Not content with the simplistic "crossover" formula, superstar tenor Andrea Bocelli has been pursuing alternative paths since he emerged as a vocal phenomenon in the mid-1990s: operatic classics and contemporary popular song. The singer's last few albums have showcased his love for the former (including homages to his beloved Verdi: the Requiem and Verdi aria collection). But Cieli di Toscana ("Tuscan Skies") marks a triumphant return to the pop idiom last explored on Sogno, offering a highly varied series of the kind of beautifully crafted contemporary melodies that initially won Bocelli acclaim.
The familiar cast of songwriter-collaborators (including Francesco Sartori, responsible for the smash success "Time to Say Goodbye") mixes with new blood; Bocelli himself unveils his songwriting talents on "Il Diavolo e l'Angelo." It's a highly produced affair, but behind all the gloss, Bocelli sings with a newfound, relaxed, even mellow quality. There are intimately touching moments--"L'Incontro," a tribute to his first son featuring Bocelli's own poetry as read by U2's Bono--as well as soaring flights of lyricism (the duet "L'Abitudine" with Italian singer Helena). And on "Mascagni," with its quotes from that composer's operas, Bocelli makes another nod to his classical affinities. But whatever the style, Bocelli is a singer who knows how to go straight to his listeners' hearts. --Sarah Chin
Album Description
Exclusive UK version of Bocelli's third pop release includes the exclusive bonus track 'Tornera La Neve' and CD-ROM. The album also features 'L'Incontro' a duet with Gerard Depardieu. David Foster co-composes some of the tracks on this album as well. 2001.

See Other Andrea Bocelli Review.......2007-07-06
Just what it says. See my other Andrea Bocelli reviews to get the idea I really like this guy.
Emotional therapy!.......2007-05-14
"He is all heart; there's no pretense. You can feel it." No kidding. These were my mom's last comments about Bocelli two months before she left earthly existence.
This album helped me process a lot of emotional residue affiliated with the strain of difficult dynamics between my mom and myself.
Don't get me wrong. The music isn't sad; it's pure heart and emotion, so it may evoke emotions. The last cut, "L'Ultimo Re" is gorgeous with the way his voice soars!
E.A. Davis, author: Waiting for Wings: Accompanying a Parent to the Edge of Life
Great music!.......2006-12-18
I bought the album before listening to any of the songs, because i'm a Bocelli fan. I was not disappointed. Wonderful melodies, beautiful voice.My personal favourites are Melodramma, Chiara and Resta Qui, but this is a great cd overall.
Cieli di Toscana.......2006-08-25
There is no other voice quite like Andrea's voice. I keep listening to this CD over and over as some of the songs just touch my heart, both with his voice and the written arrangements. One of my very favorites from Andrea. He has the same qualities to his voice with popular songs as he does with opera. When following the English translations in the CD case, the message of each song becomes very clear through the inflections and tonal quality of his voice.
LOVE IT!!!!.......2006-08-25
What more can I say once agian a total great cd, that will sure to become my favorite and my kids love it too!!! Ages 5, 8, and 15. WOW>>>>> Pleases all ages,LOVE IT LOVE LOVE IT

cieli di toscana.......2005-09-07
Lo siento, no hablo ingles, pero para mis es un disco muy bueno,tanto es que viene en espanol y en italiano.
Cieli Di Toscana.......2001-11-06
The music on this CD is a gift to the senses and to the soul. The dynamics of Andrea Bocelli's voice have developed and become more devastatingly beautiful than ever. He uses his incredible gift with sensational mobility and versatility to transform songs into masterful works of art.
This music is different in many ways when compared to earlier releases. In "Chiara", his voice is more stirring and more sensual than ever. With "Il Diavolo E L'Angelo", he shifts into high gear with a new and intense vitality and rhythm that caught me (and my family) by complete surprise. He demonstrates unique power to reach from the softest tones into the loftiest notes.
Before I received this CD as a gift, I wondered if Andrea Bocelli could really succeed in impressing me again as dramatically as he did with Romanza and Sogno. Now I know...and the answer has left me breathless and spellbound all over again.

Customer Reviews:
From the review in Fanfare.......2006-08-01
Here is a nice collection of Schubert overtures, performed with warm Italian cordiality by an orchestra & conductor who are given no identification beyond their names. Is the ORT Orchestra della Toscana located in Florence or somewhere else in Tuscany? And where did Maestro Renzetti learn his stick-technique? It is a good one, & Schubert's music blooms under it.
Besides the two familiar "Overtures in the Italian Style" (only the second, in C major, really qualifies for that claim; both are essentially Schubert, pure & simple), there is the rare overture to an obscure comedy called "Der Teufel als Hydraulicus," & the neglected Overture in B flat, which is believed to have formed part of a birthday cantata. From the vast treasure-trove of Schubert's operas, which is only now beginning to be explored, come the curtain-raisers to "Die Freunde von Salamanca," the one-acter "Die Zwillingsbrueder," & the last two big Romantic operas.
Renzetti makes all these pieces sing. The recorded sound is as light & airy as the performances.

Played with passion and interpretation, the piano nocturnes were delightful to listen to!
From a rather biased listener..........2004-01-04
This CD has been nominated for two Grammies in the 2004 Grammy Awards. This was a work of love, and I highly recommend this CD for its beautiful playing and production. A collection of many previous unrecorded nocturnes, it is great music for just relaxing.
Give it a listen!

Instrumental music from the late 16th and early 17th centuries is not easy to find on disc--partly because the genre was just beginning to come of age during this period and, unlike vocal and choral music, there was not yet any great body of published repertoire. Regardless, if more of what exists were recorded-- what's on this disc, for instance--and more people got a chance to hear it, they would be pleasantly surprised and would want more of it. They'd be especially surprised at the sophistication of the music of Peter Philips, a virtually ignored English composer who lived most of his life in what is now Belgium. This music for viols and lute is equal in quality and sheer beauty to music by Philips's contemporaries Byrd and Dowland, and thanks to the efforts of the Parley of Instruments--their playing also will blow you away--we get to hear it and, yes, to want more. --David Vernier

Customer Reviews:
Delightful - why was this music so underrated?.......1999-03-15
Conductor Peter Holman has done a tremendous service to English baroque music by researching, restoring, staging and recording some of the half-forgotten masterpieces by English composers of the 16th and 17th centuries. This disc is a collection of excerpts from compositions issued on other discs in the English Orpheus series. It's always good to have a collection as a way of introducing people to what's out there. Yet, if you can afford it, buy at least some of the complete volumes in this series. I would particularly recommend Dibdin's Ephesian Matron (the CD also contains two shorter works by the same composer); and Lampe's Pyramus & Thisbe.
