Still at the tender age of 24, New Zealand born soprano Hayley Westenra celebrates 10 incredible years in the music industry with the release of her fifth studio album, Paradiso. The catalyst for her staggering development was working on this album in Rome with legendary film composer Ennio Morricone and his orchestra.

She says, 'With this album I feel I’ve grown a lot musically and I had a lot more to put into it emotionally. But the bottom line is I was working with a musical genius whose arrangements are out of this world and I had the opportunity to put lyrics to his amazing melodies'.
