5.0 out of 5 stars Viva Il Divo!, 20 Dec 2005
This DVD is a treat for the millions of Il Divo fans, not least because of the live concert in the fabulous outdoor setting of Merida in Spain. Watch the guys singing tracks from the new CD Ancora, and see if you were right about who sings which bit! More than that, though, there's a fantastic documentary and interviews with our four heroes, so that you really begin to feel you know them better. Added to which, you also get the DVDs of Mama and Regresa A Mi from the first album, which were realeased separately. An absolute bargain, worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars IL DIVO = MAGIC!, 24 Mar 2006
This is a must have for all Il Divo fans, and who isn't a fan these days, around the globe.
The powerfull sound of these four singers, two tenors,URS and David, one vox populi, Sebastian, and one baritone, Carlos will touch your soul.
The concert set in beautifull Merida, Spain is breathtaking. Like Gladitore back in the day, the appropriate line would be: 'We, who are about to sing, salute you'. They sing five songs: Si tu me Amas; Isabelle; Oh Holy Night; Heroe; All by myself (Solo otra Vez). You don't have to speak the language in which they sing because you will be fluent in the language of Opera (I don't care much for the terms Popera and Classical Crossover).
The documentary, with spiritual father Simon Cowell, gives you insight into Urs, Seb, Carlos & David but only to a certain level. If you really want more indepth information on the men I suggest you go to www.ildivo.com and find out much more.
Also the two video's of Regresa a Mi and Mamma are included, a big bonus!
Come to think of it you don't even have to be a fan to buy this DVD, because after watching the DVD there is no turning back and you will be screaming ENCORE, ENCORE, ENCORE, ENCORE and you have entered the fanbase of the greatest group to date.
With no further ado, I will leave you to your purchase (AND PLEASE BUY IT, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT) and I wish you a very good time watching the MAGIC of IL DIVO!
All my best, Floor

5.0 out of 5 stars IL Divo Encore DVD, 15 Jul 2006
Il Divo's first dvd is exceptional. It shares the innocence of a new beginning with the bold explosion of four tremendously talented young men sharing one voice. The documentary section allows us an inside to the thoughts and personalities of each of the four, as well as an unbelievable journey to the concert location in Spain. And it includes music from their cd's, a couple of video productions, and an interview with Simon Cowell who made his dream a reality the world can now share.

Gratefully having the opportunity to see them live in concert during their World Tour in Houston only solidifies my appreciation of watching and listening to the Encore dvd.

If the format of the dvds and cds is questionable, the producers should ensure a better use of the technology available.

But regardless of how you play it, every time watching and listening to Il Divo is an experience to appreciate. Thank you Urs, Carlos, Sebastian, and David.

IL DIVO IS A MUST 2 BUY.....KEEP 1 AND SHARE 1.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great expectations unfulfilled, 7 Jan 2006
By C. Hamilton (Rockhampton, Qld. Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While Il Divo are capable of taking the world by storm (and indeed their concert ticket sales have proved this), I found the DVD 'Encore' and the related CD 'Ancora' a bit disappointing. My first gripe is that the DVD only has a Dolby Digital 2.0 audio track. Not good enough in this day and age Simon. Should be at least DD 5.1 or dts.

My second disappointment is that all the tracks on both the DVD and CD do not offer much change in tempo. Come on boys, what about some faster paced numbers here and there to build the performance. That said I am still looking forward to their concert in Brisbane, Australia, come March.

3.0 out of 5 stars Il Divo Encora, 13 Sep 2006
By Shirley Sigafus (Hayward,WI ,USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
These 4 young men take my breath away and I am in my 70's. I fell in love with them the very first time I saw them on the Ellen show. Simon Cowell found the very best. I put their CD in my player at night and they sooth me right to sleep
Are they going to come to the states again soon? Next CD please.... I have them both and the Encore. Is there another one out there. Thank you Carlo's, David ( by the way My Maiden name is Miller) (Just thought I'd throw that in)Sebastien and Urs for giving us this beautiful music and your wonderful style of your performance on stage.

1.0 out of 5 stars SOUND QUALITY, 26 Dec 2005
By Elmarie (SOUTH AFRICA) - See all my reviews
I AM A BIG FAN AND WAS VERY EXCITED TO RECEIVE YOUR DVD FOR CHRISTMAS. BUT I WAS REALY DISSAPPOINTED IN THE SOUND QUALITY. THE DVD WAS ONLY RECORDED IN DOLBY DIGITAL. WE HAVE A BIG SOUNDSYSTEM AND MUSIC REALY SOUNDS BEST IN DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1 OR DTS. YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL SUCSESFUL GROUP, I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE THAT WILL AGREE WITH ME. THAT WAS REALY ALL THAT I COULD FIND WRONG. THE PERFORMANCES WAS GREAT, AND I LOVED
YOUR MUSIC.
