简介:  Placido Domingo really needs no introduction; his talent is well known to the world and on this album he sings beautifully as always--and in more than just one language! This may be Placido Domingo's first pop album in more than two decades; but he sounds very much at home singing these songs both solo and with some of the best vocalists around including Harry Connick Jr.; Katherine Jenkins; Zaz; Chris Botti and Megan Hilty. I particularly like the interpretations of these fine popular songs and ballads; and the duets on this CD are exquisite. The sound quality is excellent and even the artwork is nicely done.   There's not a bad track in the lot here; and that's grand. "Canción Para Una Reina (Song for a Queen)" features Placido Domingo singing this passionately and it makes a great start for the album. "Sous le Ciel de Paris (Under the Skies of Paris)" is easy on the ear when Placido and Josh Groban sing it; and "Time After Time" charms me with its beauty; I love it! "Un Uomo Tra la Folla (A Man in the Crowd)" gets the royal treatment from Placido who sings this with so much heart and soul; and the Jacques Brel classic "La Chanson des Vieux Amants (The Song of Old Lovers)" is equally well done.   "Come What May" from the movie "Moulin Rouge" is another gem; and Domingo's treatment of "Bésame Mucho" is clearly one of the best I've ever heard. "From This Moment On" has an exceptional musical arrangement and this is one of my favorite duets on this album; Susan Boyle and Placido Domingo do a great job on "From This Moment On." "Parla Più Piano" which was used as "The Love Theme" from "The Godfather" is absolutely splendid and "Il Mio Cuore Va - My Heart Will Go On" from "Titanic" couldn't have been done any better. "Eternally" again features Placido Domingo squarely in the spotlight where he belongs; and I really like "Jalousie." "The Girl from Ipanema" has Placido singing with yet another stunning arrangement and the album ends with Placido Domingo and his son performing the timeless "What a Wonderful World."   Placido Domingo and his duet partners on this album have truly outdone even themselves; and this is a must-have for their fans. Hopefully Placido and his duet partners here will continue to make contributions to the arts for many years to come! I highly recommend this album.
