{"product_id":"the-voice","title":"The Voice - 1072","description":"Amazon.com\n\nRussell Watson's story is a classic rags-to-riches fairy tale: The former welder, after years of singing in pubs and clubs, traveled from Salford, his hometown, to London. He turned up unannounced at the Decca offices and was promptly signed up by one of the most important classical labels in the world. Vocal coaching followed, as did a number of successful live appearances supporting Cliff Richard. Now, we have this recital CD, which explores a wide range of musical styles. Watson's Italian is a little ponderous in tracks such as \"Amor Ti Vieta,\" but this is more than offset by his captivating and utterly natural-sounding tenor voice. The inevitable popular arias are here, namely \"La Donna è Mobile\" and \"Nessun Dorma,\" sung with a refreshing and youthful vitality. Pop tracks, including Ultravox's classic 1980s hit \"Vienna\" and a witty cover version of \"Barcelona\" sung with former Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder, sit comfortably on the disc. Watson performs them with integrity, not simply paying lip service to the music of his generation. Watson has the potential to do for classical music what Jamie Oliver has done for cookery, and there are few people who won't find this debut CD appealing. --Rebecca Agnew\n\nProduct description\n\nWatson,Russell ~ Voice\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00005B7JD\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GGV.B00005B7JD.LN\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Like New\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49564582838570,"sku":"GGV.B00005B7JD.LN","price":10.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0819\/9210\/files\/skuimage_5bf99b25-6032-4b68-84b1-cce93984f151.jpg?v=1731172828","url":"https:\/\/recycle4.com\/products\/the-voice","provider":"Recycle4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
