Charlotte
Church
- Charlotte
Church, is a 12-year-old Welsh soprano and she made her
debut on Sony Classical on the 7th December 1998 with the
release of "Voice of an Angel". A diverse collection of
songs sacred and Celtic that highlight her extraordinary
voice. "Voice of an Angel" has 17 tracks and features a wide
variety of music from folk songs to opera and includes such
well known pieces as "Panis Angelicus", "Amazing Grace" and
Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu" together with the beautiful Welsh
lullaby "Suo Gân" and the old Irish favourite, "Danny
Boy". Charlotte is accompanied by the Orchestra and Chorus
of the Welsh National Opera under the direction of
Sîan Edwards. Harpist Meinir Huelyn appears on "My
Lagan Love" and "Three Welsh Bird Songs".
Charlotte was born in Llandaff, Cardiff. Charlotte has loved music ever since she can remember. She lives with her parents, Maria and James. She first appeared on stage at the age of three and a half with her cousin at a seaside holiday camp in Caernarfon in Wales, where the two sang "Ghostbusters". "When we'd finished, she left the stage, but I refused to go, they had to drag me off!" Charlotte said. By the age of eight she made a name for herself at local karaoke competitions, and audiences began to appreciate the purity of her voice.
"I was watching the Richard and Judy show on TV and they said they were looking for talented kids. No-one was around so I phoned up," she says."The producers said I had to sing down the phone". "So I did 'Pie Jesu' and that was it". "I was invited on the show. Mum and Dad were the last to find out!"
They subsequently invited her onto the programme on the strength of that phone call and she stole the show. This led to even more television performances, as well as high profile concerts at the London Palladium, the Royal Albert Hall and Cardiff Arms Park. "It all went a bit mad!" laughs Charlotte. A few months later Charlotte introduced her Aunt, also a Singer on a national television talent show. The presenter asked Charlotte to sing a few bars of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu" and as a result she was invited onto another programme where she sang the song in it's entirety.

Just Wave Hello 2. La
Pastorella
Performance Details: To judge by the impassioned responses to her debut album Voice of an Angel, Charlotte Church has already set extraordinary expectations for any follow-up. After all, the vocal phenomenon from Cardiff, Wales, took up a place in The Guinness Book of Records as the youngest artist ever--at the tender age of 12--to have an album attaining No. 1 status on the classical charts. This self-titled second release will continue to delight the highly gifted singer's legions of fans, and also contains some surprises for them. Church here tries out classical repertory with Puccini's "O mio babbino caro" and the "Jewel Song"--her pure and high-flying voice showing an amazing agility. There is great warmth in a couple of sacred songs, as well as the traditional Irish "She Moved Through the Fair." Church's vocal color--almost like a boy soprano at times--brings something unique to Gershwin's "Summertime," while the first track--"Just Wave Hello"--seems destined to become part of the music you can't avoid associating with the turn of the millennium. --Sarah Chin |
