Synopsis

Album Description

The captivating Italian-born soprano Giorgia Fumanti sings with purity and grace on her stunning Manhattan Records debut - From My Heart. Straddling the line between pop and classical, Giorgia's voice draws comparisons to the operatic-pop style of Andrea Bocelli and the spiritual flair of Enya. Her distinctive style is borne of her compelling interpretations of an eclectic group of composers, from Sting to Bach to Italian film music master Ennio Morricone. From My Heart features four Morricone classic film scores, including themes from The Mission, Cinema Paradiso, and Once Upon a Time in the West. Giorgia herself translated Sting's "Fields of Gold" for her stunning acoustic-flavored rendition of "Campi d'Oro." She also salutes another of her heroes with her own take on Barbra Streisand's "I've Dreamed of You" while her classical training shines on the "Aria" (based on The Swan from Saint-SaÃ«ns).

CD Reviews

From my heart

"Up until now I had never heard of Giorgia Fumanti. Last week I was at a major retail book store looking for a good reason to use my gift card. I came across FROM MY HEART by Giorgia Fumanti when I was perusing the classical section. After I heard samples of the cd, I was immediately hooked. I didn't leave the store with that cd that day but within a couple of days later I was able to find a cheap but unused copy of FROM MY HEART on the internet. I got my copy of the cd yesterday in the mail and have been listening to it non-stop.

For Sarah Brighman, Sasha Lazard, Charlotte Church fans, Italian opera singer Giorgia Fumanti is right up your alley. FROM MY HEART is a collection of beautiful classical/pop songs that is sure to tug at your heart strings. Giorgia's vocals reminds me a bit of Sasha Lazard. I can completely understand every word she sings. One of my personal favorite songs is Italian translation of Sting's "Fields of Gold". I liked hearing the lyrics being sung in another language. Another favorite is "A Rose Among Thorns" which is a variation on the ever so popular "Nella Fantasia". I liked hearing the song with different lyrics. That was a nice touch. After hearing the song on so many classical/pop cds, the different lyrics were quite refreshing to me. Every song on the cd is wonderful in their own right. FROM MY HEART is a must have for classical/crossover fans."

Classical Xover Poobah

"Stunning, stunning, stunning! I've listened to this CD for about 6 months and it just gets better. This is classical crossover at its best, period! Giorgia has a voice and style that is easily the equal of Sara Brightman, Meav, Haley Westenra, Sissel or Lisa Kelley, the other "greats" of crossover vocals.

This CD is also spectacular because of the choice of music, the masterful production and recording processes. Every song is absolutely stunning and most are songs not commonly recorded.

There is a lot of "junk" music out there to wade through. But, if you love beautiful, non-dissonant music, this CD is as good as it gets.

All that is needed is more of her recordings!"

Lovely!

"I just purchased this cd tonight, and I already love it. I heard of her through somebody who posts at the Sarah Brightman fan website. The first song I heard of her's was "Your Love" and I just wanted to hear more after that. She has a really unique sounding voice, and is a breath of fresh air really. Her pitch is also really precise which is what I notice most. I kind of wish she would've done an aria on the cd because I think it would've turned out really nice. But maybe on her next album! =)"
