Not content with the simplistic "crossover" formula, superstar tenor Andrea Bocelli has been pursuing alternative paths since he emerged as a vocal phenomenon in the mid-1990s: operatic classics and contemporary popular song. The singer's last few albums have showcased his love for the former (including homages to his beloved Verdi: the Requiem and Verdi aria collection). But Cieli di Toscana ("Tuscan Skies") marks a triumphant return to the pop idiom last explored on Sogno, offering a highly varied series of the kind of beautifully crafted contemporary melodies that initially won Bocelli acclaim.

The familiar cast of songwriter-collaborators (including Francesco Sartori, responsible for the smash success "Time to Say Goodbye") mixes with new blood; Bocelli himself unveils his songwriting talents on "Il Diavolo e l'Angelo." It's a highly produced affair, but behind all the gloss, Bocelli sings with a newfound, relaxed, even mellow quality. There are intimately touching moments--"L'Incontro," a tribute to his first son featuring Bocelli's own poetry as read by U2's Bono--as well as soaring flights of lyricism (the duet "L'Abitudine" with Italian singer Helena). And on "Mascagni," with its quotes from that composer's operas, Bocelli makes another nod to his classical affinities. But whatever the style, Bocelli is a singer who knows how to go straight to his listeners' hearts. --Sarah Chin

Album Description

Exclusive UK version of Bocelli's third pop release includes the exclusive bonus track 'Tornera La Neve' and CD-ROM. The album also features 'L'Incontro' a duet with Gerard Depardieu. David Foster co-composes some of the tracks on this album as well. 2001.

Just what it says. See my other Andrea Bocelli reviews to get the idea I really like this guy.

Emotional therapy!.......2007-05-14

"He is all heart; there's no pretense. You can feel it." No kidding. These were my mom's last comments about Bocelli two months before she left earthly existence.

This album helped me process a lot of emotional residue affiliated with the strain of difficult dynamics between my mom and myself.

Don't get me wrong. The music isn't sad; it's pure heart and emotion, so it may evoke emotions. The last cut, "L'Ultimo Re" is gorgeous with the way his voice soars!

E.A. Davis, author: Waiting for Wings: Accompanying a Parent to the Edge of Life

Great music!.......2006-12-18

I bought the album before listening to any of the songs, because i'm a Bocelli fan. I was not disappointed. Wonderful melodies, beautiful voice.My personal favourites are Melodramma, Chiara and Resta Qui, but this is a great cd overall.

Cieli di Toscana.......2006-08-25

There is no other voice quite like Andrea's voice. I keep listening to this CD over and over as some of the songs just touch my heart, both with his voice and the written arrangements. One of my very favorites from Andrea. He has the same qualities to his voice with popular songs as he does with opera. When following the English translations in the CD case, the message of each song becomes very clear through the inflections and tonal quality of his voice.

LOVE IT!!!!.......2006-08-25

What more can I say once agian a total great cd, that will sure to become my favorite and my kids love it too!!! Ages 5, 8, and 15. WOW>>>>> Pleases all ages,LOVE IT LOVE LOVE IT

whoa! September rules!.......2007-06-10

the video for 'Satellites' just blew me away!! i'm telling you---watching her dance in that white dress was a mind blower! i was able to watch the video on you-tube because i never could get the one on the cd to work.

the CD has about 10 songs on it---all good. the cd also has two videos on it, 'Satellites' and 'Looking for Love'. for the life of me, i can't figure out how to view them. i've tried every multimedia player known to man and none of them will work. it's frustrating to the max---you'd think they would've put these two multimedia files in a format Windows Media Player could recognize.

oh well. other than not being able to play the videos, the CD is awesome.

One of Sweden's best new imports........2007-01-09

21 year old Petra Marklund has recorded what could be a very good contender for pop album of the year and dance album of the year of 2006. I discovered this artist by recommendation and I am tickled.

This album has the disctinctive Swedish pop sound which I looove. At the same time she has a disco sound going on. The well produced beats and instrumentation provide great foil to Petra's powerful vocals. It's refreshing for a female singer to have a strong voice in dance music.

