Russell Watson's Amore Musica is his first since recent throat surgery--and his fans need not worry. While his sound remains somewhat manufactured (the engineers deserve credit for equalizing his tone), he knows how to put across a heart-rending melody whether he's crooning ("cooing" would not be an inappropriate word either) or using a darker, fuller tone. The inspirational "You Raise Me Up" contains great examples of both. He's backed by a chorus in a song made up of a medley of tunes from the film Gladiator. Lara Fabian joins him in a duet called "The Alchemist." He wrings every bit of emotion out of "I'll Walk with God" from The Student Prince. A tune based on Elgar's "Nimrod" sits very high, and Watson occasionally sounds as if he's shouting. Purists might argue with the many breaks in his voice between registers, while his fans love precisely these tics, but by now those who love him will know that they want this CD and will not be disappointed. Opera lovers--or even Bocelli fans--need not apply. --Robert Levine
Album Description
Over 2 million albums sold in the UK since the release of "The Voice" in 2000. Undoubtedly the most romantic, passionate and personal musical offering from Russell to date.
Album Description
THE VOICE IS BACK! Singing sensation Russell Watson is back with his 4th highly anticipated album release 'Amore Musica'! As it happens Amore Musica is an unbelievable, unexpected new album. Everything has at it's core Russell's unique twist. With lyrics by Diane Warren and Gary Barlow and Elliot Kennedy, who Russell believes to be the greatest songwriters in the world. 'All the songs are about love, music, peace, happiness and hope. That reflects the way I feel right now. It's a record to hold hands to. I want this record to be something that people think about affectionately. Songs that can be played at weddings and funerals. I've never generated as much passion in my lyrics. It's a different sound. It's not about Russell Watson and the way he sings it, it's about Russell Watson singing from the heart and I don't think I've ever done that before.' Decca/Universal. 2004. * No US release scheduled through the end of the year.

Purchased Amore Musica when it was released in the United States in 2004. Have friends that just became aware of this tenor (who is immensely popular in the UK and abroad) so purchased the CD's to give to them. This was recorded after Russell Watson had surgery on his vocal cords and I'm happy to say, left his voice unharmed. CD contains something for everybody. Love it!

Two thumbs up from me. Just found Russel Watson in Nov. 2007. I have bought all CDs and the latest DVD in Dec. 2007. Absolutely wonderful. I play it over and over. I particularly like Magia Sara, Il Gladiatore, The Alchemist, ou'll Still Be There for Me...Actually I loved hering this beautiful voice sing all the choices. Wow, I just marvel each and every time I hear him. The Voice has a quality that cannot be matched & makes me throw rocks at all the rest...

He appears to have lost the sound and confidence of invincibility that was apparent in his previous works. The feeling that he could hit any note and nail it with attitude and aplomb is no longer there. It's a subtle loss. The album also appears to have been made by different producers, musicians, and audio technicians. The accompaniments dont have the grandeur and fullness of past albums. It also sounds like he's using a different mic/pre-amp set-up and effects unit to record his vocals in the studio. This results in a voice devoid of the typical sheen, fullness, spatiality, and "airy-ness" we grew used to hearing from him. I think it has little to do with his voice surgery since in his most recent album "That's Life", the vocal tone exhibited from his first two albums has returned.

I am a strong fan of Watson and have all of his CDs but I was somewhat disappointed in this latest one. While I still enjoyed listening to it, it seemed to me that his voice was not as strong as before--perhaps because of the surgery. I was also not as impressed with his choice of selections as on his previous CDs. I very much liked the mix of songs previously--both opera and popular. This group of songs seemed bland by comparison although they were all very pleasant. I hope his next album will be more like the earlier ones because on those he exhibited a truly powerful and beautiful voice.

Softer than his work before the surgery but every bit as enjoyable.
