If you remember from 2007 California Symphony in the Plaza in Concord, CA., this young man, then 13, and now about to turn 15 has just released his first CD. Click HERE to visit his Web site for more information about the CD.

This is what I wrote in a CONCORDIAN article due out tomorrow:

"There are a lot of reasons to rush out and buy the debut CD “I Only Dream of You” by 14-year-old Charlie Baggett, the young singer who sang with the California Symphony in Concord last September (see video below.)

The most obvious reason is that in the not too distant future, as this young man’s career soars, you will own a valuable collector piece. With a limited number available, you’ll be glad to have been there at the start of his professional career. A better reason is that this is an album of delightful and inspiring music.

The CD is a collection of songs ranging from the well-known “Time to Say Goodbye,” which Charlie performs with a close comparison to Josh Groban in style and vocal range, to the familiar and religiously popular “Ave Maria.” Fans of Il Divo will enjoy Charlie’s solo of “Nella Fantasia,” which offers the rich operatic tones one would expect with a very pure sound.

The cover song, “I Only Dream of You,” is one of two original compositions scored for Charlie by friend Annabelle Marie, producer and director of the Voena Children’s Choir where Charlie has performed since age 10. Marie also plays the violin on the album and acted as producer.

With the richly emotional music reminiscent of a theatrical love song, “I Only Dream” urges the listener to sing along and leaves the melody for humming long after the CD has ended."

We've written several pieces on Charlie - his voice is such that I fully expect to see him in a long future with the handful of solidly talented operatic and classical singers out there - mark my words.

I'm still humming that song, by the way.... go visit the site HERE or email Charlie at brg@baggettrecordgroup.com and be sure to tell them that I sent you. They also have shirts, posters, bags etc.