"Satellites" the obvious hit off the album is dance-pop perfection. Think A* Teens meets old-school Britney Spears but with stronger vocals. It is the strongest and might be the best track on the album but each track is a winner. Some tracks are growers but giving them time their greatness will sink in.

"Looking for Love" has a blatant disco sound but it's much better than the crap that permeates our ears and brains. The general American public has really bad taste in music. In Europe, namely Scandinavia. They know good music and know how to make it. I am thankful to have discovered this artist.
"Flowers on the Grave" is an above standard pop ballad. It's much better than what we are subject to day in and day out by American pop culture.
Other standout tracks include, "It Doesn't Matter", "Good Times" and "Midnight Tonight" It's nothing groundbreaking or necessarily new but it's not good. It's great.

the other side..........2006-12-13

If Alice Deejay had an ounce of credibility this would have been her release. It sounds like 2001. It's dancey pop music. It's not electro in any way.

I will try to never listen to this cd again. The only reason I give it 2 stars is because the production value is above average.

I can see why young girls like this. I may give it to my niece.

My new FAVORITE cd!!! .......2006-08-11

From the moment you start the first track to the last you are hooked. The songs are infectious and the rythms have you wanting to dance. You can't help but to sing along and move to the beat. It was by chance that I came across hearing satellites and I was hooked in an instant. If you like fresh music with a twist of disco and dance-pop than you can't go wrong with this CD. You will not be dissapointed.

This CD has it all! Well produced, great lyrics, and fantastic voice!

Stellar dance pop.......2006-04-19

I had unknowingly already heard of September when I listened to Robbins' "Dance Party like it's 2006" compilation, which features "Satellites". I didn't know I would come to love the song at the time, but upon reflection, I can say that I enjoyed it even then.

This album is really hard to dislike. It doesn't have the obnoxious, repetetive, neverending beats like Cascada, or the whiny voice of Edmee' in DHT. The beats and melodies are all blended rather well, and the singer's voice is strong and very very easy to enjoy. At no point in this album does September take themselves too seriously, and that is HUGELY important in any genre, but definitely in dance.

"Satellites", the song everyone should know, is more electro than anything else, but I could see where people would get disco and house from. It's very poppy, and a wonderful song. "Flowers on the Grave" is one of the slower songs, still beautiful, still a great listen. "It Doesn't Matter" is more of a disco song, featuring some guitars thrown in with the "shake your ass like you just don't care" dance beats.

A previous reviewer said that "Midnight Heartache" sounded familiar. This is because the song features a "Bette Davis Eyes" sample as the musical background. Also, Mylo used the same sample for his "In Your Arms" song. September treats the music as a canvas, and they paint quite a song overtop of it. "Midnight Heartache" is one of my favorites. "Sacrifice" is your typical dance-pop fare, but again those vocals are amazing and they drag you by the ear drum.

All in all, I highly recommend this to anyone with an ear for gorgeous female vocals, or for a penchant to dance. This will not disappoint.

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Amazon.com essential recording

From the evocative cover painting to the impeccably chosen songs within, this 1965 album harkens back to Sinatra's great Capitol-era concept albums like In the Wee Small Hours and Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely. The theme revolves around a man approaching his 50s, looking back with a mixture of nostalgia, regret, and uncertainty; given Sinatra's age at the time (he was 49 when this was recorded) and the way he invests himself in the material, it's impossible to interpret the record as anything but autobiographical. Wistful numbers such as "Don't Wait Too Long," "It Was a Very Good Year," "September Song," and the title track all hit the emotional bull's-eye, but everything here is excellent. Unquestionably his finest Reprise-era achievement. --Dan Epstein

Customer Reviews:

Words aren't enough praise for this one.......2007-05-09

This is one amazing, fascinating and incredible disc--for a man in or nearing the September of his years it is especially so.

