Product Description
Cielo e mar is available in a standard jewel version and also in this limited edition deluxe package, which features a hard cover booklet with 68 pages including the original recording (1 CD). It also includes a four-language booklet (English, French, German, Spanish) and five language libretti (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish), additional photo and text material, and a short synopsis for each aria track by track. Exuberant and charismatic, Rolando Villazon is the tenor of today. Here he releases his first solo album on Deutsche Grammophon. The soaring title track from Ponchielli s La Gioconda inspired Villazon to become a singer. Here it is the starting point for an intriguing album which moves far beyond the usual greatest tenor hits . Less familiar masterpieces by Boito, Cilea and Verdi feature alongside little-known Donizetti arias and rarities by Gomes, Mercadante and Pietri. The album is Villazon s personal homage to his illustrious predecessors in the lyric-dramatic repertoire great tenors such as Bergonzi, Caruso and Domingo. Cielo e mar offers something special for connoisseurs of opera, Villazon s many fans and mainstream listeners who will be gripped by the beauty of both his voice and the music.

Listeners who like to sing along will have to learn some new material because, as he did in his French album, Rolando Villazon has included some noteworthy arias from seldom heard operas. The Maristella and Fosca selections are particularly beautiful. However, I advise against singing along because one can then appreciate this magnificent voice and expressive phrasing.
