RECORDING INFORMATION

The Beautiful Voice sings the World's favourite classical vocal music. A feast of sumptuous inspirational classics.

World-class accompaniment from The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andreas Delfs.

The World's best-loved classical favourites...and a few surprises.

Throughout history the pure soprano voice has always been associated with the expression of human spirituality - from the formal settings of the Catholic Mass to the simplest songs of faith and devotion. The most familiar sacred songs and arias are often associated with the most important events of our lives, and so many of them are among the most deeply loved works of all classical music.

Now, star soprano Renée Fleming - known all over the World as The Beautiful Voice follows the tremendous success of her Handel album with a disc which will appeal to the broadest classical audience.

The album includes such well-known titles as Ave Maria, Laudate Dominum and Panis Angelicus along with many other hugely popular classical favourites by Handel, Mozart, Bach etc...as well as less familiar sacred pieces which deserve to become established as 'new classics'.
