Awesome!.......2006-07-25

Luciano Pavarotti may be 70 odd, but that's no excuse for this extremely talented singer to stop one little bit. His voice is unique and warm, the songs are mostly cheery and upbeat.

1. IL CANTO (the chant)- a supreme uplifting ballad. Pavarotti is at his best throughout the song. 10/10.
2. NEAPOLIS (Naples)- not my favourite, but still well sung. 7/10
3. STARAI CON ME (You'll be with me)- another beautiful song with a lovely chorus. 9/10
4. TI ADORO (I adore you)- a somewhat strange background beat, but still the nearest thing to happy I've heard in a while. 8/10
5. NOTTE (Night)- a moving, heartfelt song. Pavarotti struggles a little bit to reach the eternal high note, but still is able to pass the test comfortably. 9/10.
6. COME AQUILE (Like Eagles)- a fantastic song, which allows Pavarotti to show off his soothing voice. 10/10.
7. DOMANI VERRA (Tomorrow will come)- well sung, nothing much more than that. 7.5/10
8. BUONGIORNO A TE (Good morning to you)- uplifting, cheerful tune with some inventive parts. 8.5/10
9. AI GIOCHI ADDIO (Farewell to your games)- a sad song with a lot of emotion from Luciano. 9/10
10. STELLA (Star)- another cheery song, slightly painful in parts. 8/10
11. TU E IL TUO MARE (It's you and your ocean)- an exquisite song which Pavarotti glides through imperially. 10/10.
12. IL GLADIATORE (The gladiator)- widely regarded to be one of the best songs on the album. Quite right. 10/10.
13. CARUSO- a very good song to finish with. Powerful and dramatic and from the depths of the heart. 9.5/10

GOOD:
Pavarotti is the only pensioner in the world to sing so well. No, probably the best person.
The songs feel like there being sung for a reason, unlike many modern singers who sing with no feeling whatsoever and hope when they release their song they might earn a bit of money.
This CD makes a good gift for everyone, because he is so famous and well-liked.
Good guidebook; lyrics in Italian and English plus a welcome note in 4 different languages.

BAD:
Pavarotti may make you cringe very occasionaly with his waring voice.

Still going strong........2004-09-11

Pavarotti's latest album is wonderful. Here's a collection of love songs that only the "Voice" can enhance. I've been a fan of Pavarotti for a few years now, and he'll always be a singer of opera to me. Still, I find it refreshing for him to explore new styles and genres at his age. The songs are beautiful, my favorites being Il Gladiatore and Come Aquile. Oh, how can one choose? They're all great.

Some odd choices, but still he has the master's voice.......2003-12-04

Pavarotti fans who only know him from the Three Tenors recordings may like this very much. There is lots of drama, and of course, the unique Pavarotti timbre, as well as phrasing by a master. On the song "Caruso" it would be nice to hear more of the renowned and accomplished guitarist Jeff Beck, rather than the teasing bits of background fare provided. That said, the collaboration is inspired, although Beck is the only one revealing the stretch of his artistic limits in this performance. Pavarotti's big risk on this album is the title song, which fails miserably. It sounds like a bizarre attempt at opera-singer-does-1960s-style-swinging-TV-jazz. Sometimes art works and sometimes it doesn't. Were no insiders brave enough to tell the producer and performer this was way off the mark? Listeners who love Pavarotti for his magnificent operatic performances may be disappointed in this endeavor, but it is still a joy for me to listen to him. The voice is worn a bit and aging, but it is still unmatched for sheer beauty of tone.

The voice, it must be said, is under great strain, but hard-core Pavarotti fans might want this anyway. There are lots of recording gimmicks--echoes, reverberation, overdubbing--and, at times, Pavarotti tries a jazzy style at which he's not very good. There's a big high C at the close of one song which is uncomfortable but shows a certain bravery, and the final song is sung in a sort of Sting-like high register which sounds totally alien. Those who never heard Pavarotti before 1990 will have no idea what all the fuss was about if they judge him by this CD; those who have loved and/or admired him all these years may be saddened and puzzled. An oddity, to be sure. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:

TI ADORO, LUCIANO!.......2007-04-16

I love "Ti Adoro" and I love my Luciano! I don't know what all the nitpicking is about. Pavarotti is one of the best and way above what other tenors can ever dream to be in their lifetime. My very favorites are "Il Canto", "Ti Adoro", "Buongiorno a Te" and "Caruso." My beloved
Pavarotti will always be #1 with me. Gob bless you, Maestro. Ti Adoro!

