【專輯簡介】：

Cecilia出生於挪威位於北極圈內的一個小鎮，極地寒冷的氣候造就了她如水晶般清澈的嗓音。她從小就表現出對唱歌的熱愛和天賦，9歲時，Cecilia在電視節目中看到了歌劇《阿依達》後，便立志成為一個歌唱家。她在挪威、丹麥和德國的音樂學院進行了長達6年的學習，以優異的成績畢業.堅實的聲樂基礎使她的音域能輕鬆跨越3個8度而游刃有餘。此後，Cecilia赴美、澳等國家尋求音樂發展，並師從William Riley（威廉·萊歷——Celine Dion和Whitney Houston都是他的門下弟子）等蜚聲國際的聲樂大師繼續學習，天籟般的嗓音和靚麗的外表使她的音樂生涯青雲直上，首張唱片《Voice of the Feminine Spirit》1994年在澳大利亞發行，還未經任何市場宣傳就大賣20萬張。

Cecilia在美國、英國、芬蘭、德國、日本等地開始了她的征服世界之旅。她的表演得到了高度的評價：“Cecilia不僅有天使般的美麗聲線，更重要的是她在用靈魂歌唱。正因如此，她的歌聲能俘虜你的心靈，牽引你的思緒……”。在2002年鹽湖城東奧會上的獻唱，標誌著Cecilia成長為一位世界級的歌唱家。

Norwegian born Cecilia Knutsend possesses a haunting bell like classically trained voice. The songs inspire and soothe. This album features renowned flautist and composer Tim Wheater and lyrics by Stuart Wilde. Contains Daughter of the “Midnight Sun”, “The Sacred Hum”, “Unite the Tribe”, “Silver Wings”, “Solveig’s Song” and a beautiful rendition of “Amazing Grace (Prayer to the Whales)” with whale sounds.

Comparisons to Sarah Brightman of "Phantom of the Opera" and Celtic vocalists Enya and Loreena McKennitt are inevitable, but Cecilia has a distinctive vocal style that is uniquely her own. Her pure, bell-like voice is beautifully enhanced by the radiant backdrops of collaborator, flutist, and producer Tim Wheater. The program of strong material includes the traditional "Amazing Grace," augmented with whale sounds to create a plaintive prayer for them. Mike Rowland's "Silver Wings" is given a haunting voice by Cecilia with stirring results, and the album closes as it had opened with the Norwegian reading of Grieg's "Solvieg's Song."
