5 out of 5 stars Mesmerized.......2006-01-12

I simply love it. A co-worker at a store I worked at in Boston used to bring it in to play, and gave me a copy for Christmas, probably back in 1994 or so. The songs, and oh...that voice! I don't know French, and maybe that's part of the reason I can play it over and over, because I don't understand the lyrics, so I never do get tired of them! However, there are times when I wish I knew what he was singing about, but the literal English translations that I can find simply have no feeling to them, let alone make much sense. I also have a few other CDs of his, and am dying to get the latest DVD! If anyone can help with they lyrics - and the meaning the songs convey, please let me know! Until then, ignorance is still bliss...

5 out of 5 stars easy to LOVE this... .......2005-10-05

Just about a week ago, a friend of mine introduced me to this CD.
Not on purpose, mind you-he just popped it in the CD player in the car. I was amazed from my first listening experience how comfortable and gently beautiful the lyrics AND instrumentation blend together. My favorits at this early stage (although I admit I'm completely addicted to this CD) are Je t'aime...Les Vidanges Du Diable....Le Noceur... & Samedi Soir. My knowledge of the french language (at best) is very elementary...but I'm learning. And Francis Cabrel makes it very easy to want to learn more.

5 out of 5 stars Escaping from French Neil Diamond Syndrome.......2004-06-14

Cabrel's earlier albums carry a definite Neil Diamond-esque feel to them. This album manages to cast this aside (as much as is possible) and acheives a very mature yet fresh and energetic feel to it. Nearly completely acoustic, it has a great folksy feel. I love all but maybe one or two songs on this album (and even those "disliked" songs would make me pause on the radio dial if I heard them). Cabrel makes perfect use of the 4 minute mileu to make his points or tell his stories, which generally manage to be both specific and generally applicable stories, hence making them resonate beyond the bounds of the words themselves. Lastly, Cabrel is great for learners of French as he sings clearly and is relatively easy to understand, yet sounds as French as French can be.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant.......2004-04-28

What an amazing record. The sound Cabrel captured is so full, and so resonant. I was visiting Paris with a friend and was talking to her one morning while she was drying her hair when the video for "Je T'Aimais..." came on Channel 6. We both stopped talking and listened with our jaws hanging, then immediately ran out and bought the CD. It has been one of my favorites ever since.

5 out of 5 stars I want to play this song for my Father and I at my wedding.........2004-03-05

My real father abandoned me when I was a baby. I was raised by a foster family in Quebec and this man was and always will be my DAD...he doesn't speak english very well and I now live in the US, so no one will understand the words....I need to share that.

I was wondering if there are lyrics written somewhere...I would like to translate them into english......this is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. A testament to the purity of love between and Father and daughter.

I get so emotional when I hear it....

          On this disc, tenor Roberto Alagna concentrates solely on the work of bel canto masters Donizetti and Bellini. These are composers who foreground vocal timbre and rely on highly decorated melodies to propel their dramas. Alagna's voice is therefore placed under a rather harsh spotlight, with none of the carefully wrought orchestral effects or complex harmonies of Verdi and Puccini (his more usual operatic territory) to support him. Generally, he succeeds beautifully and produces some rich, varied singing with a burnished heroic edge. In the more declamatory arias, such as "Sfolgorò divino raggio" from Poliuto and "Me protegge" from Norma, his powerful high Cs and C-sharps are stunning and raise the hairs on the back of your head--they're not called "money notes" for nothing. He is less successful in the gentler areas of the repertoire, however, with its long-breathed delicate melodies that call for a greater degree of legato--the tender "Una furtiva lagrima" from L'elisir d'amore is wrestled into submission rather than caressed. That said, the orchestral playing is delicious, particularly in "Sogno soave" from Don Pasquale, and the overall disc contains much to please. --Warwick Thompson

