Album Description Grammy winning trumpeter Chris Botti has returned in top form with Italia, his most lushly romantic and expressive album to date. Featuring duets with some of today's biggest international stars including Andrea Bocelli, Paula Cole, and Dean Martin, Botti's rich and articulate musical collection is truly beautiful, enchanting, and understatedly elegant.
Customer Reviews:
Can't get any better.November 9, 2008 P. Waguespack(Marietta, GA United States) He is one of the great horn players living or dead. I could listen day after day.
InspiringNovember 2, 2008 Robert Sigler(Texas, USA) Being a closit trumpet player myself, this kid makes me wish I'd studied harder. Classy hornblower.
Viva Italia!September 23, 2008 Sabina Zetrenne(Pembroke Pines, FL) This CD is seductive, romantic, beautiful and timeless. I was a fan of Chris Botti before, but now I'm a disciple.
A Chris Botti FanAugust 2, 2008 Dianne Seaman(San Diego, CA USA) My husband and I saw Chris Botti last weekend in Temecula, CA. He and his band delivery high quality entertainment. Catch them in person whenever you can. As for Italia, we just finished listening to this album for the third time -- in 3 hours. It is beautiful and moving. Nessum Dorma alone is worth the price.
IncredibleJuly 31, 2008 S. Epps(Johnson City, TN USA) I love every Chris Botti CD I have and this one may be my favorite. I wouldn't have thought I'd like Nessun Dorma on a trumpet... or Gabriel's Oboe (from the soundtrack of The Mission), but it brings tears to my eyes.
