Cinema Paradiso

Cinema has given us some of the greatest melodies ever written—and here they get the treatment they deserve. Accompanied by beautiful, lush new orchestral arrangements, Katherine Jenkins is in her element. Alongside such timeless numbers as “West Side Story (Somewhere/Tonight)” and “Danny Boy” (as heard in Memphis Belle), Jenkins soars in beautiful reinventions of classic soundtracks. John Williams’ theme from Schindler’s List becomes a stunning, wordless vocalise while “Here’s to the Heroes” sets moving words to John Barry’s sweeping main theme from Dances With Wolves. This is the familiar heard anew, and each track is spine-tingling—but the title track, one of several heart-rending duets, will leave you in pieces.
