bocelli1I finally got my CD , Andrea Bocelli’s Sacred Arias. This is an amazing set of sacred songs done in an amazingly beautiful style with the amazingly beautiful voice of Andrea Bocelli. The first four songs are all versions of Ave Maria, which makes the CD worth the price alone! It contains songs by Handle, Mozart, Rossini, Schubert, and many more talented composers from the past. As an extra treat, Bocelli sings the Christmas songs Silent Night and Adeste Fideles, enriching them with his unique talents. The CD ends on a rousing, praise filled (but highly dignified) number, Gloria a te Cristo Gesu. The songs are sung and written in foreign languages (Latin, Italian, etc.) and the album’s distributors are kind enough to provide both the original lyrics and the English translation within the CD booklet. I highly recommend this album for anyone who wants the best of Catholic (and other Christian) sacred music done in a style befitting the glory, majesty, and dignity of our Lord and his holy, Catholic Church.
