Higher

About the CD: Award-winning tenor Nathan Pacheco has toured the world featured alongside world-class artists such as Yanni, Katherine Jenkins, and Placido Domingo. In all of his travels across South America, through Europe and Asia, and across America, Nathan often includes spiritually rooted and uplifting songs in his repertoire. This album is a collection of his favorite songs that connect with those spiritual moments from his performances across the world. These songs take the listener on a beautiful journey with classic hymns such as "Be Thou My Vision," soaring Italian epics like "Nella Fantasia," and modern classics such as "Forever," by Kari Jobe. Performing with intimate acoustic backing and often featuring piano and cello, Nathan's desire with this album is to help people reach higher, to feel deeper spiritual connection, and to find peace through songs that life the soul.

My review: Holy cow! I can't even tell you just how much I loved this whole CD. I love Nathan Pacheco's sound. I love the piano and cello in the background. I love the songs he chose. Really every thing about it. 

Song #1 Forever really touched me. I've listened to it several times, and every time I do I love it even more. I've included the YouTube video so you can watch it. It really is amazing and gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it. I love his singing in this one and I really love the choir at the end too.

I really loved his foreign language songs as well. It was kind of fun that I could understand a few words here and there from my DuoLingo training. And my all time favorite "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" is on here as well and really well done.

Make sure to check this great CD out! 

I was sent a copy of this CD in exchange for an honest review.
