If you can appreciate a beautiful singing and love Sarah Brightman, Hayley Westenra, Jackie Ivancho or Katherin Jenkins then this album is just what you need. Origen's music is attempt to represent classical masterpieces in a way that most ordinary people can understand regardless they love or not classical music. Earlier Alexsey Zakharenko, the founder of Origen, played in hard rock band and classical music was something exotic for him. But as time went by he began to see the beauty of the classical music. In the end of 90's the Zakharenko wrote some songs for young singer of Ukrainian National Opera House Milana (Tanya Lubimenko) and later produced her debut album "They Beat a Women" (available on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MXP7TY) Zakharenko was amazed by Tanya talent and ethereal voice and invited her to a creative collaboration that has been going on for 15 years. The results of this cooperation are the albums "Ave Maria", "New Age Opera", "Solveig's Song " and "Two Steps From Heaven". Unlike Jackie Ivancho and early Charlotte Church, with their children and still undelivered voices, or Sarah Brightman and Hayley Westenra who are actually pop singers but sometimes they try to look like opera divas, Tanya is professionally trained singer of Ukrainian National Opera House , though according to the conception of Origen she sings in a crossover of classical and pop vocal styles. Therefore, having heard this album you have the unique opportunity to know who is better: pop stars singing like opera divas or opera diva singing like pop stars. This is the third extanded edition of "Ave Maria". The album features four new songs that were not on the first edition. These are "Variations on a Theme by Salieri", "Ombra Mai Fu" and "Lascia Ch'io Pianga" by Handel and Pachelbel's Canon in D._____ TRACK LIST - Click on and expand product image #3 to see full track list