Today I had occasion to think of this disc fondly as I was checking out some groceries at the market. There, at the register was a very beautiful young lady and briefly my mind wandered away to enjoy her stunnning face and sweet demeanor. Seconds later, reality took hold and I at once thought of this Sinatra disc.

All of these incredibly heartfelt songs touch on the fondest memories of a man's life in such a great way. It's hard to explain but these songs leave you in such a beautiful state of appreciation and indeed acceptance of your lot in life, even if life has not turned out completely to your liking.

If you like Frank, just buy this and listen. What more can I say. Words just don't do it justice. To me, it's so much more than just an album.

You'll find yourself smiling at beauty of all sorts with great ease.

Just don't try to explain your completely wholesome smile to the 22-year-old checker girl at the market. She won't get it.

September of my Years - Sinatra.......2007-01-12

Frank at his best, older guy remembering the vintage years of youth. If you like Sinatra, you must have this album!

For any man with a past........2006-08-16

Profoundly moving without being maudlin. A must have for any Sinatra fan over 45 years of age. Sit back and relax; Sinatra at his best!

It isn't just for the ones who heard it in 1965.......2006-01-10

This will last forever. The years of Frank Sinatra have gone the way of the years of small town girls and soft summer nights - but they are equally worth remembering. To say Frank Sinatra was the greatest interperative artist in the history of music still doesn't get the point across. Francis Albert Sinatra was THE entertainer of all time. I like Bing, Ella, Tony Bennett, Billie Holliday, ect., and I do my very best (to no avail) to understand how certain people can enjoy listening to Elvis and the Beatles, but there simply is no equal in singing a song without artificial theatricals (Streisand), a belting, blaring lack of subtlety and taste(Bobby Darin) and plain-old boredom-inducing blandness(Andy Williams, anyone?).
When I began listening to Frank Sinatra at the age of 11(I'm 14, now), I obviously wasn't exactly ready for the ultra-melancholy despair of ''None But the Lonely Heart.'' My taste was more in the general category of ''Life's a Trippy Thing''(which includes ''Hello birdies, hello spring," in its lyrics), ''High Hopes,"and ''You're Awful" from ''On the Town''. But now I know very well that the true essence of Sinatra isn't ''Witchcraft'' and ''Learnin' the Blues,'' and that if that was the only type of material he was capable of singing he would now be known in history as the guy just a notch above Perry Como and Dean Martin. Some singers are out there to sing about accentuating the positive and eliminating the negative, but Sinatra....was not.
''It Was a Very Good Year'' ranks along with ''I'm a Fool to Want You'' and ''The End of a Love Affair'' as one of the most autobiographical songs of his career. It is four minutes and twenty-eight seconds of Frank Sinatra's life. THAT is what made Frank Sinatra different from any other singer. If what he sings about in his recordings did not at some time in some way happen to him, he was definitely the greatest actor in American music history. The ironic amusement in ''The Man in the Looking Glass,'' the aching remembrances of a love lost in ''Hello Young Lovers.'' And always an air of a sad, but not despairing, wistful look at life.
Apart from the emotional aspect, his voice is magnificent on this album. An interesting thing about Sinatra is that if you do not know the song he is singing, you can still track it down to the exact year by his voice. The texture of his voice-the quality that makes him never boring- is in ''September of My Years'' an essential part of the very atmosphere of the album; worn from hard living, drinking, and smoking, in itself a constant reminder that the man singing about ''Once Upon A Time,'' has had a million once upon a times to mark him forever.
The days of wine and roses and the days of Frank Sinatra are gone forever, but, in a way, they can never truly be gone. There will always be the memories of what they meant and mean to all of us, young or old- those songs of heartbreak and love and loneliness and the eternal Wee Small Hours of the Morning. And there will always be the moments when someone, somewhere, will hear the words,''When I was seventeen, it was a very good year...''

Essential Sinatra.......2005-12-16

Frank Sinatra's later recordings cannot match the wistful brilliance of this 1965 album. "September of My Years" has only improved with age -- thanks to Sinatra's effortless commitment and Gordon Jenkins' beautiful arrangements. The Chairman of the Board rarely sounded better.

