Customer Reviews
"Italia" A Delightful Tour!
Breathtakingly beautiful!! Transported me to the shores of Italy with the song "Italia" and the singing of Andrea Bocelli--oh my, just magnificent!! Love the two songs with Paula Cole--she communicates just the right emotional touch to both songs! "Nessun Dorma" is perfection! This CD is one that will be in the "replay" mode at my house for a long time! Bravo to Botti and the fabulous sound of his trumpet!!
Lovely.
Starting off, I may be somewhat biased due to the fact I have been a Botti since 2000. He has undergone significant growth during that period, and that is what makes "Italia" a great all around record. The mix of classics is second to none... Chris Botti's ability to get stellar guests on his albums speaks volumes to his ability. While all the songs are beautiful and showcase Botti's musicianship (esp. Venice, It Never Entered My Mind, AND the Pavarotti classic, Nessun Dorma!), the gems really are the duets. This album is a must have, and is perfect for those romantic nights. "Italia" really makes you feel like you are wandering the streets and seeing the beautiful sights of Italy. This 'deluxe' edition adds 4 bonus tracks, all of which are solid. It's hard to do a rendition of anything Miles davis, but Flamenco Sketches is beautiful...and with more Paula Cole, that is all the incentive you need to purchase this album!
Good album, great music, bad encoding.
Chris Botti is one of my favorite smooth jazz artists. This is a great album and his trumpet work is up to his usual high standards. Paula Cole does a fantastic job as well in several of the songs. Unfortunately, the nature of his trumpet playing leads to a rare technical glitch for iTunes - encoding problems. Botti can hit some very high, pure, and clean notes. Unfortunately, in a few of these songs you won't experience that. The encoding bitrate that Apple used here is not up to the task and the highs start to break up. I wish this one were offered in iTunes+, as that would probably solve the problem and it would be a much better listening experience.
