Enjoy this celtic crystal-clear voiced soprano

"Chloe's solo CD is arguably the closest to the sound and production style of the mega-hit "Celtic Woman"(CW) CD from last year. Her crystalline soprano stands out on songs also featured previously in CW including "Walking on the Air", "Nella Fantasia", "Someday", "One Worlds" and "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"(which was featured in the PBS special and DVD but not on the CW CD.



She adds a fresh spin to the oft used songs in pop-opera circles, "The Prayer"[Watson,Groban, Dion, Bocelli], "Vincent" and "To Where You Are"[Groban]. She also takes on some pure classical compositions including Franck's "Panis Angelicus" and Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and a interesting vocal to Vivaldi's "Rain" from the "The Four Season's". She also adds the beautiful song "Winter Light" from the movie "The Secret Garden"[also recorded by Linda Ronstadt and later by Sarah Brightman}.



Chloe's enchanting vocal quality will make this CD a must-have. ALthough she does not break new ground, this CD will serve as a great companion piece to "Celtic Woman" and is my personal favorite of the 5 artists featured in Celtic Women."

My favorite of the Celtic Woman albums

"Not only is there wide diversity of song material here, but much of it is simply haunting. This is an album that is soft and accessable without sounding overly sentimental. In short, it is music that can be listened to b men and women and it soothes the soul. Listen to the song Walking in The Air, for instance. Sound familiar? Maybe so, because it was used in a lovely animated movie called The Snowman. Other songs will sound equally familiar but subtly transcendent when sung by Chloe."

I Wish More Things Sounded Like This

"I discovered, after hearing my first Hayley Westenra album, that I am easily hypnotized by a high pure woman's voice singing things melodic. For some reason this embarasses me. Of course, I think of myself as one of those godawful intellectuals who have long conversations about Back's inner voices. I have to sneak away from myself to enjoy something that is simply pure and melodic, something which, in this day and age, puts emotion and beauty first.



Well there, I've confessed. Chloe Agnew does a wonderful job of picking music that fits her voice perfectly and then being perfect with it. The selection runs from classical to popular, and there isn't a loser in the bunch. What I would really like to know is why there is only one Chloe Agnew album on this continent (or any other). She is another young, fresh voice like Hayley Westenra and deserves every bit of recognition she gets."