          2 out of 5 stars Can Belto...But not much else........2003-03-05

          I'm an Alagna fan, have all his CDs. As the previous reviewer noted, this is a fascinating one -- but more so for how absolutely wrong-headed it is. This is not the ideal repertory for a singer with as light (and that's a compliment), romantic and expressive a voice as Alagna. Or perhaps he just doesn't know what to do with it. He pretty much bellows each number, throwing the notes out to the 5th balcony -- unfortunately, not always hitting them correctly. In fact, Alagna is so often singing below the pitch here that when he actually nails a note dead-on it's a bit startling. If you don't know this singer's work, by all means start with his debut CD, his French arias CD, or perhaps the first CD he recorded with his wife Angela Gheorgieu. If you are a fan and must have this CD, don't say you weren't warned.

          4 out of 5 stars Fascinating CD.......2002-12-18

          I enjoyed Roberto Alagna's singing ever since his first album of opera arias came out. The lyric instrument has darkened a little over the past decade, but it's still a very exciting and unique, clearly setting Alagna apart from so-called cross-over tenors who haven't sang a single role onstage. Alagna, along with José Cura, Ramon Vargas, and most recently Salvatore Licitra, form a distinct group that I would like to call REAL New tenors, capable of not only singing these roles onstage, but infusing them with personality and energy.
          The recital at hand pays tribute to the tradition of Bel Canto era and, while some notable music is not represented (most regrettably, Edgardo's death scene from Lucia), it's not to be missed.
          First aria from Poliuto is ringing and heroic, and it sets a tone for the whole disc - it's a disc of achievements. Those looking for "money notes" will find them aplenty here.
          The aria from La Somnabula is a sharp contrast -- the singing is much lighter, with real care for the legato line, simply beautiful.
          La favorite - I actually prefer it sung in Italian, a little more delicacy is needed here. And where's the bass voice? Did not care much for the falsetto notes at all in Un ange une femme inconnue... However, the aria more known as "Spirito Gentil" is sang with real feeling and warmth.
          "Meco all'altar di Venere" from "Norma" is a little bombastic, remember that the character is telling a dream.
          The "money note" from "A te diro negli ultimi" sounds like it just does not belong there, forced and out of place. I have an unconventional view on high C's, C-sharps, and D's: a tenor can be a wonderful singer without them (oh what blasphemy). If a tenor does chose to sing them, they should be of consistently good quality. Alagna sings some beautifully, but some come out either forced or not 100% clear. I hate to do comparisons, but there are still some great Donizetti and Bellini recordings featuring young Luciano Pavarotti. Even though he did not do as much vocal coloration or characterization, his high notes were ringing with perfect clarity, sounding effortless and even playful.
          "A te o cara" is supposed to be an ensemble, but in this arrangement you can't quite hear the lower voices, just Gheorghiu soaring above... In this case, by the way, the tenor's high C's are beautifully and passionately sang.
          Interesting arrangement of Una furtiva lagrima", this is a fine morsel in this album. This Nemorino is definitely more mature and sympathetic than the one Alagna did for the complete recording of L'Elisir.
          The recital ends with what's bound to be a controversial recording of "Ah, mes amis". While I understand what Alagna was trying to accomplish with singing in "different voices", it still was a bit strange to hear. Same comment about high C's here as above.
          Overall, I would give it 4 stars. If anything, it's quite "gutsy" and it alone would be worthy of praise.

          3 out of 5 stars What Happened to a Wonderful Voice?.......2002-11-08

          With great expectations I purchased this disc. I was awaiting more of the vocalism I had heard on other Alagna recital discs. I was disappointed. I had noticed a raspiness in the Tosca recording, but was hoping it was my imagination, or that he was having a bad day. But NO! This recording shows definite signs of vocal deterioration, misuse, strain, I don't know what else I can say. The more dramatic arias he can still get away with, but the high notes are pushed and thin. Where it really shows up is in the sustained lines. And let's not kid ourselves, all the high C's in the Regiment aria are dubbed in later (and not very well). For those of us who love Alagna, there is still much to admire in this recording. The artistry and intelligence of the other recitals is still present. The voice is still a marvel. But I am saddened that a once magnificent instrument is showing the signs of fading at this early date, instead of lasting for the long healthy career it so richly deserves.

