Vittorio Grigolo - Arrivederci

The latest recording from Vittorio Grigolo showcases his ability beyond the opera stage. This recording showcases the other side to any Italian tenor and this is the Neapolitan repoitre. Grigolo has the chaismatic personality to sing this popular repoitre and the musicality to pull out all the 'schmutz' that is embedded in Neapolitan songs. The recording showcases Grigolo's ability to cross over to a larger audience as Pavarotti did before him. The voice has the subtlty and ease to it that would appeal to those who are not so interested in the opera scene. however in saying that, this recording still has opera arias for those die hard opera fans. The arias chosen by grigolo are once again typical of a Italian tenor. But once again it is an absoloute pleasure to listen to Grigolo's heartfel interpretation. A must listen is the first track of this recording, the famous and popular Caruso. the arrangement is absolutley beautiful and suits Grigolo to a tee. He extrapulates as much passion and emotion that is possible from this beautiful song that has been popularised by Pavarotti and Bocelli. If you are looking for an alternative to heavy opera and looking for a relaxing afternoon i reccomend this recording. Enjoy
