Om Verdi te verkloten moet je het wel erg beroerd aanpakken. Bocelli lukt het.

De vraag werd mij gesteld om aan te tonen dat de "klassieke wereld" dezelfde mening over dit album heeft dan ik heb. Zie hier:
So what have we actually got here? The voice itself -- typically Italian with its open-throated immediacy and bright, metallic ping -- is not as conventionally beautiful as, say, Pavarotti's fuller and richer tenor, but the reedy timbre has its own distinctive appeal when heard in an appropriate context. However, Verdi, I'm sorry to say, is not it. The voice is several sizes too small for most of the music sung here, and while tricks of engineering can boost the volume, they cannot inflate the natural size and amplitude of vocal sound to sustain the heroic arias of Radamès, Ernani, and Don Alvaro. The top of the voice is solid and secure up to the high C, but Bocelli runs into basic technical problems trying to support his middle register, where he often seems to struggle with muscle fatigue. That also prevents him from coloring his tone or giving phrases a musical shape, and most everything emerges sounding pretty much the same. Yes, Italian tenors of this sort have sung Verdi in the past, but their roles were walk-ons like Borsa, Gastone, and Ruiz, not the Duke of Mantua, Alfredo, and Manrico. I suppose it is noble of Bocelli to pursue his operatic dreams when he could easily continue making millions by sticking with the pop repertory, but in Verdi he simply can't deliver the goods.

Het spijt mij zeer. Bocelli als opera-solo? Dat GAAT gewoon niet! In het populaire circuit is hij, terecht, zeer geliefd. Zijn stem is zeer mooi, maar past gewoon niet in welke opera-context dan ook. Ik bezit een aantal opnamen van Il Trovatore van Giuseppe Verdi, Waaronder Bocelli als Manrico (een van de hoofdrollen). Die versie draai ik eigenlijk nooit, maar die met Placido Domingo des te meer. Ik heb de mening dat in laatstgenoemde versie de opera gewoon veel meer tot zijn recht komt. Ik discrimineer bij deze Bocelli om nooit "echte" opera-rollen te vervullen. Dit komt niet omdat ik zijn stem wel of niet waardeer; maar puur omdat een "echte" rol niet aan hem is besteed. Wanneer hij het houdt bij bekende stukken van de afgelopen eeuw, zal hij roem vergaren. durft hij zich te begeven in het "serieuze" opera-circuit, dan zal hij het altijd afleggen.
