Amazon.com essential recording

From his childhood on the family farm in rural Tuscany to the worldwide stage, Andrea Bocelli has achieved phenomenal success. His singing is only partially the point, and his fame owes much more to the aura of romance and the romantic archetype that's attached to him. Romanza is by far Bocelli's largest success, winning adoration thanks to the swooning vocals and the easy, sometimes lush, always pop-safe instrumental textures and melodies. As far as his opera chops go, Bocelli has won the approval of Pavarotti but likely will not wow enthusiasts. The upside is that Bocelli will likely grow the opera pie, convincing labels to take on more operatic projects. --Andrew Bartlett

5 out of 5 stars Bias I Confess.......2007-07-06

I confess to loving Italian music and opera in addition to Rock & Roll, Country and music in general.

This music is good when you want to relax or have a lady over 40 you want to entertain.

3 out of 5 stars An Italianized Englishman..........2007-06-01

Is the Devil incarnate." (Inglese italianato e un diavolo incarnate) Or so I've heard. I suppose the author (I read it in a copy of Machiavelli's The Prince) could be forgiven for not having heard Don Bocelli and Donna Brightman sing "Con Te Partiro" - can we now say Inglese italianata e un angelo incarnate?

The rest of the album is a collection of ballads, most of which suffer from weak or clashing instrumentals. An exception is "Macchine Da Guerra" which has a pleasant and comparatively strong piano accompaniment.

I'd like to thank Kenny McCormick of South Park, CO for turning me on to Don Bocelli.

5 out of 5 stars Romancing the listeners.......2007-05-30

What a voice, it soars with the arias and bops with the more contemporary. Especially love the song about Caruso. Andrea is un cantante bello, un uomo bello! Turn this one up with the top down and let it sing you home.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!.......2007-05-18

I bought this cd again after losing my original copy that I bought the year it was released. Out of all my Bocelli cds this is my favorite. It has a good mix of classic opera with popera and really shows his abilities. I have used this cd to turn people on to opera and popera, and the results have been incredible! Once you hear him, you cannot deny his talent and passion. Simply AMAZING!!!

4 out of 5 stars Andrea in the 90's.......2007-04-20

Andrea is incredible.His romantic poetry with music is unparalleled.The only downside to this album is the inescapable 90's feel.If you don't mind it,then buy this album.If you do,then buy 'Time To Say Goodbye'off iTunes and get Sogno,Andrea,or Cieli di Toscana.

It's no mean feat being the world's foremost crossover artist--a task that risks alienating two disparate audiences and everyone in between--but somebody had to do it, and Andrea Bocelli again walks that artistic tightrope with impressive deftness. The title may imply a casual intimacy (indeed, the singer admits to taking a more "hands-on" approach to the album's conception and production), but it's a collection that nonetheless continues to expand on the Italian tenor's ambitious internationalism. His collaboration "Sin Tu Amor" immerses his voice in the Gipsy Kings' own rich Iberian folk-pop fusion with compelling results, while "Where Love Goes" (a musical focal point of the film Lazarus Child), his English language duet with 11-year-old prodigy Holly Stell, achieves an almost liturgical grace. "Tu Ci Sei" (You Are There) continues in the romantic vein of his familiar theme "Con Te Partiro" (Time to Say Goodbye), while the single "Dell' Amore Non Si Sa" (With Love You Never Know) features Bocelli in a signature dramatic tour de force collaboration with arranger Mauro Malavasi, the accomplished producer of the singer's Romanza and Sogno albums. Bocelli's shrewd taste and vocal prowess here not only again redeem an oft-maligned genre, but elevate it considerably in the bargain. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars HOW DO YOU SAY,"WOW," IN ITALIAN?.......2007-06-22

BEFORE I START, LET ME SAY, THAT I AM A DANCE CLUB GUY AND THAT, ORDINARILY, THIS IS NOT MY KIND OF MUSIC. OF COURSE, I LAUGH AS I SAY THAT, AS, APPARENTLY, A NEW DOOR HAS OPENED IN MY LIFE, THANKS TO THIS MAN.
A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD HEARD ANDREA DO, "CON TE PARTIRO," ON A PBS SPECIAL AND MY EYES FILLED WITH TEARS THAT ANY HUMAN COULD MAKE SUCH SOUNDS. I WAS ASTOUNDED; MORE ASTOUNDING, STILL, WAS TO HEAR THIS ALBUM AND FIND THAT HIS VOICE HAD ACTUALLY VASTLY IMPOVED OVER TIME. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? " CON TE..," PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE QUALITY OF THIS WORK; THE TRACKS ON THIS CD ARE PERFECT, FULL, RICH, AND MORE MOVING THAN ANYTHING I HAVE EVER HEARD. I HAVE HAD IT A WEEK, NOW, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE FOR VERY LONG, AND I PLAY IT OVER AND OVER. IT HAS BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE I HAVE BEEN AFFECTED LIKE THIS BY ANY VOCAL CD. IF HE NEVER RECORDED AGAIN HE WOULD HAVE MADE A MARK ON THE WORLD OF AUDIO NEVER TO BE ERASED OR FORGOTTEN. WHAT A VOICE! WHAT SONGS! THE CUT, "LIBERTA," ABSOLUTELY KILLS ME WITH FEELINGS OF JOY AND MARVEL. I HAVE EVEN TAKEN UP STUDYING ITALIAN BECAUSE OF IT.
TREAT YOURSELF, AND A GOOD FRIEND, TO THE SOUNDS ON THIS CD. SIT AND WATCH A SUNSET WITH IT ON... I MEAN NOW!