Album Description

As the eight-piece Brooklyn collective Hem releases their second full-length album, Eveningland, their reputation precedes them as one of the most distinctive and emotionally rewarding bands in American music. Hem's homespun blend of vintage Americana, country/folk and chamber music made its 2002 independently released debut Rabbit Songs a critical success, inviting musical and lyrical comparisons to everyone from Dusty Springfield to Randy Newman to Aaron Copland. On Eveningland, recorded during their brief tenure with the ill-fated Dreamworks label, the band shows how deeply they've matured as musicians and songwriters. Eveningland, produced by Messé and guitarist Gary Maurer, updates the rustic charm of Rabbit Songs as references to bygone folk tunes give way to sonic touchstones from another classic era. "These songs have more of a relationship to the `60s and early `70s. We're all in love with that Countrypolitan sound," Messé says reverently referring to! classics like Ray Charles' Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music, and albums by Glen Campbell and even the Carpenters. Produced by Gary Maurer and Dan Messe.

Absolutely Exquisite!.......2007-06-19

This group is one of life's more pleasant surprises! I first heard Sally's exquisite voice on Liberty Mutual's commercial. I was immediately attracted to the pure beauty of her voice coupled with the outstanding musicianship of the overall group. Her voice is hauntingly similar to someone of long ago; a more pleasant era of time shall we say? Does anyone remember Doris Day? Well; Sally's voice is amazing similar in her beautiful vocal presentations.
I pre-ordered their album "Home Again, Home Again" specifically for the song "The Part Where You Let Go!" In the mean time; I also ordered their latest album; Funnel Cloud. It is an outstanding album, but; on reading the reviews for Hem, I decided to purchase Eveningland, and; am I ever glad I did! I like it best between the two. Anyway; treat yourself to some outstanding relaxing vocals and harmony, coupled with music that will lift you up!

Excellent.......2007-06-11

I love this CD so much I gave it as a gift to my boss. It is awesome!

Enchanting.......2007-01-13

It is difficult to paint a picture of such intricately crafted music by such talented and obviously dedicated artists.

From the delicately assembled "Fire Thief" to the more powerful "Strays" and "Redwing" to the haunting "Pacific Street" and the stirring "Eveningland", this album contains an array of emotions unmatched by many others, all conveyed in a beautifully understated, natural manner - no obvious synthesizers (perhaps none at all), no digital nonsense, no wannabe pop diva belting out lyrics. Only beautiful, soothing music that comes from the artists' hearts and invariably finds its way to the listener's heart as well.

I can't think of a better album to listen to while sipping hot chocolate and watching the snow fall.

Thank you to the people who do advertising at Liberty Mutual for exposing me to this band.

Folk at it's best.......2006-03-16

Eveningland and The Rabbit Songs both possess a melodic sincerity to them that never slides into sentimentality, i.e. Emo and any country music written after 1974). It is American music used to its best affect: examining the interiors of the soul for the young and rapturous of heart. I would also recommend Wilco's first four and Neko Case's last two albums.
-Enjoy.

Hem come into their own in this album.......2005-10-05

They become more of the band they were trying to emulate in their previous CD.

Jack Johnson is one talented man. When he's not surfing or recording laid-back, rootsy rock jams like those on his debut, Brushfire Fairytales, he's filming award-winning movies about surfing like the September Sessions. Oh, and naturally, he has a hand in its soundtrack, an eclectic and relaxing array of jam-band improvisation, bluesy licks, and jazz-flecked rhythms. Johnson's solo contributions, including a cover of Jimmy Buffett's "Pirate Looks at 40," are stripped-down acoustic numbers with as much understated grace as Jeff Buckley. Other artists opt for more adornment, like Ozomatli's percussive reggae/hip-hip fusion, the Bollywood funk horn rave-up "Ganges a Go-Go," and the hands-down highlight, Greyboy and Karl Denson collaborating on a hypnotic bite of modern jazz driven by funky, spring-fresh flute loops. Sublime may have been the forbearer of breezy oceanside atmosphere, but this fantastic soundtrack takes laissez faire vibes to new levels--and emerges as yet another building block in the foundation of Jack Johnson's rapidly emerging chill-out empire. --Annie Zaleski

