About the Artist

ANDREA BOCELLI CELEBRATES A DECADE OF BEST-SELLING RECORDINGS WITH HIS FIRST-EVER GREATEST HITS COLLECTION, THE BEST OF ANDREA BOCELLI - VIVERE CD IN-STORES OCTOBER 30TH ON SUGAR MUSIC/DECCA September 11, 2007 - (New York, NY) -- For the first time during his historic career the world's best selling tenor, Andrea Bocelli, will be releasing a collection of his greatest hits. The Best Of Andrea Bocelli - Vivere, will be released on Sugar Music/Decca on October 30th, marking a decade of chart-topping albums that have made him a household name and beloved cultural figure the world over. The Best Of Andrea Bocelli - Vivere will feature selections from Bocelli's wildly popular recordings including Romanza, certified 4 times platinum, Sogno certified 2 times platinum, and his most recent platinum disc, Amore. Highlights include "Time To Say Goodbye" his breakthrough smash with Sarah Brightman, "The Prayer," another duet made famous with Celine Dion, and the more recent Bocelli staples "Because We Believe" and "Besame Mucho" among others. Several new tracks are also exclusively available on Vivere, including new compositions by the renowned and accomplished David Foster, who also holds producing credits on the songs and was one of the creative forces behind Amore. Other notable guests on the disc include the acclaimed classical pianist Lang Lang and Latin singing sensation Laura Pausini. 2007 is already shaping up to be another banner year for Bocelli. In July, the superstar staged his first-ever, pop only, live concert set in the stunning hills of Tuscany, which will be broadcast on PBS this December. Andrea continues to be one of PBS' most visible artists, with this being the follow-up to the Emmy-nominated "Under The Desert Sky" special which aired in 2006. Bocelli also appears on the forthcoming new album from Chris Botti, Italia, to be released in September. This fall, Andrea returns to the U.S. for another round of high-profile promotional appearances, as well as several concerts in support of the greatest hits collection - dates to be announced soon. Vivere, meaning "to live," is certainly something Andrea Bocelli does to his fullest. Having sold over 55 million albums worldwide, he continues to display a singularly unique ability to straddle both pop and classical repertoire with sincerity, conviction, grace and his unmistakable soaring tenor. One of the most sought after performers in the world, he has recorded duets with the biggest names in music including Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, Katharine McPhee, Kenny G and the aforementioned Brightman, Botti and Dion. Andrea also recently sang at the funeral service for one of his true heroes, Luciano Pavarotti, where he paid tribute to the great tenor with Mozart's ``Ave Verum Corpus.'' A media darling who has appeared everywhere from American Idol to the Today Show multiple times, he has been called "one of opera's most successful crossover stars" by The Wall Street Journal.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Andrea Bocelli, Vivere is a wonderful collection!, October 30, 2007

By	Richard D. Cappetto "RickDC" (Moodus, CT United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Andrea Bocelli, the world's most popular tenor (and Best selling) and pop sensation as well, has recorded The Best of Andrea Bocelli, Vivere what is a wonderful collection of his crossover (semi classical pop) songs and is a must for every Bocelli fan. Every song on the CD is wonderful and all the hit songs have been re mastered (or remixed) and sound better than ever.

The Songs include a nice selection of some of Bocelli's best work (it would take a 10 CD set to give us all of his best work-both clasicl and Popular); Bocelli has a very beautiful voice, that expresses much emotion. His tone and diction are excellent and his Volume is much better then the critics claim, he voice is always moving, his singing touches one's heart and goes righ into ones soul. The tracks include Songo; from the Songo album; It may be his best song ever. IL Mare Calmo Della Sera from the Romanza album (and an Earlier Album with the tital IL Mare Clamo Della Sera); this was his first hit and was used my Todd Eldridge, figure Skater, in the Olympics and US championships. Canto Della Sera, from the Songo album; Besame Mucho, from the Amore album; Mille lune Mille Onde, (included on the Delux edition as an extra track and is the song used in the Brilla Pasta advertisement) from Cieili Di Toscana; Time to Say Goodbye-Con Te Partino (with Sarah Brightman), from the Romanza album; Vivo Per Lei (with Giorgia who is an Italian pop star with a wonderful voice) from the Romanza album; Melodrama from the Cieli De Toscana album; The Prayer (with Celine Dion, from the Songo Album and the Quest soundtrack, (as well as Celine Dion albums;) and Because We Believe from the Amore album, the great theme for the Olympic's in Italy.

The songs also include a new English/Italian version of Vivere called Dear To Live; with Laura Pausani a popular Italian singer. A wonderful song called La Voce Del Silenzio; a beautiful song called A TE; A very cool classical song with Lang Lang, on Piano, called IO CI SARO; and another song, very contemporary, called BELLISSIME STELLE which may be my favorite song on the CD.

The Deluxe edition comes with one extra songs as I mentioned above and also a bonus DVD that was 8 live songs from Bocelli's Statue Of Liberty concert, which was recorded back just after the release of the Songo album; and just after His Father died, the concert is very emotional and very beautiful. You can see the wonderful New York City in the background and the Twine towers standing proud. It is a wonderful DVD it looks fantastic and sounds fantastic. My only complete is that its not the whole concert. The whole concert has only been available from PBS as a VHS tape. The 8 songs are La Donna E Mobile; Di Quella Pira; Brindisi-Cavaileria Rusticana; O Soave Fanciull; Santa Lucia Luntana; Torna A Surriento; O Sole Mio; And Brindisi-La Travita. If you can I would pop the few extra bucks for the Deluxe edition and get the DVD.

This is a great CD (and or set) for any Bocelli fan, for the fan because it has the 5 new songs (4 new and one alternative version). And is a great set for new fans because it has many of his hits. this would be a good first CD for someone new to Bocelli.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Andrea Bocelli Vivere CD, November 21, 2007

By	R. Stapleford "Rosanne" (Nashua New Hampshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As usual this CD was not a disappointment. I hadn't heard many of the songs he sings but was over joyed with power and rich,ness of his voice. I too enjoyed some of his old familar tunes. For those of you who enjoy Bocelli's music as I do, this CD is a must.
