I have followed Andrea's career from the very beginning when Pavarotti took him under his wing. Pavarotti knew then what an exceptional asset Andrea would become for the opera world. Although Pavarotti, possessing an exceptional talent himself, drew in hordes to the world of classical and operatic music, it was Andrea who stole everyone's heart. It was Andrea who opened our eyes, ears and hearts to the type of music most of us shrugged aside and refused to listen to. The opera... not everyone's cup of tea... but when Andrea opens his mouth and lets out that first note, everyone's heart stops beating and we listen. Andrea turned operatic type songs into music the rest of the world wanted to hear, and by modernizing it, a whole new type of music was created. Thank God he never went on to become a lawyer as his father had intended... and thank God for such an extraordinary voice.

How to describe such a voice... ANGELIC... simply the voice of an angel, and with it, the raw passion akin to the devil's own. And that's what it's all about...passion, pure and simple. When I first heard him sing, my first thought was; "If God could sing, he would have Andrea's voice." What an incredible talent for such a modest man.

So why have I not given this cd a good rating... simply because it was NOT the true Andrea Bocelli. The songs (which another reviewer has already enumerated) do not do Andrea's voice justice... they just don't stand up to the quality of the songs on an earlier cd called Romanza... actually, none of Andrea's cd's have been able to hold their own against Romanza. It's such a shame... truly.

How can any cd compare to Romanza... impossible. The true Andrea can sing Miserere (on Romanza cd) and set your heart on fire before you've even gotten over the shivers that have just gone up and down your spine. The true Andrea will hypnotise you with Con Te Partiro (Romanza cd), and you'll wish you were the woman he was pining for... it's his voice, but more... it's the lyrics and music. As they say, you need the tools for the job. Andrea's voice is exceptional... absolutely no one possesses such a flawless and rich voice, but in order to do it justice, the right songs are needed...

sorry... but in the case of this cd... the quality of the songs just isn't there. Too commercial... a bit bland... nothing truly special.

In order to truly appreciate Andrea Bocelli's extraordinary talent, I recommend you go out and purchase Romanza.
