Bryn Terfel Dreams And Songs CD

After five years, Sir Bryn Terfel is back with his eagerly-anticipated new studio album 'Dreams and Songs'. It's a collection of his favourite tunes, recorded in brand new orchestral versions and including some special guest duets.

Acclaimed worldwide for tackling the biggest opera roles, Sir Bryn's new album shows his lighter side with popular concert pieces, traditional Welsh songs, musical hits and entertaining encores.

Among the pieces on his new album are 'If I Were A Rich Man' from Fiddler on the Roof, Welsh folk song 'Ar Lan y Môr', Irish ballad 'The Fields of Athenry' and one of his party pieces, 'The Golfer's Lament'.

A star-studded new album from Sir Bryn Terfel featuring Dame Emma Thompson, Rob Brydon, Joseph Calleja and Katherine Jenkins.

Includes a world premiere recording of "The Shepherd Poet Of Passchendaele," written especially for Bryn by Sir Karl Jenkins, the most performed living composer.