5 out of 5 stars Just buy it........2007-05-30

If you like soft music that make's you feel up beat, just order a Andrea Bocelli CD. Listening to his CD's after being at work all day, is like having an option in life to hear and be somewhere else.

5 out of 5 stars Teamo, Andrea Bocelli .......2007-03-08

One of his best. Need the lyrics translated from the Italian to the English inside the casing next time. Nonetheless, Mr. Bocelli has a beautiful voice. It made my wife and all my female co-workers swoon when they listened to it.

4 out of 5 stars A new style from Andrea........2007-02-24

There were some ugly songs in here.(I absolutely hate to say that about anything Andrea.)But the good far outshone the bad.
Un Nouvo Giorno stunned me the first time I heard it.It was so unlike anything I had heard from Andrea- very pop.But it soon grew on me.
Liberta is amazing.Very catchy and upbeat.
Sempre O Mai is my favorite.It keeps its tempo up and has the best of Andrea and pop.Great song.

So this album was really a double album with pop and classical songs interspersed.A good mix from the master.

1 out of 5 stars Not happy with delivery (or non delivery) of this item.......2007-01-16

When I ordered this on 12/04/2006 they said I would have it before Christmas. Then right before Christmas the delivery date was changed to mid-January. So I had to cancel my order and go, at the last minute, buy it at a store because it was a Christmas present. I wasn't happy about it and won't be buying from amazon for the holidays any longer.

5 out of 5 stars A different kind of listening experience.......2005-11-23

I enjoy the singing of Andrea Bocelli and have most of his CDs. Listening from his earliest to this, his latest, it's remarkable to notice how his voice and delivery have strengthened and matured. Like his other pop albums, Andrea contains a series of new songs in a romantic vein. His English has improved to the point that he is now willing to record a bit in that language. Listening to his Italian selections, unless you speak that language, is a very musical experience in that you hear pure voice, melody and nuance in a way uncluttered by lyric and its literal meaning. The music on Andrea is beautiful and a pleasure to return to again and again.

5 out of 5 stars One of Bocelli's Best!!.......2005-04-16

I found this to be a another great CD by Bocelli. Great to listen to anytime and anyplace. The man has a beautiful voice.

5 out of 5 stars Incredible.......2005-01-17

I felt like I was transported to another realm when I was listening to his singing. His strong tenor voice is captivating and surely embodies squillo. There's too much to say. This cd is a must-have for classical listeners or "pop" listeners who enjoy ballads. This cd presents beautiful and soothing music that touches your heart. I'm still in shock from the music that I'm hearing in this cd.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!!!.......2005-01-06

WOW Andrea is truly a Beautiful CD. This is Andrea's 6th "pop" release (4th In the USA) and it is really his most "pop" album to date. The others are more "POPRA" a combination of tenor singing and POP, while this CD, Andrea, is pop through and through (with the exception of In canto, which is classical). It really shows Bocelli's versility to not only be a wonderful tennor but aslo a wonderful pop singer. Its one beautiful song after another.
hear is a song by song look at the CD,
1) Dell'Amore Non Si Sa Love it very melodrma-ish, it will be a HIT for sure.

2) L'Attesa. A very pretty song and very radio friendly

3) Un Nuovo Giorno. Has HIT written all over it, nice pop style singing.

4) Tu Ci Sei. Very Good song; ladies this is like Bo singing in your ear while your dancing with him :) Just picture that when you listen to this song. Great vocal control to sing so high and soft at the same time.

5) Sin Tu Amor. This is done in spanish, I LOVE IT, love the blend of vocals with Reyes (Of the Gypsy Kings) and the Guitar work. BIG BIG hit in latin areas for sure.

6) Liberta. very good but no con te partio, still very pretty.

7) Per Noi. very good, I like the way it goes up and down a scale. Its a Very romantic song.

8) Le Parole Che Non Ti Ho Detto. I LOVE it; its my favorite on the CD. One of his best chores' in music History, for sure, a beautiful song.

