As one of the more celebrated figures in the classical crossover genre, Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins here presents several religious pieces, all delivered in tasteful andmuted fashion. Familiar tunes such as 'Abide With Me', 'PieJesu' and even 'Silent Night' are neighboured with more obscure, traditional works like 'Missa Criolla' and even an interpretation of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' (no doubt influenced by the popular Jeff Buckley version). Throughout, Jenkins' impressive voice remains the star, making this release certain to appeal to her existing fans.
