5.0 out of 5 stars See; Simon DOES know what he's talking about ;-), January 25, 2006

This group is phenomenal. Their voices and harmonies are excellent and they sound and look great. This cd is really good and it's been a long wait to actually 'see' them perform. I'm not usually a fan of opera, but these guys bring about something special to this genre and some of it might be to do with their look and their youth, but I don't think anyone could really deny the talent these guys have. See, Simon is usually correct. This is a great dvd.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a way to introduce your friends to Il Divo, November 27, 2006

Great DVD. I loved the fact that we heard the story behind the creation of Il Divo. To hear about their backgrounds and how they began to blend their voices and create a sound that is truly appreciated by all is incredible to me. They continue to get better as they branch out into a slightly different sound as each CD/DVD comes out. I can't compare their voices to any I've heard before. Simon Cowell is a genious when it comes to finding new talent and he was right on the mark when he had this vision for Il Divo. I recommend this DVD to all who wish to discover and appreciate just what it takes to find unknown talent, realize their potential and have a vision as to how that talent will take the world by surprise. Il Divo did and will continue to for years to come.

This review is from: Il Divo - Encore (DVD)

The pop/opera group IL DIVO have finally released a performance DVD following two singles. This was shot at the Teatro Romano de Merida in Spain, and released ahead of the 'boys' embarking on their first ever concert tour around the globe. Much of the content is that on their CD 'Ancora', and the DVD includes the previously released singles 'Mama'and 'Regresa A Mi'. IL DIVO has brought a breath of fresh air to the music scene. Their classical trained voices combine beautifully and the five new numbers presented here leave us wanting more. On the down side however is the stereo audio. Surely this warranted DD5.1 audio? I also felt let down by their choice of songs in that there is very little difference in tempo between them. Fans will love it but it could have been that much better.
