The Only Below-Par Bocelli DVD

The popular opera-pop singer gives tribute to his home town and his family in a series of videos accompanied by almost a dozen songs. This is pretty short at 53 minutes and I found it not up to the standards of his concert programs. However, all the songs are nice, mellow and well-sung, as usual. But, to me, some of the songs are marred by sounds from the accompanying video, such as horses making noises, people talking. This goes on during the middle of some songs and is too distracting.

I want to hear Bocelli's voice - period, not horses whinnying at the same time!

There are some nice shots of the Italian scenery All in all, decent but nothing spectacular and below-par as far as a Bocelli offering.
