Emma Shapplin - The Very Best

Review by David Cantu

Emma Shapplin's album The Very Best is a stunning collection of her greatest hits. The French soprano's ethereal voice is showcased in each of the 14 tracks, which include some of her most popular songs like "Spente Le Stelle" and "La Notte Etterna." The album also features previously unreleased tracks and remixes, providing a fresh take on her music.

The orchestral arrangements on the album are beautifully crafted, adding a cinematic quality to the songs. The use of electronic beats and synths also gives the music a modern edge. Shapplin's vocals are hauntingly beautiful, conveying a range of emotions from melancholy to passion.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Vedi, Maria," a haunting ballad that showcases Shapplin's vocal range and emotional depth. Another highlight is "Nessun Dorma," a stunning rendition of the famous aria from Puccini's Turandot.
