Mezzo soprano Katherine Jenkins finds star quality in music
Mezzo soprano Katherine Jenkins explores familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Known to millions, mezzo soprano Katherine Jenkins has forged a unique musical path, from headlining at international sporting events and for dignitaries around the world, to starring in Rodgers & Hammerstein鈥檚 Carousel at the London Coliseum. Bridging the worlds of classical and pop, the multi-award-winning singer has released no fewer than fourteen No. 1 Albums to date, and in July of this year became a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music.
In today鈥檚 Inside Music, Katherine brings a new perspective to celebrated favourites, whilst also uncovering the joys of less familiar works. She takes a peek into the choral sound world of Roxanna Panufnik, celebrates the vocal power and magnetism of Maria Callas, and enjoys the enduring allure of Joaqu铆n Rodrigo鈥檚 writing for guitar.
Katherine also shares a favourite song from her native Wales.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
