Vivere - Andrea Bocelli

Andrea Bocelli's latest album has something for everyone. Although it is called a greatest hits album there are, in fact, 4 new recordings to delight the devoted fans such as myself.

Andrea Bocelli's latest album has something for everyone. Although it is called a greatest hits album there are, in fact, 4 new recordings to delight the devoted fans such as myself. In addition, all his classic & most beautiful recordings are also here such as "Time to say goodbye" with Sarah Brightman & "The Prayer" with Celine Dion + my favourite of all time "Sogno".

This is easy listening music, no opera, not for rock fans but for anyone who appreciates "conventional" music performed by a real professional in his field. There is also a version that comes with a bonus DVD which features a concert of operatic arias from the Statue of Liberty, which is the one I own, but would not really recommend unless a die-hard fan.
