Album Description:
The deluxe limited edition (CD & DVD) sets Andrea's songs in the romantic context of 1950s Naples. The limited deluxe package features 14 newly recorded songs and video footage of Incanto The Documentary - a Documentary about a time period in Italy when Naples & Rome were the "center of the world of romance." The footage shows scenes of Italy in `50's along with the iconic figures who lived, loved and laughed in this bygone era. The DVD also includes a music video of "Un Amore Cosi Grande" the opening track from Incanto, all in a hard bound book / "O" card package.
The archive materials provide a nostalgic snapshot of 1950s glamour, when Naples was the honeypot for the rich and famous. The footage captures the spirit of romance and optimism during the days of Andrea's childhood - a sense of optimism prevalent in post war Italy around the time of Andrea's birth is captured by the visual themes of the album. The incomparable natural beauty of southern Italy is celebrated, as well as the magical aura of the 1950s and La dolce vita , which has enchanted generation upon generation since. The DVD also includes an interview with Andrea shot in different locations in Naples. Andrea Bocelli's new studio album is a collection of the most famous Italian songs - including Mamma , Funiculi Funicula and Santa Lucia . They are the songs which have enchanted Andrea since childhood. Released to coincide with his 50th birthday, the album is a personal tribute to his musical heritage. Popularized through concert, radio and record and the film industry by the great tenors of the 19th and 20th centuries, this selection of songs is a celebration of the Italian tenor tradition . Thanks to the legendary voices of Enrico Caruso, Beniamino Gigli, Franco Corelli, Mario Lanza and Luciano Pavarotti, these songs have become a huge global export and fuelled the romance of generations to come. Incanto is also a homage to Love . It includes a group of songs which have told love stories in music for the past 170 years. The repertoire is a tribute to the many faces and places of love: love for a mother (Mamma); love for a woman (O surdato 'nammurato , Era di maggio , Un amore cosi grande , Non ti scordar di me ); love for a place (the pier in Santa Lucia, Mount Vesuvio in Funiculi Funicula ); love for a city (Napoli, Granada) and love for a country (Italy). Love for Italy , and a particular affection for Naples are prevalent themes throughout Incanto. Andrea has chosen one contemporary Neapolitan song - the "tarantella" Pulcinella , which highlights his fond connection to Naples and the city's unique position in the past, present and future of Italian song.

Andrea Bocelli's latest CD can be bought in the Deluxe edition which includes a DVD that is well-worth having. On the DVD, Bocelli is interviewed while in the Teatro San Carlo in Naples - where many of the operatic tenors of the past (Caruso, Gigli, Tagliavini, Pavarotti, Corelli) had their glory moments. He talks of how they affected him as a listener and how he hopes that his renditions of that same repertoire would touch his listeners in the same way. On this CD, however, Bocelli does not sing ...

I love this cd. It is one of his best! Of course I say that about all of his cds. Love "Un Amore Cosi Grande" and of course "Because". Grew up with Mario Lanza, he was born about two towns over from us so it was "local boy does good". Love Mr. Bocelli's music, and his book (autobiography) was excellent too.

Incanto (the deluxe edition) is on par with the very best of recorded sound. Highly recommended listening AND viewing which belongs in everyone's stocking this holiday season. Kudos to Andrea.

A voice like Andrea Bocelli's only comes along every generation or so, (if that) Caruso, Lanza, Pavarotti and Now Bocelli; They are my big 4. Not only does Bocelli have wonderful opera skills, but also tremendous pop singing skills, as well. As for classical singing; Bocelli's breath control is amazing; no one holds high, mid, and low notes (sang either intensely or softly) as long as Bocelli does. His diction is excellent; His tone is wonderful; His color is right in sink to the song being performed, ... Read More
