A wonderful piece I heardrecently.
Giorgia’s voice is gorgeous . Giorgia is an Italian- Canadian soprano and a cross-over singer who is ranked in the same category as Enya, Sarah Brightman, and Andrea Bocelli. Her singing career is still rather fresh with thefirst album released in 2004. 本帖最后由 estoy1 于 2010-5-10 11:48 编辑
Espiritu - Thomas Otten
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AJ5nPv3G6o
Thomas Otten is the original singer of this song, composed by Federic Momont .
Classically trained since childhood,Otten’s voice surprisingly did not break as thoroughly as usual upon reaching adolescence, therefore retaining a high contralto range.
It’smagnificant , it’s beautiful, it’s divine. Sooooooo nice songs. I will listen carefully and repeatedly then I will respond to your thread. Have a nice long weekend!:) Sooooooo nice songs. I will listen carefully and repeatedly then I will respond to your thread. Have a nice long weekend!:)

I searched some information about Giorgia Fumanti. She is a recently active singer who is famous worldwide. Jan. 18, 2008, she sang with Chinese singer Wei Wei in Vancouver, Canada. This performance was Broadcasted to an estimated audience of over 1 billion people.
Her voice is very beautiful with extreme lucidity, clearness and powerful penetrating force. Good music.:) About Thomas Otten, there is something amazing. He used to be a biologist. He abandoned that career and became a famous singer. Fabulous! I think the most specific aspect of his voice is higher frequencies. The higher-pitch voice makes him special and outstanding amongst the singers all over the world. Fantastic though.:)

On You Tube, one of the respances says:"I accidentally stumbled upon Giorgia's album about a year and a half ago. I love to listen to great female vocals. Big fan of Brightman and such, but this one absolutely took my breath away! I loved it so much I bought two albums one for me and one for my dad's birthday. Giorgia I love your voice. I'm your biggest South African fan." I searched some information about Giorgia Fumanti. She is a recently active singer who is famous worldwide.

It's such a delight to see 海船长's response.
While driving , this beautiful sound flowed through me. I couldn’t wait to post it as soon as I went home.
G Fumanti sounds like a song bird.
On the other hand, I am not a fan of Sarah Brightman at all eventhough some of her songs are not too bad,and G Fumanti sounds very similar, with a bit of ‘halo effect’ of Espiritu, Fumanti seems to impress memuch more.
I googled a little too, but wasn’tquite sure if anyone else here would like her song as much as I do , I then did not bother writing too much about her. Thanksfor adding on what you know. Feel free to postother songs of hers if you find pieces thatyou like. If ever I get around to it, I shall do that too.
I think what usually attracts me most to a piece of music is how it can charm in the first instance, obviously that includes many qualities : melody, voice, background music etc…
I can be a good listener, but not exactly an expert in analyzing music, depends on how much I do like a tune. And therefore , 海船长's presence is indispensable, and much appreciated . Thanks again. With your enthusiasm, no one would want to dismiss herselffrom sharing music with you. 本帖最后由 estoy1 于 2010-5-10 11:50 编辑
Thank you, you have chosen a lovely song. I like the title somehow. :)
Here's another love at first sound, no need for words:
Peace of Heaven

G. Fumanti - Aria from the Heart
本帖最后由 estoy1 于 2010-5-10 11:56 编辑Giorgia Fumanti - Singing for CCTV during Beijing Olympics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUoZCLPIbCQ Wow. Peace of Heaven. I would like to say Giorgia's voice is really the heavenly voice. You are right, her voice is different from Sarah B's. And I love Giorgia's performing style more, because she is singing with her whole body, whole heart and whole spirit. She appears like a graceful Princess. That's not easy. On the other hand, Sarah B always performs as a fairy lady or a witch-wise woman, revealing a sense of mystery, though. When we compare their voices per se, I would like to say that Giorgia's voice is brighter and richer than Sarah B's.:) It's such a delight to see 海船长's response.

Thank you very much for your valuable comments. Your good words for me are so encouraging, too. Nice.:p
回复：G. Fumanti - Aria from the Heart
I love this piece very much. This tune needs a broader band of voice frequency. But Giorgia did so well. Fantastic.:) 本帖最后由 estoy1 于 2010-5-10 12:00 编辑<Your Love ( Theme from Once Upon a Time in the West )> deserves honourable respect after listening to it with great attention. There is a version with excellent soundquality as you open her website
( http://www.giorgiafumanti.com/http://www.giorgiafumanti.comhttp://www.giorgiafumanti.com/http://www.giorgiafumanti.com ) . The music comes on non-stop right away. It must be one of Fumanti’spersonal theme song, absolutely flawless and heavenly, so touching and mesmerizing. She shows a strikingly high vocal range and dynamics in a dramatic arrangement. The song is composed by Italian maestro Ennio Morricone whosemost famous film scores include "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"; "The Untouchables"; "Cinema Paradiso"; "Once Upon a Time in America"; ( Nella Fantasia) "The Mission"; "Once Upon a Time in the West"; "A Fistful of Dollars"; "Sacco and Vanzetti"; "The Battle of Algiers" etc.Don’t miss this piece.

谢谢推荐，很喜欢，很优美，很甜，很温馨。属于New Age Clsasical吧，是巴洛克风格吧。
英文看得不太懂（莫笑），找来中文介绍，转贴如下：
艺人简介
拥有一副天籁般的声线的Thomas Otten，走上歌唱的历程略带偶然。年青时想成为生物学家的他，曾在会所里面演奏钢琴，为其他歌手伴奏。当他偶尔在几间酒吧客串开腔后，他的同僚终于说服他改弦易辙，正式成为一名歌者。受命运眷顾的他随年龄的增长而失去童声的高音，反而徒添了成人的厚实音域。他女高音式的男声，能轻而易举地扣动每一名听众地心弦。
为了进一步把女高音的优雅和男中音的浑厚完美结合，Thomas Otten不惜花费十年时间，刻苦研习从巴洛克音乐、格里高得圣歌到现代音乐的各种唱法。在曲作家Jeanne Joulain和Frederic Momont的鼎力协助下，这种本应只该天上有的美妙嗓音终于得以完美地呈现在我们面前。2000年Thomas Otten推出专辑《Close to Silence》,在全球引起极大凡响,高居古典新世纪音乐榜数周冠军。
在看见介绍之前，听见这首歌曲任谁都不敢相信这是一首由男性演唱的歌。实在太完美了，几乎没有一丝缺陷，无论音质还是唱腔，还是柔软处的转折，还是高亢时的激荡，嗓音总是处理得不温不火、游刃有余。称这样的嗓子为天籁之声几乎没有人会说不吧。
