Favorite CD of the Moment

For Christmas, our old neighbors, The Bennetts, gave me Andrea Bocelli’s CD Vivere.  It’s fantastic.  My favorite CD of the moment.  My parents liked it so much that they burned a copy of it before I left.  There’s really something for everyone in this compilation of Bocelli’s best works–it’s opera-y but not too opera-ish, most of the songs are in Italian, but lots of them are duets with the woman singing in English (but these duets are well done.  Often times when artists start mixing languages, it’s a big mess, but this is not the case here).  Some of the songs are modern, some more romantic…if you like going to the theater, you’ll like this cd because it’s full of drama and passion: providing plenty of new material for your private operatic auditions.  Kenny G, Sarah Brightman and Celine Dion are a few of the artists that collaborate.  Listen to clips here.
