Pure beauty.......2005-09-06
The result: "Pure," an album that is reminiscent of early Sarah Brightman, back when she did folk songs and showtunes. Westenra sticks close to her classical sound with songs like the delicate "In Trutina" and the traditional New Zealand song "Pokarekare Ana," which is rendered with the backing of a a rather muddled male chorus and some swelling strings.
However, Westenra doesn't neglect more modern songs, and she does well in classical pop as well as straightforward classical. The big difference seems to be a bit of synth and a delicate guitar melody, in songs like the charming "Beat of Your Heart" and dreamy "Why Painted the Moon Black?" It's a smooth, thoroughly sweet crossover effect.
Westenra also eschews the usual round of classical-pop songs, like "Nella Fantasia." I love that song, but it's been done so many times. Instead, she opts for Maori lullabies, Vivaldi ballads, the neglected "Mummer's Dance" and the orchestral cathedral grandeur of "Benedictus." She even covers Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights," adding a modern feel to the finale.
That is not to say that every choice is an excellent one. "Wuthering Heights" has Westenra trying to sound more Bush-ian, while "Amazing Grace" is too simple vocally. Aside from those, her choices of song are excellent -- rich, uplifting and beautiful, and backed by a wide range of orchestral musicians, especially the strings.
There is also an accompanying EP, in which Westenra covers four Christmas ballads, and does them all justice. Her vocals are well suited to the dignified lyrics of songs like "The Mummer's Dance" and "Silent Night," although a bit less for the still-lovely "Mary Did You Know" and "Away in a Manger."
Her vocals themselves are not operatic, but they are strong, clear and sweet, without pretensions or dramatic flourishes. The effect is stunning, more given to magic and sweetness than to keeping to classical standards. Since this was recorded when Westenra was only sixteen, one wonders how good she'll be in ten years.
Despite comparisons to Charlotte Church, Hayley Westenra is more like Sarah Brightman -- a sweet-voiced singer, straddling the fence between classical and pop. An enchanting experience.
WHAT A GIFT!.......2004-12-20

Donna De Lory drew inspiration for her enchanting and ethereal pop CD Bliss from a deep well. Having grown up in an intensely creative environment--her father, Al De Lory, is a musician and record producer who has worked with the Beach Boys and Phil Spector, and her mother is a dancer and singer--it's not surprising that she would blossom into an artist in her own right. What is pleasantly surprising, though, is that De Lory should produce such a mature and accomplished work as her debut independent release. Bliss begins with "On and On," a life-affirming song that is right at home both musically and lyrically with Madonna's recent Eastern-influenced music. The best track in the set may be "A Woman's Pride," recalling Kate Bush with its funky, rolling rhythm and intoxicating, vulnerable-yet-strong vocal performance. De Lory and company gently bring us back to earth with the intimate vocal and cello interplay on their interpretation of "Amazing Grace," deftly capturing the sentiment and the essence of this timeless song. Cameron Stone's fluid, penetrating work on cello and bass is an integral part of the musical setting, which includes guitar, keyboards, percussion, and De Lory's own harmonium playing--the music serves De Lory's stunning voice to perfection. --Michael WellsAlbum Description
Well-known as one of Madonna's longtime featured vocalist, Donna De Lory has written, produced and independently distributed her newest album, Bliss. Donna and her musical partner cellist, Cameron Stone came from wildly varying backgrounds to forge a common bond in their love of music. For Donna, music was ingrained in her soul literally before her birth in Malibu Canyon, CA. Her grandfather played upright bass and cello for the Warner Bros.Studio Orchestra, her father was a studio musician and producer for people like The Beach Boys,Phil Spector and Glen Campbell, and her mother a singer/dancer. Donna was formerly signed with MCA Records as a solo artist in 1993, where her self-titled debut spawned a number-one hit in Japan and a top 10 song on the Billboard dance charts. In 1994, after finishing a world tour with Madonna, she hooked up with now partner Cameron Stone and created the music for BLISS. BAND_MEMBERS: The current band includes Cameron Stone (Tracy Chapman, Jewel) on cello and guitar, bassist, Mark Browne (Melissa Etheridge), Donna De Lory playing harmonium, werlitzer & percussion and drummers, Jay Bellerose (Paula Cole)and Quinn.Customer Reviews:

Beyond Bliss.......2001-05-31
Donna's voice is instantly recognisable and immensely unforgetable. Anyone with a passing interest in popular culture will know of her Madonna connection of many years. Buy this CD and see how Donna has transcended the Material Girls's world of throw -away pop to create a blissful masterpiece.

Customer Reviews:
Lots of good string music for a low Naxos price.......2005-05-24
Most of this music was new to me, and I did not know what to expect (quite honestly I didn't have high expectations). But after hearing Elgar's "Sospiri" on the radio I thought I would give it a try. I found the rest of the cd also quite good; especially Vaughan Williams's "Charterhouse Suite" which, along with "Sospiri" and Haydn Wood's "Fantasy Concerto", are my favorite compositions from this recording.
Conductor David Lloyd Jones knows this territory well and brings out the best in these English compositions. Also, the recording seems very clear and well balanced.
People seem so curious about what to put in their diets to live longer and be more healthy. How about more string music in your mental diet for becoming more tender, patient, and even romantic in your ways? And for other forms of international string cuisine, try Naxos #553106 for some Scandinavian string music (Grieg's "Holberg Suite" is one of my favorite piecies of all time!).
A worthy follow up to last year's first volume..........2001-04-03
Some of the items here are more familiar than most of those found on the first disc - Elgar's yearning "Sospiri" tugs at the heart strings everytime. And the present works of Delius and Warlock have been recorded many times. But there is plenty of less frequently heard items as well - Ireland's "The Holy Boy", Geoffrey Bush's "Consort Music", and Haydn Wood's Fantasy-Concerto were all delightful new discoveries for me.
We're even treated to Ralph Vaughan Williams' "Charterhouse Suite" - a nice change from the "Fantasia on Greensleeves" which seems to find its way onto every "classics for relaxation" or "meditation" CD out there.
The all digital recording is beautifully balanced. The strings are rich and clear. Almost 70 minutes of pleasure. Another excellent release from Naxos. (Pick up volume 1 as well if you don't have it already.)
