Release Notes:

It's impossible to hear Andrea Bocelli singing Perry Como's "It's Impossible"
without being overcome by a sense of utter enchantment. As the ripe-hearted
have known since 1997's Romanza, though, Bocelli's French-perfume-like appeal
generally lingers well beyond a single song, suffusing entire lovestruck
evenings with its richness and warmth. And so it goes with Under the Desert
Sky. Recorded at a floating concert venue near Las Vegas (thus the title),
Bocelli's first CD/DVD combo plays like an elaborate seduction. Cue up the
DVD, and the crossover classical tenor, outfitted in black velvet, tortures
the besotted with visible sincerity and knockout performances alongside David
Foster and the elegant Heather Headley. Spin the CD and the songs come
spilling out like elegant reminders of the swoon-worthy live performance.
Several of the nine songs on the CD--"Cuando Me Enamoro," "Canzoni Stonate,"
and "Somos Novios (It's Impossible)" among them--are available on other
Bocelli discs, but that shouldn't deter the faithful. For one thing, "Can't
Help Falling in Love," a dazzling duet with American Idol's Katherine McPhee,
can't be heard elsewhere. For another, outside of a few vintage Julio
Iglesias albums, you just won't find this much feeling packed into a single
33-minute disc. It's impossible.
