Description:

Andrea Bocelli's new studio album is a collection of the most famous Italian songs - including Mamma, Funiculi Funicula and Santa Lucia. They are the songs which have enchanted Andrea since childhood. Released to coincide with his 50th birthday, the album is a personal tribute to his musical heritage. Popularized through concert, radio and record and the film industry by the great tenors of the 19th and 20th centuries, this selection of songs is a celebration of the Italian tenor tradition. Thanks to the legendary voices of Enrico Caruso, Beniamino Gigli, Franco Corelli, Mario Lanza and Luciano Pavarotti, these songs have become a huge global export and fueled the romance of generations to come. Incanto is also a homage to Love. It includes a group of songs which have told love stories in music for the past 170 years. The repertoire is a tribute to the many faces and places of love: love for a mother (Mamma); love for a woman (O surdato 'nammurato , Era di maggio , Un amore cosi grande , Non ti scordar di me ); love for a place (the pier in Santa Lucia, Mount Vesuvio in Funiculi Funicula ); love for a city (Napoli, Granada) and love for a country (Italy). Love for Italy, and a particular affection for Naples are prevalent themes throughout Incanto. Andrea has chosen one contemporary Neapolitan song - the "tarantella" Pulcinella, which highlights his fond connection to Naples and the city's unique position in the past, present and future of Italian song. The deluxe edition sets Andrea's songs in the romantic context of 1950s Naples. The archive materials provide a nostalgic snapshot of 1950s glamour, when Naples was the honey-pot for the rich and famous. The footage captures the spirit of romance and optimism during the days of Andrea's childhood - a sense of optimism prevalent in post war Italy around the time of Andrea's birth is captured by the visual themes of the album. The incomparable natural beauty of southern Italy is celebrated, as well as the magical aura of the 1950s and La dolce vita, which has enchanted generation upon generation since. The DVD also includes an interview with Andrea shot in different locations in Naples.

5Marvelous Mr. Bocelli  Sep 07, 2009
I own all of his music and enjoy it whether he's alone or singing with others. He has great vocal range and the ability to capture the essence of whatever he's singing. Try listening to his music with your eyes closed, and then maybe you can understand how he see's the music.

2Incanto - In Italian  Jun 16, 2009
I had the extreme privilege of seeing Andrea Bocelli in concert in Chicago this past Friday (June 12, 2009) and heard the "Incanto" album from the great himself. The whole entire album (concert) is in Italian. I know, when in Italy do as the Italians do. But when in America, sing in English. I know, too, the lyrics change when sung/translated into English, but I sat there the whole concert very disappointed that all the songs were sung in Italian. I've come to know and love Andrea Bocelli for his English sung songs. I've waited with bated breath for him to come back to America to sing, and how lucky was I that he came to Chicago!!! But we paid $200 a piece for nose-bleed seats to hear his lovely voice, only to be extremely disappointed that this Incanto album that he promoted is entirely in Italian. He said a few short statements in English, but sung no songs in English. If you want to hear him sing Italian, buy this album. I sure wish someone had told me his entire concert was in Italian and not English as I surely would not have wasted $400, but bought $400 worth of his English-songs instead. His voice was superb, the tone exquisite and he received 10-standing ovations (or more) as I lost count. We waited a long time for him to come to Chicago and we were going to get our money's worth to hear his voice as long as we could stay and as long as he could stand to sing.

2Does Bocelly ride a bike?  Apr 09, 2009
From Andrea picture cover, it looks like he just got off his bike. I wouldn't be surprised that he took a ride, because the way people drive in Italy... blindfolded. I think that this CD was produced in a similar way, deaf folded. When I read the song titles, I did not bother to listen or buy the CD. I heard each song million times, sang by million singers. Do I need Mr. Bocelli to prove me that he is better then some other singers? No, I don't. I know he is better, but I want new songs, new material. I need to hear new music by great singer, I need great marriage of the new songs and great voice, like Andreas. Maybe his managers want to play safe and make him sing standards. My friend's Grandma is enjoying his CD, it reminds her of her childhood.

** Stars for riding his bike!
