Summary: FASCINANTES
Comment:
Este cuarteto es simplemente fascinante. El primer cd que escuche de
ellos es este, y lo escuche y escuche sin cansarme, una y otra vez.
Y es que son fascinantes. Voces bellisimas y un dominio tremendo de
las voces, y por supuesto, un estilo totalmente unico.
Y donde ellos se la ganaron toda es con esa bellisima cancion Regresa a mi, donde, tanto David como Carlos se destacan sobre los demas insinuando
se como dos verdaderos divos del canto.
Passera es lindisima, y aqui escuchamos a Urs fuerte y bello, y a Sebas
tien simplemente sexy.
Lo recomiendo muchas veces.

Summary: Il Divo-The Promise...Beautiful
Comment: After listening to Il Divo's "The Promise" for a month, I thought I would post some observations. The 4 men of Il Divo create beautiful harmonies, though each voice is distinct. The arrangements are well done and don't over complicate or overpower the songs. Each voice can be heard instinctly, yet as a whole is what makes each song soar, as in Adagio. The softness of Hallelujah and Amazing Grace show the control in their voices and these songs alone are worth the price of "The Promise". Just pop in this cd, relax, and get lost in the music.

Summary: Il Divo Keeps Its Promise On New Release
Comment: Prior to receiving this CD, I was only minimally aware of Il Divo, the princes of popera. I had seen them on television several times, and knew that they had amazing voices and harmonies. When I first listened to this, I was blown away. These songs truly showcase Il Divo's incredible harmonies. The instrumentals are expertly arranged. The melodies are deceptively simple, yet compelling. Each song is full of pleasant surprises in harmonies, melodies and dynamics. If you listen, and emerge yourself in the music, you will not only be interested, you will also be lost in the music. With the exception of Amazing Grace, the songs are in Spanish. Regardless if you understand the words, the music emotes the sentiment of the song in a way that makes it easy to understand the message of the music. Songs such as "La Luna", Angelina and Amazing Grace really showcase the power, range and precision of Il Divo's voices.

Summary: Pure Art!
Comment: People with no formal musical education: Please stop posting false and misleading reviews...
The truth is that they are 4 experimented singers, most of them have a strong (and true artistic) vocal music background, so stop thinking they are another new pop music "boy band", in fact they are more like an "operatic men quartet", and some of them even have at least 20 years of a successful pre-Il Divo opera carrier, this is why some people do not understand that they are not just newcomers doing "covers", instead they actually do translations of some pop songs to another music language and genre that certainly neither is pop nor is opera, but a very nice mix of them. I'm sure they love to sing for the people who know how to appreciate their art!...other people can look elsewhere, (they don't mind)... ...in billboard pop charts for example where you will find Josh Groban for instance... who I also admire for his exceptional talent I must say...
People! Planet earth is not only a place called the USA... open your mind and EARS to the world. It's a shame that some people cannot enjoy this beautifull masterpiece!

"Il Divo have taught me more than I have taught them. I am actually intimidated and slightly in awe of their talent! I am more proud of this album than anything else i've ever been involved with, they are going to be huge." --Simon Cowell
