CD review by Rama Gaind
Double Platinum (Warner Music)
The Ten Tenors
The Ten Tenors are right when they say that: “We take our music seriously”.
Double Platinum has the best blend of professional, powerful voices, as an ensemble and as individuals that draw no lines between classical and contemporary – the seamless changeover by the Ten Tenors is remarkable!
That’s obvious with their new 2CD album, titled Double Platinum.
The first CD is pretty surprising. They admirably tackle Meatloaf, Queen, Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah and Sarah McLachlan’s beautiful Angel.
The second disc has the remarkable Nessun Dorma, the touching Amigos Para Siempre and Bring Him Home from Les Miserables.
They all sound different, but the timbre of their voices is exceptional. The Ten Tenors are renowned for flawless transition from one genre to another. This is proof.
Theirs is a sound that’s unique: classical music and rock are at opposite ends of the spectrum, but the full strength of 10, in all honesty, is luminescent!
