Beautiful Music; I'm Finally an Opera Fan!.......2003-11-01

This is simply one of the most awesome albums I have ever heard!
I am not normally an Opera fan, but the stirring voice of Emma Shapplin mixed with a contemporary pop beat and a beautiful chorus in the background has enlightened me to a new art form.

This album also seems to have been cut live and the applauase is clearly warm and spontaneous, not artificial as the last reviewer surmises. Buy this alum and you will fall in love..with Emma...with opera..with life.

Not sure if this is actually live?.......2003-10-17

Ok, this is a difficult one to review.
The original album, 'Carmine Meo' is a stunning, beautiful, and atmospheric album. Emmas voice is beautiful, and the music is stunning!
Which brings me on to this cd...

Emma's voice is amazing! But I am NOT convinced she is singing live? Her vocals are identical to the album version!
The music is live though, and adds perhaps at most brings the orginal album back to life, as it is slightly re-arranged.
The tracks are interspersed with applause, ust about creating some additonal atmosphere - but it all feels a bit 'fake'.
The albums best track, 'Spente le Stelle' is repeated twice within 8 songs? The latter version has the sounds of firewrks over it, which I am sure was exciting to see.

The final 3 songs - again, an oddity. I am SURE they are not live! They are simply 3 additional tracks that Emma recorded for the 'Atylantos' album which she was due to record before she fell out with Jean-Patrick Capdevielle, so I think they have simply added them to the end.
There is also a DVD version of this cd, which doesnt include the final 3 songs, backing up my theory.

So... a difficult album to rate.
If you LOVE 'Carmine Meo', and are desperate for new Emma material, then by all means get this, but dont expect too much. There is 1 new track, 'Alleluia', but you can'tr really hear Emmas voice, and its not an Emma 'sounding' track - I think its Handel, so the style is very different.

If you havent got Carmine Meo, then get that.

I feel this is an attempt by Jean-Patrick Capdevielle to make extra cash out of Emma Shapplin as she is no longer with the record company.
