Details: Amazon.caNeed more evidence of the record industry’s obsession with youth? Consider that budding Welsh diva Charlotte Church was a ripe, old 16 when this, her first greatest-hits anthology was released. Spanning her first four releases, as well as some outside collaborations and unreleased material, this 18-track collection underscores the soprano’s seemingly boundless potential–as well as some potential career obstacles ahead. Her crystalline, still-maturing voice is best showcased on classically oriented works like Andrew Lloyd Webber’s « Pie Jesu, » Franck’s « Panis Angelicus, » and her now-ubiquitous rendering of Delibes’ « Flower Duet. » She also excels on folk traditionals such as « She Moved Through the Fair » and « My Langan Love. » But overwrought productions like the already-dated « Dream a Dream » and « Habanera, » a faux-flamenco take on Bizet, nearly get the best of her. Still, her promising duet with fellow young phenom Josh Groban on « The Prayer » and her mature, dreamy reading of A Beautiful Mind’s « All Love Can Be, » as well as strong performances on the previously unreleased « It’s the Heart That Matters Most » and « Bridge over Troubled Waters, » are ample evidence of her potential for rewarding pop crossover–if she doesn’t retire by 21. –Jerry McCulleyProduct DescriptionChurch, Charlotte
