Often
the expression 'ultimate' can seem a little ambitious, but in Russell
Watson's case it is the only word that describes the scale of this
young tenor's achievements.
The Ultimate Collection DVD presents
the cream of his filmed stage appearances. On this DVD are the songs
that took Russell from obscurity on the club circuit of north-west
England to international stardom.
Manchester United chairman
Martin Edwards was the first to spot Russell's unique talent when, in
1999, he invited him to perform at the club's Old Trafford ground. For
many people this would be their ultimate experience - for Russell it
was only one of many more to come.
Multiple performances at
Wembley Stadium, singing with Pavarotti to over 70,000 at London's Hyde
Park, performing to over five million people in the Independence Day
celebrations at The White House and performing in his home town of
Manchester for the opening of the Commonwealth Games (to 1 billion TV
viewers) - just four of Russell's ultimate experiences.
Alongside
were his sell-out solo concerts, spanning the world. Leeds' Millennium
Square saw Russell's triumphant broadcast debut in 2001. Just months
later, America witnessed 'The Voice' for the first time, relayed from
Donald Trump's Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. Early the following year,
across another ocean (via the QE2), Russell appeared before a massed
open-air audience in Auckland, New Zealand. In just nine months,
Russell's extraordinary talent had encircled the globe, and this DVD
captures the ultimate moments from these ground-breaking occasions.
Away
from the stage Russell's achievements are no less impressive. He
performed the title track for the Nicolas Cage movie Captain Corelli's
Mandolin and the theme music for the Star Trek: Enterprise series (the
music videos created for these projects are included here).
But
it's Russell's record on the disc that guarantees his status as the
ultimate tenor. All of Russell's albums have achieved Gold, Platinum
and Double Platinum status. His debut album The Voice broke all records
by spending one year at the top of the UK classical chart.
But his success is not confined to the classical world: his second album
Encore 10 weeks in the pop chart Top 10. His third, Reprise, produced a Top 10 hit single.
Russell's
many achievements can be encapsulated in the one remarkable fact that
this young man from Salford, with no more ambition than to sing the
songs he loves, was recently declared one of the UK's biggest-selling
artists of the 21st century, eclipsing even Madonna.
Both in sight and sound, truly the Ultimate Collection from the ultimate singer.
