My Story
Katherine Jenkins – Biography

Compiling a list of the contemporary music world’s most illustrious divas is an interesting mental game to play. Instantly and obviously the figure of Barbra Streisand springs to mind. Streisand is in a rare band of perhaps three international women that can commandeer a devotional gasp from an audience of thousands with one single note. Floating behind her,… Read more in Amazon's Katherine Jenkins Store

An Album of Variety 27 Dec 2005
Format:Audio CD
Living a dream is a very fine album from this now well established singer; a good balance of traditional, and re shaped classics. I particularly enjoyed "Music of the Night" and her new version of the Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston hit I will always love you which sounds beautiful in Italian. I was surprised to see Nessun Dorma on her disk, however her performance is unique and brings a different quality - in my personal opinion having heard so many versions out there already, Katherine's would rank in the top 3 behind Pavarotti and the new talent of Jon Christos on whose album sings this fantastically.

My only slight nag about this album is compared to Second Nature and Premiere, her voice doesn't quite sound as clear which occasionally blurs her diction; I'm no expert but this mainly happens at the top end of the voice. I realise they are different singers but this does not happen to either Keedie, or Hayley Westenra whose voice always sound so effortless throughout her range. I only hope this isn't a sign of a fabulous singer overstretching herself, doing too much too soon. Despite this, Living a Dream is a very good album indeed with songs of different colour, style, emotion - an album to take you on a journey and one I would recommend to anyone.

By Ed
Format:Audio CD
Having recently caught Katherine performing live I was treated to some of the fabulous tracks from her new album - which by the sound of it will be breathtakingly brilliant. Following on from her previous albums Katherine has picked a fantastic choice of songs, all of which suit her style beautifully. 'Nessun Dorma' whilst familiar to millions, sounds fresh and richly enthralling. A simple yet effective version of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' shows yet again what a great song this is, but the most interesting version of an old song on 'Living A Dream' has to be 'Ti Amero Per Sempre (I Will Always Love You)' - a track which was originally written by Dolly Parton and subsequently made famous by Whitney Houston. Katherine gives this song a whole new feel - sung in Italian this beautiful, soaring melody already feels like an old classic, with Katherine's untouchable voice used to its full effect. 'We'll Meet Again' and 'Amazing Grace' both sounded really impressive live and seem to fit in perfectly to the overall feel of the album.

After the enormous success of Premiere and Second Nature it is perhaps hard to believe, but it seems that Katherine Jenkins has surpassed her previous efforts and created her greatest album yet.

Format:Audio CD
For Katherine Jenkins' third album in as many years very little has been left to chance. The 16 songs here, a mixture of popular operatic, sacred and show tunes, with just the one traditional Welsh number this time, would feature well up in everybody's list of favourite melodies. Slight liberties, if that's the right word, are taken with just three of them - the translation into Italian of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" (at last sung by someone with a voice capable of doing it full justice, with all due respect to DP!), the translation the other way into English of Puccini's "One Fine Day" (so that for many of us we at last get to understand what it's all about) and the unfamiliar tune and arrangement by John Rutter of the popular children's hymn "All Things Bright And Beautiful".

In case there is still anyone out there who has not yet come across Katherine's work, let me say that she has a wonderful singing voice, a golden mezzo-soprano, her diction is almost perfect so that you can hear every word, even if you don't understand them, and there is very little noticeable vibrato. A feature of the last album was the slightly idiosyncratic arrangement of some of the songs to fit her range - on this album the arrangements are more straightforward, in some places requiring her to hit some pretty high notes, which she does, perfectly.

The orchestral and choral backings and arrangements are, as before, quite unobtrusive and laid back - although there is reference in the sleevenotes to additional keyboards and programming nothing has been spoiled. However, what it all, including Katherine's vocals, lacks is any excitement or real passion. It is easy, undemanding listening par excellence, and if you enjoyed her first two albums on that level (as did I) you'll enjoy this one as well.
