 Enjoyable January 1, 2009
I dont think this is the best Katherine Jenkins I have heard but I have enjoyed listening to it.
My favourite tracks were "I Vow to Thee My Country" which moves me to tears and the musical version of a famous poem "Do Not Stand at My Grave.." which was read at my brothers funeral 18 years ago. At first, I couldnt listen to more than a couple of lines but eventually when I felt strong enough, I listened to it and the words and it was sheer beauty. This is a track I will enjoy on my own though.
I also liked "All Things Bright and Beautiful" but was disappointed at the alternative tune used in place of the traditional.
A nice album but it will be one I will flick through.

Una de las mas maravillosas voces que he escuchado en toda mi vida, este es uno de esos albumes que nunca se olvidan y le llegan a uno al fondo del corazon; Katherine le ha dado un nuevo lugar en el mundo a la musica clasica; temas magnificos como el NESSUM DORMA, grandes baladas como OVER THE RAINBOW, ALL THINGS ARE BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL o AMAZING GRACE, la tonada clasica italiana TORNA SURRIENTO (una excelente competidora de la version de Elvis Presley "Surrender"), en resumen, una preciosa coleccion de bellas melodias de ayer y hoy en una voz que pareciera venir de los ngeles; imprescindible para todo amante de lo clsico y las melodias romanticas.

I like to say thank you to God for he create Katherine who is super sexy beautiful woman.It is fact that I am Katherine's number one fan in Holland. I got all her DVDs and CDs and I got many beautiful pages which I got from the magazines.Katherine is so beautiful in the magazines and I got super sexy hot photoshootings which she do and which prove she is so beautiful. There no doubt and no argue that Katherine is most super hot and beautiful woman in the music today. I see Katherine on TV many time and I always like to see her most excellent cleavage. I like to say to people who do not know Katherine to please buy the DVDs and CDs and you most certainly will not be dissapoint. Is true that people buy Beyonce and J Lo and yes is true they are hot womans but Katherine much much HOTTER.
Katherine is the most sexy super hot beautiful woman in the music today and all men who are read my review must buy her DVDs and CDs immediate. Even my wife agree Katherine is hot and my wife is a woman!!!!!

Living a Dream is the third CD release by Katherine Jenkins, sharing the same chart success as its predecessors by reaching No. 1 in the UK Classical Music charts and No 4 in the UK Album chart in 2005. It was also awarded Album of the Year at the Classical BRIT Awards in 2006, repeating the success of her previous album Second Nature which won the same award the previous year.
Firstly, I was pleased with the much-improved image which the singer has adopted for this album's cover and sleeve artwork. A new photo and design team has given her a much needed glamour boost to something approaching an opera Diva.
It's also good to see a bit more content, with a playing time of just over 60 minutes it's better value than the two previous releases of 45 and 53 minutes duration.
Choice of songs however I have mixed opinions about, for while some songs work others fall flat and to me sound incompatible with the singers style.
The opening track `I will Always Love You' is translated into Italian, with no lyrics shown on the sleeve booklet, and as a consequence loses much of the impact of the original 1973 Dolly Parton version, and when compared to the hugely successful 1992 Whitney Houston version I think it fares even worse. Katherine Jenkins sings it with technically perfect voice control, while Whitney belts it out with emotion, and wins hands down I think.
To the opposite extreme though is the beautifully sung `I Vow To Thee My Country', with an almost ethereal orchestral backing and choir. This is perfect Katherine Jenkins material.
`Nessun Dorma' from Puccini's opera Turandot is an interesting soprano rendition of the now-famous Three Tenors one, but I don't think it comes close to that of Sarah Brightman's on her 1998 album `Eden'.
`All Things Bright and Beautiful', `Amazing Grace' and `Over the Rainbow' will be popular with those wanting some relaxing listening, and although these are brilliantly sung, I'd rather hear them on Songs of Praise on a Sunday afternoon.
Generally though the songs are a well chosen section of classical, opera and traditional pieces with interesting inclusions such as Andrew Lloyd Webbers `Music of the Night' thrown in.
The album closes suitably with `We'll Meet Again', which Katherine Jenkins has adopted, from Dame Vera Lynn, as her `Forces Sweetheart' trademark song dedicating it to the soldiers in Iraq. I've seen her sing it to great effect live, where it's guaranteed to get some of the older generation reaching for their handkerchiefs.
Another winning album.

Certainly this album is no disaster but neither could anyone with any musical prowess argue it to be a fine compiliation. It is simply yet another disc of songs from the same safe ground as she explores in her other albums and it really is time that a mature singer lived up to her age and produced something that is worthwhile listening to beyond the first hearing.
