Recorded in a Roman cathedral, Sacred Arias is deeply spiritual and tenderly sung in the world's most beautiful voice. A Billboard bestseller, certified platinum. (62 minutes)\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nWhen he was growing up, Andrea Bocelli recalls finding inspiration in a favourite 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\nSacred Arias, the release of which coincides with the first major English-language biography of the singer. These performances are filled with the singer's phenomenally well-known vocal signature: his flair for long, sweetly floating high notes and the gentle sense of cadence he brings to a melody. It's a mistake to compartmentalise Bocelli into a singer of \"operatic\" versus \"popular\" styles: in truth his approach is at heart the same. Lack of colour 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: Schubert's \"Ave Maria\" and Mozart's transporting \"Ave Verum,\" as well as an arrangement of \"Silent Night\" in which Bocelli tries out his English. There's also a decidedly odd choice of bedfellows for a programme of \"sacred\" music, such as a song from Wagner's\nWesendonck Lieder (whose \"angel\" is the object of an overpoweringly erotic attraction) and Handel's 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. --\nThomas May\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 792837320610\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521312542564\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e english\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45929765240866,"sku":"2Y-5LOJ-RA06","price":3.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/51WLinLPBfL.jpg?v=1783570437","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/fr\/products\/andrea-bocelli-sacred-arias-cd-used","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
