Andre Bocelli is no opera singer, but he shows far more potential in this album than does another pop-vocalist tenor-wannabe, Michael Bolton. For one thing, he can shake off the crooner mannerisms and really sing when performing music that calls for it. At his best, he has a rich, dark timbre and an easy, unforced top. At other times, however, the tone turns dry and thin and the high notes are constricted, the inconsistency suggesting a lack of technique. Never does one get the impression that he could be heard over a medium-sized orchestra without amplification. This isn't bad singing per se, but there is much better out there, readily available on disc. --Sarah Bryan Miller

 Opera lovers will love this May 6, 2010
Drewpad (Warren, Mi United States)
Although I was looking for a CD titled "Sentimento" with Bocelli, I wasn't disappointed with this one. The clarity of his voice (which is not overly vibrato) is very pleasing to me. The selection of arias includes some of my favorites.
What's not to like when you have great singing and great music?
Total Magic from Andrea!!! February 6, 2010
tupennytiggy (Devon)
I have just purchased this C.D. as it has two additional tracts. I already have the original one. Not sure this version has the two additional tracts as I am a UK purchaser.
The arias that Andrea sings are so beautiful. The two from la Boheme and Tosca are regarded as two of the most beautiful arias for tenors. I love all the arias and they are so soothing when one has had a bad day at work!!
I have all Andrea's C.D.'s and operas and just love all of them but the more I play the opera C.D.'s the more I love them. He has the most beautiful expressive voice which has so much heart and soul put into every word. I would highly recommend this beautiful magical Andrea Arias album to anyone who loves good music.
Another masterpiece! January 12, 2009
Lady (Brentwood, NY United States)
This man is beyond talented. His voice sings to the soul of a true music & art lover. There are truly no words to describe the emotion his performances evoke. If you don't appreciate his incredible talent, check your pulse!!
Of course it's not perfect, but it's beautiful November 9, 2007

Let's not try to analyze every phrase, every note, every sustained pitch. Let's just listen to a tenor who sings from the heart. Pavarotti, he is not--but who is? Domingo he is not--but who is? In fact, who else is Bocelli?
As a tenor fanatic, I try to listen to as many tenors as I can--even some for whom I do not care (see my review on Carlo Bergonzi). There is enjoyment in all of them.
Now, one comment specifically on this recording. I have not been enthusiastic about some of Bocelli's other repertoire. But this entry into operatic arias ranks at the top of his list.
Andrea Bocelli - Sogno June 27, 2007

I am 45 years old. The reason why this is something I am mentioning, is to let all of you reading my review know what age group I am in. It might be important to the age you are in knowing what I have to say. I have four Andrea Bocelli CD's and they are all wonderful. I love each of them. My mom turned me on to him, and, since I love Josh Groban, I decided to listen to Andrea Bocelli and see what all her fuss over him was about. I'm glad I did. I am half Italian and half Spanish. I don't know either language, but when I listen to both Andrea and Josh, I don't have to. They make the music tell a story, and instantly, you understand something about the words from just the sound of their voices. If you love Josh Groban, then Andrea Bocelli is someone you should give a listen to. His voice is soothing, powerful, and romantic. I am looking forward to getting more of his CD's. Great Stuff!!!
