"Crossover from opera to popular singing can be difficult - witness Marilyn Horne. She is a wonderful mezzosoprano in the operatic roles who does not translate well into the popular medium. Katherine Jenkins seems comfortable in both media, and she has a much better voice than Sarah Brightman. There are selections on this disc that are traditionally tenor arias. Why not a soprano?? This is a great collection - treat yourself!"
Katherine Jenkins' Living a Dream CD

(5 out of 5 stars)
"As with her other CDs, this one is another 'keeper'. I'm pleasantly surprised and impressed with her vocal talents and abilities. She is truly one very fine classical artist. Katherine, thank you for sharing your gifts with the world. I, for one, appreciate you and what you've accomplished."
Beautiful voice full of magnetism

"Katherine Jenkins' voice is so beautiful and so full of magnetism that once I start listening I can not stop. My wife is very picky with songs and singers. But she fell in love with this album right away. This is definitely among our most loved."
Great rendition of Un Bel Di in English

"Purchased this album primarily to have Katherine's rendition of Un Bel Di in English - love the song (and now that I know what the meaning of the Italian, even more!). First heard it on Pandora. The other songs are good. Katherine is beautiful - would love to listen to her live someday. Let me know if others find other songs on the album particularly engaging. Charlotte Church and Sarah Brightman do as well on these standard popular numbers."
