Monday, 12 Nov 2007 12:13
A comprehensive collection of the blind tenor's greatest hits. Sugar Music/Universal, out November 12th.
In a nutshell...
Beautiful. Vintage. Accessible. Modern classic.
What's it all about?
To mark ten years of hits loved by connoisseurs, critics and commoners alike, Andrea Bocelli is bringing together in one collection various picks from previous albums Sogno, Romanza and Amore.
Who's it by?
Andrea Bocelli needs no introduction. The blind Italian tenor has recorded hit duets with the likes of Sarah Brightman, Stevie Wonder and Celine Dion, and worked with musicians such as Kenny G.
He has sold more than 60 million albums during his career and won a Golden Globe award and an Academy Award nomination for The Prayer, which he sang with Celine Dion for the animated film The Quest for Camelot....
...So is it any good?
Absolutely. Vivere, which means "to live", is an excellent compilation that encompasses the vintage Bocelli loved by millions across the world. After years of comfortably inhabiting the hearts of fans of classical and popular music, Bocelli still has the ability to win over new hearts with an album such as this...
...This greatest hits compilation will complete the collection of ardent fans, while those who are currently distant admirers of Bocelli will find it a moving and beautiful selection of songs that might just start a love affair with the Italian tenor.
