Great Spanish version of Bocelli's Hits Collection!,

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. This is the Spanish version of his hits with most of the songs being in spanish.
the songs include
1. La Voz Del Silencio A wonderful new song.
2. Sueno
3. El Silencio De La Espera (Il Mare Calmo Della Sera)
4. Vive Ya (Vivere) A new Spanish version of Viva per lei with Laura Pausini.
5. Canto De La Tierra
6. A Ti A brweand new song written by Bocelli, very pretty indeed.
7. 'O Mare E Tu With Dolche Pontez.
8. Besame Mucho
9. Mil Lunas Mil Olas (Mille Lune Mille Onde) The Italian version of this song is on the Brilla Pasta Ad's.
10. Por Ti...Read more
Inferior to its native (Italian/English) version,

The songs in Spanish sound flat and audibly inferior to the native (Italian/English) versions. The Bocelli's voice is almost the same, but it lacks certain warmth deriving from vibrations not present there and depriving the voice of spaciousness of the originals. The added song O' MARE E TU with Dulce Pontes seems to be out of character and its Bocelli's part is minor and subdued. Marta Sanchez is no match for Giorgia in VIVO PER LEI. And TIME TO SAY GOODBYE without Sarah Brightman does not sound as well. This Spanish album does not match its native version by a wide margin, but it is worth consideration, if the lyrics matter; otherwise - not.
FENOMENAL :),

This is a great CD and I like it so much, that I've given it as a gift to several people and I will probably order more. I teach High School Spanish in NYC, hence the Spanish version and my students love the songs, "Vive ya" and "Vivo por ella". It is soothing and inspiring, Andrea Bocelli is a king and the duets are beautiful too. I highly recommend this CD :)
