| Anyone familiar with "Amici forever" ? I heard them on The Good Morning Show a couple weeks ago and I sent for their cd. They are 5 young classical singers. Really enjoyable!! Probably everyone knows them but me. I am usually behind the times. |

| No, you're not, Woodsie...their GMA appearance was the first I'd heard of them, too. :roll: I wasn't that crazy about the women, although I'm sure they're very good...goes back to that soprano thing, I guess. : |

Hi Woodsie
I am not that familiar with 'Amicis Forever', however I bought their cd in November along with Pav's ti adoro (special offer if you bought both) and I love them!! I think Pav's wins just by a 'whisker' though... but they are both great!
Enjoy amica :D

Amici Forever consists of 3 Brits, 1 Kiwi and 1 South African. Their debut album The Opera Band, recently launched in the USA, is currently a major hit in Europe. The band is made up of:-
Nick Garrett - England (Bass Baritone)
Jo Appleby - England (Soprano)
David Habbin - England (Tenor)
Tsakene Valentine - South Africa (Soprano)
Geoff Sewell - New Zealand (Tenor)
They are five good looking, clean-cut singers who have given opera and pop favourites a new spin. Purists may be offended, but if their thoroughly pleasant versions of The Pearl Fishers, Nessum Dorma et al opens more minds then all the better.
I first heard them when they supported Shirley Bassey on her UK tour last year. I recommend a listen.

It's so hard with only 30 seconds of listening....but I really like the sound of "Prayer In the Night" and "Canto Alla Vita". It's not that I didn't like the others.. just didn't get the opportunity to really get the full feel of the other songs. Prayer In the Night sounds very dramatic though and I liked ittttttt alot. I adore Canto Alla Vita too....I can put that song on repeat for an hour - from Josh Groban's disc. |
Ok, I'll have to go give them a listening to...
I love "Canto Alla Vita", too - for the beat and sound and all...but for lyrics on a Josh Groban song, my favorite will always be "Home to Stay". |

I know exactly what you mean...it's kind of like watching your favorite sad movie over and over - you know you're going to lose it, but you almost NEED to watch it in order to get to that place. :
Time for me to get some help? :roll: Paging Willma!! |

Yes Melodie, I agree Home to Stay - "Reach out to me, Call out my name, And I will bring you back again, Today" - is very emotive.
Give Amici a listen (sopranos and all), I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I will see them perform in Glasgow on June 1.

Jeez, Michael, you go see EVERYONE! I'm quite envious.
I will definitely listen to Amici...I promise.
You know, listening to "Home to Stay" is one thing...seeing the words like that right in front of me seems to be even worse. : (but I'm glad you like the CD :wink:) |
