Review: When 'The Hands For Hope Movement', an organization created to further a sense of brotherhood and giving by volunteerism came to Michele Anastasio requesting an anthem, she was happy to comply.
Citing divine inspiration, Michele has composed a song that expresses brotherhood and giving in a most eloquent and lovely fashion.
Anastasio sings this piece in fifteen different languages: English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, and Spanish..No easy task.
Michele Anastasio has a magnificent voice, a tone as crystal clear as any in the business of singing. Her phrasing is magical and the sensitivity poured forth from this soulful rendition will move the most staid and sober listener to an uplifting emotional experience.
The quality of Miss Anastasio's vocal artistry is evident to the most discriminating ear and the lyric is poetic majesty...Vincit omnia veritas !
Tracks: Hold My Hand in fifteen languages
