Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
When he was growing up, Andrea Bocelli recalls finding inspiration in a favourite recording of sacred music performed by tenor legend Franco Corelli. Bocelli--who in the meantime has come to inspire millions of fiercely loyal fans himself--returns to the genre as the guiding theme of Sacred Arias, the release of which coincides with the first major English-language biography of the singer. These performances are filled with the singer's phenomenally well-known vocal signature: his flair for long, sweetly floating high notes and the gentle sense of cadence he brings to a melody. It's a mistake to compartmentalise Bocelli into a singer of "operatic" versus "popular" styles: in truth his approach is at heart the same. Lack of colour and control in his phrasing remains a drawback, but the emotional empathy Bocelli evokes is never in doubt. The arias collected here sample some of the most famous devotional pieces: Schubert's "Ave Maria" and Mozart's transporting "Ave Verum," as well as an arrangement of "Silent Night" in which Bocelli tries out his English. There's also a decidedly odd choice of bedfellows for a programme of "sacred" music, such as a song from Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder (whose "angel" is the object of an overpoweringly erotic attraction) and Handel's figurative ode to a tree, "Ombra mai fu". Still, Bocelli sings with an unfeigned directness that is sure to expand his already enormous following even further. --Thomas May
Chronique amazon.fr
L'arrivée du ténor italien Andrea Bocelli sur la scène classique a causé bien des remous. Peut-on le considérer comme un chanteur lyrique à part entière ? Le timbre d'or du ténor aveugle coupe court à toute discussion, à toute ségrégation. La musique semble l'habiter, surtout dans ce répertoire sacré où l'émotion prime sur le spectaculaire. Andrea Bocelli nous donne une grande leçon d'humilité et de musique. Il brise les frontières que tentent d'échafauder les plus conservateurs grâce à son sens de la musique et à sa voix de velours. --Pierre Graveleau

Special Edition with both DVD & CD is available,
By cyclista (the Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sacred Arias (Audio CD)
Instead of this CD alone, I suggest the Bocelli, Andrea : Sacred Arias CD & DVD Special Edition (ASIN: B0000CE9VO). It includes the full 77 minute concert on DVD, plus the two bonus tracks on the DVD, plus the full 72 minute CD. This includes two bonus tracks on the CD not available on the original CD. Amazingly, the Special Edition is a few dollars less than the DVD alone and only a few dollars more than the CD alone. What a bargain! This is an amazing concert with a tremendous picture quality on a big screen TV. It is one of those DVD's that captures the feeling of "being there". A must-see for any Andrea Bocelli fan.

Hands down, best classical album ever!,
By
This review is from: Sacred Arias (Audio CD)
Hands down best classical album ever! Bocelli's voice is made for these kind of songs: Ave Maria, Panis Angelicus, Adeste Fideles! My favorites are Pieta Signore (no one sings these better then him) and Ingemisco from Verdi's Requiem! Worth every dollars I payed for it.It is after all the best selling classical album by a classical soloist of all time!

Outstanding CD,
By Dee Tavolaro (Lincoln, RI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sacred Arias (Audio CD)
This was the first Bocelli CD I heard. A friend thought I would like it and got it for me for Christmas. I loved it the first time I heard it. It was an outstanding collection of Christmas hymns, we actually sang one in my church choir and one in my school choir. It has helped expanded my library of songs, since I sing Tenor. So now when I go to sing at Christmas and Holiday shows I can now do more than Jingle Bells, and Away in a Manger. With Andrea's outstanding Tenor range this is an excellant addition to anyone's music collection.
