5.0 out of 5 stars A Reach Into the Soul, March 29, 2000

This review is from: Sogno (Audio CD)

I first heard Andrea Bocelli in a restaurant singing Time to Say Goodbye with Sarah Brightman. I wondered why I was so haunted by that song. I then bought Celine Dion's Christmas CD and literally lost my breath when I heard his duet with her. I immediately went out to get SOGNO (these 2 CD's are the first I have bought for myself in years). Listening to SOGNO, I knew I had lost my musical soul to the rich vibrancy of his voice and the way his songs could wring every bit of emotion I had from me. There is almost an ethereal quality to his voice that magnificently reveals itself in Sogno and Immenso and Canto de la Terra is incredible. I have a 17-year old son who plays Bocelli's SOGNO CD full blast in his open Jeep Wrangler and a 7-year son who listens to Bocelli and wishes some day he could sing as beautifully. As for Mother, the three men in her life gifted her with 2 new Bocelli CD's for Valentine's Day. Close your eyes. Sit back. Allow the magic of SOGNO and Andrea Bocelli to enchant and flow through you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sogno- Do more than just dream about it, July 28, 2000

Bocelli fans who have had the delight of listening to his CD, "Aria", have experienced Bocelli's powerful voice in full operatic style. While he continues his goose-bump inspiring singing in his CD "Sogno" with his songs "Un Canto" and "Come Un Fiume Tu", Sogno really delivers much more. A veritable musical potpourri, Sogno contains a mixture of styles... ranging from a middle-eastern sound with his duet with Dulce Pontes in "'O Mare E Tu" to the popsy "Nel Cuore Lei" with Eros Ramazzoti (in both cases, you can be certain that Bocelli is the better half!). Even with the beautiful voice of Celine Dion complementing his in "The Prayer", I couldn't help but have a little dream of Bocelli singing a solo version. Alas, I found myself despairing, as the color of Bocelli's textured voice in "Tremo E T'amo". The background music in the CD was creative... perhaps a little too much? Sounds of a cafe bustle in the background of "I Love Rossini" and can be somewhat endearing once the distraction from the music dissipates. And the water running in "Come Un Fiume Tu" made me want to check my faucets. There is a choral accompaniment in a few numbers including "Canto Della Terra", although the song would have done well without it. His voice, I believe, also merits more than the slight dose of keyboard accompaniment provided in a couple songs. Perhaps it is just too easy to be spoiled by a beautiful voice like Bocelli's. He is truly at his best in "Canto Della Terra", "Sogno" and "Come Un Fiume Tu"; he communicates the words & music with great passion and tenderness, trancending any language barriers. The tune in "Mai Piu' Cosi' Lontano'" is incredibly contagious (it may have something to do with the fact that it shares its background melody with "A Mio Padre", a moving voiced message to Bocelli's father). Sad and sweet, tender and powerful, serious and playful, Sogno is a diverse dreamscape, one that I would do more than, well, dream about (i.e. buy the CD)!
