Product Description
Review
If Carreras s singing was a confirmation, the performance of Naas-born soprano Celine Byrne proved a revelation. She will have won many new admirers with her silky delivery of arias such as Delibes Les Filles de Cadiz and the obligatory O mio babbino caro from Gianni Schicchi. --The Sunday Business Post
She has presence, a powerful and flexible voice, and the intelligence to understand how music and words work together. --The Irish Times

CD Description
Celine Byrne may have been a late-comer to the world of opera: she was eighteen years old and working as an au-pair in Italy when she first heard opera sung live, which persuaded her to take singing lessons. Scroll forward to today and among Celine s achievements are her Carnegie Hall debut, a broadcast to over 200 million people in China, and winning the Maria Callas Grand Prix in 2007. Truly, her star is in the ascendant. Now, Celine Byrne releases her debut CD FOR ETERNITY on the RTÉ lyric fm label. While she has a refreshing affinity with the opera classics like Ebben n andrò lontana from La Wally, and Puccini s Vissi d arte and Sì, mi chiamano Mimì, she also displays her remarkable voice on several songs from the Spanish zarzuela tradition to which she was introduced by José Carreras. Accompanied by the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra and Studio Choir conducted by Marco Zambelli, CELINE BYRNE: FORE ETERNITY heralds a remarkable new voice to all lovers of great singing. CELINE BYRNE: FOR ETERNITY joins a growing stable of releases from RTÉ lyric fm, a label that is getting critical acclaim from reviewers at home (The Sunday Business Post/ The Irish Times/ JMI) and abroad (Gramophone/ The American Record Guide/ The Strad/ Classical Music Magazine).

I've heard about Celine Byrne because she sang with Carreras quite often... Now I see she recorded this operatic ballad... and what a stunning piece of art this is... Simple but touching lyrics, in the style of "You raise me up" or something like that... This song is a hit, I can see it in some hollywood sound track or as the anthem of some Olympics... Great song, it's probably a new "Con Te Partiro".

Incredible voice--blown away by her talent
7 Jan 2012
Format:Audio CD
What an incredible world class voice this artist has. Hard to credit that she only started to sing at 19 years old. The album is incredible, actually incredible does not do it justice. Awesome and so glad I purchased.
