Product Description

In 2001, an idea was conceived for a mould breaking quartet: 4 exceptional young men with formally trained voices who could take popular songs, old and new, to another level where the historic rift between pop and classical music is finally healed. The band were formed after a world-wide search which took more than 2 years. The result is 'Il Divo', consisting of an American, Frenchman, Spaniard and a Swiss, spent the first half of 2004 in London rehearsing and recording.

Some of their songs will be familiar like 'Nella Fantasia' (based on 'Gabriel's Oboe' from Ennio Morricone's penned score of 'The Mission') and a unique and powerful version of Toni Braxton's 'Unbreak My Heart'. The 4 principles share the lead throughout, combining to deliver choruses whose awesome power is matched by their tonal delicacy. Passion and restraint they show to be an irresistible aphrodisiac. Reflecting the multi-national character of the group, the songs are not all sung in English - but drift between Spanish, English and Italian.

　普段はクラシックＣＤしか購入していない...

投稿日：2010/10/16 (土)

　普段はクラシックＣＤしか購入していない私ですが、クラシックＣＤの棚に置いてあったのでどんなものかなあと思って購入してみました。聞いてみるといきなりギターやドラムの音がするので一瞬”買い間違い”かなと思いましたが、歌が進むにつれて”思いがけなく未知の分野に出会えた幸福感”に満たされて行きました。クラシックの歌手でたとえれば３大テノールといわれていたドミンゴなどに匹敵するような歌声の持ち主が４人集まっているのですから大きな感動を生みださないわけはありません。　１曲目のUNBREAK　MY　HEARTはソロの部分のしみじみとした感じと重唱の力強さが心にぐんぐんと迫ってくる大変な名曲です。この曲だけ何回も聞きたくなります。
