Product Description
Adelmo Fornaciari is better known to fans as Zucchero, which is Italian for sugar. The artist's sweet career is encapsulated on this 1997 item, which features his biggest smashes ('Senza Una Donna', 'Diamante' & 'Diavolo in Me') plus three previously unavailable tracks ('Menta E Rosmarino', 'EPPURE Non T'amo' & 'Niente Da Perdere') & a remake of Giuseppi Verdi's classical piece 'Va, Pensiero'.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hidden gem, November 19, 2003

By	I. J. Sloan "thegreyfox" (Rossendale, Lancs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is a real shame that this album only has one review, so I thought I would correct that.

As a Steve Vai, Steve Morse ( anything guitar instrumental actually ) you can tell this is not my usual listening "fodder", but you need some light and dark in any collection, and this is a fantastic collection of songs which I put on if I am in company.

There is not a single song that you will fail to either sing along to, or be moved by. I am not a great one for listing each track and saying this is very mellow, this has a great guitar solo etc, but in this album you have it all.

I should say that Zucchero has one GREAT voice.

Out of the three hundred or so albums I have, this could well be the one album I would take with me if I was limited to just one ... that is a huge compliment to its variety and yes, I agree with the previous reviewer ...GREAT FUN

Brilliant

5.0 out of 5 stars Upbeat and fun, March 9, 2000

By	"kingsransom" (Como, Italy) - See all my reviews

This is a great, cheerful CD. It's full of upbeat songs, although I love the beautiful melody of "Diamante. Zucchero's music is certainly as beautiful as Bocelli's, but in a lighter way.

5.0 out of 5 stars what a find!, November 26, 2003

By A Customer

I bought this cd on faith since I only knew one of the songs listed. I'm so glad that I did! Zucchero blends an intense and passionate voice with unusual but compelling lyrics. Give it a try. And don't underestimate the power of this cd for romantic mood-setting. Wow!
