Win with La SpinaCreating a new musical genre is a feat to which few musicians can lay a genuine claim. But when the talents of a pop diva were merged with one of Australia’s leading operatic tenors, a new category of ‘Orchestral/Pop’ was born and with it, an exciting one-of-a-kind musical act with a truly epic new album.
Factor in that they are brother and sister, and it’s easy to see why occupies such a unique place in the international recording arena.
After forging successful musical careers independently over the past decade, Anna-Maria and Rosario La Spina have come together for their debut album, ALWAYS YOU.
Co-written and co-produced by Anna-Maria with her musical arrangements made in partnership with a Hollywood-based film arranger, this album is emotionally overwhelming and of cinematic proportions. One listener described it as being “like the Empire State Building in music!”
Backed by the 65-piece Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and a support band that toured with Savage Garden, the two sibling-singers have melded their respective pop and operatic flairs to create an epic sound, taking their Orchestral /Pop genre to a whole new level.
“It’s difficult to compare the style and sound of this album with anything that’s preceded it,” says Anna-Maria, the driving force behind Universal Music Australia and ABC Classics’ priority release for the second half of 2010. “Cross-over acts seem to dominate the charts these days, but I think our sound is a little more charged and dramatic than you would normally expect when classical artists take on pop or vice-versa.”
In fact the pair is being credited with initiating an entirely new phase in Orchestral/Pop, as ALWAYS YOU presents a genuinely ‘organic’ integration of classical and popular sensibilities.
