~Giving Voice to a Man's Love~, June 25, 2002
I think of this album as Eclectic Operatic Ballads. This is one of the least recognized recordings of Placido Domingo I have noticed and yet it is truly a creative brilliance of combinations. The songs are not operas, and yet sung as if they were. His voice ranges from a whisper of words to full encompassing passion at his highest range, all within a line of one song. And who would have thought to pair an opera singer with John Denver?? Their contrast of voices compliments while still maintaining a very strong sense of manliness. I first heard this album at 9 years old. It was as impressionable to my heart then, as it is now. Fully Heartwrenching, If you have never loved, you will feel as if you had~ If you Have loved, you will remember all the beauty and tragedy of emotion that it can bring to your heart. "Perhaps Love", "He Couldn't Love You More" and "To Love" are my favorites. It is as if I am glimpsing into the soul of a man in love! And let me tell you, it causes a twisting of emotion inside of you that cannot be controlled. It is completely without restraint and dominately passionate. You want to fly to your lovers arms with whispers of forever and gratitude. ~Thank you Mr. Domingo, for allowing me to hear what the soul of a man in love sounds like~ I have other recordings of his work, they are wonderful for background music in lovely dinner parties and for reading by. This album demands your full attention. You are bound to be entranced from the first moments.