Do not understand all of the complaining!.......2006-02-20

I have most all of Pavarotti,Carreras,Domingo and Bocelli.Love them all and Ti Adoro is my favorite of Pavarotti's works.

retirement seems like the best option for big pav.......2004-12-17

While most of the songs on this album are very well written, with catchy and touching melodies, the once-great Pavarotti has lost it. His age is clearly apparent in his voice, and while he can still sing, his upper register once so thrilling, is now, at times, cringe inducing, at one noteable point, on the final note of the Il Gladiotore (the theme song from the movie Gladiator), in which Pavarotti hits a high C, which is nearly a full semitone wide in vibrato and he drops in pitch a full tone when he comes off the note. This partcular note is, amoung others, quite disgusting, and ruins one of the best-sung songs on the CD.
Probably the most enjoyable track on the album is the title track "Ti Adoro" which is a bouncy jazz-style number, and while Pavorotti doesn't alter the tone and timbre in his voice at all to sing this very different style, it is alot of fun.
The final track, "Caruso", the heartbreaking, celebrated popera number about the death of the great tenor Enrico Caruso, is probably the most disappointing on the album. Pavarotti does it in such a ridiculously high key that any enjoyment that could be derived from this beautiful song is obliterated by the strained, harsh sound from his aged vocal chords, as he pushes himself past his current limits and sing numerous, very ugly high Cs.
Another highlight of the album is the catchy "Buogoiurno a Te" (forgive my spelling), which is almost as much fun as Ti Adoro, with Pavarotti giving another decent performance.
But, all in all, this CD was a massive let down after all the hype amoung Pavarotti fans
It is worth getting, but only for the few tracks which are worth listening to. Get it for some of the great songs, not the singer.
I'm glad to hear Luciano Pavarotti is retiring next year at age 70. He is just to old to continue singing like he used to be able to.

this CD grows on you, big time.......2004-11-20

A Pavarotti fan, I bought this CD, took it home and listened to it once, then wondered who I could palm it off on, or maybe return it to the store. Then, a few weeks later, I put it as background for my writing work. I found myself not minding some of the songs. The next day I put it on again, again in the background. Then, I started listening to it every day. It grows on you. The songs come through upon repeated listening. I listen to Bach, Beethoven, Puccini, etc., but am a sucker for stirring movie soundtracks; and this CD has that kind of effect.

(Another great CD that grows on you to the point of not being able to live without it, is Bryn Terfel's Wales CD. Great, stirring, moving.)

Interesting!.......2004-10-05

Hmmmm...so the great tenor Pavarotti decided to go "Popera" in the twilight of his long and phenomenally illustrious career?!

There are a few things to be said about this CD and I'm sure die hard fans of Maestro Pavarotti will take me off their X-mas card lists this year.

To begin with, this is not a very good CD in that the song selection is uneven and..well...boring for the most part.
Maestro Pavarotti's singing is still above and beyond what most tenor's can ever hope to attain in a lifetime, but there are definite and immutable signs of aging and at times he sounds like a bad imitation of his former self.

Again, why the aging maestro choose to do "pop" in the first place and then with such sub-par material is beyond me.

There are a few songs that stand out, namely "Notte" and "Caruso". "Caruso" has been heavily critizesed because of the Maestro's decision to NOT sing it operatically, rather with a more "Pop" like tone.
This is precisely why I like the track. It's different and by and far the most "modern" sounding on the CD.

Overall the CD isn't a failure, but neither is it what one would expect from one of the pre-eminent tenors of all time...even within the confines of the "Popera" genre. On the other hand, how many tenors other than Domingo still perform much less record in their late sixties? None,and perhaps both Maestro's Pavarotti and Domingo ought to take that final bow from the limelight, but that's not relevant to this review.

