River of Dreams (Hayley Westenra album)

River of Dreams: The Very Best of Hayley Westenra is a compendium album released in UK and New Zealand by Christchurch soprano Hayley Westenra.

《River of Dreams》 contains selections from her three best-selling Decca albums Pure, Odyssey and Treasure, combined with four newly recorded songs. Westenra's distinctively flutey, helium-high, gravity-free, crystal-sharp, emotion-free vocals were showcased through classical, traditional, easy listening repertoires.^[1][2][3]

The New Zealand Special Edition of this album includes a second CD, featuring nine special fan favorites.^[2]
