It's impossible to hear Andrea Bocelli singing Perry Como's "It's Impossible" without being overcome by a sense of utter enchantment. As the ripe-hearted have known since 1997's Romanza, though, Bocelli's French-perfume-like appeal generally lingers well beyond a single song, suffusing entire lovestruck evenings with its richness and warmth. And so it goes with Under the Desert Sky. Recorded at a floating concert venue near Las Vegas (thus the title), Bocelli's first CD/DVD combo plays like an elaborate seduction. Cue up the DVD, and the crossover classical tenor, outfitted in black velvet, tortures the besotted with visible sincerity and knockout performances alongside David Foster and the elegant Heather Headley. Spin the CD and the songs come spilling out like elegant reminders of the swoon-worthy live performance. Several of the nine songs on the CD--"Cuando Me Enamoro," "Canzoni Stonate," and "Somos Novios (It's Impossible)" among them--are available on other Bocelli discs, but that shouldn't deter the faithful. For one thing, "Can't Help Falling in Love," a dazzling duet with American Idol's Katherine McPhee, can't be heard elsewhere. For another, outside of a few vintage Julio Iglesias albums, you just won't find this much feeling packed into a single 33-minute disc. It's impossible. --Tammy La Gorce

Product Description
UNDER THE DESERT SKY: a spectacular new CD/DVD combo package from Andrea Bocelli, featuring his first ever live pop concert performance. 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.

A wonderful MUST HAVE DVD/CD Set.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Andrea Bocelli: Under the Desert Sky [DVD Included] (Audio CD)
A voice like Andrea Bocelli's only comes along every generation or so, (if that) Caruso, Lanza, Pavarotti and Now Bocelli; They are my big 4. Not only does Bocelli have wonderful opera skills, but also tremendous pop singing skills, as well. As for classical singing; Bocelli's breath control is amazing; no one holds high, mid, and low notes (sang either intensely or softly) as long as Bocelli does. His diction is excellent; His tone is wonderful; His color is right in sink to the song being performed, dark or light, and all shads around those as needed. He has that tenor ring that can rise up over an orchestra, he sings just beautifully. As for his pop singing again it's spectacular; Bocelli can sing a pop song either in a classical way, or a bluesy way or almost anyway. He has tremendous versatility, I would rank him right at the top of pop singing for all time. Bocelli can sing big, bold, intense and beautiful, or can show us a soft side it seems like he is singing in one's ear, very sweetly and beautiful.
Under The Desert Sky: Is a wonderful DVD/CD Set, . Bocelli's singing hear is Romantic, Passionate, filled with Emotion and his voice will go right into your soul and provide you with delight. Bocelli has a certain vulnerability (for lake of a better word) in his voice (when he sings pop) that can fill you with peace. He is just amazing. the DVD is wonderfully done in a beautiful setting of Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada. You will watch it over and over again. The CD is a nice bonus, it gives you songs not on the Amore cd. hear is my song by song review. Disc 1 DVD 1. Amapola - soft. sweet and romantic (well every song is romantic). 2. Besame Mucho (Latin American) Spanish guitar in Besame Mucho is fantastic, best version of Besame Mucho ever. 3. Somos Novios (Spanish) (It's Impossible) 4. Canzoni Stonate nice harmonica work, sounds great, a fun Italian song. 5. Pero Te Extrano- Just a beautiful spanish song, wonderful. 6. L'Appuntamento a sweet song. 7. Estate - Summer, just a hauntingly beautiful song. 8. September Morn - Nice short version of the Neil Diamond Song. 9. Can't Help Falling In Love _ wonderful romantic version of the Elvis standard. 10. Mi Manchi - A Fantastically beautiful Italian song. 11. Jurame - a fun upbeat number, wonderful spanish Guitar. 12. Solamente Una Vez (You Belong To My Heart-Latin American) nice guitar work, really every song is musically excellent. Like the harmony. 13. Les Feuilles Mortes (Autumn Leaves-French) WOW, beautiful, I may not like the french, sometimes, but there language is beautiful. 14. Porque Tu Me Acostumbraste -This is not on the Amore album but on the spanish all Spanish version Amor it is a wonderful song. 15. Cuando do Me Enamoro (A Man who needs Love) cool version. 16. The Prayer with Heather Handley a very nice version. 17. Momentos Another song from the all spanish version Amore, a beautiful song. 18. Because We Believe - A hit of this album a wonderful David Foster/Andrea Bocelli song. Disc 2 CD 1. Besame Mucho - live same as above. 2. Cuando Me Ennamoro - live same as above. 3. Estate with Chris Botti - studio version A extra track from the Amore sessions, I can't believe they left this one off, its a great song. 4. September Morn - live same as above. 5.

Absolutely Enthralled,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Andrea Bocelli: Under the Desert Sky [DVD Included] (Audio CD)
I ordered this CD/DVD because of the songs "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You" and "The Prayer." I also knew many of the Latin songs since my husband is from Puerto Rico and grew up with this music. Every song is a winner. We were so impressed with the setting, the orchestra, the songs and especially the vocal talent of Andrea Bocelli, we immediately ordered another set to send to my husband's sister and the CD "Amore" for us. What a magnificent DVD and such a talented performer. You will love this DVD and will play it over and over.

Andrea Bocelli 'Under the Tuscan Sky',

This review is from: Andrea Bocelli: Under the Desert Sky [DVD Included] (Audio CD)
The quality of the CD brings out the crisp, clear sound of every instrument while allowing Mr.Bocelli's soothing, hypnotic voice to float between each note. Magnificent!
