Katherine Jenkins – Serenade

Katherine Jenkins – Serenade

Serenade showcases the rich, expressive voice of Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins across a varied programme of classical favourites, opera arias, traditional songs and contemporary crossover material. Originally released in 2006, the album combines familiar melodies with Jenkins' polished classical-crossover style, making it an accessible collection for both classical listeners and fans of contemporary vocal music.

The album opens with Sara Per Te [I Do It For You], Jenkins' Italian-language interpretation of the Bryan Adams hit, before moving through a selection of beloved classical and operatic repertoire. Highlights include Ennio Morricone's haunting Nella Fantasia, Chanson Boheme from Bizet's Carmen, Puccini's beautiful O Mio Babbino Caro and the romantic standard Be My Love. Jenkins' ability to move between opera, classical song and popular repertoire is central to the album's appeal.

There is also a strong selection of instantly recognisable favourites, including The Flower Duet, Pachelbel's Canon, Granada, The Prayer and Ave Maria. Green Green Grass Of Home provides a distinctive crossover moment, while Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind and Il Canto add further variety to the programme.

For fans of Katherine Jenkins, classical crossover, opera, mezzo-soprano vocals and contemporary classical music, Serenade is an elegant and accessible collection. Its mixture of famous arias, classical standards, sacred music and popular songs makes it particularly appealing to listeners looking for a melodic vocal album with broad crossover appeal.
