forty amateur stage musicals in Christchurch by the time she was eleven. Since then, she's wowed audiences all around the world with her wonderful voice. Featuring 'Ave Maria', 'Danny Boy', 'Amazing Grace' and 'Never Say Goodbye'- this is a must for all fans. Universal. 2008.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful collection of music, November 4, 2008
If you don't have any of Hayley's albums this is the perfect place to start. With tracks from her previous albums Pure, Odyssey and Treasure.
There three new recordings on the album too !
Now Is The Hour in Maori and English was a huge hit worldwide before Music Charts were even invented. This song is worth the price of the album on its own and Hayley's version is beautifully performed.
A delicate interpretation of Songbird, the Christine MacVie classic.
Also a new recording of Ave Maria demonstrating how much Hayley's voice has matured recently.
the album has 17 great songs to soothe the mind and soul

This album is a real treat. It has a great selection of songs and oh what a beautiful voice Hayley has. Put on your headphones close your eyes and let her voice lull you into euphoria. A great purchase.
