Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
All things come in threes. The tenors have already done it; now soprano Lesley Garrett manages a hat trick under her own steam--May 2000 sees the release of her new album, the publication of her autobiography, Notes from a Small Soprano and the screening of her latest series for BBC2. Not a diva in the traditional sense, Garrett is establishing herself as a kind of musical Michael Barrymore. A comfortable and generous host, she lets young Ramón Vargas shine alongside herself in "Parigi o cara" from La Traviata while Ladysmith Black Mambazo provides an interesting contrast to Garrett on the closing track.
Undeniably, Garrett is happiest alone in front of the band, be it the BBC Concert or Grimethorpe Colliery. Among many seamless arrangements features a delightfully schmaltzy version of "La Vie en rose" and the beautiful new Karl Jenkins composition He wishes for the Clothes of Heaven. Her take on Handel's "Tornami a vagheggiar" is frank and confident though lacking in intimacy and ensemble play. "Bel raggio lusinghier" from Rossini's Semiramide is flawless but Cole Porter's "Night and Day" sure doesn't swing.
Garrett takes her widening audience on a distinctly unrocky road. Making sure she won't have to wait too long for her next gold, she makes the noises we like to hear, and therein lies the secret of her success. --Yngvil V. G.
