豐盈的創作力及藝術的成熟度與品味，在她的首張專輯中便已展露無遺。
Summer（薩默爾）首次出擊，橫跨「電影配樂、古典、民族音樂」三大要素，「智能型全方位」才情，製作、編曲一把抓！薩默爾是嫻熟多國語言，受正統歌劇教育出身，最多才多藝的智能型超級新天後，「夏天」是她的首張同名專輯，這是她親自挑選並參與編曲，融合古典歌劇與歐洲民族風的元素，以及流行音樂中的人文思考。集合全英國最強的製作團隊打造之大卡司製作，由尼克派屈克監製曾製作吉普賽國王合唱團、羅素華生等集結最耀眼、聞名於國際樂壇的音樂家陣容，以及著名管絃樂編曲家尼克伊格曼身兼指揮，指揮享譽世界的英國皇家愛樂交響樂團。薩默爾豐潤如絲又可輕盈的歌聲，如溫柔地撫慰人心。
(17 August 2003) Summer is a classically trained vocalist whose rich, sumptuous voice can soar effortlessly over music written by some of the world's all time greatest composers; Beethoven, Vivaldi, Strauss, Rodrigo, Sting, and Ennio Morricone are just some of the names from the past and present whose music Summer has chosen to present on her self-titled debut album (Sony Music Entertainment Ltd (UK) SK89879) released in April .
Although Summer's debut album is more classically styled than others in the crossover genre, it will appeal to enthusiasts of Sarah Brightman review), Emma Shapplin (review), Izzy (review), Filippa Giordano (review), Sasha Lazard (review) and Laura Turner (feature).
Summer is comprised of twelve tracks the artist personally selected and in several cases arranged by the singer herself. Produced by Nick Patrick (Gipsy Kings, Russell Watson), guest musicians include bassist Pino Palladino (Celine Dion, Peter Gabriel, Eric Clapton), keyboardist Richard Cottle (Mick Jagger, Manic Street Preachers, Vanessa-Mae), guitarist Dominic Miller (Sting), percussionist Miles Bould (John Martyn, James Asher) and renowned orchestral arranger and conductor Nick Ingman who, on this album, conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
"Putting the album together was exciting and the realisation of a dream," says Summer. "It features a huge range of styles and songs. I really wanted to get across not just the fact that I'm an opera singer but that I love singing everything from purely classical pieces to jazz, world and pop." In an effort to bring something different to the table, Summer sought out pieces from around the world and blended them to create an exquisite mix of classical music, world influences, new arrangements and timeless lyrics.
What separates Summer's debut from anything that has gone before is the seamless fusion that has been achieved between the classical and ethnic musical idioms, a fusion that takes nothing from either genre, but rather adds to both and creates a style that is both emotively powerful and intellectually satisfying। The clearest analogy is the combination of jazz and roots that has made Norah Jones debut album review one of the top selling albums on 2002.
The Summer album includes the exciting opening number "Nella Fantasia" by Ennio Morricone with lyrics by Chiara Ferrau; the Spanish song, "Palabra De Honor," which was a huge hit for the Gipsy Kings; "Aranjuez ma Pensee," an arrangement of the Guitar Concerto written in the 1930s by Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo with lyrics by Victoria Kahmi; an exquisite French lullaby "Berceuse" by the the 19th century composer Benjamin Godard; the beautiful "Song To The Moon" by the 19th century composer Antonin Dvorak with lyrics by Jaroslav Kvapil; and an extraordinary cover of Sting's song "Fragile."
