Rainbows by Katherine Stone

Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins is a celebrated performer, who emerged in the early 2000s as Britain's all-time best-selling classical artist of the past 25 years. Blessed with a warm voice and charismatic stage presence, Jenkins achieved wide recognition in 2003 after performing at Westminster Cathedral during Pope John Paul II's silver jubilee. Buoyed by that appearance, her 2004 debut, Premiere, hit number one on the U.K. Classical Album Chart. She has enjoyed both critical and commercial success since, with six of her albums reaching the top of the U.K. classical charts. Two of those albums, 2004's Second Nature, and 2005's Living a Dream, also took home the Classic Brit Award for Album of the Year.
