Music reviews of Charlotte Church - Dream a Dream [Super Audio Compact Disk]
Music Review: Give it a rest already...
Rating: 5 Stars
I'll be really honest. I like this cd. I like it a lot. And no, I'm not a Charlotte fan. This is the only album of hers I own, or care to own, for that matter. Nor am I a classical music fan. I'm just an average guy who likes to listen to Christmas carols at Christmas time (imagine that). I think the girl has a beautiful voice. The classical music nuts are ranting that her voice is untrained, that she tries ...(too) hard on one hand, and is unemotional and flat on the other. I think they're missing the point. Quite simply, you don't create best selling albums if you suck. And since her albums routinely top the charts, I think that says something. Okay, so maybe her voice doesn't measure up to the top sopranos out there. That's okay, I don't like most of the top sopranos out there. I LIKE the fact that her voice is untrained. It sounds more honest for the effort. I think she did a fantastic job on my all time favorite carol "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". And I've listened to a lot of renditions of that particular song.The field of classical music has become like so many others: too insular for its own good. Whatever happened to just listening to music for the fun of it? Why not just appreciate it for what it is? After all, if you can pick out every little fault in Charlotte's singing, I think maybe you are listening to way too much music. Sure, it's not perfect. Even I can hear little errors in her performance, and a music afficionado I am not. But again, it sounds all the more honest for it.
Ah well, enough of my ranting. I guess this is like most other things: if the so-called "experts" (ie critics, etc.) hate it, I'm almost sure to love it.
Description of Charlotte Church - Dream a Dream [Super Audio Compact Disk]
Everybody's favorite precocious sprite of a soprano comes out with her third album in Dream a Dream. It's only been two years since Charlotte Church's smash debut, Voice of an Angel, but that's a big chunk of the Welsh singer's life span so far. This latest is basically a Christmas album, so full of festive cheer you'd never guess it was recorded in the summer. Even the glummest of moods will disappear when you hear Charlotte's infectious take on chestnuts such as "Winter Wonderland" and "Little Drummer Boy" (and having the London Symphony Orchestra as your backup band doesn't hurt either). And on top of that is a really special treat: the title song (borrowing an unforgettable classical melody) which blends Church's soaring vocals with the tender voice of young country prodigy Billy Gilman. --Sarah ChinClassical CDs
