The Tuscan Skies (Cieli Di Toscana) DVD is a must have for the Andrea Bocelli Fan. For anyone who has seen this on TV this is DVD quality and sound with two extra video's not included on the TV show (Lincontro and Mascagni). The DVD includes 10 Videos from the album (Melodrama, Il Mistero Dell'Amore, L'Icontro, L'Ultimo Re, L'Abitudine, Resta Qui, Milli Lune Milli Orde, Mascangni, E Sara' A Settembre, E Mi Machi Tu), and the bonus Video Tornera' La Neve. Its worth it just for the bonus song alone, but there is much much more. All the Videos are beautifully shot and represent Andreas life and his fantasies. The DVD also includes the whole Album with slide shows running during the songs (in a way like Videos), mostly picture's shot during the recording of the video, plus some extra from home. The Album includes two bonus alternative version of L"Incontro (he French and Italian version of the Poem). Other bonus materiel are Interviews, Behind the Scenes Footage, Career Highlights, and a Track Synopses.

This is fantastic. I am Italian and love Tuscany and the people's way of life. But this is an extension in music/dvd form of Andrea's recently published book "The Music of Silence". If you have the background of his memoirs you will find this not only beautiful but very touching into the heart of the very man himself. Bravo to Andrea! A MUST.

All of Andrea fans should get this vhs.It is much more then you saw on tv. One scene shows Andrea playing a flute and a father and his baby is shown during the lullaby song.The surprise is thirty more minutes of Andrea getting ready for each song ,speaking with producer ,camera men,his translators etc. You feel that you are right there with him in Tuscany.Highly recommended!!

I love Bocelli, and have his live concert DVD, "A Night in Tuscany". (Loved that one, by the way) I thought "Tuscan Skies" would be a live concert also.
When I watched the DVD, it was just a bunch of still photos, one after another. Yes they were nice photos, but I ended up fast forwarding through a lot of it, hoping to find at least one live performance. I don't have the interest or patience to sit and look at a slide show! No offense to those folks who loved this DVD, I understand everyone has different tastes. If I had it to do over again, I'd just stick to listening to my CD of this one.

OMG!!! Absolutely OMG!!! I like the songs in his CD "Cieli di Toscana" pretty much already, but this DVD mixed with the MTV that make the songs sound 10 times better!! It makes me feel like I understand and feel the songs more deeply and more passionately. When Bocelli's voice came out, u just cant resist but stay in front of the TV to listen he sings and watch the gorgeous MTV. Overall it brings u to the inside world of the songs. Personally I like the video of E Sara' A Settembre the most, but actually all videos are worth more than 10 stars. I am only 22, but I choose to listen bocelli's masterpieces instead of those stupid pops that has no talent or even no voices. This shows how charming bocelli's songs and voice are, I can guarantee after u listening and watching this, u would understand what "beautiful music" really means. Trust me~

I'm sorry to be the party pooper here, but I think this DVD is overly sentimental; it forces emotion and lacks substancial debth. Yes, the scenery is stunning, but the beauty of human relationships it attempts to convey is lacking. The scenes of the male model holding the baby for example, are just plain silly. I don't feel any love or relational debth when I watch them. It's just some guy with an above average body holding a baby as though he's not quite sure what to do with it.

With that said, the best chapter on the DVD was "L'Abitudine" with Andrea and Helena Hellwig at the recording studio. That was raw and real.

Andrea Bocelli's singing is beautiful; and this DVD fails to do that beauty justice.

I really enjoyed seeing photos and videos from his childhood. Not only do you get to experience his homeland but scenes from his life.

This is put to music that is next to perfection. This guy is so gorgeous it's almost unreal.

Beautiful, beautiful man...

(02 JUN '04- 16H24) Wonderful, wonderful...Andrea combines his sentiments and vocals into a delightful package of personal narration, music videos, and so much more. Subtitles may be activated for Andrea's spoken Italian. I reposed to "Tuscan Skies" [on REPLAY!] and woke up in a rather serene, uplifted mood. Encore, ladies and gentleman.

I really enjoy this DVD. I love his music the scenes from Tuscany are just beautiful adding to his beautiful voice.

Watching Tuscan Skies, I cry because Bocelli touches my heart. He hits a place no one else can. The tears just flowed with the beauty of his voice. What a journey this man has had. Thank God he has chosen to share his gift with us all. Thank you Andrea.
