Alongside Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli is one of the best known and most popular classical singers to have achieved mainstream crossover appeal. One listen to UNDER A DESERT SKY shows why. Bocelli's gorgeous tenor is authoritative enough to reflect his classical training, yet light and mellifluous enough to convey pop material with unerring charm. The set's first disc features live recordings of the Tuscan-born singer's renditions of pop favorites like "Can't Help Falling in Love," "Besame Mucho," and Neil Diamond's "September Morn."
Stevie Wonder, Chris Botti, and Heather Headley each join Bocelli for a stirring duet, yet this is Bocelli's show through and through. The effects of his seductive croon and mesmerizing performances are even more powerful on the second disc, an 18-track DVD from the PBS Special featuring Bocelli in Las Vegas. The full spectacle of Bocelli's live show is on display, making it a must for fans of the vocalist. A bevy of bonus features, including interviews with the artist, round out the package.
