The Ultimate Collection

The Ultimate CollectionThe world's favourite mezzo-soprano finally receives the best-of treatment with this collection of her most cherished recordings. From the crossovers of Cohen's 'Hallelujah' to the straight operatic conventions of Puccini's 'O Mio Babbino Caro', Jenkins proves that she is nothing if not versatile. Her lengthy career has also seen such highlights as a version of 'Time To Say Goodbye' (originally made famous by AndreaBocelli and Sarah Brightman) and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Music Of The Night', from his 'Phantom Of The Opera' musical. Throughout this collection, it is Jenkins' maturity beyond her years that impresses most in performance.
