Puccini: Tosca (complete opera) - Performed by Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Orchestra - Zubin Mehta, Andrea Bocelli,
(more) »rank: 127618by: Andrea Bocelli
: :This is Tosca lite. The role of the tenor lead, Mario Cavaradossi, is quite heavy and strenuous in Puccini’s score; in their primes, for instance, it suited the robust, darker tone of Placido Domingo over the slender, lighter sound of Luciano Pavarotti. Andrea Bocelli's voice is slenderer still--as the world knows, it's a beautiful pop singer's sound with an opera singer's top notes and feel. As a result, the orchestra in this brand new recording is kept pretty far in the background, and all of the soloists' voices are closely miked, with Bocelli's particularly forward. His fans will not mind the acoustic, and ...

Hymn for the World 2 / Bartoli, Bocelli, Terfel, Chung

: :This is the second installment in a recording project originally inspired by Pope John Paul II's visit to Paris in 1997 to celebrate the Worldwide Days of Youth. A surprisingly effective anthology of mostly sacred liturgical music, the selections here occasionally give the impression of 'bleeding chunks' (as in the majestic opener from one of Monteverdi's sublimest creations, the 1610 Vespers) but have been chosen with imagination. Chung coordinates his forces in larger choral pieces with power and vertical balance, making a standout of the Beethovenian mystery and drive apparent in the 'Sanctus' from Schubert's Mass in E-flat. Contributions by Cecilia Bartoli find ...

Verdi: Il Trovatore (Complete Opera)
(more) »rank: 152230by: Veronica Villaroel, Elena Zaremba, Carlo Guelfi, Steven Mercurio
: :This is Andrea Bocelli's third complete opera recording--after La bohème and Tosca. Manrico is a role to which his type of lyric sound is completely unsuited. How odd it is then that it should be the most successful one to date! Some of the problems persist, but all of them to a lesser degree than previously: a sameness of delivery regardless of situation, forcing the voice for volume (the engineers have recorded the whole opera at such a high volume that everyone sounds as if they're yelling), and, in general, just sounding as if he's trying on shoes which are too big for ...

:Album Details:Includes the Bonus Track 'Semplicemente (Canto Per Te) Not on the USA Version. :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 ...

Mascagni: Cavaleria Rusticana
(more) »rank: 109143from: Decca
: :This recording of a complete opera by pop-star-almost-turned-opera singer Andrea Bocelli is of Mascagni's one-act potboiler, the popular Cavalleria Rusticana. Bocelli's role, Turiddu, is an insensitive cad, a ladies' man who dumps our heroine, Santuzza, cruelly and without care. The role is relatively heavy--more of a Domingo-sized voice is required than, say, a Pavarotti. And sad to say, Bocelli isn't even close. Even more so than in his other opera recordings, his voice comes across as underpowered, and he is so closely miked that he sounds as if he's clenching his throat for volume. He is almost strained to the breaking point in ...
