Album Description: Disc One is an eight song CD and Disc Two is a full length DVD: Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli grew up in Lajatico, a rural village in Tuscany, where his family still farms nearby. Last July, on the slopes of his ancient hill town, a special theater was constructed for a one-night-only concert of his greatest popular hits along with new songs performed to honor the occasion. Some famous musical friends dropped by and the magical result is Andrea Bocelli Vivere Live in Tuscany.
Joining Andrea for the new songs are grandissimo sassofonista Kenny G, trumpeter Chris Botti, piano virtuoso Lang Lang, Italian pop star Eliza, and legendary musician, songwriter and producer David Foster. Helping with the hits: favorite divas Sarah Brightman, Heather Headley and Laura Pausini.
Surveying the breathtaking landscape that provides the backdrop for the festivities, Bocelli introduces the telecast with the passion of a true Toscano. It s my land, he says, a land that loves silence as much as I do. If I break this silence with my voice, it s because I want to pay tribute. Music penetrates this land; it flows across it and flies off far away. It s a message of love.
Musical highlights include the song that launched Bocelli s career, Il Mare Calmo Della Sera ; the one that brought him international stardom, Time to Say Goodbye, in duet with Sarah Brightman; Laura Pausini joining him for Dare to Live ( Vivere ); Bocelli and Heather Headley reprising the popular Vivo Per Lei, plus several new selections from the just-released The Best of Andrea Bocelli - Vivere album (Sugar Music/Decca). Also featured is a meltingly romantic medley of songs from his 2006 collection, Amore: Bésame Mucho, Somos Novios ( It s Impossible ) and I Can t Help Falling in Love with You.

Bocelli is Always Great! The CD portion was shorter than expected, but the quality of the music/sound is wonderful. Seeing Bocelli live and in person would be great, but the DVD is the second best thing to it!
Vivere Live in Tuscany [CD/DVD] The vidiography and the site location couldn't have been more impressive not to mention the choreography of the full program. This was one of my best investments in music. Most of the performers are my favorites and their individual and duet with Bocelli were just dynamite!
Andrea Bocelli-Vivere Live in Tuscany His Vivere Alabum is the most powerful and romantic voicee as himslef, But His DVD Vivere Live Concert in His Hometown is more romantic and more entertained with more talents super-star to join him... It is really great DVD Concert for all family members... AND HIS MUSIC NO NEED TO TRANSLATE.
Fabulous combo! I have thoroughly enjoyed both the DVD and CD in this package. The concert is a joy to listen to and to watch as the various artists join Andrea Bocelli in his native Tuscany. There is a wonderful mix of musical genre with many talented artists that guarantee you will find something to enjoy. Being able to take the CD along with me simply extends the delight of the music as I call to mind the video images from the concert as I listen.
Andrea Bocelli Live in Tuscany I like the duets played in that concert, and the scenario, wonderful. All of his music is so lovely, and sharing his music with all the world; his music gives me so much peace.
