Superb Crossover November 12, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a great album - head and shoulders above many other cross over attempts that are around at the moment. It demonstrates not only Jonathan Ansell's amazing vocal range but his growing richness of tone and emotional interpretation that marks him as one of the up an coming world class tenors - and bodes well for many future albums!
High points for me are Amor Tio Vieta , Canto Della Terra, Libiamo and Hoppipolla - the latter being a Sigur Ros track that is an absolute gem.
As with any album - there may be a couple that for personal taste come lower down the 'play it again' scale - possibly Hearts of England has the least effect on my pulse rate - not because of the quality of the singing but the quality of the song - not the rousing anthem it was meant to be unfortunately.
Other than that - a fabulous second solo album - a lovely mix of style and genre to suit all tastes - I'd recommend you go buy it!
An Album to keep Forever November 12, 2008

With this Album Jonathan Ansells voice has matured so much,its a beautiful Album,
My favourite is Canto Della Terra,it shows Jonathans voice off to perfection, I also love E Lucevan Le Stelle,showing a deeper richer side to Jonathans voice,and Who Wants to Live Forever,I really love this track,
and Nessun Dorma,spine tingling,there is not one track that I do not like,
this young man is destined for a great career,
Fabulous album! Bravo Jonathan! November 11, 2008

Beautiful album.
Much as I love Tenor at the Movies - I think this has surpassed it!
Great arias and songs, great vocals and great arrangements.
Jonathans voice gets better and better and praise must be given to Netty his vocal coach who is bringing out of him the most fabulous vocals.
Much praise should go too to the producers of the album - beautiful arrangements - and to the Prague Symphony Orchestra who are superb.
Jonathans voice, as it is maturing, is becoming richer and more mellow with a tone which is quite beautiful. The power and clarity and depth of his vocals is staggering. He has come so far from that young boy on the x factor. The classical tracks are outstanding. It's hard to believe that he is still only 26. In classical/opera terms - still a baby.
Stand out tracks are: a fabulous uplifting Libiamo, the beautifully sung Canto Della Terra, Amor Ti Vieta, E Lucevan Le Stelle, Nessun Dorma, and Aranjuez; along with a delightful version of Panis Angelicus and a lovely new arrangement of O Holy Night.
If I was looking for a "least favourite" track - I would have to dig very deep indeed - and I suppose would reluctantly choose If You're Not the One - but only for the fact that I have never liked the song - Jonathan sings it superbly.
A beautiful album for all year round but with the addition of the very lovely Panis Angelicus and O Holy Night - perfect for Christmas too.
Brilliant album well done Jonathan! November 10, 2008

Very excited -my order has just arrived from amazon -five stars fab album :D
Who wants to live forever-so beautiful and haunting could not be more perfect for Jonathan's voice brilliant.:)
Libiamo -aww it's just lovely full of charm love it!
If you're not the one -I adore the "In your arms" bit wonderful..not a lead track but liking very much.
Amor Ti Vieta -wow Jonathan's beautiful tenor voice really shining here wonderful :).
Hoppipolla -Aww very,very pretty and relaxing ..lovely.
Aranjuez-wow very deep Jonathan's voice is maturing so much brilliant :D.
Canto Della Terra-Adore this one ..Jonathan is just stunning,CE choir wonderful -so emotional.
E Lucevan le Steele -another lovely track showing how Jonathan is maturing so beautifully as a artist :).
Nessun Dorma -aww so wonderful what a voice just fantastic Jonathan and the Prague symphony orchestra are a truly wonderful combination -brilliant.
Panis Angelicus -aww how sweet and lovely so beautiful :).
Hearts of England -agree with opinion that this is more one to inspire at live events and not really a lead track -still fab that Jonathan was given this honour and it's a beautiful anthem.
Oh Holy Night -OMG how wonderful -a haunting reflective version I totally adore
All in all a wonderful album -you can be very proud Jonathan I love it and well done to the CE Choir and Prague Symphony Orchestra .

I saw Jonathan in Sheffield last friday in a brilliant new live show called a Night at the Opera, it was fantastic and so is this album. Jonathan really is exceptionally talented, the production is fantastic and the song choices inspired with some classics as well as some very interesting numbers! ...this will be playing in our house for a long time to come! Well done Jonathan!
