Product Description
From the Artist
Perhaps better known in recent months as the `Queen of the Jungle' in ITV's successful `I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here' reality show, as a TV presenter for the new CNN International movie show `The Screening Room' and as the new face of Marks & Spencer, Myleene is delighted to have the opportunity to return to her classical roots by forming a relationship with EMI Classics.
Myleene says of the new deal "I'm delighted to be working with such a great and well-established record label as EMI Classics - I really hope that my new collection of accessible lifestyle CDs will reach out to audiences who might not have tried classical music before or feel intimidated by it. There really is something here for everyone!"

As a keen listener of Myleene's platinum selling debut classical album, I was keen to listen to 'Myleene's Music for Romance' and I was not dissapointed. I am not an avid listener of classical music but I thorougly enjoyed the album.
Recommended to all even if classical music isn't your forte.

OK. Let's suppose you like Myleene Klass. Great, you'll probably think - a whole 2 CDs of music performed by Myleene. Wrong! There are only two tracks on which she performs. The love theme from Cinema Paradiso that opens the first CD, and the Satie that opens the second CD. Yes, she is a competent pianist. No, she does not demonstrate real flair on those two recordings.
The rest of the CDs are generally fairly indifferent recordings of popular classical pieces that appear to have been chosen for one of two reasons: either to promote another of EMI's "name" artists or to get some use out of a fairly moribund recording with one or two exceptions - the Prévin conducted tracks for example.
There's nothing bad about "name" artists as another reviewer seems to feel. Pavarotti was a name artist. Jessye Norman is a name artist. Vladimir Ashkenazy is a name artist. They're all stratospherically talented. The problem comes when image is regarded as trumping substance, and that is so here.
If you really feel intimidated by classical music, then maybe this is a starting point to get a feel for what you might like. But if you take it further, this album will always sound like a disappointment. However, if you really use it for romance, then maybe you won't really be listening.
And, if you really want to hear a young and ultra-talented pianist (also an EMI artist), take a look at Simon Trpceski's Piano Works. The name may not trip so easily off the tongue, but the notes trip off the keyboard all right.
Better still, get down to your local library, and take a look at the Penguin or Gramophone guides to classical music. If you want to appreciate music rather than just listen to it, don't assume there's an easy way to learn - there isn't.

Another "personality" classical artist. Not very interesting ... even less talent - had to sit through this a while back at a friend's dinner... Read more
