Amazon.co.uk Review: Andrea Bocelli's Sogno ("Dream") is a pop album of entirely original compositions that evoke traditional and modern influences. Bocelli himself describes the CD as secular Italian traditional melodic music with a contemporary twist. The album's 14 tracks include "The Prayer", a Bocelli and Celine Dion duet produced by David Foster; "Come un Fiume Tu", an intriguing collaboration with soundtrack maestro Ennio Morricone; "O Mare e Tu", a duet with Dulce Pontes; and "Sogno" (the first single excerpted from the album), a light-as-a-feather, emotional composition sung by Bocelli with his typical vocal emphasis, which has made him famous around the world since the release of his self-titled debut. --Ernesto De Pascale

Rating: - Sogno grows on you (as does Cieli di Toscana)
I have all of Bocelli's CDs and for me this ranks number 1, followed closely by Cieli di Toscana. As with most of his works, the first time of hearing doesn't have too great an impact but the music grows on you. I will be humming a tune during the day and wonder what is that? Then I remember that it's off the Sogno album or Cieli di Toscana album. I then cannot wait to get home so that I can play the cd again. His voice is great, the tunes are melodious and the overall production superb. Highly ... Read More
Rating: - An Honest Opinion
Im a 17 year old male, and the popular assumption is that teens listen to 'pop' and 'rap'. I too, was true to this until accidentally stumbling upon Andrea Bocellli's latest creation, and found that not only is this a man who is disabled, but he is a magnificent musician with a truly heart-renching voice. He has so much potential, and such emotional songs that it nearly brought a tear to my eye...and that says a lot from a teenager. To the people who read this...if this CD has brought so much enjoyment ... Read More
Rating: - Andrea Bocelli-Sogno
unbelievable.When this CD is playing you lose youself to its sound.
Rating: - Don't forget the tissues
If you buy this cd then make sure that you have a box of tissues standing by especially for the second track. I defy anyone not to be moved by this piece of music. The combination of Dion and Bocelli is simply astounding and the song is wonderful. I would advise anyone to buy this album simply for "Prayer".
Rating: - a brilliant introduction to light opera
I had never listened to opera before as I thought I did not like it, then I heard the second track on the CD (a duet with Celine Dion) on a concert on TV. The hairs at the back of my neck stood up and I got goosebumps all over. I found out that the track was on 'Songno' and purchased it straight away. My usual music tastes are Bryan Adams, Queen and Ronan Keating so as you can imagine this CD was very different. Andrea Bocelli has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard and the whole CD is a Joy ... Read More
