''Paradiso'' is an international album by Christchurch, New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra, in collaboration with Italian maestro Ennio Morricone. It was released worldwide beginning 18 April 2011 in New Zealand. ''Paradiso'' features new compositions written by Morricone for Westenra, as well as Hayley performing some of his best-known film compositions in vocalese. Westenra also contributed new English lyrics for some of Morricone's most well-known pieces, "Gabriel's Oboe", "La Califfa", and "Malena".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hayley Westenra albums Paradiso on amazon.co.uk )〕 Westenra said she not only was inspired by "Gabriel's Oboe" (the theme from the 1986 film classic The Mission), but also contributed lyrics to Whispers In A Dream (music:"Gabriel’s Oboe") in the spirit of world peace.〔http://fashion.ce.cn/music/201109/28/t20110928_22726118.shtml〕 Morricone produced all of Westenra's vocal performances and created new arrangements for each track, conducting instrumental sessions with his own 120-piece orchestra, Sinfonietta di Roma.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hayley Westenra albums Paradiso on marbecks.co.nz )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hayley Westenra & Ennio Morricone, Paradiso (Decca) )〕 On 18 July 2011, Morricone commented, "When I first heard Hayley’s voice I was impressed and fascinated. I was very pleased when I was asked to compose and arrange the pieces that Hayley sings on her CD and am delighted with the results. I want to mention that this is not just a small anthology but also includes new songs performed and recorded for the first time... I wish our CD great fortune and many listeners and to this beautiful performer, a great career."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Message from Ennio Morricone )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hayley Westenra album on iTunes )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paradiso on QVC from HWI archives )〕 Oscar-winning lyricist Don Black, Sir Tim Rice, and Marilyn and Alan Bergman also contributed lyrics to the multi-language album (including some English and Italian songs, a French and a Portuguese song).〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HAYLEY WESTENRA’S PRESENTS 'PARADISO' )〕 ''Paradiso'' became the 85th local #1 album since the inception of the Official New Zealand Music Charts in 1975.
