Having already wowed her audience on her recent Australian concert tour, Katherine's newest album signals a collaboration with Bryan Adams. Not only has he taken some stunning photos of her, but he's also been involved with songs on the album itself. Serenade provides a familiar mix of popular opera arias (including here, a gorgeously lush version of the evergreen "O mio babbino caro") to Welsh songs ("Lisa Lan"), timeless popular favourites (including "Be My Love") and Italian re-workings of pop hits (with "Everything I Do" being the lead track on the album). The production is richer than it's ever been, and you're guaranteed to be engulfed and consumed by a sea of sound and romance. NB: December will see the release of Katherine's first DVD.

TRACK LISTING 1 Tu Sei 2 Bedshaped (Cosi) 3 You Are My Miracle - duet with Nicole Scherzinger 4 Magia De Amor 5 In The Hands Of Love 6 All In Love Is Fair (Se L'Amore C'è) 7 If You're Not The One (Se Tu Non Sei Lei) 8 Fuerte 9 Maria 10 Querida 11 Butterfly Forever 12 Roma Sogna 13 Listen To The Bell (Chi Ci Ascolterà) 14 Il Mio Miracolo
Vittorio Grigolo is a name you'll be hearing a lot of. One of the most unbelievably talented tenors of his generation, he was born in Rome, and as a boy, sang with Pavarotti in a performance of Tosca , immediately winning the admiration of - which led to study with - the maestro. Deciding not to join Il Divo when he was invited to do so, he signed a contract with Universal and is already on the way to becoming a shining star. There is perhaps no other male singer in recent times who can cross over so seamlessly from opera to crossover, and certainly no one who can do it with such ease and evoke such overwhelming emotion in the listener. And then you have the classic Italian good looks... The songs on the album, from "Il Mio Miracolo" (both solo version and in English as a duet with Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls) to an Italian cover of Keane's "Bedshaped", the Latin "Querida" and Bernstein's "Maria" (from West Side Story) display an amazing versatility - one which Australians are poised to witness during his promo tour w/c 23 October. In addition to TV advertising for this album, note Vittorio also appears on "Encore" and "Italia" - both TV-advertised albums, and both include unique tracks that don't appear on this album.

Passion. Emotion. These words are synonymous with Andrea Bocelli. Almost ten years ago he exploded onto the international music scene with Romanza and has since sold over 50 million albums worldwide. Amore finds Andrea straying from the classical ground with which he is most familiar with Bocelli's first-ever album of popular songs. Andrea and his producers searched the musical eras from the 1920's to the 1980's for romantic songs including 'Les Feuilles Mortes' (Autumn Leaves), 'Somos Novios' (It's Impossible) and 'Besame Mucho'. This wonderfully re-packaged edition includes a bonus DVD of Andrea Bocelli clips including 'Besame Mucho', 'Cuando Me Enamoro' (Quando M'Innamoro), 'September Morn', 'Can't Help Falling In Love', 'Les Feuilles Mortes' and 'Momentos'.

For her new album, Anna takes listeners to St. Petersburg as she teams up with Valery Gergiev, the conductor who championed Anna when she first arrived from a small town in southern Russia. The recording took place at "Anna's theatre", the Mariinsky - a venue that still serves as an artistic home base for the internationally acclaimed soprano. The collection includes Anna in a signature role, Natasha from Prokofiev's War and Peace - the role that was her breakthrough at the Metropolitan Opera in 2002. In addition Anna gives listeners a taste of roles yet to come with Tatiana's letter scene from Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin. The album also celebrates the fairytale tunes from Rachmaninov, music by Glinka, and the "Swan Princess Aria" from Rimsky-Korsakov's The Tale of Tsar Sultan, as well as two well-known Rachmaninov songs, here in versions with orchestra |

Product microsite: TRACK LISTING Yellow River Piano Concerto (huanghe gangqin xiezouqu)
LÜ WENCHENG, arr. Chen Peixun (*1921): Lang Lang has fascinated audiences all over the globe - now he takes them home to show them "his" China with Dragon Songs, a CD album with Chinese piano solo, chamber and orchestral music and a DVD documentary. Discover the musical culture that forged one of the most acclaimed classical musicians of our day. The CD album juxtaposes the Yellow River Concerto, a large-scale, highly virtuosic piano concerto with colourful sound scales, with miniature pieces for piano solo and with chamber pieces, each combining the piano with traditional Chinese instruments. Though all the pieces were written in the early 20th century, most of them are based on much older sources, merging traditional Chinese melodies and idioms with the Western classical music tradition - the result is music of astonishing beauty and ease that will strongly appeal to a broad audience. Also released is a DVD [see DVD section] features a full-length documentary offering a fascinating look behind the scenes of Lang Lang's latest China tour, from the privacy of his parents' flat (where Lang Lang revisits his very first piano), to a Lang-family lunch and a visit to the local temple, to his successful master classes and stage performances. Additionally this DVD includes a concert of the piano solo and chamber music pieces from the CD, all filmed during the recording sessions in Beijing. In recent years, there has been a huge rise of interest in Chinese culture, a phenomenon that will continue to build up to the Peking Olympics in 2008 - with this project Lang Lang makes himself the perfect ambassador between the Chinese and Western worlds, a mission that is very close to his heart. |

OASCR / Pritchard With this 2CD Limited Edition book Decca pays tribute to a living legend of opera and recording as she celebrates her 80th birthday. As well as representing Joan Sutherland's greatest operatic stage roles, the tracklist also includes rarely heard arias and songs from her many recital albums, and duets with her frequent recording partner Luciano Pavarotti. The book includes a complete illustrated discography of all Joan Sutherland's Decca operas and recital discs, along with their original covers, many of which have rarely been seen. Joan Sutherland's association with Decca covered a period of nearly thirty years. Her first complete Decca opera recording was Lucia di Lammermoor in 1962, and the the last was Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur , recorded in 1988. Her many recital discs include the acclaimed collection The Art Of The Prima Donna and definitive recordings of French and Italian arias as well as collections of popular songs and favourites from operetta. Born in Australia in 1926, Joan Sutherland travelled to London to become a member of the Royal Opera at Covent Garden where she sang for several years (from 1952); in 1959 the director Franco Zeffirelli staged a new production of Donizetti's then rarely-performed Lucia di Lammermoor with Joan Sutherland in the title role. The first night was among the most sensational operatic events London has ever seen and Joan Sutherland became an international star overnight. Through the following decades she sang frequently in all the great opera houses of the World, including La Scala, Milan. where she was named 'La Stupenda'. Encouraged by her husband and mentor, the conductor Richard Bonynge, Joan Sutherland focussed much of her career on the operas of Bellini and Donizetti. Her unparalleled technical accomplishment was even more remarkable given the formidable size and range of her voice, and it was the combination of astonishing agility and sheer vocal power which made her such a uniquely thrilling singer. Since her retirement from the stage on New Year's Eve (31 December) 1990 Joan Sutherland has continued to travel, from her home in Switzerland, passing on her experience to young singers in competitions and masterclasses.