What the heck?.......2006-05-04

Yo, You guys have got to understand that there are more people behind this film than just Jack Johnson. He's a talented guy but hes not the only one. Some of the new bands on this cd are awesome and they sound great with the movie. Remember that this isnt a studio album, its a soundtrack. Everyone seems to be looking for another jack johnson album here....and thats just not what it is.

This may not be what you're looking for.......2005-08-05

First, this is not a bad disc. It's listenable; BUT if you are looking for other individuals or groups who sound like Jack Johnson, you will be disappointed. The musicians here are a talented, but fairly diverse group and "Thicker Than Water" is, indeed, superior to this.

very soothing.......2005-07-28

If you are a fan of outdoor concerts in the summertime, lying on the grass, eyes closed, music flowing over you, stars shining in the sky...you will love this album. Jack Johnson and G love fans will not be let down.

so-so.......2005-07-07

a good cd if youre out on the road for a while, relaxing, songs are all right but nothing fantastic.

Good, but "Thicker that Water" is better........2005-01-08

I totally agree with Annie Z's review. This is another fun CD of Jacks- OK, mostly Jacks. I like his Jimmy Buffet remake, and G.Loves Willow Tree, all of the September Sessions input. Jack again reminds us to have fun, relax, have some quality in our thinking, and take it easy.

Television Meets Psych Rock Meets Spaghetti Western.......2007-06-19

Each of the Paisley Underground bands seemed to have their own little slant on the sounds of the movement, which was about bringing guitar-driven, psychedelic music back to the fore in the synth-heavy 80s. True West's bent was a little hard to figure. There were the duelling guitar wizards, Tolman and McGrath, who sounded more like Verlaine and Lloyd than any 1960s guitarists. There was the feeling of the old West, not just in the band's name but in their sound and feel - something that put you in mind of tan chinos, shoe boots with spurs, shots of rye at the local saloon, and lots of dirt. Then there was the psychedelic thing - the cover of Pink Floyd's "Lucifer Sam," the sometimes trippy lyrics, the spiralling guitar lines . . . In the liner notes to this compilation of True West's best material, it is suggested that they hit their peak on the full-length album, Drifters. But that album, despite its excellent opening track, "Look Around," pales in comparison to the EP, Hollywood Holiday. The eight songs on the EP represented all of the best elements of True West - the songs seem fresh, they keep you guessing what might come next, each one has its own little angle on the whole picture the band was presenting then. The album, meanwhile, gets tired after the third or fourth track, and feels like a labor from there. And the three tracks produced by Tom Verlaine thrown on at the end are notweworthy for historical reference, but otherwise pretty unremarkable. If you were into the Paisley Underground thing when it was happening, or if you just like guitar-heavy psychedelic rock, you will absolutely want to pick up this CD. Just be prepared to hear a combination of inspired gems and sludge.

Making The World Safe For Guitars.......2007-06-15

Back in the early-mid '80s, there was talk that the electric guitar was going to go the way of the dinosaur and the dodo bird to replaced by keyboards, computers and things. Bands like True West took a stand and helped save the six-string from the onslaught of the MIDI monster. The dueling guitar duo of Richard McGrath and Russ Tolman was on par with Television's Verlaine and Lloyd, in fact Tom Verlaine was so impressed with True West that he produced three tracks, which are luckily included as bonus tracks on this two-for reissue of the band's first two albums: Hollywood Holiday and Drifters. Drawing inspiration from Syd Barrett era Floyd, 40s film noir, the Beck and Page era Yardbirds, late night 80s cable TV, the San Francisco Sound, and the Mercury space program, True West created a couple classic albums that sound fresh and vital today.