          5 out of 5 stars LOVELY RECITAL.......2002-09-24

          I own many recordings of tenor recitals. However, Roberto Algana's new Bel Canto disc has certainly gone to the top of my favorite list. I have listened to it many time having a very difficult time getting past selection number 17 (Tonio's aria from act two of the Daughter of the Regiment) without re-listening to that particular selection two or three times before moving on.
          I feel that Roberto has got to be in his prime or at least very close to it. His singing on this album is just beautiful. There are so many high B's, high B flats,and high C's that he should be crowned the "king of the high notes"! Nevertheless, fabulously sung high notes are not the whole story on this recital. He has perfect control of his voice blending all registers just perfectly and interpreting each selection exquisitely. He even has a slight tear in his voice on the more emotional items recorded. There is power to spare as well as much tenderness.
          I truly love this recital and only wish that he could record each opera represented therein in its entirety
          If you love beautiful singing along with wonderful high notes, get this album.

          5 out of 5 stars Alagna's Bel Canto.......2002-09-02

          This CD is bonanza for the high notes freaks (like me). High C's, D-Flats and even a glorious
          High D natural at the end of Roberto Devereux's " A the diro..". Besides those full voiced high notes, he
          regales us with perfectly executed appoggiaturas, diminuendos, floating head tones, like the high D-flat
          ending of "Un Ange.." from La favorite.
          The range of tenorial platitudes covered by Alagna in this CD certainly could earn him the title
          of "Primo Tenore Assolutto". Because, at least on record, he does justice to all of those titles enumerated
          above. He may not erase memories of some of the competitors from the past, but certainly [...] no one
          from the current tenor crop, can sing these selections better than him.
          Throughout this CD, Alagna's voice is firm, full toned with a ring that makes him easily identifiable.

          His incursions into the heroic/spinto Tenor repertory are more than satisfying.
          "Sfolgero divino raggio" is a good example, but this aria really belongs to Corelli. For those of you with short
          memory, please listen to the live 1960 La Scala recording. Corelli's legato and beauty of tone are
          unsurpassed. Alagna's phrasing is a little choppy here.
          For some unexplained reason, Alagna's rendition seem to be lowered half tone; his ending
          note is a high-C , not a D-Flat as Corelli's.
          On the other extreme, his "Sogno soave.." is a good example of his versatility, since it is sung with the required
          dynamics and soft tones.
          The two arias from "L'Elisir", although satisfyingly sung, when compared with those form his first complete commercial
          recording of this opera, show the price that he has paid for widening his repertory. That original Di Stefano like sweetness
          has been replaced by a somewhat more metallic sound.
          All the above been said, I highly recommend this album for those following Alagna's career, and of course for
          the newbbies. Alagna must be commended for constantly stepping into the more demanding repertory...

            Although Marcelo Álvarez started his professional career comparatively late, he rose up quickly--perhaps too quickly. On his first CD, Bel Canto, which featured Italian arias, he displayed a bright, lyrical voice of great sweetness, a fine high range with a ringing top, and admirable breath control. His second CD, devoted to the music of his fellow Argentinean Gardel, was even more impressive for its stylistic and idiomatic identification.

            This is Álvarez's third CD in three years; unfortunately, it is not as successful. One reason is that the program includes too many slow arias, several taken from operas better known in their Italian version. In fact, the aria from Donizetti's La Favorita is also included on Álvarez's Italian disc. Another reason is that his voice sounds a bit frayed, tight, and harsh under stress, and the florid passages seem labored. However, it is still beautiful in the soft, lyrical pieces. Among the highlights are the two arias from Massenet's Manon--the first for its passion, the second for its floating mezza voce--and the arias from Gounod's Faust and Verdi's Don Carlo. The program seems to have been chosen for its display of high Cs (there is even one D-flat), and Álvarez exploits them to the hilt, letting them last as long as possible, whether indicated by the composer or not. His expressiveness is genuine, but often exaggerated, his diction almost unintelligible. The orchestra plays well and sounds lush; among the solos those for violin and viola d'amore stand out. --Edith Eisler

