'Anthems' - Music to Inspire a Nation features a collection of considered, rousing, beautiful songs, sung deep from the heart, as only Russell can.

To celebrate the Queen's diamond jubilee year and with the Olympics on the horizon, Russell Watson presents 'Anthems' - Music to Inspire a Nation. It features a collection of considered, rousing, beautiful songs, sung deep from the heart, as only Russell can.

Russell's unique interpretations of sporting anthems "Proud" and "Race to the End" (theme from Chariots of Fire) alongside his epic take on the patriotic anthems of Scotland, England and Wales are all sung with enough verve to inspire a nation.

Russell's duet performed with Dame Vera Lynn using vocals from the original wartime recording when she was the forces sweetheart and barely twenty will touch the hardest of hearts.

A guest appearance by the Fron Male Voice Choir on "Calon Lan", and a tear jerking version of "The Londonderry Air" ("Danny Boy") all segue together to make up this extraordinary album.
