First I have to admit that the name of Hayley Westenra I have not heard. I first thought when I received the album in his hands and looked at the cover was: "Simple Women's probably still a pop icon." But when I read the track list and find the titles associated with classical music, pop icon is no longer made sense.
Hayley Westenra is coming from New Zealand, and the last few years living in London. Educated in a classical singer and dancer, but considering the quality and voice capabilities opted for the opera. And under the Decca Records label this year released a compilation of "Hayley Westenra", consisting of her best songs from the past few albums Achieved worldwide fame with the album "Pure," from 2004, which has sold about 2 million copies. Then followed numerous performances and tours, and in 2005. released its second album "Odyssey". I just have these two albums served as a source for made this compilation, which contains 15 songs, copyright, you finish, the songs from the movies.
I would point out, "May It Be", you probably all know from the movie "Lord Of The Rings" and "dell'Amore Non Si Sa", a duet with Andrea Bocelli.
Thus, this compilation represents a kind of overview of what is Hayley so far made. Given the relatively short career (at least this part related to the operatic art, etc., because before she was a member of the Royal New Zealand Ballet) can be said to have done so much and so well.
Successfully combining classical and spiritual music, with the addition of pop to make it all very close to the 'ordinary listeners' proved very successful, and it is just that Hayley earned worldwide popularity. They are true lovers of classical vocal pieces I believe that they have already included this in their collection, compilation albums.
Her songs are for several centuries. Blame the music is often ascribed to Mozart, B. Flis (Bernhard Flies) and I. Fleischmann (Johann Friedrich Anton Fleischmann). There is no consensus about the author does not yet exist. The German text was written by Friedrich Wilhelm Gotterom to play "Esther."
This lullaby is known to Russian listeners called "Sleep, my darling, sleep" in translation Sofia Sviridenko - poet, novelist, translator ekviritmista (penned her first full Russian translation of "Edda"), as well as a musicologist, music critic, who studied the history of , philology and occultism, and knew 15 languages. The translation was made in 1924. Initially, it was in the words "Sleep, my prince, fall asleep," and line "Sleep, my darling, sleep," repeated three times in prison. Incidentally, this line is from "Lullabies" by Konstantin Balmont.
