Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: In keeping with the current trend for sophisticated fusions of pop and classical music, Universal now present the world's first all-female super-group. All Angels are comprised of four teenage girls - Melanie, Laura, Daisy and Charlotte - who besides being experienced choirgirls have diverse modern listening tastes that span Ella Fitzgerald, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Billie Holiday, Alicia Keys and Coldplay. All Angels, their debut album, starts off with the band's first single, an inspired cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Songbird", a track popularised by Eva Cassidy. The youthful power and subtle glamour of the girls' voices is immediately evident, and becomes even more so as they tackle pop songs like Robbie Williams' "Angels", Carole King's "You've Got A Friend" as well as traditional classial material such as Schubert's "Ave Maria", Barber's "Agnus Dei" and Offenbach's "Barcarolle". Slightly less predictable are their versions of "Sancta Maria" (from Pietro Mascagni's one act opera Cavelleria Rusticana) and "Salve Regina" (from Pachelbel's Canon In D). Manufactured they may be, but All Angels nonetheless provide an authentic listening experience. --Danny McKenna Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Spice Angels`All Angels', released in November 2006 is the first of a five album deal which the group signed with the Universal Classics and Jazz label. The album reached number 9 in the UK Music charts, was nominated for `Album of the Year' at the Classical BRIT Awards in 2007 (beaten by Sir Paul McCartney's `Ecce Cor Meum') and eventually won a platinum disc. Of the 13 tracks on this album around half are classical/opera, the rest are contemporary and traditional. The classics are familiar ones, which will appeal to those who have little experience of classical music, and the contemporary choices are unexpected ones such as the Robbie Williams hit `Angels', which sounds lovely when given the `Angels treatment'. The traditionals are ...

As for the cd, well, we can all argue about which tracks we like and which tracks they should have ( not ) done - we all have our favourites - but you can only admire the way they have interpreted the songs, and I truly believe they offer something new to them - buy the album, if only for the four final notes of "Songbird". If, after listening to their music, you still don't like it, then I suggest you upgrade your hifi. And another thing : ...

Some songs are edging towards pop rather than classical but every song has a very large vocal range! Their harmonys are incredible and extremely relaxing. I recomend 'Ave Verum Corpus' and 'Salve Regina'. If you're into choral music the two tracks i mentioned are perfect! Rating: - Angelical MusicRemembering how I found these musical angels: I downloaded World's Best Mum of Napster (for my mum :D) and came across the song "Angels" - hmm I thought "a cover of Robbie Williams"? I listened and fell in love with the voices of these four young singers. This type of music is not what I usually listen to but their music is very relaxing and I prefer their version of "Angels" now. :-) Pop meets Classical and vice versa. This album has something within. Enjoy it with a nice hot drink on a rainy day, or when life has got you down. Mostly easy listening and with heavenly vocals - I recommend this album. |
