Il Divo - Encore (DVD)

...Il Divo comprise of four singers, a baritone (Carlos), two tenors (Urs and David) and a vox populi (Steven). Together they blend perfectly to make magical music. They have been dubbed 'popera' but that is unfair in my opinion even if they have through their unique talents helped popuarise opera. To bring a much derided genre of music to the masses can only be a good thing and I speak as someone who enjoys music from classical to metal. A true music ...

The live performance features 5 tracks 'Si Tu Me Amas', 'Isabel', 'O Holy Night', 'Heroe' and 'All By Myself(Solo Otra Vez).My personal favourite would be the rousing 'O Holy Night' which broods and crescendos to its conclusion. If there is a criticism it would be that there is very little change in tempo of the numbers.

Included in the documentary is an interview with Simon Cowell who has guided the fout to super stardom.The DVD also allows us an insight into the personalities of the four and there thoughts on their meteroric rise to fame.
No fan of the group will want to be without this DVD.I would also recommend itto anyone who wants to try out this fabulous foursome.
