Voices 8: 17 of the Most Beautiful Voices in the World

Compilation albums can be terrible like a skatterbrained buffet but I like Universal's "Voices" series.



Various artists (Universal)



The eighth of Universal's crossover compilation series brings more of the best from a variety of genres.



Seventeen of the most unforgettable singers of our time sing beloved songs from operas, pop music and musicals: Andrew Lloyd Webber's ``Pie Jesu'' by the young artist Charlotte Church, Celine Dion's ``My Heart Will Go On'' sung by Vittorio Grigolo, who is also known as ``Little Pavarotti,'' and ``Nessun Dorma'' (from Puccini's opera ``Turandot'') by Luciano Pavarotti himself.

Also included is Simon and Garfunkle's ``Bridge Over Troubled Water'' by the soulful Russel Watson, Edith Piaf's ``La Vien en rose'' by musical star Ute Lemper and ``Amigos Para Siemper'' by Sarah Brightman and Jose Carreras.
