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

Format:Audio CD
Prior to receiving this CD, I was only minimally aware of Il Divo, the princes of popera. I had seen them on television several times, and knew that they had amazing voices and harmonies. When I first listened to this, I was blown away. These songs truly showcase Il Divo's incredible harmonies. The instrumentals are expertly arranged. The melodies are deceptively simple, yet compelling. Each song is full of pleasant surprises in harmonies, melodies and dynamics. If you listen, and emerge yourself in the music, you will not only be interested, you will also be lost in the music. With the exception of Amazing Grace, the songs are in Spanish. Regardless if you understand the words, the music emotes the sentiment of the song in a way that makes it easy to understand the message of the music. Songs such as "La Luna", Angelina and Amazing Grace really showcase the power, range and precision of Il Divo's voices.

Boring! March 13, 2009
By Andrew
Format:Audio CD
I'm a fan of the group, but tired of same old/ same old. Regret this purchase. As Simon sometimes says on "American Idol" - best not to repeat songs well identified by those who did it right the first time.
Now - with that being said, if they wish to repeat some music others have done - PLEASE go with a classic that their voices can make the most of - like THEY CALL THE WIND MARIA, from Paint Your Wagon. That's a song like Unchained Melody and one loved by millions. I would buy an entire album if that song were on it - and done well. But, please get into the music more than just singing the tune in a variety of languages. You've become redundant and boring. Sorry.

Mannerism December 5, 2008
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Disappointed! No challenge. The same tempi and the same mood with a huge tutti at the end with a cheap modulation. Sorry, don't take it negative!
I have been a sincere Il Divo fan since 2 years ago. What is cross-over music? I wonder how much they (4 wonderful singers) are involved in music choice and arranging. I want them to be original. They can find any motif or melody from Faure, Massnet, Richard Strauss, Rachmaninov, even from Bach---anywhere. Think what they did in the past: 'Isabel' from Faure, 'Aranjuez' from Rodrigo, 'All by Myself' arranged by Eric Carmen who had taken a motif from Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No 2 (if I am right). These are cross-over music. But I liked 'Regresa A Mi', 'Nella Fantasia', ' Passera', 'Notte di Luce', 'Caruso' and 'Musica' etc.
This recent album makes me feel so dull--even 'Adagio' by Albinoni.
They don't have to be operatic because of their backgrounds. It depends on the song itself. Am I the only person to think this way? I do wish Il Divo's future prosperity.

This is an absolutely great dvd. My only dissapointment is that not all the songs from the album are on the dvd; which I was looking forward to. Still, very powerful performance.
