Crash survivor makes CD a message of comfort
......The soprano soloist on the recording is Elin Manahan Thomas, who had singing lessons from John Hugh Thomas. He was also Sioned James's singing teacher and brought her that life-changing tape of the Requiem back in 1993.
Miss James, who is from Llandysul, said, A couple of years ago I saw a television programme where Melvyn Bragg interviewed John Rutter, who said that, of all the sopranos in the world, Elin Manahan Thomas was the best to sing the Pie Jesu in the Requiem.
We're very lucky that Elin sings with us on this CD. We asked her before she became world-famous. We're fortunate that she could give some of her time. She knew how important the Requiem was for me......
