Backed by a huge choir and featuring collaborations with Tina Arena, Sarah Brightman, and Anggun, I Muvrini & Les 500 Choristes is the ambitious 2007 release from the eclectic Corsican folk duo. The follow-up to Alma includes eight new compositions, including the single "Sara," alongside cover versions of Bruce Springsteen's "Streets of Philadelphia," Jacques Brel's "Amsterdam," and a rendition of traditional religious song "Dui Vi Salvi Regina." ~ Jon O'Brien