9) Sempre O Mai. Love it, very popish, very radio friendly, very familiar.

10) In Canto. A very Pretty song, very romanza-ish.

11) Quante Volte Ti Ho Cercato. Great song, it goes up and down a scale as well, my second fav on the CD.

12) When A Child Is Born, a good song also in english. It is in a westen sytle but ends with a heck of a good tennor note.

13) Go Where Loves Goes. In english, a beautiful duet with a yong new comer named Holly Stell, it will be huge.

Overall Andrea is a beautiful CD, you can put it on, sit back and get lost in the hills of Tuscany. This is a must have essential Bocelli CD.

5 out of 5 stars Andrea,warmth and freedom.......2004-12-26

Whenever I listen to his voice, especially for his pop music, I think of a saying, "Let me surround you with my love, and give you warmth and freedom." He fills my heart with warmth, and I feel I'm flying in the sky. He lights up my imagination and fantasy, I can see the sun rising on the horizon, the star shining in the peaceful night, I think there is so much hope in my own life, and so many beautiful things in the world.

5 out of 5 stars Unique.......2006-02-07

This is early vocal music very much in the style currently heard in groups like the Hilliard Ensemble and Tallis Scholars. It is very spacious-sounding and solemn, which makes sense- most of the music that we have preserved from hundreds of years ago was written for use in the church. Fortunately, the gravity of the works never stops this set from being thoroughly enjoyable, too. Archiv's sound is, as always, very good.

5 out of 5 stars A classic performance.......2003-02-28

This recording remains a classic, even if (as Daniel Leech-Wilkinson points out in his accompanying notes) some of Munrow's performance practices may be disputed today. This is, quite simply, a wonderful performance and a terrific sounding recording (even after nearly 30 years)--and a wonderful way to develop an ear for the music of the 13th and 14th centuries.

Album Details

Italian Soprano Renata Tebaldi was One of the Most Important Post-war Sopranos to Tackle a Wide Range of Puccini Roles, and During the 1950s She Recorded Several Complete Opera Recordings. Some of the Operas were Recorded Twice — in Mono and Then in Stereo. Amongst Those which Tebaldi Committed to Disc in the Recording Studio on Two Occasions Must Be Included La Bohème and Madama Butterfly. It is the Earlier, Mono Recordings of These Two Operas which Are Included Here and They Reveal a Fresh-voiced Tebaldi in Recordings Which, Despite the Stereo Remakes, have Stood the Test of Time.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to Tebaldi's art.......2005-09-29

This set covers the entire productive years of Tebaldi's recording career. Turandot, Butterfly and Boheme are from her earlier career while Tosca is from her later career. Since this Tosca recording is now out of print and is somewhat hard to find, this recording itself almost worth the cost of the set. In Turandot, you will find Tebaldi at her fresher voice, lovely and melting. Eventhough I would still rate Callas' first recorded Tosca as my first choice, this Tosca comes very close. Enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderfull.......2005-08-19

Fantastic recordings at a very good price. Tebaldi and Del Monaco rule. You should definetely own this set.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Renata.......2005-03-16

To say that these 12 disks contain some of the finest singing ever committed to disk is no exaggeration, but a simple statement of fact. Historical fact. In the 100 years (more or less) that Puccini operas have been around, only a few sopranos in each generation have been the equal of Renata Tebaldi. One cannot objectively say that anyone has surpassed her. Some opera lovers find her peerless in many of these performances. Personal tastes in singers vary, but no one ever sang these roles better. Few anywhere nearly so well. There is not a single note on any of these recordings that is not heartfelt to the core of her being. Like Maria Callas and Franco Corelli, she was luminous, gargantuan in her talent that personified an age. This is one of the great compilations.

4 out of 5 stars The Power of Bocelli!!.......2001-11-11

The two most wonderful things for me about this album are 1) the earlier renditions of songs I first heard on ROMANZA, which as a devoted fan are fascinating and historical, and 2) hearing that sweet and powerful voice in English singing The Power of Love...I adore the Italian language and agree that AB has his best sensibilities in his native tongue....but....WOW!!! This one knocked my socks off!!!

5 out of 5 stars This man does it because he loves it, NOT for the money.......2000-12-30

Hell hath no fury like a woman who has a favorite singer then feels that she must give him up. Shaun Greenleaf's wicked review on that blind Pavolian Public s**t really jammed a nail into my head. Sorry, I know everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, but whenever someone gives remarks on Bocelli like you did, I go a little crazy. I mean, a LOT crazy. I don't want to diss the Three Tenors either because I heard them before and liked them, but Bocelli was completely different from them all. Even Pavarotti said so himself: Andrea is finer than even him.

