Football season is now in full swing.....Iamboredtotears!! Non-stop assault on the ears...screaming, whistles blowing, tantrums being thrown, butt patting, etc...
I found something that has given me the most goose bumps in manyayear....Il Divo! Candy for the ears...
'Il Divo' in Italian literally means a male (singular) 'prima donna.'
They are:
American tenor David Miller;
Swiss tenor Urs Buhler;
Spanish baritone Carlos Marin;
French pop singer Sebastien Izambard.
This group was initially brought together in 2004 by the infamous Simon Cowell after intensive worldwide auditions.
The virtuoso blending of operatic techniques with both romantic and popular tradition has taken the world by storm. They have sold over 22 million albums, the first three of which were 'Il Divo', 'Ancora,' and 'Sempre,' the last two translated into English are 'Again' and 'Always.'
Lastly, the group decided to work with only one producer, a longtime collaborator named Steve McCutcheon (aka Steve Mac). A musical genius, Mac is able to create beautiful orchestrations by experience.
Take a moment and give your eyes and ears a treat watching and listening to this group singing 'Amazing Grace' like you've never heard it before. The four guys performed "Amazing Grace" in the beautiful arena in Pula, Croatia .
This coliseum (smaller but better preserved than the one in Rome ) where the concert and recording were done is one of the most well-preserved Roman coliseums in the world. They are all excellent but make sure you hear the baritone....
