Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Travelling Light could hardly be described as a classical album, but it could be called Lesley Garrett's "coming out" album. Instead of trying to be all things to all men by combining classical arias with show-stoppers and pop and not doing complete justice to any (as she herself admits admirably in her own booklet notes), here she concentrates on one theme. The result is one of her most successful and enjoyable recordings to date. The canny variety of sources, moods and textures in the 14 songs is complemented by some imaginative arrangements and the presence of some of La Garrett's friends--Bryn Terfel on terrific form in "Bess, You is my woman now", Michael Ball giving a demonstration of how a theatre-trained singer sells a lyric in "The Summer Knows", and Evelyn Glennie (her contribution in "Mambo Italiano" is worth the price of the disc alone). Despite a misconceived "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (where is the wistful innocence?) and an uncharacterised "Alabama Song" (I didn't believe she'd ever drunk anything stronger than lemonade), Garrett offers some really thrilling singing, not least in her superb version of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables. Why does no one book her for a West End/Broadway show? --Jeremy Nicholas
