Bocelli, who conveys confidence and mastery in both classical and pop genres, received rave reviews during his sold-out United States tour last winter.  "His tone was smooth and brimmed with emotion…he owned Madison Square Garden," celebrated the New York Post.  Florida's Sun Sentinel concurred, stating, "Bocelli's singing moves people…He brought suave phrasing and affecting emotion to an arrangement of Italian songs."  The Hollywood Reporter rejoiced, "(Bocelli) brings a passion and joy to such familiar (classical) pieces" and proclaimed, "it was a triumphant appearance."


The Best Of Andrea Bocelli - Vivere marks a decade of chart-topping albums that has made him a household name and beloved cultural figure throughout the world.  The album, produced by Sugar Music/Decca, is scheduled to land in stores Tuesday, Oct. 30 and features selections from Bocelli's popular recordings including Romanza, certified four times platinum, Sogno certified two times platinum, and his most recent platinum album, Amore.  Highlights include "Time To Say Goodbye," his breakthrough smash with Sarah Brightman, "The Prayer," another duet made famous with Celine Dion, and the more recent Bocelli staples "Because We Believe" and "Besame Mucho."  Several new tracks also are exclusively available on Vivere, including new compositions by the renowned and accomplished writer/producer David Foster.  Additional notable guests on the disc include the acclaimed classical pianist Lang Lang and Latin singing sensation Laura Pausini.