So, Mr. Greenleaf, don't show your wrath against Bocelli and insist that we give him up for Carreras, Caruso, Domingo, or any other tenor who's "made a record" if we can't let Bocelli go. If we want to continue to admire him for what he is, we will. In THIS world of so-called "superstars" such as Madonna (at least she's trying to stop being the silly indecent woman she'd always been), 'N Sync, Jennifer López, Ricky Martin, the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, in other words, people who show their bodies and girate just to be the big thing (but to be nice to them did something for the public to enjoy) and who don't have the vocal talent that the likes of Stevie Wonder, Lauryn Hill, Céline Dion, and even--no big surprise--Sarah Brightman do, a man like our very own Andrea Bocelli who doesn't expose himself to the MTV radioplay media hype gets treated like s**t? I have to speak up for my Bocelli because of that.

I do agree that he's not up to opera standards, I prefer his pop side more than his opera side, but I can't say he's horrible. An Enhanced CD by him would be nice, but then again, who needs an ECD and all sorts of t-shirts and souvenirs to become famous? The Backstreet Boys have been around only five years going on six, and they've plastered themselves on too many things to mention. Hope they come of age someday (like Madonna is) and learn that one doesn't need a whole bunch of things to get to where they want to be. Look at Lauryn Hill. It took her nothing more than superb songwriting and singing talent and positive messages to become successful. And her Miseducation CD didn't even NEED enhanced features.

The same I'd like to say for Bocelli. It's his voice that got him to the level of superstar and little else. My belief is that Andrea, who loves opera, is doing it just because that is his love. When he sings "Vivo per lei" and that music is the one whom he never betrayed, he is absolutely right. He's not doing it for the money (I hope not). Not to say that those teen stunts like BSB and 'N Sync are hell-bound, to be fair to them. I'm just letting you know this.

2 out of 5 stars Bocelli Import Extra.......2000-11-17

Overall album just NOT normal quality. Not worth the money. I love Bocelli so listened again today to Sogno and Romanza and there is no comparison. Albeit, there is a rawness to the voice and simplicity of music that has some appeal.

5 out of 5 stars My souls cried out loud!.......2000-07-28

This album is extremely beautiful! It is now one of my favorites and is very touching to the heart and soul. Andrea's voice is very moving and powerful. It sounds like an angel singing from Heaven! I don't want this song to come out of my head, it's way too perfect to forget!

5 out of 5 stars Donýt feel ashamed, people........2000-07-09

Obviously, I don't own this album, as all except two of these songs are featured on another CD I bought, "Romanza" (it's the bomb!). Those songs from this 1995 follow-up to "Il Mare Calmo Della Sera" nearly gave me an idea as to why Andrea emerged as the most popular classical stunt in America so quickly. I never heard the bilingual version of "Vivo Per Lei" (with Judy Welm), but part of it is in German, and I don't speak German. Nor did I ever hear "The Power of Love" (there have been many songs under this title, hope this one isn't a remake!) or "Sempre, Sempre."

Oh, well. It doesn't really matter, since I already have "Romanza." However, dead-serious Bocelli fans wanting to complete their collection won't care.

4 out of 5 stars Kiri at her best.......2007-07-24

This album of arias contains some expected and some unexpected delights. In addition to the sumptuous "Depuis le jour" which is a favourite vehicle for lyric sopranos, Kiri does a very respectabe interpretation of "D'amour l'ardante flame" from Berlioz "légende dramatique"La Damnation de Faust which was composed for the mezzo-soprano voice thanks to the exceptionally beautiful middle range of her voice. Another of my favorites in the collection is her interpretation of an aria from Verdi's Don carlo which is usually heard in Italian translation but work a lot better here in the original French.
This is a classic recording and should not be overlooked by Kiri fans or any fans of French opera.

5 out of 5 stars Music of the Middle Ages Reborn.......2001-02-28

I had the pleasure to see Ensemble Anonymus at my University while I was an undergraduate of Music. I have always been a fan of ancient musics, especially from the middle ages. Knowing that, you now know my dilemma. Historically acurate and well played music from this period is difficult to come by. Even when you find something done in the style, it is typically on modern instruments with modern modes and then the music lacks credibility.

Ensemble Anonymus, however, performed brilliantly on historically accurate instruments with a full and rich sound that I had never heard before. For the first time I was hearing what this music was truly meant to sound like. None of the pieces sounded alike, though each was true to its style. From uplifting and spirited tunes like 'Danse' to the solemn and heartfelt 'Sire Cuens, j'ai vielé' all the songs had a unique approach that could only have been captured by the great talent of this group.

After the concert I purchased this CD that I am listening to now, and was astonished how the same attention to detail, the spirit and energy I had heard at the concert was captured on this recording. Even the small sonances, such as the slight whisper of the bagpipe's bellows or a key being pressed were largely intact. The recording is extremely clean and warm as it should be.

I recommend this recording to anyone, especially those with an intrest in the Middle Ages and its artistic treasures.
