Russell Watson is the UK’s best selling classical artist and was the first artist to hold the number one slot simultaneously in the UK and USA in his respected genre.
Selling in excess of seven million albums worldwide, "The People's Tenor" Russell has performed for some of the most powerful people in the world including the Pope, the President of the United States, King of Malaysia, the Emperor of Japan and Her Majesty the Queen.
In the Queen's diamond jubilee year, with the Olympics on the horizon, Russell wanted to celebrate all things British with his new album ‘Anthems – Music To Inspire A Nation’.
A collection of considered, rousing, beautiful songs from around the country, sung deep from the heart, as only Russell can.
With stirring vocals Russell gives unique interpretations of sporting anthems ‘Proud’ and ‘Race to the End’ (theme from Chariots of Fire) alongside his epic take on the patriotic anthems of Scotland, England and Wales are all sung with enough verve to inspire a nation.
Russell’s duet performed with Dame Vera Lynn, using vocals from the original wartime recording when she was the forces sweetheart, will touch even the hardest of hearts. A guest appearance by the Fron Male Voice Choir on ‘Calon Lan’, and a tear jerking version of The Londonderry Air (Danny Boy) all segue together to make up this extraordinary album.
