Rating: - Daydream
Botti's "Italia" CD is a lovely recording.It's soft & slow.Botti wrote the title track with David Foster which weaves a dreamy sonic landscape.Botti also wrote "Venice" with Dean Parks which makes me flash to Gato Barbieri's fine soundtrack for Last Tango In Paris: Original MGM Motion Picture Soundtrack.I've loved Botti's collaborations with Paula Cole.On his When I Fall in Love CD she sang the gorgeous "What'll I Do"; and on the soundtrack for August Rush: Music From The Motion Picture ...

Rating: - I luv Chris Bott, However.,....
I found this Cd a bit humdrum, Botti plays beautifully as usual, but nothing to write home about.
Rating: - Botti at his best!!!
This is Chris Botti at his best...he has captured the feel of old Italy.
Great album with very well placed cuts.

I would have bought it for "Italia" alone but there are nice surprises...like working with tapes of Dean Martin on "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face"...very nice.
Rating: - Botti's best
Italia is Botti's best. Standuts include the duets with Paula Cole and Dean Martin, plus the title piece--Italia (Andrea Bocelli)
"Ava Maria" is premo along with the title cut from "Once Upon A Time InAmerica" and "Nessun Dorma".
A rare CD, where you get what you pay for...and more. Not a single average cut on the entire CD.
Profound, evocative, haunting, lyrical, rich.
Quite simply, the best trumpeter ever.
Rating: - Beautiful music
Heard this when my friend was playing this in her car.Came home and immediately ordered it and have loved listening to it over and over again.Then, I heard "When I Fall in Love" at another friend's house.Bought that too and have loved listening to that one!You won't be disappointed!
