Having enjoyed enormous success in Europe, where he was dubbed The People's Tenor, Russell Watson soon found his career in jeopardy following the release 2002's Reprise. A growth was found on one of his vocal chords and he opted to have it removed, which is an especially frightening procedure for a vocalist -- just ask Julie Andrews. Fortunately, Watson's surgery was a success and Amore Musica is his first recording following an extended recovery. Any doubts that his voice was affected by the surgery are immediately put to rest on the opening song, Amore e Musica, a grand pop/classical piece that allows Watson to exercise the range of his newly repaired tenor. If anything, he sounds more relaxed with a silkier tone that further embraces Amore Musica's classical crossover selections. While there are still a couple of true classical selections like an adaptation of Sir Edward Elgar's Nimrod entitled We Will Stand Together, the focus is on material that will hook pop-minded adults who love a strong, romantic voice. And nothing screams louder for pop acceptance than Pray for the Love, a new tune by mega-hit songwriter Diane Warren. Luckily, it is one of her better efforts and Watson delivers a perfect pop performance. But the song's inclusion seems like a calculated effort by Watson to obtain the massive U.S. audience that his North American counterpart, Josh Groban, has already lassoed. To further invite comparison, Watson has included one of Groban's hit songs, You Raise Me Up, as if to say here's my version, take your pick. Frankly, Groban's is the better choice, but that is not to say Watson can't acquire a similar following. Amore Musica may not be the disc that does this for him, since it lacks a standout signature track -- something that Groban has been blessed with twice. However, the disc is Watson's most consistent effort thus far. His choice to move further away from true classical pieces is a good decision as his tenor seems better suited to modern pieces like the inspirational La Fiamma Sacra or the alluring duet with Lara Fabian The Alchemist, a theatrical song that sounds like a lost treasure from Broadway's Miss Saigon or Chess (get this man a show!). Sounding more confident than ever with a renewed voice and a new outlook, Russell Watson is moving in the right direction and Amore Musica is a welcome return. ~ Aaron Latham, Rovi

Watson's fourth album, Amore Musica, presents his trademark blend of classical arias and popular songs. There's the swingy title track 'Amore e Musica', the melodramatic 'Il Gladiatore' based on themes from the Gladiator film score, the inspirational 'I Believe' and the rousing 'You Raise Me Up' the crossover hit popularized by Josh Groban. The music is romantic and passionate; it's Russell Watson singing from the heart. Decca. 2005.

Drawn from the vaults of EMI Music, this compilation is an amazingly diverse account of the range of sounds associated with Italian-made Western films, and an eminently satisfying one as well. Opening with the wildly exuberant Ennio Morricone theme from Vamos a Matar Companeros, which sounds like a chorus of joy sung on the afternoon before the world's end, we switch gears to the alternately sumptuous and ominous Riz Ortolani music from Una Ragione Per Vivere e Una Per Morire, before shifting to the decidedly modernistic, jazzy Piero Piccioni score for Se Inconitri Sartana Prega Per la Tua Morte. There's something for every fan of the music from these films, including a compelling vocal piece by Morricone from the movie Tepepa, and some highly melodic electric guitar in evidence on some of the later scores. Composers Armando Trovaioli, Francesco DeMasi, and Antonio Garcia-Abril are also represented, all in excellent sound. There is no annotation to speak of, but apart from that oversight this is a highly engaging and valuable compilation that belongs in any serious Italian movie-music collection. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
