 oh dear November 18, 2008

Unfortunately, this album contains a cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah', a song which about the pain of sexual love. Katherine turns it into an anodyne, passionless 'hymn', devoid of the heartache that made Jeff Buckley's cover so perfect. A tragic waste of her talents. Yet another example of how 'crossovers' don't work. Avoid. (It isn't even an aria!).
 SIMPLEMENTE GRANDIOSA Y ENCANTADORA October 31, 2008

Katherine Jenkins es una de mis artistas preferidas en lo clasico, y con este album "La Diva" demuestra una vez mas su bellisima versatilidad con una serie de temas que son de corte religioso y muy inclinadas a la reflexion y la meditacion; su voz siempre impecable, dulce y deliciosa; muy hermosa la version de "HALLELUJAH" (me recuerda la de Shrek, tambien muy digna); melodias muy inspiradoras como PIE JESU (linda invitacion a la meditacion), ABIDE WITH ME (muy bella) y DOWN TO THE RIVER TO PRAY (recuerda mucho al "Gospel" de los 50's); me fascino el toque tan delicioso y contagioso de IN PARADISUM, la solemnidad mistica tan profunda de MISA CRIOLLA e incluso SILENT NIGHT, cuya magia me hace evocar la epoca navidena...Para mi, digan lo que digan, Katherine Jenkins sigue siendo mi cantante clasica favorita, y este album muy digno de una gran trayectoria artistica en el mundo clasico.
Opera singer? Pop singer? Who cares? October 28, 2008

I'm not a purist and I don't care whether Katherine Jenkins is an opera singer or not. All I can say is that I love this album. A lot of the songs moved me immensely and this has proved to be an excellent introduction to a type of music I don't know much about. Buy this album and enjoy! Beautiful songs sung by a very gorgeous woman.
Yet Another Winner October 28, 2008

I have been eagerly looking forward to the release of this album, and I have not been disappointed. Contrary to the opinions of some previous reviewers, I think this is one of Katherine's best, if not THE best. I find it so inspirational and moving, so gentle and peaceful; whether or not you're religiously minded, the spellbinding voice of this beautiful girl cannot fail to uplift the heart. Never mind five out of five, if I could, I'd give this album a hundred out of a hundred; it is worthy of a place in anyone's collection; DO NOT miss it!
 Only average, and disappointing from a very talented lady October 28, 2008

Eagerly awaited, but sadly not as good as her previous albums.And I`ve been a fan since "Premiere" . I also agree that the title is somewhat misleading ( as I listen to Silent Night with snow falling outside !! ).It`s a pleasant collection of well-produced mostly familiar material, but "Sacred Arias" is indeed inaccurate.For the real thing, try Mr Bocelli`s splendid album of that title.
