Andrea Bocelli – Sogno

Music CD, 1999

Andrea Bocelli - Sogno (Audio CD, 1999)

From his unprecedented sold-out arena tour to the Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, Andrea Bocelli IS the new voice capturing millions. Sogno (pronounced "sone yo") is a brand new collection of pop tracks highlighted by Carole Bayer Sager's soulful ballad, "The Prayer" (this year's Golden Globe winner for Best Song). Originally recorded by Andrea for the Quest for Camelot soundtrack, the song has been re-orchestrated as a duet with Celine Dion, and is the album's lead single.

Sogno consists entirely of new compositions, much of which are skewed toward the pop audience whom Andrea Bocelli was well on his way to earning in the spring of 1999. In other words, it's an album that seems to be a progression, but it's also a consolidation of the crossover audience that he wooed over the course of the late '90s. Sogno pulls off that trick, balancing Bocelli's opera background with modern pop and Italian music. Overall it flows nicely and maintains a fine balance between pieces that suggest opera without actually being opera, and adult contemporary songs such as "Nel Cuore Lei" (a duet with Eros Ramazzotti) or the Celine Dion duet "The Prayer," which was originally featured on the soundtrack for The Quest for Camelot. The most interesting moments are songs like "Come Un Fiume Tu," a collaboration with Ennio Morricone that manages to not only find a middle ground between those two extremes, but to push forward, as well. Songs like these keep Sogno fascinating, but it's the adult contemporary-flavored numbers.
