Bocelli is to Opera what Kenny G is to Jazz. If you think that is good, you will probably like this CD. You probably also enjoy Wonder bread sandwiches and twinkies.

In my opinion Andrea Bocelli his the most Beautiful Voice I have ever heard, so how can I not love this CD. It is wonderfully sung, the orchestra is fantastic and the song selection is very good. My favorites on the CD are La Boheme: Che gelida manina; Tosca: Recondita armonia; Tosca: E lucevan le stelle…; Madama Butterfly: Addio, fiorito asil; Andrea Chenier: Come un bel di di maggio.

Andrea Bocelli is not an opera singer? You must be deaf! Or perhaps just dumb!

The only thing that can account for the acclaim that some have lavished on this album is mass hypnosis. Signor Bocelli’s publicists have declared that he has ‘the most beautiful voice in the world’ and people believe it. I agree with the reviewer who described listening to this cd as painful. Everything sounds the same—like sandpaper. If he were not adorable and blind, this fellow would not have a career even as a pop artist, never mind opera singer. If you want to hear what opera sounds like at its best and most real today, check out Ramon Vargas, Juan Diego Florez, Rolando Villazon, Marcello Giordani and discover the difference between creme brulee and instant pudding.

Thinking this CD is anything other than successful but unfortunate marketing is proof of a deficient aesthetic sensibility. Enjoy your mediocrity. In short order, people will be saying “Andrea who?”
