Andrea Plamondon |
||
A beautifully lyricized movie theme inspires a stunning new rendition by award-winning soprano Andrea Plamondon. Her voice has garnered a growing international fan base that appreciates her more personal interpretation of the work.

Andrea Plamondon summons ten years of voice training and a degree in poetics to serve an obviously and innately gifted talent for opera. While there have been several high-profile renditions of Ennio Ennicone's 'Gabriel's Oboe' (the Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe-winning theme to the movie 'The Mission'), it came alive in a different way when it was given words and renamed 'Nella Fantasia' by famed Broadway star Sarah Brightman, who repeatedly wrote the recalcitrant composer until he relented to this desire. Plamondom has undertaken her own interpretation of the work and the result is vaulting, light as a leaf, and softened by special energies emerging from her more distant relationship to the man - the role of the imagination was more crucial to this reproduction and the result correspondingly more affective. 'In my fantasy exists a warming wind' the song relates, and Plamondon had that very effect on the work. Reporter Blake Wright recently caught up with this fascinating artist to discuss historical matters of her career and the fast-rising profile of her work. BLAKE: When When did you first discover your love of music? BLAKE: Your song ‘Nella Fantasia’ is receiving a strong listener response on radio. What was your initial reaction when you first heard it played? BLAKE: What was the inspiration behind your debut radio single? BLAKE: Would you say that the mood of your other songs is in the same vein as ‘Nella Fantasia’? BLAKE: How would you characterize yourself as an artist? |
