NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Manhattan Records) - PBS is hosting a Musical Soiree at your place and everybody has a front row seat! On March 1, 2007 PBS stations nationwide will begin airing
Heavenly Voices, a new HD-TV live concert event filmed on November 7, 2006 at the historic Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center in Miami, Florida.
From Manhattan Records, the record company behind the Irish phenomenon "Celtic Woman" and the producers of "Tim Janis: Beautiful America", Heavenly Voices is a winning combination of breathtaking visual effects paired with a spectacular live concert performance of some of the most beloved songs of all time.
Heavenly Voices spotlights the soaring vocal artistry of Ryland Angel, Giorgia Fumanti, and Sasha & Shawna in a remarkable recital of intimate songs - "Amazing Grace," "Ave Maria," "When I Fall in Love," "The Way We Were" and Sting's "Fields of Gold" are just five gems - accompanied by the Tim Janis Ensemble. The impact of the live show is heightened by sumptuous film production and striking visuals framing each performance, filmed in locales native to each artist, from the hills of Tuscany to the valleys of Wales and Autumn in New England. Following its PBS premiere, Heavenly Voices will be released as a live DVD on Manhattan Records on March 6, 2007.
Ryland Angel, Giorgia Fumanti, and Sasha & Shawna's debut recordings on Manhattan Records will be released March 6, 2007 in tandem with the PBS broadcast.
With the release of his self-titled Manhattan Records debut Ryland Angel will be recognized as the leading countertenor of his generation, and one of the greatest ever. As a singer/songwriter, Ryland Angel is as conversant with the music of the Renaissance and Baroque eras as he is with the songs of James Taylor and James Blunt. His sound encompasses polyphonic harmonies set against acoustic and electronic flourishes and, above all, Ryland's extraordinary vocals. His countertenor possesses a purity that springs directly from ancient musical traditions.
The hallmarks of Giorgia Fumanti's voice are simplicity, strength and grace. Audiences across Europe, Asia and North America have been won over by the Italian-born soprano's live concert performances. Her upcoming album on Manhattan Records, From My Heart, was produced by Craig Leon, and recorded at London's Abbey Road Studios as well as Wisseloord Studios in Holland. From My Heart will surely vault Giorgia to global prominence.
Sasha Lazard and Shawna Stone share a passion for traditional opera. Sasha, a New Yorker, studied literature and voice at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music; Shawna, a Californian, studied voice at the University of Southern California on a full vocal scholarship. Fast forward to Siren, Sasha & Shawna's debut album for Manhattan Records. Produced by Grammy Award- winning producer Peter Asher, the twelve-song collection is the work of two singers with no vocal limits who have found a fresh, original approach to interpreting popular songs ranging from Radiohead's "Fade Out" and James Taylor's "Close Your Eyes" to "Dust in the Wind" and Secret Garden's "Sleep Song."
