请保护你们心灵中的Andrea们，那些热爱生活和歌唱的歌者
Andrea的歌声你听过吗？
你会不自觉的微笑吗？
你会仰起头来，用鼻子深深的、长长的吸气吗？
你会在一个难得的晴爽朗天气里突然想要好好聆听一番他的歌声吗？
你会在当别人提起他的时候，你只能“啊！Andrea!他……啊……简直……”，连自己都会笑起来？
你会连续6、7年断断续续聆听他的歌声而从不觉的厌倦，甚至每次都有新的收获和触动吗？
你会在悠扬的音乐中挥起双臂，探高俯低的就像个指挥家吗？
你会在走路的时候，耳畔满是他的有力或优雅的歌声，连走路的速度、步幅、动作都与平常有所不同吗？
你会忍不住在你心爱的人儿面前唱上一小段吗？哪怕不会发那些意大利式的婉转舌音，哪怕一唱到高音区就嬉笑着跳过……你觉得那才是人类感情表达的极致方式！
还有，如果你看过他的演唱会，你会不会像他在演唱会上歌唱那样，总在脖子上搭上一条围巾，柔和的闭上双眼，头略略低下，张大嘴，就好像他在高音C上，或是在发他特有的高弱音？
Andrea像个老朋友，启发我、激励我、安慰我，对于一位性格内向，同时渴望着智慧和情感交流的需要成长的年轻人，有什么比找到一位这样的朋友兼导师更让人欣慰的呢？就好像在《肖申克的救赎》中，监狱中响起的莫扎特某部歌剧中的花腔女高音的一个唱段时，艺术的力量超越了环境，超越了现实，给人们的灵魂插上翅膀，让他们见识更高更远的天空，让他们去想象他们从前做梦都不敢梦的梦想。也正如我一直坚持认为的那样：如果内心不比生活中身边的大多数事实更高尚、美丽、优雅、深刻且更有趣味，那活着还有什么意思！Andrea的歌声给我一些信心，理想是可贵的，值得为之奋斗、坚持的，不是可笑且不切实际的；认真的生活，享受你热爱的人和事，此时此刻；在自然和艺术面前，我们永远是孩子，最好的探索方式就是尝试实践；当你知道自己的方向，自己在做什么，那么别人对你的褒奖或是诋毁甚至其他任何形式的评论都无足轻重；生活的趣味和深度不在那些繁杂、昂贵、琳琅满目的消费品里，而在我们的精神里，在我们的身体里，我们所追求的或许不在远方，而就在追求本身，在我们的心上。
在这个消费材料过剩，于是纷纷争宠的时代（特别是在当今中国，垃圾制品满天飞，愚蠢无聊得只能骗些白痴的炒作、一帮又一帮被宠坏的胜似白痴无所事事的追星族们……而真正来自生活、沉淀下来的精品传播范围及其有限，GCD抓精神文明抓到CCAV的jj上了吧！！！），真是“只有流行，没有音乐，我看你眼不见为净，也是好事一件”。
当那些青春期躁动的过剩的荷尔蒙充斥在廉价、短命的声音中，网络下载宠坏了那些需要一张有一张专辑轰炸、填塞自己空虚的精神生活，就好像没有感情，只有短暂、剧烈、上瘾无法控制的肉体欲望满足的滥性和吸毒一样。
Andrea的音乐和歌唱不仅仅是消费品、不仅仅是用来娱乐的，那些作品渴望着你们用心去接纳、去感受、去共鸣！爱酒的人会认为用普通容器盛装美酒佳酿是一种亵渎，我只希望那些渴望好好生活、吸取生命中精华的人们有一颗热忱、敏感、鲜活的心。我希望这个世界还有这个世界上的人、事、情感、生活变得更完美一些！更好一些！请保护你们心灵中的Andrea们，那些热爱生活和歌唱的歌者！其实你们心中很可能早就有了他们！
生活在网络制造地球村的时代，生活在GFW遍布四周的环境中，真像狄更斯的It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so. far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
祝福我们所有人！
===============================最后贴一些Amazon上关于专辑和Andrea的介绍
About the Artist
Andrea Bocelli was born in Lajatico, in rural Tuscany, not far from the ancient city of Pisa. Fascinated by the passion and storytelling of opera and traditional Italian music, Andrea dreamed of following in the footsteps of his idols; celebrated Italian tenors including Mario Del Monaco, Beniamino Gigli and especially Franco Corelli. While a child, Andrea's beautiful, natural voice had made him something of a local celebrity. However his musical dreams were to be interrupted by the realities of adult life. To placate his family and their concerns for his future, he graduated from the University of Pisa in law, practicing as a state-appointed defense attorney for a short time. But his passion for music remained, and Andrea was soon studying under a number of maestros, most notably achieving a personal triumph and a source of encouragement when accepted as a pupil for master classes by his hero, tenor Franco Corelli.
In 1992, Italian rock star Zucchero enlisted then-unknown Andrea to record a `demo track' of "Miserere", a duet to be recorded with Luciano Pavarotti. Andrea effortlessly captured the very essence of the song. As Zucchero later said, "He just had this `soul'".
