Editorial Reviews : Alongside the three tenor posses, the dashing Michael Amante is poised to make opera palatable to the mainstream. Amante is bold enough to take on scores from Tosca, La Bohème, Turandot, and Aida, and he postures himself a swell prince on his self-titled debut. Possessed of a powerfully buoyant voice that is tenderly youthful yet richly resonant, Amante charms with the playful 'La Donna e Mobile' from Verdi's Rigoletto and gives a cinematic and masculine cowboy-booted rendering of 'Addio Fiorito Asil' from Puccini's Madame Butterfly. He sings like the angel Gabriel on the selection from Aida and smolders on the slick and regally produced 'Ho Bisogno d'amore,' a love song delivered in Italian and English. Amante is a heartthrob waiting to happen on a large scale. --Paige La Grone
Buyer Reviews : Oh my goodness! Listen to track 13 titled 'Ho Bisogno d'Amore.' You will share my fondness--Italian and English fused love song. Beautiful, astoundingly beautiful. My repertoire purely consist of German and Italian operas and lieds for the majestry of the soprano; however, listening to Amante's debut recital reafirms my passion for what our male tenor voice can achieve! Tracks includes Maestro Pavarotti's signature aria, 'Nessun Dorma' as well as my favorite aria from Rigoletto, 'La Donna e Mobile.' 'O Sole Mio' is also included as well as 'Celeste Aida.' Superb recording! Go to (website) for more infomation, i.e. biography and a video interview!
