, April 22, 2002Reviewer: formertenor - See all formertenor's reviewsAnybody who likes this sort of opera singing -- like Bocelli's -- is settling for second best. Let me make an analogy: Imagine that for the same price could buy a Fiat or a Ferrari but the Ferrarri could carry more people, never broke down, used less gas, went twice as fast, was more comfortable, turned more heads, and was more crashworthy. I have just compared Watson to any real opera tenor, like Domingo, Cura, Alvarez, Bergonzi, etc.
Watson's voice is a pure product of the microphone and the electronic reverb. He should stick to pop where his instrument -- meger though it is -- is a vast improvement on the competition.

Pro Reviews: Voice
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews The liner notes to the powerful tenor's overwhelmingly emotional debut begin with the assertion that "Russell Watson is a freak." Well, he looks like a normal 27-year-old from a working-class town in England, but what makes him "freaky" is having such an intensely powerful voice at such a young age (and his grip of operatic Italian is a bit unusual, too). Most likely, the promotional efforts -- which find the handsome singer looking like he's in a ~GQ ad -- will focus on getting this classic opera material to be heard and appreciated by a younger crowd. The concept here is "opera with a twist," a happy idea where "Nessun Dorma" and "Amor Ti Vieta" play comfortably alongside pop standards like Freddie Mercury's 1992 Olympic theme "Barcelona" (a rock-influenced duet with Shaun Ryder) and "Vienna," a number two hit for Ultravox in 1981. Compared to his effortless tackling of so much challenging material -- not to mention the beautiful swells by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra -- a cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" comes across as a bit staid, but it's still a version that brings out as much emotion as possible. Other featured material includes "Nella Fantasia," "Ricordo Ancor" (from Captain Corelli's Mandolin), and duets with Maire Brennan and Cleopatra Higgins. Even if the thought of opera makes you cringe, Watson is still an amazing artist who might just convert you for an hour or so. - Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide |
