Power of Passion

Recorded with the Budapest Symphonic Orchestra and mastered at the Abbey Road Studios in London, "The Power of Passion" contains eleven songs carefully selected for this CD. The album contains the world's only sung version of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, entitled "Morir d'amor", arranged by Marianna for voice and orchestra. In addition, the album offers reinterpretations of famous soundtracks scores including "The Thorn Birds", "Love Story", "Once Upon a Time in the West" and "The Godfather", among others. Marianna Cataldi, singer-songwriter and composer from Taranto, Italy, is known for her unique, innovative vocal style between pop and opera. Her soprano voice is well suited for classical and non-classical music, between which she is most capable of easily and winningly switching.
