Andrea Bocelli - Amore

Absolutely fantastic album. I especially enjoy the duet with Christina Aguilera, Somos Novios (It's Impossible) is one of the most touching duets I have ever heard. Christina should try her hand at an all old ballads or jazz album. I think with that voice, it would be a huge hit. Not being a fan of hers because of the type of music she performs, I never knew she had such a beautiful voice.

This is truly a great CD, with Andrea Bocelli at its best. Highly recommended.

Liberace, Glenn Gould, Britney Spears... sometimes immense popular success is inexplicable. I just went to a cocktail party given by an American in Rome, at which the American played this album to "make his guests confortable." Fortunately his Italian was minimal, or he'd have heard the mockery. Bocelli has very little vocal technique, so you might think this performance would be more plausible than his opera CDs. Well, you'd be wrong. These songs derive from a tradition of very virtuosic singing in Italy, a tradition which is fading today but still well remembered. Just listen to the early recordings of Claudio Villa if you want to hear how these songs should be sung. If you've seen the movie The Big Night, you've heard Claudio Villa singing the beautifully decorated theme-song. Get the soundtrack to that movie and I promise you'll hear the difference!

I enjoy his voice and the background orchestral arrangements. Have not listened to the CD enough to give you the information you would like.

Best,

Peter

I sure to love his work--anything he does.
This album only has one english song-but sometimes it is better not to be concentrating on words and just let it all flow through you...........
