Wonderful News

So, as I mentioned before, I was having some trouble with the Web 2.0 application Idiomag. After contacting the website, they promptly replied and everything was worked out. Now I finally have some articles and media to look at! One of the first articles I received was a review for the newest recordings from opera singer Natasha Marsh. The article, written by Charlotte Gardner, analyzes Ms. Marsh's new CD and compares it to her debut CD entitled Amour.
Gardner believes that Ms. Marsh does have a lovely voice, but that it lacks any sort of depth to make her music truly special. Also, Gardner is not impressed by the fact Marsh re-recorded five songs that appeared on her debut CD. Gardner does recognize that Marsh has made quite an impression on European classical music listeners. Also, she does believe that Marsh has a great amount of talent. However, Gardner feels the music, overall, has been tampered with, not necessarily by Marsh, but perhaps by the producers.
I went and took a listen to Marsh's new CD. Overall, I would say that it is a nice collection of classic arias and compositions. Personally, I enjoy listening to singers who have a bit more body to their voice, but Marsh does have a well trained instrument. She is definitely someone I can see becoming a much bigger star in the future. Perhaps she will even make an impact in the United States' music scene!
