Featured News WORLD IN UNION
'World In Union - The Official Album of the Rugby World Cup', is out now. Witness the greatest collection of classical talent ever gathered together on one song. Including 19 artists who represent 30 million record sales, and recorded in 6 different locations, World in Union is the official theme tune to the ITV coverage of the Rugby World Cup 2007, and will feature in every match televised. The song features classical stars from Katherine Jenkins to Russell Watson, and was recorded variously in London, Manchester, Paris, Milan, Cape Town, Brisbane and Prague.
In addition to this dramatic track, there are a further nineteen stirring rugby songs sung by singers from around the globe, that will unite and inspire in equal measure. From England, newcomers Blake sing the official anthem of England rugby, Swing Low, whilst future New Zealand star Will Martin lends his golden vocals to Hine e Hine; and classical heavyweights such as Bryn Terfel and Roberto Alagna sing respectively Land of My Fathers and the French national anthem.
This awe-inspiring line up matches the sporting talent meeting on pitches across France this September. This album will provide the perfect soundtrack to what promises to be a legendary Rugby World Cup.
