Dvd Concert Il Divo - Live at the Greek (2006)

The international sensations Il Divo were brilliantly created by mixing some of today's hottest musical trends: the operatic and classical resurgence carried by the Three Tenors and Andrea Bocelli, the sex appeal of a boy band--and a calculated nod to Beatlemania. (Call them the Fab Forte.) This concert DVD, filmed at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, showcases the quartet's vocal chops and undeniable audience connection. The singers take turns in the glitzy spotlight, delivering a host of international favorites that their fans have come to expect, and they don't disappoint. Highlights include an almost devotional delivery of "Unbreak My Heart (Regresa a mi)" and the French heartbreaker "Pour que tu m'aimes encore." If sometimes their material selection seems more schmaltz than splendore ("Feelings," "All by Myself"), Il Divo fans won't mind a bit. Extras include an intimate behind-the-scenes documentary with interviews with all four members, plus extra tracks including "The Time of Our Lives," a soulful performance with Toni Braxton.
