Lesley Garrett - Amazing Grace (2008)
MP3 |174 kbit ave.| 75.23 MB

The ever-popular soprano Lesley Garrett's thirteenth recording shows her, again, in ever-ebullient form. Her powerful yet sensitive vocals on 'Amazing Grace' take something of an about-face in relation to her recent output, returning to a more traditional collection of songs and pieces. Religious favourites such as 'Laudate Dominum' and 'Agnus Dei' feature prominently, reflecting Garrett's previous dedication to high-art over commerciality. There are also reminders that she is still a commercial singer, with standards such as 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and the title track, 'Amazing Grace'.

Lesley Garrett - I will wait for you (2000)
Classical | 2000 | MP3 | 192Kbps | 62.1 Mb

Not a diva in the traditional sense, Lesley Garrett is establishing herself as a kind of musical Michael Barrymore. A comfortable and generous host, she lets young Ramón Vargas shine alongside herself in "Parigi o cara" from La Traviata while Ladysmith Black Mambazo provides an interesting contrast to Garrett on the closing track. Undeniably, Garrett is happiest alone in front of the band, be it the BBC Concert or Grimethorpe Colliery. Among many seamless arrangements are a delightfully schmaltzy version of "La Vie en rose" and the beautiful new Karl Jenkins composition "He Wishes for the Clothes of Heaven." Her take on Handel's "Tornami a vagheggiar" is frank and confident, though lacking in intimacy and ensemble play. "Bel raggio lusinghier" from Rossini's Semiramide is flawless, but Cole Porter's "Night and Day" sure don't swing. Garrett takes her widening audience on a distinctly unrocky road. Making sure she won't have to wait too long for her next gold, she makes the noises we like to hear, and therein lies the secret of her success. (Yngvil V.G.)
