Biography

Il Divo were assembled by high-trousered impresario Simon Cowell, who sought to take advantage of an under-tapped public market for operatic-pop.

Cowell gathered together a multi-national selection of attractive young male singers -- Urs Bühler, Sébastien Izambard, David Miller and Carlos Marín -- and by 2005 they had released their debut album Il Divo. The album reached the top of the charts in 13… Read more in Amazon's Il Divo Store

Editorial Reviews

2005 studio album that reflects the multi-national character of the group; the songs are not all sung in English, but drift between Spanish, English and Italian. However they are worded, all use the emotional Esperanto of love. The group's debut album, IL Divo hit the #1 slot on both Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com after a breakout career-defining appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (April 5, 2005) where the quartet performed its interpretation of Toni Braxton's ‘Unbreak My Heart (‘Regressa A Mi’). Highlights on Ancora include 'Isabel' a duet with Celine Dion and IL Divo's cover of Mariah Carey's 'Hero'. Two of the tracks on this CD ‘O Holy Night’ and ‘Ave Maria’ appear on the 2005 US only release, Christmas Collection. Sony. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars opera fan, November 6, 2005
This review is from: NEW Il Divo - Ancora (CD) (Audio CD)
I purchased this CD in England.

It was worth the wait. If you enjoyed the debut Il Divo CD you will love this one. The entire CD is great, "All By My Self" is by far the highlight of the CD.

Take a chance buy purchase this, you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely amazing, November 22, 2005
This review is from: NEW Il Divo - Ancora (CD) (Audio CD)
loved this CD as much as the other two. their voices blend perfectly again and carlos mesmerizes me. his phrasing of a song is perfect. i even enjoyed hearing the repeats. the only suggestion i would have made was hearing Hero in english - the spanish didn't do it justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars They Just Get Better, December 11, 2005
This review is from: NEW Il Divo - Ancora (CD) (Audio CD)
I didn't think it was possible, but they have raised the bar yet again. The blending of voices and the harmonies have matured; they sound like they've been together for years. This CD includes songs in Italian, Spanish, English and French. And all of them are amazing. I can't pick a favorite; it changes daily. And I respectfully disagree; Heroe is only improved by the Divo rendition. It sounds unbelievable!

If you want beautiful voices singing beautiful music, then get this CD. Romance with a capital R. They are unbelievable!