My verdict is that if you want "Popera" go with Bocelli, Safina, Frangoulis, Watson or Amante...not Pavarotti. Maestro Pavarotti is and always will be one of the greatest OPERATIC tenors of all time.

On a final note, this CD may well be worth purchasing simply because it is very likely the last new recording as well as the first non-operatic CD by Maestro Pavarotti. At over 70 years of age, I doubt even the great Pavarotti will attempt to make anymore commercial recordings. Collectors beware!

Like his namesake, the New York-born Puerto Rican singer Elvis Crespo has been shakin' it up in the Latin tropical musical world as an ex-member of Grupo Mania and as a solo artist since 1998. This CD, his fifth solo album, updates his swinging, city-slicked meringue grooves. The track "La Cerves" features two trombones, while "Que Se Repitas" and "Bandidas," with the rapper Tempo and DJ Black, spotlight catchy guitar licks and piano vamps. "Bailalo" swings with some jazzy rhythmic twists and, like the title track from his big hit Suavemente, transports the peppery pulsations of the meringue into the land of pop with its syncopated citizenship intact. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Customer Reviews:

it's true what they say about cloning..........2003-09-19

In science fiction one always reads how the successive clones get weak and wonky, and their good qualities get diluted; the same syndrome seems to be happening to Elvis Crespo, who started out in 1998 with the terrific "Suavemente", which though it had its faults, was full of promise and a 5 star effort."Urbano" is a huge disappointment, and as a copy of a copy of a copy, the melodic content is dull and repetitive, and his voice, which was never golden, has not exactly improved.

Yes, it is a good dance CD, because his band is great; the rhythm and brass sections are superb, and Freddie Mendez on piano utterly marvelous, but unfortunately, the material they have to work with is boring, and there are many other dance albums available more worthy of your time and money. Track # 12, "Como Fingir", is "unplugged", with some nice acoustic guitar work by Ito Serrano, but I cannot imagine what they were thinking to include this song as part of the recording. It is a miserable embarassment, with Elvis completely out of his depth as a slow ballad singer.
Track # 14 is a duet with Sergio Vargas, the well-known merenguero from la Republica Dominicana, who has a unique, smooth voice, but he is better heard on his solo CDs.
The insert is a fold-out with the lyrics and recording info, and stylish photos of Elvis, who is certainly cute, and quite a chick magnet. The sound is fine, and total time 54'55.

Good production, bad voice.......2003-09-02

As with Suavemente, Urbano benefits from a good prouduction with some hot merengue songs. As far as I can tell, that is, with just one listening.

The problem is that I simply can not stand Elvis Crespo's voice. I find it nasal and abrasive to such an extent that listening to these songs was starting to drive me nuts.

Reading other reviews I find some people are in agreement with this, while others feel differently. I guess his is a voice you either love or hate, and you will have to decide for yourself.

If only Manny Manuel had recorded this album. His voice, by contrast, is like honey from the Gods.

I love his smile.......2003-05-09

Elvis Crespo dances his way into your heart with humor and passion. And he's got that sonrisa that will make you melt.

"Boricua De Verdad"!.......2003-01-11

This CD is the hottest one he's ever made! I like his first hit single "Bandida" and "Besame En La Boca", because it makes just turn up the volume and dance!

Not the real thing ...........2002-06-25

This is definitely not the real thing. This is a luke warm copy...with a face, some moves and music "produced" to be MTV generation compatible eyeing the non-latin market.... but forget packageing and dig the real stuff, from which this youngster is living off: Los Hermanos Rosarios and "El Cuco", . Definitely not your MTV faces, because they are "feo"...., but much hotter....

Sorry guys, wrong CD..........2006-09-26

The previous reviews for this item were, somehow, meant for another item! This item is "Four German Sopranos", not tenors! Pay attention! :)

