It also includes a four-language booklet (English, French, German, Spanish) and five language libretti (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish), additional photo and text material, and a short synopsis for each aria track by track. Exuberant and charismatic, Rolando Villazón is the tenor of today. Here he releases his first solo album on Deutsche Grammophon. The soaring title track from Ponchielli s La Gioconda inspired Villazón to become a singer. Here it is the starting point for an intriguing album which moves far beyond the usual greatest tenor hits . Less familiar masterpieces by Boito, Cilea and Verdi feature alongside little-known Donizetti arias and rarities by Gomes, Mercadante and Pietri. The album is Villazón s personal homage to his illustrious predecessors in the lyric-dramatic repertoire great tenors such as Bergonzi, Caruso and Domingo. Cielo e mar offers something special for connoisseurs of opera, Villazón s many fans and mainstream listeners who will be gripped by the beauty of both his voice and the music.  for more information click here cielo e mar Listeners who like to sing along will have to learn some new material because, as he did in his French album, Rolando Villazon has included some noteworthy arias from seldom heard operas. The Maristella and Fosca selections are particularly beautiful. However, I advise against singing along because one can then appreciate this magnificent voice and expressive phrasing. Thats nice!!