Great 80's psychedelic.......2007-06-11

I own both the original EP and LP on vinyl, the EP is more feedback laden, the LP was, I don't know, more laid back, but w/good dual guitar songs. Both EP and LP appear to be on this CD, so enjoy!

September All Over.......2007-07-17

This album is September's first one. Before this I had bought "In Orbit" which also very good but this is even better! There's such great dance music - just unbelievable. There's no ballads - just pure dance music with great female vocals. I don't know who the singer is - but I'd like to know because it is not mentioned. Anyway, she sings perfectly. This album is well-produced, and the songs are just awesome. Anoo Bhagavan is a guest vocalist on "Love for Free" which is a great closing track. All the songs in this album are great!

Customer Reviews:

some brilliant renditions, but can't quite all mix together.......2006-10-19

I like the spirit of this album, which is to let the music of Kurt Weill attach itself to the many worlds it came from. This was classical music that also used elements of popular music at the time, all with a very dark and almost mechanical tone. So it would seem fitting to have exquisite voices like Teresa Stratas rub elbows with darker elements like Nick Cave in this collection. There are also the jazz influences developed by Charlie Haden and Betty Carter.

In all, there are some brilliant interpretations of Weill here. I am a fan of Cave's "Mack the Knife" and David Johansen's "Alabama Song," and how can someone NOT like Lotte Lenya herself on "Pirate Jenny" and the drolling of the immortal William S. Burroughs talking through "What Keeps Mankind Alive?"

But other tracks feel to be just too short of brilliance. I love that Lou Reed tries to turn "September Song" into a kind of rock ballad, almost a VU "It Was a Pretty Good Year," but the rendition seems a little short of energy and falls flat after a while. Elvis Costello, though magnificent as an overall artist, just doesn't bring new life to "Lost in the Stars."

Perhaps the problem in the end that the choices were a little too much of the Top 40 Weill (if there really can be such a term). These are songs that have for a long time been regarded as the best of Weill, and it might have furthered the purpose of his music to find new gems and bring them into the sunlight.

Cool and Camp.......2006-08-24

This is a very biased review- I originally had much of Weill's work on cassette tape- way back in the olden days- before CD's- so I am already very partial to many of the tracks on this CD- I would recommend it not only to Kurt Weill fans, and the fans of the various artists featured, but I would also strongly recommend this to anyone who likes artsy, camp, fun burlesque, Bohemian European stuff. The record, even though performed by contemporary artists still retains much of it's zeitgeist, it evokes the era in which Weill was writing and it rounds out any great eclectic record collection. It's a great musical discovery for fans of all sorts of genres, and EVERYONE should own at least one recorded arrangement of "Mack The Knife". (You know, for parties and stuff!)

September Song Music of Kurt Weill.......2006-08-22

Songs from the film-documentary done by various artists. Excellent choice if you like Mr Weill's music. I saw the film and always wanted the CD. Now I have and I recommend it highly.

It's a long time between January and December.......2004-06-11

Kurt Weill is one of those composers who juggles Jewish angst with Catholic guilt: and possibly vice versa. As a collection, it is nonpareil. Each interpretation becomes a definitive reading of the "song". Lord, it is one of the best assemblies of contemporary artists going. Lou couldn't be better; Ms O'Hara, in fine form, performs her deranged puppet-dance to the X. OK. An unknown. Roping-in, such a postmodern figure as, well, you-know-who, to orate Weill's lyrics is never less than exceptional. An amazing collection. Is there a DVD?

Paul

Ain't we Hip?!!?.......2003-07-23

This is the avant version of these songs, everything done with that Downtown fingers-across-the-blackboard screech. They even got Johanson doing it, which is no less than amazing. The sole exception is the Persuasions' "O Heavenly Salvation", but one song does not an album make.

The mystery here is that there's a perfectly good compilation from the 80s, "Lost in the Stars: the Music of Kurt Weill", featuring many of the same songs--and, if I'm not mistaken some of the same performers. That's the one you want. Too bad it's OP.
