 Rating: - Music of silenceI am lost for words! An insiperation it must be to so many people. If you listen to Andrea sing and watch him on DVD you will understand. I had a good cry. There by the grace of God etc. but we have had our moments. Grandson at twelve with a brain tumour. A book I will not part with or lend out. It is so uplifting! like his voice. Feeling down! buy and read it, it will help I promise. Rating:  - A Gladsome, Modest Memoir!This is the memoir music-lovers have waited for. This liquid golden-voiced Italian tenor from Tuscany, tells of his blindness & how music soothed him; of his struggles as a boy to live a normal life; his studies to become a lawyer & how he found his world-class voice. Andrea Bocelli is a refreshingly simple, humble fellow imbued with love, humor & a sense of the Grand Adventure. He wrote this memoir himself on a special Braille computer as if telling his story through another boy's eyes, which is only occasionally a distraction. Stanislav Pugliese translated it into pretty good English. This is the angel who sang for Mayor Juiliani during a Memorial for those who perished in the September 11 attacks & I ... Read More: Rating: - Andrea Bocelli's book is inspirational and frank...,(This review is based on the hardcover edition)This book will not teach you anything about opera or even music for that matter. We get something much better; a frank and introspective story of a life (so far), one full of all those things which make each one of us ordinary and extraordinary at the same time. The story of a man who never let go of his dreams, even when time and many other obstacles lay in his path. It shows how important a wise and loving family and caring friends can be in the big scheme of things. In this case, the life of a man whose voice has captivated millions of fans, myself included. It is a rare glimpse into a man's conscience, not just in it's bright and shiny refined state of maturity, but in the beginnings ...

Read More: Rating: - Beautifully written and moving in the original ItalianThe five stars that I've given here are for Andrea Bocelli's La musica del silenzio, in the original Italian. La musica del silenzio is a beautifully written and moving work of literature, as well as a fascinating portrait. While I was pleased to learn that Virgin Publishing had released an English translation of La musica del silenzio and while I appreciate translator Stanislao Pugliese's note that translating the work was "a great pleasure and honour," I believe that the English edition does, indeed, illustrate the truth of the saying that Pugliese quotes: "Traduttore e a traditore." The Music of Silence has lost much of the poetic gracefulness of Bocelli's prose in La musica del silenzio and too often turns his thoughtful examination ... Read More: |
