    This review is from: The Best of Andrea Bocelli: Vivere (Audio CD)
    Andrea Bocelli, the world's most popular tenor (and Best selling) and pop sensation as well, has recorded The Best of Andrea Bocelli, Vivere what is a wonderful collection of his crossover (semi classical pop) songs and is a must for every Bocelli fan. Every song on the CD is wonderful and all the hit songs have been re mastered (or remixed) and sound better than ever.

    The Songs include a nice selection of some of Bocelli's best work (it would take a 10 CD set to give us all of his best work-both clasicl and Popular); Bocelli has a very beautiful voice, that expresses much emotion. His tone and diction are excellent and his Volume is much better then the critics claim, he voice is always moving, his singing touches one's heart and goes righ into ones soul. The tracks include Songo; from the Songo album; It may be his best song ever. IL Mare Calmo Della Sera from the Romanza album (and an Earlier Album with the tital IL Mare Clamo Della Sera); this was his first hit and was... Read more

    This review is from: The Best of Andrea Bocelli: Vivere (Audio CD)
    Andrea Bocelli, the blind and popular Italian tenor who, since making his stage debut in 1994, has sold millions of CDs worldwide, has released a collection of his greatest hits.
    Never mind that he is "not very good" and his high notes can evoke "strangulation".
    You might pity some music critics, who were faced with a nasty dilemma some months ago. Were they to fall in with the many fans of Mr Bocelli for whom he is evidently the next Pavarotti and echo their adulation? Or should they write what they believed - that his singing is flawed - and be accused of snobbery?
    After a concert, the New York Time critic quoted "The tone is rasping, thin and, in general, poorly supported... "Even the most modest upward movement thins it even more, signalling what appears to be the onset of strangulation...
    To his credit, Mr Bocelli sings mostly in tune. But his phrasing tends toward carelessness and rhythmic jumble, and the little barks and husky vocal expletives that are the... Read more

    ...is to go song-by-song (or rather, track-by-track).

    1. La Voce del Silenzio: This is a cover of an Italian love song previously recorded by Mina and Dionne Warwick, and the first of five new recordings made specifically for this album. Simple, but lavish.

    2. Sogno: Track 3 on the 1999 album of the same name. It's sweet and sentimental at the same time, and Bocelli's performance only adds to it instead of taking anything away.

    3. Il Mare Calmo della Sera: The opener of his true debut (1994 album of same name) and Track 4 on Romanza. Powerful, but very well sung.

    4. Dare to Live (Vivere): This is a reworking of Bocelli's own duet with Gerardina Trovato, from the 'Romanza' and IMCDS albums, this time with Laura Pausini singing the newly translated English lyrics. Different from the original, but... Read more
