We were introduced to Andrea Bocelli at a concert in Miami. Now the American Airlines Arena isn’t a night with Andrea in Tuscany…but the evening was memorable nonetheless. There are those that perform – and then there is Andrea Bocelli. A man in a league of his own. Several weeks later, I recall driving over the Miami causeway out to Key Biscayne. It was a blistering summer, Sunday afternoon. The sun roof was open. There was acqua blue velvet water glistening all around me. Warm tropical winds rushing through the car. And Andrea belting out this song. Andrea and me on Key Biscayne…fantasy island.

Ah, lucky you. I still blast that cd (Romanza) from time to time; it is my favorite of his, even though it is from many years back. Love his voice. I hope my neighbors like it! Hope you had a wonderful time at the concert and that the music stays with you for awhile. ~ Lily

“I hope my neighbors like it.” Funny. Actually, the concert was 10 years ago. And yes, it continues to stay with me.

The thing that I find amazing is how effortless he makes it appear–he opens his mouth and the music just soars. Gives me chills. Kathleen Battle has a similar effect on me, though I think that Bocelli is a much nicer person. Beautiful interlude, David. Thanks for sharing….

Thanks Lori. I’ve never heard of Kathleen Battle. Just listened to Strauss/Voices of Spring (http://youtu.be/TF0XSkb7TyM). I can’t say that I am a lover of Opera but I certainly appreciate her talent…

Huge fan..a magnificent talent…I’m not as crazy about Sarah Brightman, but I feel comfortable saying that, ’cause I doubt she and I are ever going to meet. Well, Andrea and I are probably not going to meet either, but I want to make sure that if we ever did, everything I wrote about him will be consistent with my adoration. ‘Vivere’ on the Romanza cd…I don’t even know what they’re singing about, but I’m transported..
