Sacred Arias / Myung-Whun Chung Philips Philips When he was growing up Andrea Bocelli recalls finding inspiration in a favorite recording of sacred music performed by tenor legend Franco Corelli Bocelli--who in the meantime has come to inspire millions of fiercely loyal fans himself--returns to the genre as the guiding theme of Sacred Arias the release of which coincides with the first English-language biography of the singer These performances are filled with the singers phenomenally well-known vocal signature his flair for long sweetly floating high notes and the gentle sense of cadence he brings to a melody Its a mistake to compartmentalize Bocelli into a singer of operatic versus popular styles in truth his approach is at heart the same Lack of color and control in his phrasing remains a drawback but the emotional empathy Bocelli evokes is never in doubt The arias collected here sample some of the most famous devotional pieces Schuberts Ave Maria and Mozarts transporting Ave Verum as well as an arrangement of Silent Night in which Bocelli tries out his English Theres also a decidedly odd choice of bedfellows for a program of sacred music such as a song from Wagners Wesendonck Lieder whose angel is the object of an overpoweringly erotic attraction and Handels figurative ode to a tree Ombra mai fu Still Bocelli sings with an unfeigned directness that is sure to expand his already enormous following even further --Thomas May Pavarotti's Greatest Hits Decca Back by popular demand--Pavarottis Greatest Hits Celebrate the life and career of Luciano Pavarotti--the worlds most famous tenor and King of the High Cs First released as an LP in 1980 and then again in 1985 this is one of Pavarottis best-selling albums Instantly recognizable cover features classic photo of Luciano Pavarotti dressed as Pagliaccio from I pagliacci Chock-full of his all-time greatest hits including Nessun dorma La donna mobile Vesti la giubba Funiculi Funicul and more Reissued in a slim-line jewel box for the first time and at a special 2 for 1 price point Heres a feast of great tenor singing Its also a feast of thrills--one selection after another offers Pavarottis remarkable full-throated excitement in the music whether the infectious spirit of his renditions of Neapolitan songs or the trumpet-like High Cs he effortlessly tears off in the extended scene from Donizettis La fille du regiment Apparent throughout is Pavarottis big-hearted emotional generosity that infuses this superb collection with an immediacy and communicative power thats impossible to resist Of course Nessun dorma is here to lead off the set with the tenors biggest hit but his other Puccini arias are if anything even more compelling Verdi is represented by such well-loved Pavarotti favorites as La donna mobile and Questa o quella from Rigoletto Hes as compelling in the Ingemisco from Verdis Requiem the voice blooming in the Inter oves section and then fined down to a gorgeous pianissimo But theres not a single weak track on these discs whose attractions are enhanced by full texts and translations --Dan Davis Mozart - Requiem / Augér, Bartoli, Cole, Pape, Wiener Phil., Solti Decca Prayer: A Windham Hill Collection RCA RCA We Three Kings Razor & Tie Theres a commercial inevitability to holiday song collections that can tempt music fans to mutter humbug under their breath Yet while this collection released in conjunction with the Tenors Christmas Spectacular tour of 2003 is no less market savvy in the end the trios earnest energetic performances earn their fair shair of respect The trios Celtic shadings impart considerable warmth to Fairytale of New York and other performances but its the range of influences they also in solo and duet turns all solidly backed by the Czech National Chamber Orchestra bring to bear elsewhere that adds compelling new dimensions to these holiday favorites Anthony Kearns It Came Upon a Midnight Clear may be solidly traditional but Ronan Tynan imparts Ill Be Home For Christmas with some deft jazzy drama while Finbar Wright gives Marys Boy Child an unexpected Carribean spin Elsewhere the folk-classical influences behind We Three Kings O Holy Night and the gospel traditional How Great Thou Art span renaissance baroque and modern with a grace missing from the on-the-sleeve sentiments of the closing duo of patriotic warhorses--what would the Prince of Peace make of The Battle Hymn of the Republic anyway --Jerry McCulley
