      Andrea Bocelli: A Night in Tuscany [Region 2]


Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
Part concert, part documentary, part travelogue, this video hit duplicates the sleeper success of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli's album compilations and underscores his unique crossover appeal. In the U.S., Bocelli's critical response has been confined to fusillades of scorn from classical and opera writers, but the bulletproof superstar is better understood in the context of Europe's more established tradition of pop-classical fusions. Ironically, fans abroad are less prickly than stateside arbiters about the need for a discreet wall between high (classical) art and low (pop) kitsch, which Bocelli cheerfully ignores with his mix of operatic chestnuts, soft pop, and traditional Italian songs. Indeed, despite interview segments in which he proclaims his love of opera or proudly recalls an apprenticeship to operatic veteran Franco Corelli, Bocelli comes across as more fan than virtuoso. But if his voice can prompt technical cavils from hard-core opera buffs, the blind singer's emotional directness and relative lack of onstage preening explain much of his populist appeal. Featured songs include warhorse arias, leading off with the "Louie, Louie" of tenor showpieces, Turandot's "Nessun Dorma," and duets with gruff Italian pop-rocker Zucchero and sopranos Nuccia Focile and Sarah Brightman (who buddies up for the tear-jerking closer, "Time to Say Goodbye"). Even with the marquee bonus of those guests, however, A Night in Tuscany gets its biggest boost from the seductive Italian countryside, prominently featured in between-song segments, and in the romantic concert setting, Pisa's Piazza dei Cavalieri. --Sam Sutherland

Reviews:

A beautiful performance!
I have always been deeply moved by music to the very core of my being, at times bringing tears and actual pain in hearing particularly moving pieces performed. Andrea Bocelli's singing comes from within his soul and inner self, as demonstrated by his incredible expressiveness of what he is singing. He also has a huge lung/breath capacity, and to me unimagineable capabilities in controlling it. I am definitely not an opera officianado, but thoroughly enjoy this concert of familiar exerpts including some in duet with Nuccia Focile. The sections of the tape which are of him speaking of his home and family are especially endearing and much appreciated. Too often we put artists/operatic singers on a pedestal and fail to remember that they, like us, are warm human beings who treasure their homes and family.

Did not come sealed.
Bought this for a gift... seller said it was new. It looked new but was not wrapped up in plastic. Disc looked real but It did not look like I purchased it from a store. Did not hear about the quality of dvd yet. Assume no news is good news!

Andrea Bocelli - A Night in Tuscany
Bocelli remains a wonderful singer, this recording proves that time and again. It's fine that Bocelli is not an Opera singer, but rather a singer that sings opera (very nicely.) This wonderful singer has made his place in recorded music history. Opera lovers and music lovers will agree, he sings very memorable and lovable songs with a magic that is unsurpassed. Cheers Bocelli! Cheers!

Exhilarating
This is one of Andrea Bocelli's finest DVD's. It's a wonderful combination of his music, his family, his roots and passions. Another glimpse of an extraordinary man and tenor.

Perfection
Andrea is a gift to the those of us who dare to dream and be happy when listening to the beautiful melodies he interprets in such a fantastic way, and regardless of the language! Bravo!
