Created by American Idol’s Simon Cowell, the classical supergroup Il Divo burst out of nowhere to conquer the music world. With its lush orchestral arrangements and romantic sweep, the group’s debut CD enchanted listeners everywhere—to the tune of four million copies sold. But where did these four hugely talented and incredibly photogenic young men come from? And how did this multilingual “popera” group end up becoming one of the biggest sensations of our time? Music journalist Allegra Rossi celebrates her idols with an in-depth biography that’s sure to please the band’s legions of fans. Filled with never-before-seen photos, it provides a complete chronicle of the lives and work of singers David Miller, Sébastien Izambard, Urs Buhler, and Carlos Marin: the truly divine quartet.

Well written with some insight. Read it and you will see some of these guy personalities and dedication to the music that they love and shared, through the time of their hardwork and determination to put their voices to please us.

Beyond Fabulous!,

This review is from: Romancing the World: A Biography of Il Divo (Hardcover)
I cannot begin to express in words how fabulous this group is with class, charisma, enthusiasm, warmth, etc. etc. etc. I wish that they had a fan club or some means for me to express my feelings. I saw the concert in Boca Raton and I am thinking seriously of flying to Las Vegas to see them again in August. I wish them the absolute best that life has to offer as I believe they really feel the words they sing in their songs. God Bless them.

Five stars and then some to these young men. What a future for them! I hope they stay together for many years to come. Simon Cowell had it right when he wanted to hear classical voices sing toons we all love and understand and can relate to. I hope they contunue to select great music we all will love to hear over and over again. Need to know more about how we can hear them LIVE on the TV during prime time! We need to be informed so we don't miss out. The group was broadcast over PBS a week or so ago in Salt Lake City but for some reason the local PBS stations in St George Utah did not share in that program. For shame. Andrew T.
