Bach: Goldberg Variations
from: Telarc
: : This is destined to be one of the best-remembered and significant classical releases of 2007. Simone (pronounced 'See-mo-nuh') Dinnerstein has recently been attracting lots of media attention, from Oprah's magazine to The New York Times.

One might call this a crossover disc; others might just see it as a recording featuring a pop singer with artsy aspirations. Whatever it is, Brightman's fans love her; others ...

Yet the singing of these Spanish Benedictines has a special quality that probably explains this ...
