Aled Jones, Hear My Prayer

SAIN released Aled Jones’ first album, Diolch â Chân in 1983 and his second Ave Maria in 1984 and a single Too Young to Know in 1985. A third album was also recorded, but it could not be released due to Aled’s signing with Virgin. However, when the time elapsed, half the third album was released on CD with the “Ave Maria” album (SCD2095) and now the time has come to release the other “lost” tracks, including the only full version of “Hear my Prayer”, recorded by Aled.This CD also includes two “bonus” tracks from the single released in 1985.

Robert Wyn Roberts, Aled’s first vocal tutor, introduces this new compilation and says ..”It is difficult to believe that 20 years have gone by since Aled’s first recording for SAIN at Bangor Cathedral, in November 1983……this compilation spans what I regard as the golden years of Aled’s treble-singing career, and shows why his voice and innate musicality places him in the forefront of classical singers, and certainly among the best treble singers of all time. It was a privilege indeed to have been a part of the singing miracle which touched so many millions of hearts across the world”.

Traciau heb eu cyhoeddi o'r blaen, ei albym gyntaf (Diolch a Chân) a 2 drac bonws.

Fis Tachwedd 1983, recordiodd Aled Jones ei record gyntaf yng Nghadeirlan Bangor ac ugain mlynedd yn ddiweddarach mae SAIN yn falch o gyhoeddi CD Aled Jones “Hear my Prayer” sy’n cynnwys ei albym cyntaf, dau drac bonws a chaneuon nas cyhoeddwyd o’r blaen. Llythyr gan y diweddar Hefina Orwig Evans o Fangor at Gwmni SAIN a arweiniodd at ddechrau gyrfa recordio un o lleisiau trebl gorau a glywodd y byd erioed. Cyhoeddodd SAIN y record hir “Diolch â Chân” yn 1983, “Ave Maria” yn 1984 a’r sengl “Too Young to Know” yn 1985. Fe recordiwyd drydedd albym yn cynnwys “Hear my Prayer” ond gwaharddwyd ei chyhoeddi pan arwyddodd Aled i gwmni Virgin. Mae hanner yr albym honno a “Chaneuon y Tri Aderyn” gan Dilys Elwyn-Edwards, ar y CD “Ave Maria” (SCD2095) ynghyd â’r albym wreiddiol o’r un enw. Ond nawr dyma gyfle i gyhoeddi gweddill y traciau nas cyhoeddwyd erioed o’r blaen, sy’n cynnwys y fersiwn llawn o “Hear my Prayer” gyda Chantorion Monteverdi, ei albym gyntaf un, ac fel traciau bonws, Too young to know a Bridge Over Trouble Water.
