Editorial Reviews

About the Artist
Born in 1974, British tenor Russell Watson became an opera singer by freak occurrence. While he was regularly singing in bars and clubs in the Manchester and London suburbs, an owner of one such venue told Watson that he thought his voice was better suited for opera and requested that he learn Puccini's 'Nessum Dorma', which he did and promptly added to his set. Watson eventually signed with Decca Records, issuing his debut, entitled The Voice, in April of 2001. Nicknamed 'the People's Tenor', Russell seems poised to convert more than a few opera naysayers!

Product Description
The story of Russell Watson is inspirational: a factory worker born in Salford, North West England, Russell went from performing on the pub and club circuit in his spare time to singing for the Pope, prime ministers and presidents and selling over 5 million albums worldwide. Watson, otherwise known as "The Voice," is back with all his most popular hits on one CD. The Ultimate Collection features "Nessun Dorma," "Funiculi, Funicula" "Miserere," and "Nella Fantasia." The new collection also contains two new bonus tracks, Elvis's #1 hit "Can't Help Falling In Love" and Whitney Houston's powerful song "I Have Nothing."

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Triumph, May 19, 2006
By D. Coleman (Pennsylvania USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are not enough superlatives to describe this young man. This is truly "the best of the best" ...all of his best in one CD. The bonus track "Can't Help Falling In Love" is worth the price of admission!! Wish he would tour in the USA!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, November 30, 2007
I heard about Russell Watson on the aol welcome screen news items--in reference to the operation he recently went through. I went to his site and was captivated by his music. I love this cd, especially the song "Barcelona." His voice is magical. I highly recommend this cd.
