Jackie Evancho created a sensation at age 10 when she sang lush classical-crossover compositions on NBC’s America’s Got Talent. In this, her 3rd studio album, her voice is dazzling. She extends her stylistic reach with folk song, “The Rains of Castamere” from Game of Thrones, an ethereal ballad, “Memories” by the Dutch symphonic metal band, Within Temptation, “Think of Me” from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, U2’s “With or Without You,” and original songs including the anthem “Take Me There” and “Open Fields of Grace.” Classical standards include Caccini/Vavilov’s “Ave Maria” and Rachmaninoff’s gorgeous “Vocalise.” Her voice has qualities of mystery, beauty, fantasy and wonderment; the arrangements complement it. It’s a calming, uplifting CD.
1. Think of Me (Phantom of the Opera) (4:06). Peaceful.
2. Your Love (Ennio Morricone) (3:42). Piercing yet ethereal.
3. Je T’aime (Rick Allison, Lara Fabian) (4:55). Emotional. Her full range is heard.
4. Take Me There (Johan Oberholzer) (4:15). Subtle.
5. Open Fields of Grace (Venkatrathnam/Sumares) (3:38). A song of faith. Mysterious.
6. Ave Maria (Caccini/Vavilov) (4:50). 200 year-old hymn.
7. Memories (Dutch symphonic metal band, Within Temptation) (3:50)
8. The Rains of Casamere (Game of Thrones) (3:36)
9. Dormi Jesu (traditional) (3:25)
10. Vocalise (Rachmaninoff) (5:06). Haunting.
11. With or Without You (U2) (4:23). Nails the spirit of the lyrics. Powerful.
12. Made to Dream (Steyn) (3:48)
