The beauty is obvius in her stature and her voice,particular in the rendering of " Autumn Leaves" oustanding!
Something missingWithout a doubt she has a startlingly beautiful voice, and general beauty about her, and this is a very repectable track list.
I also admire how she has made the perhaps more exclusively operatic music more appealing to the meanstream, so basically if you picked this up having never listened to classical or opera, you wouldn't be too awestruck.
I just felt that overall there was something missing, and the CD as a whole isn't too appealing. There are some standouts however including her rendition of the theme to the old film version of Romeo and Juliet.
I'm sure her next album will be spectacular, this is indeed a more than decent first step on the classical ladder. I might not recommend this to a classical 'newbie' or whatever you want to call a newcomer, then again, it all depends on your taste.
