The crossover classical tenor embraces an unusually wide range on this set of passionate tunes: He starts out by nestling up next to some flamenco sounds during the introduction of “Perfidia” (before relaxing into a swinging cadence). In addition to singing Elvis’ “Love Me Tender” (in English), he keeps up with duet partner Jennifer Lopez during their orchestra-backed take on the Osvaldo Farrés tune “Quizàs, Quizàs, Quizàs.” The formula is familiar, but Bocelli makes it sound fresh again.