Andrea's voice was soon attracting attention outside Italy. His international breakthrough hit was the beguiling "Con Te Partirò" and in it's duet arrangement with Sarah Brightman, "Time to Say Goodbye (Con Te Partirò)". The solo version was a worldwide smash, topping the French singles chart, while the duet held the top spot on Germany's single chart for fourteen weeks, and, at three million copies, went on to become Germany's best selling single of all time. "I have wonderful memories singing with Andrea," says Sarah Brightman today. `'Time to Say Goodbye' will always hold a special place in my heart".
In 1996 and 1997 Andrea Bocelli exploded on album charts across the world, with the international debut album, Romanza, a collection of passionate popular songs. Conquering Europe, then charts around the world, the album amassed a multitude of platinum and multi-platinum awards, with worldwide sales in excess of 16 million copies to date. Selling an impressive 500,000 copies in the Far East, one million in Italy, and more than three million in Latin America and Spain, the album also contained "Vivere ", "Il Mare Calmo Della Sera," and the title track, "Romanza," all of which feature on the new Best Of collection.
Andrea's 1999 Best New Artist Grammy nomination marked the first time a classical artist had been nominated in the category in 38 years. `The Prayer', his duet with Celine Dion for the animated film, The Quest for Camelot, won the Golden Globe for Best Song and was nominated for an Academy Award. In March 1999 Andrea released his second pop offering, Sogno. The album, which included "The Prayer," entered the upper reaches of the pop album charts around the world, confirming Andrea's position at the pinnacle of the world of popular music, and giving birth to the phenomenon of "Bocellimania". In the fall of this watershed year in an already impressive career, Andrea released Sacred Arias, which went on to become his most successful classical album to date. It has also become the biggest selling album by a classical soloist of all time. With its release, Andrea captured a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records, as he simultaneously held the No 1, 2 and 3 positions on the US classical album chart. The next three-and-a-half years followed with Andrea holding permanent residency at the No 1 spot.
In 2001, Andrea released the semi-autobiographical memoir, The Music of Silence, and closed the year with another hugely successful pop album, Cieli di Toscana, which included "Melodramma" and `'Mille Lune, Mille Onde". The romantic yet melancholic sound of 2002's Sentimento combined the voice of Andrea Bocelli with the exquisite violin of Maestro Lorin Maazel. The album was another huge success on the international pop and classical charts and this was reflected by Andrea's acquisition of two awards including Album of the Year at the prestigious British Classical Brit Awards in 2003. In support of this album Andrea embarked on a packed concert schedule that took in places as far ranging as China and Madison Square Gardens in New York. In addition to these ubiquitous landmarks Andrea also performed in front of the Egyptian Pyramids (a highlight that could only be equaled by his performance in front of The Statue of Liberty earlier in this prolific career).
The 2004 release of Andrea's fourth pop album, was followed in 2006 by Amore, featuring guest appearances by the likes of Stevie Wonder and Christina Aguilera. The album also featured "Because We Believe", which Andrea performed at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino.
As his zest and passion for life has shown, Andrea Bocelli is not a man to avoid a challenge, although his goals it seems are quite simple. "What I crave most, what I hope to achieve", he says, "is to communicate with the listener; to touch them in the same way that I was touched as a child by my favorite singers, who made me cry and made me dream".
Product Description
Andrea Bocelli's new studio album is a collection of the most famous Italian songs - including Mamma, Funiculi Funicula and Santa Lucia. They are the songs which have enchanted Andrea since childhood. Released to coincide with his 50th birthday, the album is a personal tribute to his musical heritage. Popularized through concert, radio and record and the film industry by the great tenors of the 19th and 20th centuries, this selection of songs is a celebration of the Italian tenor tradition. Thanks to the legendary voices of Enrico Caruso, Beniamino Gigli, Franco Corelli, Mario Lanza and Luciano Pavarotti, these songs have become a huge global export and fueled the romance of generations to come. Incanto is also a homage to Love. It includes a group of songs which have told love stories in music for the past 170 years. The repertoire is a tribute to the many faces and places of love: love for a mother (Mamma); love for a woman (O surdato 'nammurato , Era di maggio , Un amore cosi grande , Non ti scordar di me ); love for a place (the pier in Santa Lucia, Mount Vesuvio in Funiculi Funicula ); love for a city (Napoli, Granada) and love for a country (Italy). Love for Italy, and a particular affection for Naples are prevalent themes throughout Incanto. Andrea has chosen one contemporary Neapolitan song - the "tarantella" Pulcinella, which highlights his fond connection to Naples and the city's unique position in the past, present and future of Italian song. The deluxe edition sets Andrea's songs in the romantic context of 1950s Naples. The archive materials provide a nostalgic snapshot of 1950s glamour, when Naples was the honey-pot for the rich and famous. The footage captures the spirit of romance and optimism during the days of Andrea's childhood - a sense of optimism prevalent in post war Italy around the time of Andrea's birth is captured by the visual themes of the album. The incomparable natural beauty of southern Italy is celebrated, as well as the magical aura of the 1950s and La dolce vita, which has enchanted generation upon generation since. The DVD also includes an interview with Andrea shot in different locations in Naples.
