My Love: Essential Collection (Columbia, 2008) by Celine Dion

My Love is a great compilation album that does a wonderful job of spanning Celine's career.  Between the Titanic soundtrack and the R. Kelly album, I've got a few of the Celine tracks that I like.  Fortunately, this collection grabs a few others.  "Beauty and the Beast" and "Because You Loved Me" are classics that I'm now proud to have purchased and keep in my iTunes library.

For as big of a song as "My Heart Will Go On," the rest of the album (wherein all other tracks are instrumentals) holds up very well too.  Even without the accompaniment of visuals from the film, James Horner's arrangements are superb.  "Rose" and "Hymn to the Sea" are my personal favorites.  They clearly evoke emotion and could be used to score anything accordingly, in addition to one of the biggest movies in the history of film.  Titanic certified James Cameron as a genius, and its soundtrack did the same for James Horner.
