CD review - Alfie Boe: Alfie (Decca)
YOU have to hand it to most people’s favourite tenor Alfie Boe: the man has taste.
This new collection simply couldn’t have lovelier songs from West Side Story’s Maria to The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, from When You Wish Upon A Star to Music Of The Night.
The singing is as you would expect immaculate while the production knows to take a back seat to the voice.
With special guest stars Robert Plant and Michael Ball and with a nice version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas to wind up it really does have it all.
Verdict: 4/5
