DESCRIPTION
All Angels are a super group selected by record giants UCJ in 2006. None of the girls are operatic and mostly come from a choral background. Up to recently, they were targeted at the Christmas and Mother’s Day market, as they did not often differ away from the safe light classical sound though the release of their third disc broke the pattern. Their material includes choral pieces, pop covers, light arias and traditional classics, though their third album, Fly Away, leans towards American easy listening. Their albums are home to very fine arrangements, and their voices blend together to make an elegant sweet sound. Although there are other classical groups such as Il Divo, Blake and Amici Forever, All Angels sound like none of them; although there are only four members, they are more choral orientated than opera. Their closest relations are probably Angelis or Libera.

Comments
All Angels have become a force to be reckoned with. Working beautiful four part harmonies around classical, opera and pop tunes, the girls have crafted a unique and entrancing sound. After they signed a five-album deal with Decca in 2006, their first two discs built them an awesome reputation in the Classical Crossover market and sold half a million copies. Their success earned the Angels platinum discs, appearances at the Classical Brits and accolades from Sir Paul McCartney.
Fly Away their 3rd album released in early 2010 raced straight to the top of the Classical charts. The album finds the high-achieving quartet spreading their musical wings to explore folk songs, musicals, modern classics and spirituals.
