Editorial Reviews

Product Description

2009 collection from the world's favorite mezzo-soprano. From the crossovers of Cohen's 'Hallelujah' to the straight operatic conventions of Puccini's 'O Mio Babbino Caro', Jenkins proves that she is nothing if not versatile. Her lengthy career has also seen such highlights as a version of 'Time To Say Goodbye' (originally made famous by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman) and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Music Of The Night', from his Phantom Of The Opera musical. Throughout this collection, it is Jenkins' maturity beyond her years that impresses most in performance. Decca. 2009.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great selection of Katherine's music for Decca, November 10, 2009

By	Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Although Katherine Jenkins recorded six albums for Decca, this collection draws heavily on just three of them, these being Second Nature, Living A Dream and Serenade. It would be fair to say that these were the albums that really established Katherine's reputation following her promising debut album, which isn't represented here at all.

It's possible to argue what should have been included. The compilers had a hard job in selecting seventeen tracks that represent the best of Katherine's Decca music. No doubt the selection was influenced by the need to ensure that the album qualified for inclusion in the classical music charts, as all but one of her earlier albums did. This may explain the absence of Katherine's exquisite covers of We'll meet again, You'll never walk alone and Amazing grace, to name but three popular songs that I would like to have seen included. But I am pleased that Decca chose to include Don't cry for me Argentina. This was not included on Living A Dream , but it was included in a deluxe edition of the same album. I decided not to pay the premium price for just that track and one other. There's also a deluxe edition of this collection, Katherine Jenkins: The Ultimate Collection / Special Edition, containing a second CD featuring eight live tracks, but again I opted for the standard edition.

Whether this truly is the ultimate collection of her music, this compilation certainly provides a great introduction to the music of Katherine Jenkins.

2.0 out of 5 stars World's greatest cross-dressing boy soprano!, November 27, 2009

By	Steven Guy (Croydon, South Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ultimate Collection (Audio CD)

Ever heard of Hinge & Bracket? Well, this is the kind of thing they used to do.

Honestly, she sounds like a choir boy or a man singing in a very camp falsetto with a wide vibrato. Her version of "I could have danced all night" almost sounds like Dame Edna Everage!

I like the look of the girl on the cover, though! Beautiful face, wondrous bosoms, pretty blonde hair .... mmmmm! Nice! I'd love to know what the bloke who sang this stuff really looks like (or maybe I'd rather look at the model on the cover, if you know what I mean!).
