After becoming the youngest artist ever to land the number one album on theclassical charts, she then performed forPope John Paul II, The Prince of Wales, President Clinton and made numerous television appearances. She now returns withher sophomore effort, a self titled album of mostly arias. "Just Wave Hello", produced by Trevor Horn and written especially for Charlotte, is the Ford television campaign song. It is a beautiful tune featuring an angelic choir and a drumtrack for a pop feel. "Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer" features the London Welsh Male Voice Choir and shows what her voice is truly capable of, as it soars to breathtaking heights. There is a varietyof material also, as Charlotte does a wonderful version of Gershwin's "Summertime" (from 'Porgy and Bess'). Superb playing by the London Symphony Orchestra and excellent arrangements accompany the majestic vocals. Exceeding VOICE OF AN ANGEL, Charlotte Church shines throughout.