Viva Montagnana!!.......2004-05-17

Four tenors, Four styles. So much has been said about Gigli, that I can`t really add anything new, other than that I find his singing, the more I hear it, mannered and selfconcious. His famous silvery mezza-voce to me sounds disconnected almost child-like. BUT! If he were to sing today, the world would proclaim him "the umpteenth Tenor!!" Lauri Volpi: Focussed, explosive, virile and almost always thrilling. Now the Montagnana-boys: Martinelli, "The big Bugle" as he was known in New York, is an acquired taste. He has a vibrato very typical of that time, fast and a little tight, and can sound a little bleaty. But listen again, and you`ll be rewarded. He can really spin a line, make the text tell and hits you right in the gut with his timbre. As further listening, I`d recommend the live Otello from the Met with Tibbett and Rethberg. Wonderful!! Now, to the most neglected of all great singers of all time. The most thrilling, visceral, even-voiced. He can carry the lightest pianissimo in any range and make it spin and spin and... He can sing so loudly he`ll pin you to your seat. The voice has presence and ring, what the italians call "squillo" that you can reach out and touch. The voice is focussed like a laser, yet never sounds tight. Even in full flight there`s always some in reserve. Pertile, of course. This is not a dozen-instrument. You`ll never mistake him (or any of the others, for that matter) with any other singer. From the first note I ever heard from him, I have been spellbound. Everything I ever wished I could do and be, he does with consumate ease. You owe it to yourself to hear his "quando le sere al placido" from Luisa Miller. He sings lines that never end, goes from piano to forte in the same phrase without altering the timbre or colour.... I could go on for days, but I think you get the message: Buy this, or any other CD with Pertile and prepare to fall for a singer who would sweep the decks anywhere in the world today. It`s your loss if you don`t!

ONE GOLD, TWO SILVERS AND ONE BRONZE.......2001-05-16

Here we have four Italian tenors of the golden age, who captured world attention in that glorious past for their vocal and interpretative capacity. Other names that come to mind are Caruso, Zenatello, Grassi, Anselmi, Schipa, Paoli, De Muro, Merli and Bonci.

The four tenors on this superb CD have a lot in common. Born within seven years apart, between 1885 and 1892, they (except Pertile) sang at the Met, the temple of operatic singing. All of them displayed mezza voce and heroic top notes on the stage.

This CD has collected and handed to posterity their prowess, when the tenors were in their late thirties and at their prime. Interestingly, one may draw vocal attributes from their performances and make comparisons.

Martinelli displayed a heroic and massive, Pertile, a sage but hard-driven, Gigli, an elegiac or turgid and Lauri-Volpi a robust, limpid and easily extended voice. The gold medal goes to Lauri-Volpi, the silver to Martinelli and Gigli, the bronze to Pertile.

I liked Martinelli in "Come un bel di di maggio"(Chenier) full of pathos, Pertile "Vesti la giubba" (Pagliacci) for great artistry, Gigli "Dai campi, dai prati" (Mefistofele) for inspired mysticism and Lauri-Volpi "Bianca al par di neve"(Les Huguenots) for unique mezza voce.

Lauri-Volpi gets top marks for "E lucevan le stelle"(Tosca) recorded in 1928, when he was at his artistic splendour. The painter Cavaradossi is not his conspiring and patriotic self. He is in prison, reminiscing Tosca's sweet hands, languid caresses and voluptuous appearance. Lauri-Volpi with an extraordinary, exquisite pianissimo sets up the mood before unleashing his despair with a powerful crescendo. It is an unsurpassed rendition of the great aria, as Puccini intended it.

lots of 1970s samba.......2005-08-26

This is an interesting recording from the 1970s. The liner notes have all lyrics and a full-page historical essay by Joyce in Portuguese. The songs tend to alternate between one with Joyce and her guitar, and two short songs of voices (led by Joyce) backed by a samba percussion ensemble. Then another ballad with guitar and voice, then 2 more rousing samba pieces, and so on. There's no jazz influence, strings, or backing band as in many of her recordings. For the most part it's her and guitar, or her and more singers and samba percussion ensemble.

Joyce co-wrote the last song, other songs are by other composers. I've got 200 Brazil CDs and never heard any of these songs before; they apparently were popular in Brazil a few decades ago, but are not the worn-out, played-to-death songs you sometimes hear. (In other words, it was all fresh to me.)

I think few or none of the songs on this recording are included on Joyce's various Greatest Hits compilations so they'll probably be fresh to you too.

This is pretty different from a typical recording by Joyce. If, however, you think she's a premier singer (and you like samba), you'll like the album a lot. It was re-released on CD in 2003, original date is 1976-77.
