5.0 out of 5 stars Keep It Coming!, 7 Aug 2006

By	Angel of Urs (Staffordshire, UK) - See all my reviews

Surely after such an amazing first album, they can't produce such fantastic and captivating songs second time round?

Well they have and it is truly superb! This time round there are less English lyrics and we see alot of Spanish and some lovely French pieces.
Best songs include:
*Isabel*
*Pour Que Tu Maimes Encore*
*Hasta Mi Final*
and for the lucky English fans an extra UK Bonus Track *Esisti Dentro Me*...TRUST ME IT IS WORTH BUYING AN ENGLISH IMPORT JUST FOR THIS SONG...IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG ON THE ALBUM.

Very very moving lyrics regardless of the language...songs to wake you up in the morning...songs to send you to sleep...and songs to cry along too.
A great mix of songs, fantastic voices and perfect harmonies!

RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE OF ANY AGE GROUP AND BACKGROUND!

5.0 out of 5 stars I salute you Simon Cowell!!!!!!!!!!, 16 Nov 2005

By A Customer

Before purchasing the album I was having doubts about whether this new album would be as fantastic as the first one. Boy was I in for a surprise when I actually bought 'Ancora'. It's for ALL ages...this coming from a 19 year old girl, who's always appreciated classical/opera music from a very tender age. It's a LOT better than Il Divo's debut album. It's absolutely breath taking. You'll only, really, have an idea of how splendidly this band works together once you've bought this album. I have two words of advice: BUY IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Divine Music!, 11 Mar 2006

By A Customer

This album contains unique and utterly divine interpretations of some well-known songs, as well as some new material.
I've never been a fan of Whitney Houston, so I listened apprehensively to 'Hero'; however, it blew me away! My own personal favourite is 'I Believe' featuring Celine Dion - it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Their version of 'Unchained Melody' is stunning, as is 'Ave Maria'.
In fact, the whole album is stunning - an aural treat, whether classical music is your 'bag' or not!
Each voice has it's own superb qualities and they are showcased in style, on Ancora. (My favourite is Urs' tenor vocals - a smooth, silky voice that sends shivers up my spine when he solos..it is he who instroduces 'Holy Night'...a beautiful voice for a beautiful song!)
You won't be disappointed with this - in fact, I prefer this album to the first...but only just!
