Very good LP.
Each song seems to be a character, along with a great storyline.
Bocelli's vocals are perfection, as usual, and wrapped within the walls of the other instruments, this LP is a perfect thing.
It is NOT necessary to understand the lyrics, the delivery does more than speak to you: It creates a mood that reflects the very love that went into the creation of this LP.
Great job and money well spent.
This LP will effect you on a visceral level, it is pure mood.
Rating: - Vivere - a MUST buy CD - Extraordinary
This week I bought the latest tenor Andrea Bocelli CD, "Vivere" and was not disappointed.
Andrea's voice is passionate and warm. The songs are soothing to the ear, heart and soul. This is a MUST buy CD for those Andrea Bocelli fans and for those affraid of opera singers. He chose a variety of songs sang in Italian, English, Spanish, and German. The CD includes four duets performance wiht great singers such as Laura Pausini, Sarah Brightman, Judy Weiss, and Celine Dion. The duet with Judy Weiss is a combination of English and German.
This CD includes three of my favorite singers, Andrea Bocelli, Sara Brightman, and Celine Dion. Since the first moment I listened to it, I felt in love with it!
On this CD, Andrea, shows that a great voice goes beyond opera and classical recitals to include other songs such as Besame Mucho, Time to Say Goodbye, and the Prayer just to mention a few.
The ''Prayer'' is beautifully sang on a duet with Celine Dion. The combination of these two voices is a gift from heaven. Both voices merged together in an extraordinary feast of notes and pleasure.
''Time to Say Goodbye' duet with Sara Brightman takes you to a place of magic. On this song, Sara's clear soprano voices vibrates like angels singing on heaven accompained by Bocelli's deeper sound. The end of this song is breath taken. They hold the last note strong for a very long, long, time.
"La Voce del Silenzio" the first songs puts you on the mood and serve as a prelude for the rest of the CD.
This is a MUST buy.

Bought this for my mom for mothers day. Apparently she knew who he was even tho I didnt. I heard him on tv and he is amazing singer and musician.
This was the perfect gift. His music is amazing.
Rating: - Not impressed
Just not impressed with this compilation. Best songs on it are all the ones from the Romantica CD. I'm sorry I bought it.
Rating: - Okay -not as good as his other cds
I have all of Andre,s CDs, but this one seems alittle rough in places.
I am no music critic, but the voice does not seem to be as crisp and smooth as in his other cds.
I play it very now and then, but if you have the past cds then you may want to pass on this one.
