I have always been deeply moved by music to the very core of my being, at times bringing tears and actual pain in hearing particularly moving pieces performed.  Andrea Bocelli's singing comes from within his soul and inner self, as demonstrated by his incredible expressiveness of what he is singing.  He also has a huge lung/breath capacity, and to me unimagineable capabilities in controlling it.  I am definitely not an opera officianado, but thoroughly enjoy this concert of familiar exerpts including some in duet with Nuccia Focile.  The sections of the tape which are of him speaking of his home and family are especially endearing and much appreciated.  Too often we put artists/operatic singers on a pedestal and fail to remember that they, like us, are warm human beings who treasure their homes and family.
