Rating:  - Beautiful!
This has always been my favorite Charlotte Church CD. Her voice is at it's sweetest and best in this album. However, I can't say much for the title song, "Dream a Dream." It didn't fit in with the whole Christmas theme, and Billy Gilman--well, I've never liked him much.It makes me laugh to hear people talk about how "shaky" Miss Church's voice has become. COME ON, doesn't anyone know the meaning of vibrato anymore? My favorite is probably "Draw Tua Bethlehem" which is the only Welsh song on the album. There's just something about it... The only song I wish they had thought of for this CD is "I wonder as I wander." It's not a very well-known song, but incredibly beautiful.
Rating: - A World Class Performance, Charlotte at her best!!
When one thinks of Charlotte Church one also thinks of the opening lyrics to the ancient and much revered Greensleeves,--"What Child is This?" Who is this young lady? Simply put, Ms Church is the finest teenage soprano in the world and Greensleeves (What Child is This?) is one of the songs included on her latest album, "Dream a Dream", released on October 21, 2000 by Sony Classical and soon to be certified Gold perhaps breaking all previous sales records. "Dream a Dream" is the astonishing follow up to her previous two albums "Voice of an Angel" now certified double Platinum by Sony Classical and the self titled Gold album "Charlotte Church." Truly, the sweetest teenage voice on the planet, it's difficult to believe this young lady is only fourteen. Ms Church continues her tradition for excellence with this latest release. More than just another Christmas album, "Dream a Dream" is a mixture of the ancient and new, spiritual and contemporary, Pop and traditional. Ms Church's crystalline pure voice accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra carries one to heavenly heights with the greatest of ease. It's real delight to listen to this latest work by Ms Church and it will be one I'll be listening to long after the passing of the Season of Christ. My favorite's on the album include these moments: Rhodri Davies' harp accompaniment on the beautiful Ave Maria is one of the finest ever heard, this pairing of harp and voice is nothing short of one of the finest moments in music history. Charlotte's "child like voice" in O Tannenbaum conjures forth images of Christmas settled and celebrated around the Christmas Tree by millions of children around the world. The only all a cappella song on the album is "Lo! How A Rose E'er Blooming". Dating from the late 1500's it is the most regal of all the spiritual songs on the album. Dream a Dream is Ms Church's first step into the season of Pop and is superlatively performed. What else are we going to see from this very versatile young lady in the way of Pop? The full orchestral backup of "O Come, All Ye Faithful" truly expresses the spirit of the season. "Draw Tua Bethlehem", a Welsh hymn of praise, is expertly carried by Ms Church in Welsh and English and sets one on a journey of hope. Not only does this album express the measure of the season but it gives us an insight into the sophistication of voice and value of this very beautiful young lady. The album is beyond the land, lore and love of Charlotte's Welsh citizenship, it speaks to millions throughout the world of all languages and cultures.
Rating:  - Great voice but...
I personally feel that this album is much better than her previous albums---"Voice Of An Angel" and "Charlotte Church". Charlotte Church does have a beautiful voice... Clear and sweet... But to me her voice is not yet the opera-type of voice ... She still need lots of practice. If you want real opera voice, try C. Bartoli or other more mature and properly- trained singers. Charlotte Church is still young and her vibrato is still uneven, especially on all those high-notes. I agree with most people that her voice quality is still of a boy soprano. The recording of the songs in this album are not of great quality... Charlotte Church sounds most of time... Muffled. However, songs like "Silent Night" and "The Little Drummer Boy" did turn out quite well on this album. These songs did bring out the good side of her singing. On the whole this album sounds boring... Irritating sometimes, especially when she sing those high-notes in "Ding Dong! Merrily on High"... They just come out suddenly and give me a great shock! If you want Christmas album, do not buy this one... But if you want to hear the voice of this young "opera" singer, buy it... Her voice is not great buy still enjoyable.2 stars--- 1 for her sweet voice and 1 for songs like "Dream A Dream". 3 un-starts--- 1 more her un-opera voice, 1 for screaming for some of her songs and 1 for the bad recording!
