DVD Reviews of Andrea Bocelli - Under the Desert Sky [CD Included]

DVD Review: Under the Deser Sky
Summary: 5 Stars

Andrea Bocelli is the most romantic in "Besume Mucho", however there are several songs on this CD that will have me purchase a second CD, because I have just about worn groves into the original CD. I hope the next time he sings with Steve Wonder, please teach him the words the two voices are wonderful together.

His voice bring me back to earth for sure. A fan for life.

DVD Review: Once In a Lifetime a Voice like Andrea Bocelli comes along
Summary: 5 Stars

I can't add much more to this review that hasn't already been said... However, the DVD is stunning in sound and visual effect and Andrea's voice simply is amazing. If you have a HDTV and a good sound system you will be impressed. I listen to all types of music from County, to Heavy Metal and I can tell you this ... You won't be disappointed !!

Cheers

DVD Review: BREATH TAKING!!!! AMAZING!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I consider Andrea Bocelli to be one of the BEST interpreters, singers of our time... He is truely blessed by God because he can express what he "sees" with his heart and soul... and some men have eyes but cannot see anything!!! No matter where he sings, he takes everybodys breath away as soon as he opens his mouth...

DVD Review: SMOOTH as SILK
Summary: 5 Stars

Each song is the embodiment of silky smooth wooing. Absolutely one of my favorite performances.

DVD Review: Great Concert
Summary: 5 Stars

If you play it in 5.1 or 7.1 Home theater you will enjoy it a lot. Excellent concert with classic and romantic song. I recommended.

Description of Andrea Bocelli - Under the Desert Sky [CD Included]

Performed on a specially constructed floating stage in Lake Las Vegas, a resort community 20 miles south of Las Vegas, this historic performance captures Andrea Bocelli's first ever pop concert. Under the Desert Sky, which co-stars Tony?? winner Heather Headley (Elton John's Aida), represents a new era for the Tuscan-born singer. Spanish guitars flourish, traditional Latin percussion seductively keeps the tempo, accordions and harmonicas provide haunting ambience. Highlights include "Somos Novios" - Perry Como had a hit with it as "It's Impossible" - and "The Prayer," a duet with Heather Headley, David Foster and Carole Bayer Sager's Oscar?? nominated song from Quest for Camelot. Capping the program is a new song, "Because We Believe," by David Foster with lyrics by Andrea Bocelli and Amy Foster Gillies which was written for and introduced at the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics.

If music be the food of love, then Under the Desert Sky is an Italian feast. Andrea Bocelli performs live at the Lake Las Vegas resort for this DVD and bonus CD, featuring some of the world's greatest love songs. In straying from the largely classical repertoire that helped shoot Bocelli to stardom, he is able to take more contemporary material and give it the sheen of timelessness. Most of the selections are in Italian, Spanish, or French--Romance languages, naturally. Highlights include the swoon-inducing "Amapole," the pitch-perfect "Canzoni Stonate," and even a reverent "Can't Help Falling in Love." Through it all, Bocelli's relaxed, self-effacing manner and confident delivery make for an intimate concert experience. Bocelli is also backed by a terrific group of talented musicians, including pianist and executive producer David Foster. A real show-stopper: Bocelli's duet with the Tony-winning Aida singer Heather Headley; the blending of their voices suggests the duets of Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt at their most sublime. There's only one real clunker: "Besame Mucho," which is so innately cheeseball that trying to deliver it sincerely only makes it more cheesy. Included is a CD with nine tracks, including a different version of "Can't Help Falling in Love," with a duet by American Idol's Katherine McPhee, and a soulful "Canzoni Stonate" with Stevie Wonder. DVD extras include interviews with Bocelli, Foster, and others (be sure to turn on your subtitles manually if you're not an Italian speaker). That's amore! --A.T. Hurley
