Album Notes Andrea Bocelli, the tenor of enormous popularity, is no stranger to the world of traditional opera having delved into it on previous albums, but with VERDI he raises the stakes. He plunges into the deep end of the "serious" music pool with a selection of arias that span the breadth of the great composer's career, music that is breathtaking in its beauty but vocally demanding and difficult. Is Bocelli up to the challenge? Purists and traditionalists may have their objections, but there's no denying the artist's charisma and ability to engage audiences. Bocelli is a singer with an easy confidence and keen musical instincts who well understands where his talents lie, and his interpretations of arias from masterworks such as 'Il trovatore,' 'Rigoletto,' and 'La traviata' showcase his natural abilities, projecting sincerity and a deep respect for the music. He gives heartfelt accounts of "Ah si, ben mio," "Ma se m'e forza perderti," and "La vita e inferno all'infelice," committing himself to the emotions evoked by the music and delivering the essence of the work. The album is buoyed by his genuine enthusiasm, and his warm, romantic tone serves him well throughout. Bocelli may not gain many converts with VERDI, but will surely satisfy his legion of admirers.
