CIRCUS SANCTUARY
Circus Sanctuary, the dynamic saga-esque solo album of singer Christina
Linhardt, musically chronicles tales of her ecclectic life bouncing
from continent to continent, including stories of her magical, yet
torrid affair with the Crown Prince of Saxony, her life as a Carnivale
entertainer in the Fooles Guild, her travels through African jungles
and time spent training to become a professional fighter (which she
never did; music won out).
Utilizing an array of musical styles from Salsa to Reggae to Grandiose
Rock-Ballad, Circus Sanctuary, covers the gamut of genres, yet is
tied
together by the unique rock aria style arrangements, and the rhythmic
"glue" of world percussionist Angel Luis Figueroa.
The core band in recording the album consisted of acclaimed and renowned
studio players Dino Meneghin,guitar, Marco Meneghin,drums, Bob Feldman,
bass, and John Rangel, keyboards. Sparkling special guest spots include
Salsa violinst Dan Weinstein, legendary pianist Shelton Berg,
Sax solos by Bruce Eskovitz, and a cameo piccolo trumpet cadenza by
Bill Churchville.
Skillfully produced and arranged by Bruce Eskovitz and Christina Linhardt,
and masterfully engineered by Glenn Nishida(Pacifica Studios) Circus
Sanctuary is a must have for lovers of inventive music, created by
artists, not industries.
"...we alluded to the great singing voice of Christina
Linhardt in the review, and here is a chance to hear it. If
you go see the show, you too can meet Christina and buy her CD.
You won't believe what she does with the classics - especially Ave
Maria. With some original lyrics thrown in, this CD showcases
her broad range and lyrical expressiveness. The arrangements
are tops and the orchestrations are crisp, but the best part is that
wonderful voice that soars above the notes and engulfs you in pure
joy.
Try it - you'll like it!"

" Europe may have pop singers who are good in English, but
our own Christina Linhardt goes them one better. The LA based coloratura
has released a CD, CIRCUS SANCTUARY, on which
she sings in three languages, English, French and Latin, sprinkled
with a few words of German. Possessor of a wonderous voice that can
handle
just about any song there is...Linhardt is an absolute wonder, a
vocalist with an amazing range and expressiveness.
She's no mere technicia either--this is a voice that radiates beauty
and sweetness as it soars high and far with each note"
