Title: Worst vocal release that I've ever bought
Review: This recording comes as a great disappointment. After all those good things that I've heard about Russell Watson, I'm shocked to discover that this poorly sung album is actually the worst vocal release that I've ever bought!Russell Watson doesn't have a beautiful voice at all. On the contrary, his voice is small in size, limited in range and abrasive sounding. He has little breath control and has to cut the phrases brutally to suit his limited technique.Watson also has no eye for detail, for the many subtle elements of the music and text elude him totally. In treating the vocal lines as mere tunes, he reduces some great music into mere melodies for a crude hour of karaoke.His performances are utterly charmless. I've never encountered a more uncommunicative singing before whether live or on recordings.All in all, an appalling release of little music value.
