Review Andrea Bocelli - Sogno / Andrea Bocelli:Andrea Bocelli's Sogno ("Dream") is a pop album of entirely original compositions that evoke traditional and modern influences. Bocelli himself describes the CD as secular Italian traditional melodic music with a contemporary twist. The album's 14 tracks include "The Prayer", a Bocelli and Celine Dion duet produced by David Foster; "Come un Fiume Tu", an intriguing collaboration with soundtrack maestro Ennio Morricone; "O Mare e Tu", a duet with Dulce Pontes; and "Sogno" (the first single excerpted from the album), a light-as-a-feather, emotional composition sung by Bocelli with his typical vocal emphasis, which has made him famous around the world since the release of his self-titled debut. -Ernesto De Pascale.

Review The Best of the Three Tenors / Decca:Back in 1990, three of the world's most celebrated tenors, namely José Carreras, Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotii, combined forces to create the Three Tenors, now celebrated on a "best of" CD. They gave their first concert in Rome; that event was recorded and went on to become one of the best-selling classical titles of all time. This latest release brings together tracks from that night in Rome (including "Nessun dorma" and a competitive rendition of "O sole mio") with music performed in a 1994 concert in Los Angeles as well as at the 1998 event in Paris where the Three Tenors sang to an audience of thousands with the Eiffel Tower as their spectacular backdrop. The 22 tracks which comprise The Best of the Three Tenors range from operatic standards, such as the joyful "Brindisi" from La traviata to popular songs including "Singin' in the rain" via songs from the shows ("You'll Never Walk Alone" from Carousel). There are no solos on this disc-each piece is performed by all three singers. And with plenty of applause and cheering to be heard, not to mention the sense of fun in the singers' voices, the disc truly captures the atmosphere of these extraordinary musical events. -Rebecca Agnew.

Review The Original Four Seasons / Vanessa-Mae:This recording achieves the Herculean task of rescuing Vivaldi's oft- performed concerti from the hackneyed oblivion of elevator music, and ingeniously resuscitating them in an arresting and enthralling manner. It as if the parched roots of these pieces have been watered with something rather bracing and slightly alcoholic, and suddenly shot into blooms of brilliant red and electric blue. Vanessa-Mae, her producer Pamela Nicholson, and the group of highly acclaimed soloists and professors which makes up the orchestra Laureate, have all contributed to these exciting arrangements. The starting premise was that Vivaldi would have expected his soloists to embellish and elaborate the solo parts for themselves: on this recording that has meant fleshing out the orchestral parts so that they stretch the techniques of everyone involved, and turning the solo part itself into a Paganini-esque jeu d'esprit. (Following Sir Thomas Beecham's advice, who said that a harpsichord sounds like "skeletons copulating on a galvanised tin roof", that instrument has judiciously been omitted!) And the wonderful thing is that the programmatic sense of the seasons- - birds twittering, teeth chattering, hay-gathering etc-is not mocked, but reinforced. -Warwick Thompson.

Review The John Rutter Collection / Universal Classics:The John Rutter Collection brings together 22 pieces by one of the most popular choral composers of our time, compiled from several discs already released on the Collegium Label. All performed by The Cambridge Singers, the choir which Rutter founded back in 1981, the tracks range from the joyous "Shepherd's pipe carol" of 1966 to the 1995 setting of Philip Sidney's poem "My true love hath my hear" from Birthday Madrigals. The disc opens with one of Rutter's best-known works, the timeless "For the beauty of the earth" and also includes his settings of Psalm 23 and "All things bright and beautiful"-popular with choirs and audiences alike-as well as two movements each from his Magnificat and Requiem. Most tracks are accompanied by the City of London Orchestra, breathing new life into works which are normally heard with piano accompaniment. In his sleeve note, Rutter reminds us that he stood next to John Tavener in school choir; how extraordinary that these two boys would go on to have the international success that they have. And while Rutter will always have his detractors, one cannot help but admire the sense of joy and wonder encapsulated in each small but perfectly formed musical gem. -Rebecca Agnew.
