| Editorial Reviews:
There are those who will tell you that Il Divo, the multinational quartet of sharp-dressed crooners, synthesize Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion to concoct something worse. And they will not be entirely incorrect. Yet it's hard to argue with a sensation that has entrenched itself so deeply so fast, and a first spin of Ancora makes it harder still: while predictable selections like "I Believe in You," a duet with Celine, and "You Raise Me Up," a Spanish-sung Josh Groban retread, ratchet up the treacle, the foreign-language tracks that are truly foreign lend this foursome enough Euro mystique to redeem them. Particularly melt-worthy is "Poor Que Tu M'aimes Encore," the closer. Singing in tongues, on the face of it, sounds like a bad idea. Ancora counters that with bold voices, brimming hearts, and its cover--if the songs aren't quite enough to seduce you, the singers might just do the trick. --Tammy La Gorce
Product Description
2006 studio album that reflects the multi-national character of the group; the songs are not all sung in English, but drift between Spanish, English and Italian. However they are worded, all use the emotional Esperanto of love. The group's debut album, IL Divo hit the #1 slot on both Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com after a breakout career-defining appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (April 5, 2005) where the quartet performed its interpretation of Toni Braxton's `Unbreak My Heart (`Regressa A Mi'). Highlights on Ancora include 'Isabel' a duet with Celine Dion and IL Divo's cover of Mariah Carey's 'Hero'. Columbia. More from Il Divo

 I bought this for my mom June 10, 2008
D. Chamberlain (Sacramento, CA)
Horrible music, get it off my recommendations list Amazon, please!
If you like this kind of music, there are much better groups...try Westlife instead.

the music are songs sung by other artist. But I love these guys so much that it makes the cd worth owning.
Perfect blend of voices January 18, 2008
Sonja K. Searle (Texas)
These young men are the most perfect blend of harmony. Each one has a magnificent voice and together they are pure joy.
All By Myself January 14, 2008
Linda S Eastman (Washington, DC)
This is the way I usually end up solving problems - "All By Myself". The album helps to bring focus back so that I can concentrate on what I need to do to accomplish the tasks at hand without stress. Working with attorneys is very high stress and this just takes away all the stress. I highly recommend Il Divo for stress reduction.
