Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli is one of those rare artists who is equally comfortable on both sides of the pop/classical fence. Discovered by Italian pop sensation Zucchero, Bocelli, whose blindness is no hindrance to his musical insight, has made an international splash in both the pop and opera worlds. He's worked with Luciano Pavarotti and Bryan Adams with equal ease, and his all-encompassing musical prowess can be easily heard on ROMANZA. The album weaves his strong, expressive, classically-trained voice through some elegant contemporary material. Many songs have a political bent that brings to mind the socially-conscious lyricism of artists like Milton Nascimento. Roll over, Luciano, and tell Michael Bolton the news.
Personnel includes: Andrea Bocelli (vocals, melodica); Robert Groslot, Jef Smits (conductor); Geradina Trovato, Marta Sanchez, John Miles, Sarah Brightman (vocals); Ruggero Robin, Massimo Varini, Paolo Gianolio, Paolo Giovenchi, Franco Ventura (guitar); Diego Jascalevich (charango);
Loved it!!! He has been dubbed as the voice that is winning the hearts of millions. Rightfully so. Anybody of any age would agree when listening to the voice of Andrea Bocelli. This CD is a timesless classic worhty of a five star rating. Submitted by a reviewer (loxahatchee, fl) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 6 of 8 found this helpful.
Incredible! I adore opera and I've always been fascinated with voices of opera singers, so it's not strange that I enjoyed the album. Every song displays not only the exellence of Andrea's voice but the unbelievable emotion with which he sings his songs. The songs have so beautiful lyrics (it's said that Italian is the most suitable language for love songs), and combined with Andrea's magnificent voice make a perfect choice for listening.

Unbelievable The only album I ever wrote a review for. This album is nothing short of breathtaking. The only drawback is that I don't know what he is saying! After reading the translations I am left in a stupor. Do yourself a favor and buy this album. Submitted by a reviewer (Queens, New York) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 2 of 2 found this helpful.
