A24 4,326 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I was listening to one of those free CDs you get with those music magazines. Suddenly I recognized a very familiar tune, which until now I had only heard on Williams' Empire of the Sun. This version, for solo soprano and orchestra is simply stunning. Charlotte appears to be only 12 years old when she recorded this for her debut album 'Voice of an Angel'. Check it out the next time you visit your local record store.Of course there's a good chance that this is old news, after all, the CD is from 1999. ----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audax 0 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I just listened to it, but I think the empire of the sun version is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware that it was a competition. No, the two are totally different from one another and they are both beautiful. The Charlotte Church version is more oriental and has some dramatic chord changes that puts it the song in a different perspective.----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector J. Guzman 1 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I've had this a long time, a favor the Church version, but both are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I thought I'd heard that, too, but I asked myself, "Who's ever heard of Welsh music? Celtic's more common, so it's probably Celtic." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
