DVD Il Divo - Live at the Greek
The international sensations Il Divo were brilliantly created by mixing some of today's hottest musical trends: the operatic and classical resurgence carried by the Three Tenors and Andrea Bocelli, the sex appeal of a boy band--and a calculated nod to Beatlemania. (Call them the Fab Forte.) This concert DVD, filmed at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, showcases the quartet's vocal chops and undeniable audience connection. The singers take turns in the glitzy spotlight, delivering a host of international favorites that their fans have come to expect, and they don't disappoint. Highlights include an almost devotional delivery of "Unbreak My Heart (Regresa a mi)" and the French heartbreaker "Pour que tu m'aimes encore." If sometimes their material selection seems more schmaltz than splendore ("Feelings," "All by Myself"), Il Divo fans won't mind a bit. Extras include an intimate behind-the-scenes documentary with interviews with all four members, plus extra tracks including "The Time of Our Lives," a soulful performance with Toni Braxton.

Crossing the borders of language and speaking the heart of the matter, these guys are somewhat enchanting to watch - their sets, their faces, their voices... It's an exquisite show. It makes you well up as you return to yourself and the feelings you sometimes hush up.
I don't know how they do it but their voices are so strong and admirable that they can conjure feelings that still don't have adjectives to describe them. They are the voices inside your heart as it breaks, as you love, as you feel the world around you.
I'm hardly one to run off to every concert or event but I really found watching this one quite chic and sophisticated and so I'm saying something small. It's a great production, and for their talent, some credit must also be given to the cameramen and producers who did such a good job of capturing this surreal show.
When I was little it was the Narnian wardrobe that transported me away but today watching this show was like the adult getaway from the concrete jungle and rat race that I sometimes let consume me. It's not cheesy or mushy. For those not afraid to be human, it's just right. However, before I get ahead of myself, it really is an aquired taste and not for everyone. Be selective about the place and time to watch it or else it might be all wrong.
As a side note, I can may be see this being great at dinner parties and Christmas gatherings.
Season's Greetings!
