Charlotte Church in Jerusalem continues the pilgrimage begun in her 2000 Christmas video, Dream a Dream: Charlotte Church in the Holy Land. Here the Welsh singing sensation performs a live concert from the Tower of David in Jerusalem. While no longer a 12-year-old cherub, the teenage Church retains her youthful giddiness as she breathlessly introduces numerous songs from her recording career--Parry's "Jerusalem", Puccini's "O Mio Babbino Caro", Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu" (in a duet with Marina Blumen), and the appropriate closer, Stephen Adams' "The Holy City". Uri Miles ("the only Uillean piper in Israel") accompanies "Last Rose of Summer" and the Cantus Choir backs up "The Lord's Prayer" and "Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer". Conductor Julian Smith and the Ra'anana Symphonette Orchestra perform brief orchestral interludes from Carmen and Cavalleria Rusticana, during which Church is shown rehearsing and preparing for the concert (in fast motion), then visiting various parts of the city. In fine voice, Church is always respectful, even reverential of her surroundings, and the concert setting, with the stone walls lit against the night sky, is nothing less than stunning. --David Horiuchi, Amazon.com
