Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
A year or so on from the release of his debut CD, Russell Watson is back with Encore, another mix of opera favourites and popular songs. In that time, Watson has become virtually a household name--he now sells out large concert venues, has made it in America, while The Voice continues to sell way beyond the million-mark. On Encore we find Puccini and Verdi sharing the billing with Lulu and Lionel Richie on 16 tracks which range from the much-loved Bach/Gounod "Ave Maria" to "Where My Heart Will Take Me", the theme for "Enterprise" (the latest Star Trek series). Indeed, The Voices might have been a more appropriate title than Encore as Watson explores opera, sacred works, film and television themes and pop songs. The orchestral arrangements on tracks such as "Va, pensiero" will not win him any fans from the opera contingency, but Watson reveals a captivating sound on pop ballads including "You Are So Beautiful" and "Lost in the Snow". If you enjoyed The Voice, you're certain to want an Encore. --Rebecca Agnew

ENCORE, magnificent,
This review is from: The Voice - Encore (Audio CD)
I have listened to The Voice every single day since it's release last year and have waited so impatiently for ENCORE's release. I'm not disappointed i'm ectstaic. A truly wonderful blend of classic Italian aria's such as Che Gilda Manina and E Lucevan le Stelle combine with beautiful love songs. You Are so Beautiful is one of the highlights of this album. Russell Watson showing his amazing talent and the unbelieveable versatility of his voice, from passionate and powerful to soft and sexy. ENCORE RUSSELL, ENCORE !! Perfection is something so many aspire to but so few attain, Russell Watson has attained perfection and has The Voice developed over the last 12 months, listen and make up your own minds. This is spectacular and spellbinding. Congratulations Russell Watson,Encore the title says it all

Toe-curling gems!,
This review is from: The Voice - Encore (Audio CD)
Yes, indeed, this guy is different! He rivets attention on the emotional level of songs. A voice that's clear, distinct, and voluminous. His voice does something pleasant to the nerves like giving goose-pimples or making the toes curl! There are indeed some 'gems' to this CD. Go buy it; you won't be disappointed.

Encore was worth the wait,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Voice - Encore (Audio CD)
...This was worth waiting for, as Russell Watson's voice has become stronger and more magnificent. His Somewhere is my one of my favorites, but Mattinata, Che gelida manina, and E lucenav le stelle are great. His Italian is much improved and he sings it passionately with an understanding of what he is saying. This is a great companion to The Voice.
