专辑介绍

2004年上半年，Il Divo于伦敦的录音室展开练唱与同名专辑《IL DⅣO》的录唱工作，他们当时正在从事的演唱风格没有前者做过的，同样他们所组合的技巧也没有先例。经过不断的黑暗中的摸索，他们确立出这样一种演唱形式：他们四个人都可以用各自的技巧在整首歌里分担领唱的任务，一首歌的开头精致微妙到歌剧的音响设备无法捕捉到，在高昂的合唱中达到顶点，结尾又是实在的歌剧功夫。以这种方式，他们成功地用含有古典元素的音乐打动了数以百万计的人们。

于是，这张专辑于发行首周即以雷霆之姿击退英国天王歌手Robbie Williams，空降英国金榜冠军王座，更以短短不到两个月的销售期大破百万，跻身2004年英国年度十大畅销专辑之林，还创下英国专辑榜史上从未发行商业单曲就攫取王座的纪录。而2005年四月，他们进军美国，以初登场第四名的历史成绩，写下告示牌杂志以SoundScan系统统计来英国艺人最佳成绩，这无疑让Il Divo成为2005年歌坛新人中的佼佼者。

International classical crossover quartet Il Divo didn't start out in the garage practicing their exceptionally fluid tenors among the din of outraged neighbors and summer construction crews; rather, they were hunted by producers for two years like wild game in their native lands and herded into the studio, where they were sculpted into a machine of such smoldering European romanticism that the world would have no choice but to rip their very hearts out upon first listen. Sound overly dramatic? You bet, which is why Il Divo's self-titled debut depends entirely on one's opinion of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On." Extremely wealthy producers Per Magnusson and David Krueger (Backstreet Boys), along with Steve Mac (Charlotte Church) have created the Three Tenors -- in this case four -- for the next generation, and if the first single, a cover of Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart," is any indication, all involved should see their stock rise. American tenor David Miller, French heartthrob Sébastien Izambard, Swiss tenor Urs Buhler, and Spanish baritone Carlos Marin tackle standards like "My Way" and "Unchained Melody" with an expert precision and pomp -- the latter is sung in Italian -- that aptly conveys their obvious talents. An achingly beautiful arrangement of "Gabriel's Oboe" -- known here as "Nella Fantasia" -- from Ennio Morricone's score for The Mission is sweeping and grand, but there is no denying the sheer Monkees/Menudo/American Idol consumerism of the whole venture -- this is Idol "Grinch" Simon Cowell's baby. Il Divo may only last long enough to rid the world of a few billion dollars -- probably on one tour alone -- but there's no doubt that the hands that hold the strings above them are already in the war room planning their next kill.
