Product Description
Josh Groban's meteoric rise to stardom began when hit producer David Foster selected him as a last-minute replacement at the dress rehearsal for the 1999 Grammy Awards, where the then-17-year-old singer stood in for Andrea Bocelli in a duet with Celine Dion. The rest, as they say, is history. But can the precocious baritone truly compete with the more seasoned powerhouses of the Classical Crossover scene? Groban's self-titled debut album validates Foster's prescience and proves that the young vocalist is more than able to hold his own. He moves confidently through an eclectic program with a poise that belies his youth and relative inexperience. He uses his warm voice to great effect in a variety of settings provided by veteran songwriters such as Richard Marx, Albert Hammond, Carole Bayer Sager, and Linda Thompson, among others. Highlights include a poignant reading of Don McLean's "Vincent," a dramatic account of the Neapolitan song "Canto Alla Vita" (featuring the Corrs), and a rock-anthem version of Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" (with Lili Haydn on violin), as well as "The Prayer," a soaring duet with fellow wunderkind Charlotte Church. ...See Full Description

| It's Wonderful!! What a voice. Just beautiful, such a talent. Music is just wonderful! By a reviewer (San Leandro, CA, USA)  |
| Not normally my kind of music... I first heard Josh Groban on Ally McBeal when it aired in the UK and I was well impressed with his distinctive voice and the song 'Your Still You'. I decided to try the album and despite not normally liking this kind of music the CD has hardly left my player. Includes a great duet with our own Charlotte Church. Well worth buying. By a reviewer (Birmingham, England)  |
| Wow! I am so looking forward to watching and listening to the blossoming career of this young man with "the voice". Such great wuality and pitch. This album is for tenor fans everywhere - it is not to be missed. By a reviewer (Moreno Valley, CA USA)  |
| Voice of an angel I first heard Josh Groban's beautiful voice on Ally McBeal and was immediately entranced. The album is a lovely collection of songs (although I wish there were a couple more in English so I could sing along!) and I'm amazed that he is only 20. He has a great future in front of him! By a reviewer (Ellington, CT)  |
