Includes liner notes by James Marsh. The people of Wales love their singing and their singers, so much so that when one of their own--be it Tom Jones, Gwyneth Jones or Bryn Terfel--makes good they are treated as national heroes. The Welsh also like to sing together, forming choruses of every description, such as the ten thousand voice World Choir, and they particularly like singing contests so that they can sing together and find more singers to celebrate. Charlotte Church started winning contests at the age of eight and came to national attention by appearing on a television talent show. After making the talk show rounds she was brought to the attention of Sony and this CD, recorded when she was twelve, followed. Her voice has some womanly qualities, but this is still very much a child's voice without the manner of a trained singer. Her natural approach brings a different dimension to much of this material and is heard to best advantage in a selection of harp-accompanied Welsh traditional songs. Producer: Grace Row   Artist Overview Welsh soprano Charlotte Church emerged in the late 1990s as a teenage phenomenon with her multi-platinum debut VOICE OF AN ANGEL. Church gamely rides the line between the pop and classical worlds, crossing freely back and forth over musical dividing lines. After becoming the youngest artist ever to land the number one album on the classical charts, she unerringly worked her way into the hearts of millions of fans worldwide and became one of the most celebrated young vocalists in any style. Whether recording pop songs or operatic arias, her startlingly pure, angelic voice is a true marvel.