            5 out of 5 stars Marcelo Alvarez-French Arais.......2002-04-09

            I bought this CD 2 months ago and I'd been listening to this CD almost everyday. This is a must have CD in anybody's collection. This CD is an excellent introduction to Opera for those who are not so fond of the Opera. I am not one of those people who will argue that Alvarez is the BEST opera singer ever, but this album is one of the BEST. Each track is sung with passion and meaning imbedded into the words,even though Mr. Alvarez is not a native France and not in excellent command of the french pronounciation. But Music itself is a Universal language. What matters here in his interpretation and passion in his voice in which he sang very intelligently. The range of the man is truly remarkable. If you are interested in giving some attention to this singer, then "The Bel Canto " CD is by far his BEST to date, so I heartily recommend it. Mr. Alvarez is one of the promising tenors of the 21st Century along with Ramon Vargas and his fellow Argetine the versatile musician, Jose Cura.The choices of songs for this album is ones that are non very well known, but you cannot deny the greatness of Alvarez's voice. Mr. Alvarez an opera singer with a sweetness that has not been heard since Carlo Bergonzi. Listening to Marcelo Alvarez brings beauty to opera. Whether loud or soft is not the point. His voice has a purity and gentle emotion that is spectacular.

            4 out of 5 stars Very Satisfying, If A Bit Flawed.......2002-03-08

            Marcelo Alvarez is an Argentine, and thus French is not his native language, and it shows. So a linguistic perfectionist will complain a bout a less than idiomatic pronunciation, which is true on this disc. But there have been a number of Spanish and Italian speaking singers who have performed in the French repertoire, and have been successful, even with less than perfect pronunciation. Alvarez is one of these. Amazon's editorial reviewer complained that the voice sounded "a bit frayed, tight and harsh" I differ. In the first aria, "Pourqoi me reveiller", he sounds like he hasn't "warmed up". I noted the same thing with the opening aria in his "Bel Canto" disc. A stressed, overused or tired voice first shows it at the "break" ( around high f), where the voice goes from the middle to the head register. There is no such evidence here. Another symptom is an inability to diminish volume (diminuendo) from loud to soft on a sustained tone. Alvarez executes these perfectly and repeatedly. My criticism is in the choice of selections, which is due more, I'll bet, to Sony than to the performer. Too many of the arias are more associated with the Italian versions of the operas than the French, and there are many gems from the French opera that would have sounded better on this disc. That aside, I think that Alvarez, along with Ramon Vargas, are our two top tenors today, and Alvarez delivers some fine interpretations here. I have enjoyed this disc, and I believe that almost anyone who enjoys a gifted tenor will too.

            1 out of 5 stars Provincial at Best.......2002-02-14

            Always looking for new talent and certainly aware of the reputation of Mr. Alvarez, I was extremely disappointed to find a colorless, unfocussed voice with virtually no innate musical sense, much less a familiarity with French operatic style. The voice is tight and wooden, with approaches to the high notes varyingly grunting and gnashing of teeth. Is this merely the result of a basically untrained natural talent succumbing to an international career? After hearing beautiful work from both Ramon Vargas and Juan Diego Florez, and acceptable singing from Roberto Alagna and Ben Heppner in the past few months, I must say that Sony has a talent search on their hands if they are to compete with RCA, Decca, DG and EMI.

            5 out of 5 stars Magnifique!!.......2002-02-01

            Excellent! Superb! Alvarez's sophomore solo release is nothing short of stunning. Building upon the success of his debut album, Bel Canto, and banking on the critical acclaim he has received all over the world, Alvarez's melting tones lend incomparable beauty to arias from "Faust," "Guillaume Tell," and "Don Carlos" among others. This recording clearly demonstrates that his growing reputation as one of THE premier tenors of this generation is not exaggerated.
