Product Description

2010 collection of romantic favorites from the British vocalist. Over the last 10 years, Russell Watson has made a name for himself as one of the most outstanding tenors in the world.
 Never one to be pigeon-holed, he's often turned heads and confounded the critics, one minute releasing operatic-style recordings, the next undertaking duets with the likes of Manchester
favourites The Happy Monday's Shaun Rider.
 This collection, drawn from his increasingly large catalog of recordings features 20 of his unique takes on some of the finest love songs ever
written including 'When I Fall In Love', 'Try A Little Tenderness', 'Unforgettable' and 'Me & Mrs Jones'. Spectrum

. Whilst recording this record Russell received news that no one would want to hear, he was diagnosed as having a brain tumour. Despite this news, he kept it secret from everyone and soldiered on to complete the record.

To sum it up this record is quite simply a story of passion versus emotion and there really is only one possible title. That’s Life.

That’s Life charted at No. 4 in the UK in March 2007 and remained in the top 5 for 3 weeks. This was closely followed by a sold out 24 date UK tour.

Amore Musica": Released November 2004.
The Album was certified Gold in January 2005.

Russell Watson is back from an operation he had to remove a polyp from his vocal cords. The result is an even more emotionally resonant release than before, with Watson giving it his all on a selection of original numbers. The album features songs written by Diane Warren and Gary Barlow and a guest appearance by Lara Fabian, and sees him consolidate his position as one of the UK's biggest classical crossover stars.

He applies his charming, full-bodied tenor voice to an eclectic set of songs on 2005's AMORE MUSICA. While certain tracks fall squarely into the opera aesthetic, others are more pop-oriented, with Watson commanding attention regardless of the style, his sense of drama is perhaps best served by his renditions of compositions from the films GLADIATOR (the majestic "Il Gladiatore") and ROB ROY (the delicate "You'll Still Be There for Me)

The album entered the UK Classical Charts at No.1 and the main UK pop chart at No.10. Ronan  Hardiman composed the song 'La Fiamma Sacra' (The Sacred Flame) with lyrics by legendary lyricist Franks Musker (Zucchero,Queen,Air supply). 'La Fiamma Sacra' was produced by Simon Franglen (producer of 'My Heart Will Go On" ,by Celine Dion) and is a stand out track on the album-a dynamic powerful piece which tells the story of Watsons own rise to fame and fortune from humble beginnings .
