Romanza [Bonus Tracks]

by Andrea Bocelli

Overview

Romanza was designed to break Andrea Bocelli into the American market, not only to the European audience (most of the album is in Italian), but also the English-speaking mainstream pop audience (through the Sarah Brightman duet "Time to Say Goodbye"). The result is an accessible, well-crafted, and melodic pop record from a terrific operatic vocalist -- it's an album that very well could broaden his audience. [Romanza was released with three bonus tracks in 2016.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Editorial Reviews

Even folks who claim to hate opera have found themselves swooning over this dark, handsome, sexily scruffy singer whose albums have skyrocketed to the top of the crossover charts. But Bocelli is more than just a hunk with the husky tenor. There's a seductive catch in his voice, and his vocal prowess has been championed by none other than Luciano Pavarotti. Considering the phenomenal success of Romanza, a memorable collection of lush, quasi-operatic ballads, it's likely to be a long time before it's "Time to Say Goodbye" to Andrea Bocelli. Release date: December 1997.
