Church: Live from Cardiff
Charlotte Church, accompanied by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, performs before a hometown audience in Cardiff, Wales, at the renowned St. David's Hall, one of the finest concert halls in the world. The young singer brings her unique touch to an eclectic mix of Broadway hits and contemporary ballads. Her solo performances are punctuated with several duets, including 'Tonight' and 'Somewhere' from West Side Story, with Josh Grobman. Flamenco guitarist Jesse Cook joins her onstage for a powerful rendition of 'Habanera' from Carmen. The concert was taped Sept. 18, 2001. Church moves the house to tears with John Lennon's 'Imagine,' a tribute to the victims of the terrorist attacks on the United States, followed by 'Amazing Grace.'
