For Sandi Patty, it's been twenty-five years of acclaim and accolades as a premier pop soprano—not just in Christian music, but for American audiences overall. With the 100-minute double-disc collection
The album title indicates the focus of its 22 tracks, although what's not immediately apparent is the stylistic diversity. The first disc is beautifully orchestrated, featuring the City of Prague Philharmonic, with hymn arrangements conducted by producer and keyboardist David Hamilton.
