Description:
Here Hayley presents 'Celtic Treasure' (also known as just 'Treasure' for the European release).

Recorded in Dublin, Ireland, Hayley's third solo album is a very personal collection of classical arias and Irish folk songs - representing treasured people and places in her remarkable musical journey.

Treasure is a celebration of Hayley's family roots, and her grandparent's journey accross the World on the first boat that left Ireland for New Zealand in the 1880s - taking with them a rich musical heritage. Her grandmother - a singer, and her grandfather, who played the accordion, were to be important influences on Hayley's musical development.

Hayley grew up hearing her grandmother singing Italian opera arias in English (a practice popularised by recordings with singers such as Kathleen Ferrier). Hayley has continued this tradition by recording the well-known aria One Fine Day. ('Un bel di) from Puccini's Madama Butterfly , in which the tragic geisha imagines the day when her lover's ship will again appear on the horizon.
