Free Music Notes for The Best Of Andrea Bocelli Vivere (CD & DVD Deluxe Edition)
Free Music Review: Bellissimo!
Hit: 5 Stars
To me, unwrapping a Christmas present that includes a beautiful CD/DVD pack such as Andrea Bocelli's DeLuxe Edition of "Vivere" is one of the most wonderful things Christmas is made of. To Patrick and Deanna, a million thanks to both of you for your thoughtfulness! I have been enjoying this lovely CD and the amazing DVD showing Andrea Bocelli's "American Dream" concert at the Statue of Liberty.
The CD has an impressive collection of sixteen songs saturated with beautiful melodies and romantic lyrics flawlessly interpreted by Mr. Bocelli starting off with "La Voce Del Silenzio" to the final track, David Foster's "Because We Believe." His special guests are Laura Pausini in "Vivere," Celine Dion in "The Prayer," Kenny G in "A Te," showcasing his masterful sax playing, Sarah Brightman in "Con Te Partir?," Giorgia in "Vivo Per Lei" and pianist Lang Lang in "Io Ci Sar?."
Mr. Bocelli is not only an outstanding singer, but also a lyricist and composer in his own right. Some of the Italian lyrics from the repertoire were written by him and these are "Because We Believe" and "Io Ci Sar?." The title track "Vivere" is one remarkable song with meaningful lyric sang in an engaging duet with Laura Pausini. This song was co-written by a team of lyricists and composers namely Gerardina Travato (Italian lyrics), Eugenio Finardi (English lyrics), Celso Valli and Angelo Anastacio (music).
"Vivere non si pu? vivere senza passato
Vivere ? bello anche se non I'ha chiesto mai
Una canzone ci sar?
Sempre qualcuno che la canter?."
It blew me away upon hearing his version of an enduring hit in the forties, "Besame Mucho," which I believe is the most beautiful male vocal version of this classic of a song written and composed by Consuelo Velazquez. My vote for the best female vocal rendition goes to Jackie Ryan in her elegant CD, You and the Night and the Music. Mr. Bocelli's mellow and soothing voice is just the perfect blend for its lovely Bossa Nova arrangement by David Foster giving it the retire-the-trophy-treatment and making it his very own . . . as if saying confidently and supremely: I can deliver the loveliest version of this song and it will be the most beautiful rendition of all, bar none! And he did just that! The enchanting guitar work makes it sound like a beguiling serenade. I listened to it with a few repeats and each time, I find my ears being captivated by it all the more.
"B?same, b?same mucho
Como si fuera esta noche
La ultima vez
B?same, b?same mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte
Perderte despu?s."
My highlights on the DVD presentation are his notable performances of my all-time favorites "O Sole Mio," "Torna A Surriento," "La Donna E Mobile" from Verdi's "Rigoletto," and a couple of stunning duets with Ana Maria Martinez - "O Soave Fanciulla" from Puccini's "La Boheme" and Verdi's "Brindisi - La Traviata."
I had an enjoyable listening experience with this CD, and a delightful viewing of the DVD concert presentation. I'm sure you will, too.
With my heartfelt recommendation for your listening and viewing pleasure forever and a day!
Free Music Review: Great Music
Hit: 4 Stars
The music is as expected - food for the soul provided by one of the greatest voices of both the 20th and 21st centuries. The DVD of the Statue of Liberty Concert was good but at 35 minutes is far to brief.Free Music Review: Fantastico!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This may be Andrea's best production to date. As with most "Best of ..." albums, there are, of course, his standards--his duets that we have heard before (with Celine, Sarah Brightman, etc.), but there is new material as well. My favorites from this CD are Bellissime Stelle and Because We Believe--but all 16 selections are wonderful. Brilliant!! Good work Andrea!!!Free Music Review: The Best of Andrea Bocelli

Hit: 5 Stars
Certain this CD includes the best of all of his recordings. However, the DVD comes with the CD is not as excited as the CD itself.
