This album showcases Zucchero's greatest quality, his beautiful voice. Here, he melds Mediteranean rythms with soul and creates beautifully melodious songs. Zucchero is an amazing talent and is much underappreciated in America, take it from artists such as Miles Davis, Eric clapton, Sting and Bono who have worked with him. This is a beautiful cd that anyone interested in his music should own.

For anyone who has trouble finding that one CD that you can escape to - take you away - and put you at ease, THIS is IT. Although I do not understand a word of Italian, the beautiful guitar strums and smoky voice of Zucchero will compensate. Unlike most CD's, you can feel what the songs are about. It's a perfect harmony.

Listening to this CD while falling asleep, or in the car on your way to work, will put your mind and body at ease. It has a tempo to keep your body in a soft rythem, as well as put you in a sort of consious meditation.

I listen to this on my way to work, and even though I know I will be in for a stressfull day, it just keeps me in a sort of comfort. Just as it does when I'm falling asleep. Well worth the price.

I'm not in the habit of writing reviews but where this album is concerned, I'm compelled. I bought this album in November 2002 and am addicted to it. 'Diamante' which begins the album, will transport you to a place of serenity. I first encountered Zucchero's haunting voice in 1996 on "Pavarotti and friends for War Child". I've been hooked ever since. I play the album almost daily and it always leaves me yearning for more. Some may say it's music to make love by; I would say it's also music to LIVE by!!!

Zucchero has sold till now more than 30 million LP and not without reason... Here you can listen his most famous ballads. His magic music reaches his peak in pieces like "Miserere" with Luciano Pavarotti or "Cosi' celeste".Let me say one more thing: Zucchero in 1988 made a due with Miles Davis.Do you know another artist who has made the same thing? If you don't know Zucchero yet you must buy this recording : if you like good music you will really appreciate it!

This is a very nice CD, I just got it recently and I play it over and over again last night. I love it, It is filled with Beautiful songs. The Song Diamante is fantastic, a great start to this CD. The Duets are very very good; Blue with Sheryl Crow, Mi Muoio Per Te with Sting and of course Miserere With Luciano Pavarotti. All the songs on this CD are great.

as with all of Zucchero's CD's, this is also wonderful. I listen to it all the time, it's sensual and sexy and great.

This is my favorite Zucchero CD: I have 4. I only wish he would produce more new material of this incredibly enjoyable quality! Other albums are less accessible and some repeat songs found here. This one is your best bet if you want an introduction to Zucchero. Bought this to friends ages 50 something and 20 something, female,
who immediately fell in love with it. We played it everyday for 4 days. I came back a month later and they were still playing it every day! It's just that good. In my drawing classroom it was also THE favorite requested play of the year (18 year olds) It makes your soul fly.
