Of course, we couldnt expect time to freeze its relentless path and forever preserve the welsh sensation charlotte church in a chrysalis of precocious youth. and yet, at 15 and now taking bolder steps into expanding her repertory on enchantment , the soprano remains a marvel of a prodigy. here, she scours a wider range of sources than on her previous albums. church moves with breathtaking ease from classic broadway ( west side story , show boat , south pacific ) to traditional celtic, film ballads, and even a couple of high-operatic numbers. churchs straightforward approach to the melody of la habanera may not exactly be what bizet had in mind for his carmen, but fans will get double pleasure out of the singers exquisite duet with herself on the haunting flower duet from delibess lakmé . whats more, theres a greater freedom of expression and sense of how to shape a phrase in many of these tracks--notice how much there is to savor, for instance, in the water is wide and carrickfergus. it all adds up to a widely varied course, demonstrating the continued growth of a singularly gifted young artist. --sarah chin
