Sacred Arias - CD

"Sacred Arias is for lack of a better term a holiday album, though it contains other arias that aren't specifically about Christmas, plus non-religious selections. The album holds together fairly well, since the arrangements are of a piece, and Bocelli performs each in his signature style. While not offering new interpretations of these standards, nor unique phrasing, he delivers spirited performances of strong, albeit familiar, music that's accessible to a wide audience.
