Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Following on from the heady success of albums like Premiere, Second Nature and Living A Dream, Welsh mezzos-oprano and sometime fashion model and music teacher Katherine Jenkins now presents her fourth collection of classically-rendered hymns, arias and pop classics. Serenade seems an understated title for someone with such a soaring voice and dynamic range, yet fans will know Jenkins is more than capable of balancing her operatic cartwheels with moments of real tenderness. This is evidenced immediately on the album's opening track, an elegant version of Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You", sung in Italian with Adams himself featured on guitar. The same undulations of quietude and drama unfold throughout the rest of the LP as Jenkins recreates timeless classics such as "Dear Lord And Father", "Lisa Lan", "Chance In A Lifetime" and "O Mio Babbino Caro" with characteristic grace and aplomb. --Danny McKenna Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Not Just Another Pretty FaceI will admit that when I first saw the track listing for this CD, I felt disappointed. "Come on!" I thought, "Katherine should be more original than this! Practically every soprano records 'O Mio Babbino Caro' at one point or another, and here are two common songs from the classical crossover genre, 'Nella Fantasia' and 'The Prayer'. Should I even invest in something that will only be a re-hash of things I have already heard many times?" In the end however, I decided that even with the unimaginative song selections, I would buy this CD. I am very glad I did! There are so many gems here that I now consider this Katherine's best album. Surprisingly, "Nella Fantasia" instantly became a favorite of mine. Her rich, warm tones really ...

Rating:  - RubbishPlease dont buy this rubbish This woman is NOT AN OPERA SINGER but a pop singer. If you want to listen to a real mezzo try Bartoli or Janet Baker dont waste your time with this Rating: - Fantastic KatherineI like to say Katherine is the most beautiful and super hot woman in the music today.Anyone who got her gorgeous DVDs and seen her beautifukl photographs will know this is true. Last year I seen Katherine in TV program which showed in Holland where I living.I immediate cannot look away from TV and Katherine is so incredible beautiful. She wearing gorgeous dress which show her cleavage most good and she got the incredible smile and the incredible eyes. I say to myself, my goodness this is the most beautiful woman I ever see. Katherine so sexy and hot and I thank God for England and I wish Holland got the beautiful woman like Katherine. When Katherine smiles my heart skips the beat and it bring joy to my heart that such beautiful woman be in the ...

Just like her previous albums this too enjoyed huge commercial success, reaching No. 1 in the classical charts, and in its first week of release sold 50,000 copies making it the fastest selling classical CD in the UK. But these are just sales figures, which reflect only the popularity of an artist, so what of the selection of songs for this release? The general theme of the last three albums has been retained - a selection of opera, classical, popular and traditional music, and while such diverse range of music will inevitably mean some listeners find something they don't like, it ...
