Andrea Bocelli is the epitome of romantic Italian music. Born in
\n1958 in the Tuscan countryside (lucky man), he says he “lives his
\nlife with calm vision, enjoying life’s simple pleasures.” He grew
\nup among vineyards and olive groves; a natural backdrop for
\nromance. His love of Italian opera was encouraged at an early age.
\nHe started playing piano at age six.<\/p>\n
Born with glaucoma, he lost his remaining sight in a soccer
\naccident at the age of 12. It is said that when one sense is lost,
\nthe others become extremely defined and sensitized. Does that count
\nfor the voice too? With Andrea it has indeed proven true; he has
\nthe voice of love. There is no way to more accurately describe his
\nvocalizations. If the feeling of love could be put into a sound, it
\nwould be the voice of Bocelli.<\/p>\n
\nSogno<\/i> is a modern pop album mixed with the music of
\ntraditional Italy. “Tremo E T’amo” expresses this with the thought
\n“delle rose, del vino e di cose” — “of roses, of wine, of life’s
\nother joys.” This is a beautiful piece of music. And it expresses
\nperfectly the Italian ideal of life — to slow down, take time to
\nexperience life rather than just live it.<\/p>\n
Bocelli’s heart pours into each and every song and it is at its
\nstrongest on a duet with Celine Dion called “The Prayer.” The
\nsingle made a huge swoop across the US as a single, providing many
\nlisteners with their first exposure to this gentleman’s work. The
\ncouple plead for divine protection. The combination of Dion and
\nBocelli is mesmerizing and it is an extraordinary cooperative
\neffort.<\/p>\n
“Un Canto” is performed without flaw, both orchestrally and
\nvocally. Andrea is so strong that the music seems unworthy of his
\nattention, but he modestly uses it to develop the romantic
\natmosphere of the song. “Un Canto” tells the story of two people
\nblending into one and the love that is shared.<\/p>\n
Bocelli is very humble about his talents. But nonetheless, he
\nhas gone platinum in Belgium, Germany, Holland, and Italy even
\nbefore becoming popular in the United States. Anyone that takes
\nhonest time to listen to him can’t help but be drawn into a world
\nof comfort and warmth — he woos you and he makes you feel good
\nabout love again. If you don’t know how to tell a special lady how
\nyou feel about her, let Andrea Bocelli and
\nSogno<\/i> do it for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":26912,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[7104],"rating":[5646],"class_list":["post-38213","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-andrea-bocelli","rating-rating-a"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/38213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/46"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/38213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38213"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=38213"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=38213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
