Excellent! Best music available. Voices they should be proud of. Obviously have worked very hard at their craft. Cannot hear them without being moved. Thank you for your talent.

GREAT!!!!
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I found them by accident and I am forever grateful. My mother, 85 yrs old, loves this group. Although she doesn't understand the various languages they sing, she is mesmerized just like I am. Some of their work is invigorating and stimulating, other is emotional, others relaxing/soothing. They have it and do it all.

This is great to listen to with a cup of tea when you can relax and get into the music and the voices of angels.

A friend sent me an e-mail containing Il Divo's version of Amazing Grace which prompted me to order the CD. After listening to the one I received, I proceeded to order 2 more of their recordings and look forward to another in the future. These are four magnificient voices which blend together in a beautiful way.

My mother has listened to this cd over and over and over again. It was well worth the money. Granted, the price was a little higher than other stores, but the membership discount helped bring it down to the average price. Plus, it was in stock at B & N after Oprah's premier when other retail stores were out.

Il Divo is the most beautiful music that I have heard in a long time. Their harmonizing is perfect! Until I first heard them, I was always hoping for a group to sing harmony not only in classical music but also in the songs familiar to me from the past. This is it! I wish they would do songs of Mario Lanza.

I have not heard great music of this type for years. I stopped listening to the radio when my Husband died. Just happened to be going thru the TV Guide one evening and our PBS station had IL Divo on and I caught the last part of a song and I was Hooked on All their music. So glad Simon Cowell found these young men. They are the best.

Even though I'm unable to understand the words I could not be more Pleased with their combined voices. I do WISH that they would put out an album sung in english very soon.

I heard them first on Goodmorning America, I think. I immediately ordered a CD for myself and one for each of my four childres-grown adults. You can understand why "Mama" reduces me to tears. Such beautiful voices and such perfect pitch...they blend together without fault. I listened to them continually. I found that my kids loved them also, because they had them in their cars to hear on the way to work, etc. Thanks for this wonderful group.

Once you hear them sing you have to listen to them over and over again. Some of the songs, no matter how many times I hear them, bring me to tears. Il Divo is definitely romance, sex and passion in music! And they don't look so bad either! I love the baritone of Carlos and the suaveness of Sebastien. If you can't listen with someone you love --- take a romance book, glass of wine. Keep the music coming!

Il Divos' voices are mind blowing. David Miller's Tenor and harmonizing is heart wrenching and beautiful at the same time. Carlos Marin's Baritone and range is amazing and refreshing. Urs Buhler's voice is unique and indescribable sort of a Steve Perry (from Journey) voice where it sounds great it doesn't matter what type of voice he has. Sebastien Izambard has a beautiful tenor that is more pop but still a perfect match with the three classically trained operatic singers. You won't be disappointed if you pick this up and are looking for true talent and voices.

Beautiful and moving! The voices of these young men blend together and produce such a heavenly sound. My spirit soars, and I am moved nearly to tears. It is so wonderful that more and more people are becoming interested in this type of music. I'm so grateful that I was raised to appreciate all music.

This is a great CD! The voices and music are very beautiful and i was impressed by all the songs. My favorite songs were "Unbreak my Heart" and "Passera." I think each member is very talented and even though they would sound better individually, they still made a very good CD that i would definitely recommend to all!

I had never heard of Il Divo until my aunt played the cd in her car. I fell in love and bought it the very next day. I love all the songs and play it over and over again in my car, in my computer, and every chance I get. I love the song "Passera" even though I don't understand a word of it and I think Sebastian is gorgeous!! I can't wait until they come to my area to perform.

All my friends are tiring of hearing me rave about the CD. I listen every chance I get. I'm not a fan of opera but I do appreciate trained voices. As an aspiring student of Italian, I'm having fun translating the lyrics of those songs in Italian. I'm looking forward to the next CD Buona fortuna Il Divo!

Until last Friday night during the Daytime Emmy Awards I had never heard of IL DIVO but once I heard their Italian version of Unchained Melody I became hooked. They have a new fan for life. LIA78

Building on the success of such popular acts as Amici Forever and the Three Tenors, the all-male quartet Il Divo join forces for this stirring self-titled debut. The result of a talent search launched by American Idol judge Simon Cowell, the photogenic foursome -- Spaniard Carlos Marin, American David Miller, Frenchman Sebastian Izambard, and Swiss Urs Buhler -- put forth their collective vocal talents in a program of operatically flavored pop, including such favorites as "Nella Fantasia" a Sarah Brightman signature and an Italian version of "My Way," as well as songs in Spanish the opening "Regresa a mi" -- based on Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart" and English "Every ...
