Music Review: Thanks and No Thanks
Rating: 3 Stars
Mr. Bocelli has a lovely voice but this is pop music and doesn't give his operatic talents its full "Voice".As for Ms. Dion, enough already. Streisand tried a classical album and failed miserably and Celine Dion is doing no better. Grant it, this is pop music but she is still pairing herself with an operatic voice (Sting did much better with Povorotti because he did not aspire beyond his vocal abilities). On top of it all, the over miking and studio technology make her sound more and more like Streisand and in "The Prayer" there are passages where it would take a voice expert from the CIA to dicipher the difference. Please Ms. Dion, go back to mass marketing romantica and keep out of "Class-ical".
Music Review: LESS THAN ROMANZA
Rating: 3 Stars
MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE MUSIC OF ANDRE STARTED WHEN PBS HAD HIS TOSCANY SPECIAL AS A FUNDRAISER. I WA S ENCHANTED BY HIM AND HOOKED ON HIS MUSIC. I BOUGHT THE VIDEO. I BOUGHT THE TAPE AND CD. (ROMANZA). MY FRIENDS ,HEARING THE MUSIC ALSO FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM. I TOOK THE VIDEO TO A SENIOR CENTER AND THEY ALSO FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM. IT WAS MAGICAL. THE THOUGHT OF A NEW ALBUM WAS EXCITING AND I BOUGHT IT. THE MUSIC DID NOT DISPLAY HIS STRONG POWERFUL RANGE AS IN THE FIRST CD. THIS WAS A SOFT , GENTLE ANDRE. OK FOR SLEEPLESS NIGHTS . WHERE WAS THE PASSION? HE SEEMED TO TONE DOWN WHEN DOING A DUET. ON ROMANZA, THE DUETS TOUCHED MY SOUL. ANDRE SHOULD TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK AT HIS STRENGTHS AND GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.Music Review: Sublime...

Yes, it 's pop, crossover, sentimental. It is also lovely. Sometimes crossover works well, witness Sylvia McNair's CD of Jerome Kern songs with Andre Previn. But back to the point. The three duets on this CD are, by themselves, worth the price. Anyone who is so effete as to remain unmoved by the achingly lovely duet bridge by Bocelli and Dion in the Italian style may as well make reservations at the mortuary. Or go back to reading Gogol. The solo numbers are equally well done, from Sogno to the light "I Love Rossini." My only beef is the gurgling water pumped into the second from the last track. Buy this CD. Listen to it by candlelight with a lover. Ignore the snobs who call it low brow.Music Review: Young turks love Bocelli

This is Bocelli's best by far. The most gut wrenching, no doubt. I fell very much in love with Immenso, which feels very much like the great Eastern European folk songs. A beautiful rendition. What a voice. I also fell in love with tracks 6, 7 and 14, As a sidebar, I went to a music store last evening after seeing Bocelli in concert in Dallas Monday (4/10) and the 15+ year old guy that assisted me almost cried when he found out I had gone to his concert. This guy was listening to The Beastie Boys and immediately changed his stance/attitude when I talked to him about Bocell's concert. "I have goosebumps talking to you about this" he told me. I smiled and almost cried on the way home.Music Review: Young turks love Bocelli
