Title: Mass Hypnosis
Review: The only thing that can account for the acclaim that some have lavished on this album is mass hypnosis. Signor Bocelli's publicists have declared that he has 'the most beautiful voice in the world' and people believe it. I agree with the reviewer who described listening to this cd as painful. Everything sounds the same---like sandpaper. If he were not adorable and blind, this fellow would not have a career even as a pop artist, never mind opera singer. If you want to hear what opera sounds like at its best and most real today, check out Ramon Vargas, Juan Diego Florez, Rolando Villazon, Marcello Giordani and discover the difference between creme brulee and instant pudding.
