Always You
La Spina
Description:The talents of a pop diva are merged with one of Australia’s leading operatic tenors for this exciting, one-of-a-kind musical act! Brother and sister Rosario and Anna-Maria La Spina, after forging successful musical careers independently over the past decade have come together for their first album, ‘Always You’. Backed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and a support band that toured with Savage Garden, the two sibling singers have melded their talents to create an epic sound for this emotionally overwhelming, cinematically proportioned disc.
Despite a three-and-a-half year difference in age, the siblings, who were born and bred in a Sicilian-Australian household in the suburbs of Brisbane, have embarked on starkly different musical journeys. Anna-Maria went on to sing at London’s Hyde Park and Madison Square Garden in New York with Savage Garden and worked alongside superstars Meatloaf, Ozzy Osbourne and Slash, while Rosario, who has been described by a former Opera Australia executive as “the Australian Pavarotti”, has appeared at that shrine of opera houses, La Scala in Milan, in the company of Plácido Domingo.
La Spina exudes sophistication, timeless elegance and excitement, all of which are reflected in their music. In a world of pre-fabricated artists and contrived tunes, their fusion on ALWAYS YOU stands out as much for its genuineness and musical integrity as for its unique, monumental sound and staggering vocal performances.
