The Best of Andrea Bocelli: Vivere

by: Andrea Bocelli

Release Date October 30, 2007
Very good LP.
Each song seems to be a character, along with a great storyline.
Bocelli's vocals are perfection, as usual, and wrapped within the walls of the other instruments, this LP is a perfect thing.
It is NOT necessary to understand the lyrics, the delivery does more than speak to you: It creates a mood that reflects the very love that went into the creation of this LP.
Great job and money well spent.
This LP will effect you on a visceral level, it is pure mood.

Andrea Bocelli - Amore

by: Andrea Bocelli

Release Date January 31, 2006
Although I don't know the languages that Andrea usually sings in, I prefer he not sing in english. And the nod to Elvis on this CD is out of place.

Romanza

by: Andrea Bocelli

Release Date September 23, 1997
As a new listener of his music, I wanted one album that would be representative of Bocelli's distinctively romantic voice and that included my personal fave: "Vivo Per Lei." This album is perfect.

This admirable compilation includes part of the vast repertoire of this extraordinary and sensitive interpreter that has captivated and engaged the universal admiration all over the world.

Release Date February 27, 2001
I heard this CD on a PBS pledge drive (it was a premium) and found myself loving every cut on it! I was in my car and just wanted to keep on driving and listening. This is by far my most-played CD - I've had to make it a weekend only listen to prevent getting burned out on it. HIGHLY recommend it. Even if you are unfamiliar with some of the pieces, you will quickly learn to love them. . . . I must end this review - I'm off to listen to the "flower duet" for the 100th time. . .

The Magic Of Lang Lang

from: Deutsche Grammophon

Release Date February 05, 2008
What a terrific gem of a CD! The compilation, arrangement and acoustical recordings are purposeful and greatly appreciable. Opening with Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody (Horowitz arrangement) is a stunning and bracing performance which I do not recall having ever heard better. Chopin and Rachmaninov pieces here are familiar but have new and subtle interpretations and they are lovely. It has been said the human vocal cord may have as many as 5000 vibrations per second and you will surely believe it when you hear the last piece featuring Andrea Bocelli along side Lang Lang's accompaniment. Brilliant.

Vivere Live in Tuscany [CD/DVD]

from: Decca

Release Date January 29, 2008
Fantastic!! Since his first cross-over CD/DVD, "Under The Desert Sky", I have awaited another such set. I have listened and viewed it many times and it just gets better. One of our most prized operatic voices heard today. The wonderful artists that appeared on stage and performed with him were outstanding. The backdrop of the Tuscany countryside was beautiful and well chosen. I look for more of these entertaining concerts which I prefer over classic opera.

Odyssey

by: Hayley Westenra

Release Date October 18, 2005
She truly does a beautiful job singing Enya's "May it Be" from LOTR. Another favorite of mine on this album is "Dell'Amore Non Si Sa", a duet with Andrea Bocelli. Need I say more? You'll enjoy this album.
