There will be a nationally televised concert special airing on PBS – Andrea’s first full pop concert that was recorded in July with the Tuscan country side as a backdrop. The concert repertoire includes all the songs the will be on the forth coming Greatest Hits CD and features guests Chris Botti, Kenny G, Lang Lang and more. Look for PBS to broadcast this program multiple times during their upcoming December 2007 pledge period reaching over 10 million households.
“Vivere” translates from Italian to English as “To Live”
Vivere is a wonderful collection
The Best of Andrea Bocelli, Vivere is a wonderful collection of his crossover (semi classical pop) songs and is a must for every Bocelli fan. 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); Songo, from the Songo album; IL Mare Calmo Della Sera from the Romanza album (and an Earlier Album with the tital IL Mare Clamo Della Sera); 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) 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 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. 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. This is a great set for any Bocelli fan because it has the 5 new songs (4 new and one alternative version). and is a great set for new fans alike.
